a variety of militias have been. fighting inside libya north east and west and there has been also kind of a civil war between those militias so it's not. it's not a very delusional scenario and in this part of north africa and the un is worried about this that's why mr good terrorist was there today it tripoli what would happen if the u.n. backed government in tripoli were to fall. if this government falls then we would see. after becoming the leader of libya which he has been aiming to be in the last four years he wants to be the strongman and the leader of libya. on the other hand there are many forces inside libya and many arms or sit there and

lots of weapons in libya this is also dangerous who are against after you. do not want. to be in power so this would be a very dangerous situation for libya and also for neighboring tunisia. is worried about the what about egypt is egypt the biggest supporter of how to or egypt is a very strong supporter of have to there's also the united arab emirates who have been backing after in the last few years with money and with military. equipment. and there are also european supporters of have started like france that they want. to to come to an agreement with the un backed government there is should be elections there should have been elections in two thousand and eighteen already in december but this is it didn't work out there was against it and now they're trying to hold elections again in two thousand and nineteen now after these developments

in the last few days the scenario of broking in brokering a peace deal and holding elections is becoming more and more unprobable yeah i mean but listening to what you say it sounds like the international community has little credibility and little of i guess restoring the state. i think most of the states european states and the neighboring states are trying to you know keep away from libya they have seen that not to intervene there two thousand and eleven and since then the this country was unsafe unstable and the night so was very. vehemently for just size for intervening and softening the regime there of mamata of afi so nobody wants to send his troops inside libya. and also the neighboring arab countries that don't want to see their soldiers
