i am on the side of the libyan people i mean clearly it is there is a plan to have an election but of course the situation in the country today is not really favorable to that i mean there is really war going on in the east there is a lot of clashes around tripoli as has been for the last two or three weeks so this environment is not really suitable for any election that can be done where it would be a fair and free election for the libyan people country need to be stabilized first to be able to allow for any elections in the future elections it is not a magical thing that will solve the problem and even if we have election i don't think the going to make a big difference today but so you may the idea is to stabilize libya before holding elections but how are you going to do that how how can you stabilize libya amel has been happening for the past few years. yes that's true i mean it is a very challenging situation because of the militias who they took over every part of the country i mean and they're out of the east the west the south they're everywhere and these militias they're get

to play in the future of libya i mean i mean any any libyan has the right if they are not convicted in a court to flow if they could not commit crimes against the country in the libyan have the right to participate in the political system of the country and for presidential the so for mr safely islam which i don't know exactly what he is i mean the last time you know that he is imprisoned and sometimes i hear that maybe he was left but again i don't know what he has i mean he should come out and tell us where he is a few is interested in doing that so so in principle anybody who did not was not convicted for a crime in libya i don't think that mr safely slam can do that unfortunately because when he has all the power unit his lifestyle he cannot do much as my first became out and he threatened the libyan people when the revolution started so i don't think that he is really contributing figure because again because of his history the history of his father and when he has all the power when his father was in power he has all the power to do with her but he want and we haven't seen muc

they would help to stabilize and unify the country which side are you on i am on the side of the libyan people i mean clearly it is there is a plan to have an election but of course the situation in the country today is not really favorable to that i mean there is really war going on in the east there is a lot of clashes around tripoli as has been for the last two or three weeks so this environment is not really suitable for any election that can be done lucian of the forces that mr soros has has issued an order to to form if they will really become very serious in doing their job and if they have the power and that's the thing it is. and also i think the important thing right now the united nations mission is a think being of much better role than they have done over the last four or five years at least now they are calling things by their names they are talking about the issues of the problems that are facing the country and also showing there is far more support from the international community to overcome this challenge that we are facing at this time. so the libyan officials are re

makers in order so i think we try to be represented now as you mentioned you've been following the libyan conflict for quite some time how would you describe its trajectory seventy years after the violent change of power in there i mean there's no doubt that in the seven years that have passed since the fall of gadhafi we have cumulated other crises in libya and let's not forget that just three years ago there was another major crisis which was the political split of the country between two rival governments which has led to the creation of rival military coalition so the trajectory the overall trajectory is. a negative trajectory because where as in after twenty eleven we had optimism in a certain sense we had the hope that elections would be able to. pave the way of a new course and a new chapter in the country's future. what we're seeing today is increasing fragmentation increasing even implosions of the various coalitions and the deadlock that it was totally predictable even in two thousand and eleven wasn't it well if everything could have gone wrong in two thousand and eleven but ev
