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 a bit more about his ambitions now but his talk about tripoli is he going to be able to take that city. he planned to take tripoli in two days when he launched his 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 deaths 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 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 and part of that is really due to the fact that they
3:22 am
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 house they are the strong man the strong military man who can bring stability to libya and can fight extremism on the other hand we have a u.n. 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 it also in other countries like syria they you know the security council cannot agree even on a smallest reserve lucian regarding libya so we have kind of a power struggle but it looks like france at least will take no more moderate.
