they've claimed the attack on the oil facility near tripoli that terminus such as for international and security affairs outside the group is now more active and organized than a year ago should we be worried that the group will use libya's disarray to re-emerge and raise stablish itself. of course the it's very unfortunate yes i mean the the instant that you mention this as a proxy war for those countries of course we know the conflict is going on between the countries you mentioned the united arab emirates and egypt and qatar and turkey and others and france and italy and so on and so so unfortunately those countries they are also polarized and they come in different sides of the of the factions that are fighting together and they are there who are fueling it who they are really compete to slee supporting that sometimes even by their own. military to help one side against the other but all actors in the libyan political standoff are in contact with russia does a moscow can play a role in bringing the parties to the negotiating table the same way it's seeing in syria for example i mean differently i me
