been killed and hundreds more wounded this week as fighting rages over the capital tripoli the call comes as the united nations fails to agree on taking action to stop powerful militia highly if i have to in his attempts to overthrow the u.n. backed government in the capital now with fighting also intensifying one of the regions in libya at least twenty five thousand people have been displaced in recent days i'll be discussing the dynamics of this latest farah but first this report 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 managed to escape from the clashes we try to stay in the homes but we couldn't any more 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. results on the ground rockets hit indiscriminately they hit innocent people who are 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 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. qatar's forces said they would take the city within days but prime minister faces a several years international recognized government has resisted strongly with the help of armed groups from various western libyan factions. but that's coming at a price hundreds gathered in tripoli to attend the funeral of a government backed fighter. to take over a bench on this criminal who's killing our children he's coming to invade tripoli.

have tears ellen a blame the rocket fire and what it calls terrorists militias whose grip on the capital it says it is trying to and. for more on the story and the plays in it i'm joined by. another let's let's get straight into this and talk about the timing of all of this why is anyone have to go for tripoli now. that he will be weakened now because he had to share the power with a human back. 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 i didn't want really to share the power with the other governments you want to try to seize the power in tripoli and also the moment where the jury and the government there june army was preoccupied with

the demonstrations instead of geria 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 would be reading about and hearing about right now we've put 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. i have to it is by no means a newcomer to libya's political scene and throughout for decades the military strongman has shifted from the center to the periphery and is now at the forefront of the conflict in libya. once a close ally to mama khadafi 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 a bit more about his ambitions now but it's still about trippy is he going to be able to take that city he planned 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 wished ok let's talk about the foreign policy we know that there was a u.n. security council meeting on the state night and they failed to reach a resolution on peace 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 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 friends also. plays a very big role in that so. as also in other countries like syria that 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. position between that these two governments competing governments have to have the u.n. backed government so it's a very complicated situation right now dow cyrus is arabic department thank you. now all that hustle is something we

africans know all too well on this report takes us to angola and the city off where the majority of the population is yeah 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 you are taking matters into their own hands. and go in the second largest city it's a young city more than half of its one and a half million inhabitants are under fifteen years old they need schools universities occasional training and jobs. game. but in state the education system is in a dire state it's the same story all over the city in the problems begin at school . as. those

real say since we have two thousand six hundred eighty pupils that's a lot but we only have fifteen classroom hours lots of people have to learn outdoors where they have the sun dust a noisy traffic to contend with this does not live up to educational standards. that. the hours the crisis can be felt throughout the school system all the way up to university with high tuition fees low quality and meager job prospects there are currently ten thousand university students in one book and that number is on the rise many of them will get a degree but what is that really worth. the quality has not improved that means that a lot of students have degrees that aren't really worth anything at all they just pieces of paper that's a big problem in angola. he was against all odds there are some
