a human back. overnight in tripoli two months ago he was in abu dhabi with the head of the government of tripoli's raj and people were talking about a kind of a peace deal that was being brokered and there should be elections to till the end of the year so i think that if a hostile didn't fund freely to share the power with the other governments you want to try to seize the power in tripoli and seize also the moment where the jury and the government there june army was preoccupied with the demonstrations instead of duryea and be the only leader of libya so that's why he sees that moment and actually maybe he succeeded in terms of the that the conference that was in mid april. you know in the auspices of the u.s. was canceled so kind of success ok for him ok so i mean he is the man people would
8:35 pm
be reading about and hearing about right now we fit a bit of a bit of a portrait on him let's have a look at that and then we'll continue our conversation that it. after is by no means a newcomer to libya's political scene throughout for decades the military strongman has shifted from the center to the periphery and is now a default front of the conflict in libya. once a close ally to mama qaddafi after spend more than two decades exiled in the u.s. following the fall out with the former president have to return to libya and twenty eleven during the nato backed uprising that ousted and killed. he rose to become one of the top military commanders leading rebels. in twenty fourteen he started consolidating his power and now controls territory in the eastern and so the regions of the country now he has his eyes on the capital tripoli where in twenty sixteen an internationally recognized government has been installed but has since struggled to exert control over the country and numerous militias around the city.

i have to reportedly wants to become the head of libya's army following a national reconciliation deal with his group the libyan national army to become the country's armed forces but with his forces at the gates of tripoli after may calculate that his move can be used to grab power or be leveraged to extract demands during negotiations. ok that is so we know more about his ambitions now but his talk about trippi is he going to be able to take that city he plans to take tripoli in two days when he launches offensive two weeks ago no it's two weeks he did not succeed so yet on the other hand he wanted to kind of a swift power grab and soft power grab but until now we have seen lots of death and casualties and many many people displaced so we don't know how much power he actually has but it doesn't look that the this will go as he actually initially
8:37 pm
wished ok let's talk about the foreign policy we know that there was a u.n. security council meeting on thursday night and they failed to reach a resolution on peace in libya part of that is really due to the fact that they couldn't agree on the have to why is that there are many powers in libya competing over libya we have a kind of a bloc in the arab world that's the saudi arabia the united arab emirates and. egypt the neighbor the eastern even of libya and they see in how are they strongman the strong military man who can bring stability to libya and can fight extremism on the other hand we have a un backed government which is supported by the u.n. and by italy mainly but still there are conflicting interests france also. plays a very big role in that so. as also in other countries like syria that you know the
