half the controls east in libya a year ago he launched an offensive for the weakest and with it libya's capital tripoli but his forces have been pushed back in recent weeks the worry is just general haftar is not going to. or. where we need to. rise up and get. into. place. it's an intractable conflict with both hafta and the tripoli government receiving support from multiple nations fuel that feeds the conflict one of half his closest allies is the united arab emirates sources told al-jazeera that a senior. abu dhabi delegation including the crown prince's brother flew into khartoum on choose day to discuss how sudan and the u.a.e. could further support general haftar sudanese officials deny the report there learn and then leave you if you had a part of the u.a.e. is playing a role bigger than its size by its constant interference in the affairs of a number of arab countries we need to consider that we in libya are in a state of war against the u.a.e. . the united arab emirates was also outed on wednesday in human rights watch report for a drone strike on a biscuit factory near tripoli

not only libya syria yemen. afghanistan or parts of somalia where conflict traditionally has been an obstacle to the delivery of humanitarian assistance. then the situation becomes even more complicated this is not just a matter of having to help people that leaving crowded areas where this noice keep to social contact or where the weather or where water is scarce but in addition to that you have fighting preventing humanitarian aid to reach these people clearly in syria our health care facilities are being bombed and there's a real difficulty getting things across the border again in yemen very difficult to cross lines with vital supplies without suspicion of hostilities without at least a ceasefire that the secretary general is calling for in those situations it would be impossible to stop the pandemics in those countries you know one important point that we have trying to make to daughters is that as you hopefully and the kid additional resources in these countries to help us counter the pandemics don't let g

and in what yeah in central libya and the strangler. there are more airstrikes not in there have been since $120.00 i mean it's all it's a lot is that there is less war there's moon now and in fact it's the probably the cover of covert 19 the global destruction there's a lot that is in the way that in fact there was so much of the destruction in january after the assassination of general zinni many in iraq and that in that sense there was a huge upsurge in strikes in tripoli today that is very much the same thing but on steroids there is no appetite so watch what is happening in libya and those that are perpetrating those crimes sustaining that war and pushing that forward feel absolutely no sense of pressure and that's why they're making a land grab they might even be a land grab to that and it's in the green water they've been upsurge of violence towards that in the last 10 days it's huge what is taking place there but in fact this unnecessary war that's the real problem here not only of these numbers and the stats don't give you the
