5:17 am
on the situation on the ground. in mind that are located ten kilometers away from the center of the libyan capital tripoli a new wave of displaced people lined up to see food and water. supplies who managed to escape from the clashes we try to stay in their homes but we couldn't anymore because the shelling intensified. since the fighting began seven thousand people have had to flee i never alone and this is what they are fleeing from rockets fired on the neighborhood of abu salem in the capital tripoli. grad rockets hit indiscriminately they hit innocent people were in the middle of the capital it's one of the most densely populated parts of tripoli with. the rocket fire has been blamed on forces loyal to commander telephone after two weeks ago his self-styled national army. advanced on the country's capital tripoli adding another layer to the almost eighty year old conflict in libya. the turks forces said they would

5:19 am
a you want backup. and 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 the end of the year so i think that if the house started in front really 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 inside of your ear 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.n. was canceled so kind of success for him ok so i mean he is the man people would
5:20 am
would be reading about it and hearing about right now at least a bit of a portrait on him let's have a look at that and then we'll continue our conversation that it. i have to it 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.
5:21 am
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 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 you know 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
5:22 am
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 if there be a 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 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 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
5:23 am
security council cannot agree even on the 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. position between that these two governments competing governments hotter and the un backed government so it's a very complicated situation right now cyrus is arabic department thank you. now all that hustle is something we africans know all too well our next report takes us to angola and the city off where the majority of the population is yet and the infrastructure isn't in place to provide for their needs the appetite for a good education isn't catered for by the schools and colleges that exist but some industrious units are taking matters into their own hands.
