Days numb but the libyan warlord loses his last stronghold in the west turkeys military intervention in the time this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im going to. Have to in libya our unraveling quickly warlord launched an offensive 14 months ago to capture the capital tripoli from the un recognized government of National Accord all g. N. A. T. Its forces say they regain full control of tripoli. Pushed half dollars funding to us from the town of tal the last stronghold in western libya follows weeks of similar defeats on the losses of territory along the coast but half the remains in control of large parts of eastern and southern libya where the oil fields are a correspondent mahmud up to wahid as more from. The Government Forces pull out and now it will come. Out of. The defeat of half of his forces and this is. Now by losing. That major i lost. The west in libya as you know that that swift takeover of the. Thats the. Lift. This city off the huna is mainly a tribute to the Turkish Military support for the Government Forces and also there was through all of that russian medicine is one of the bagnall group have been fighting alongside after the forces now. This city the city have to know about 75 kilometers south of the capital tripoli is very strategic very significant from here. After his forces had a Central Command over the past year and from here Russian Military experts i dont agree with in monte any gyptian military experts have been supporting cast that they run the battles but on the battles in southern tripoli from the certain Central Command and the city up to who are now from ted who now have to his forces received Ministry Enforcement reinforcements and also military supplies over the past year momentum began to shift in january when turkey started sending troops and drones to support the internationally recognized government and turkeys president has promised more cooperation with libyas Prime Minister the United Nations says talks on a cease fire have resumed for the 1st time in 3 months. And if i as also raj urged nations such as russia egypt and the u. A. E. To stop supporting Khalifa Haftar he speed is among. Libya hold on a person who was never concerned about the libyan peoples problems and who has been putting libyas future in constant danger can never have the capability to sit at the negotiation table or this person and both who provide political military and Financial Support to him are the biggest obstacle to peace. Or youre going to hear and i would like to address the countrys head of support of this aggression and that contributed to the killing of libyans and the destruction of the country you lost your bets we will take you to court and here you have just tasted defeat at the gates of tripoli this supplies how you have supported the war criminal with money and weapons keep your hands off us let libyans live in peace history is unforgiving. Lets introduce our panel in turkeys capital ankara. Turkey a researcher in the setter foundation a think tank in San Antonio Texas man saw here professor of politics at the university of texas in san antonio and in washington d. C. William lawrence senior a junk professor soria lecture at the American University school of International Service welcome to you all william 1st of all to you is what weve seen in libya in the last 24 hours a day escalation or just a turning point its definitely its early. Look at the color naps who controls what we need Senate Changes just in the last 24 hours that push the front line up with the western government from 20 kilometers 240 kilometers outside of tripoli and russian mercenaries or perhaps or troops east are now back 600 years part of the church. So this is the. Youre turning and its part of an escalation and the west is calculating how far it can go and certainly the western government would like to take over the rest of libya not that they have street successes over the last 6 weeks but. Why in your minds all around the world and many others are trying to squash the west not overplayed its hand and to get back to. The jan will turkeys intervention encourage a deescalation or is it is this a turning point what will turkey want to happen. What turkey wants is a clear and consistent over the years i believe because we saw turkey standing with the legitimate government in the recent years but even before that turkey was always aiming for and you know negotiated a political solution before the hostile takeover of the libyan in the station and his and his claim to the place of the rule of the whole country. Turkey was trying to engage both with than libyan after the northeast and libyan actors what sort of peak for the time being once it is. Rolling back of the aggressiveness which was which is booth by a number of regional and global actors. You know pulling polling and you know that firing the rest of the attempt to take over tripoli and take down the d. N. A. Which is now seems to be seems to be achieved already now milltown the speakon g. N. A. T. Thought by the nation turkey would like to march even further. In order to take back the town such a city and also the small town such as the. At the end of the process the military aspect of this again what if you were. The elimination of laughter as and personally little act from the from the view theme because turkey turkey and as it lead it in that coup plotter put it which was which was again in a voice by yesterdays meeting by president on himself one more so the elimination of. That which is and if possible the royle of turnips actors in Eastern Libya who. Have been under the under pressure of the persian gulf as we saw in 2 attempts of after mill till the taken over the rule of the country for months although you are it sounds like the games are a half start turkeys not going to stop until hes gone if it. The bible thinks of invisible i mean at the end the mother can say kate thats a dozen something that you still go wrong this is one and then i think its a mistake to try to get to does it just make it act up is that as old as he said thats arms and to be aggression is documented why is that we doing all this while as well as well as the mistress of russia is a bit to the government is not and so and took it took the pain for all these for all these mercenaries and on why because it loves libya its come on stop that ok its interests i mean to go it was quite right there are no that there are no trends in International Politics there are only interests and took turkish turkish as allies agreement reminds me again of if i get a part of it was we did what the goal of this is that its a part of it is what he said which is really wonderful so that agreement between the weak and the strong ally closes them young and young girls you start giving up your hats then you give your coat then you give you or should they give us good and then you give your soul. What is to be doing in libya. I was hoping at the quick end to both sides i was hoping to intuit to an end to to comfort them to be there yesterday. It was the wake of 31 people who were bettered yesterday and the country and the cities see the good and to empower up the the the radical zionists in the west well we wont stop until we get the oil fields ultimately this is what its all a box ok. Well the answer is im not on some sort of libya no theyre not no one sided make up 70 percent of the abyss all is inside and make it ok and the so items and the west one 3rd or 0 and they will do or do any splendid to do it our will have to made big mistakes we depended on the russians we depended. On the hard way they all know for example our support its own interests william. Days are numbered in a way herring reporting might even being cairo at the moment meeting with sisi along with the leader of the libyan house of representatives half dollars going to the going to try and move him on all may well have to present dissent 9 lives id say yes 18 lives if you look at his career counting have to rout is not a good bet in libya but theres no question that the russians are frustrating but have to are the amorality 7 for us he would have to for some years now egyptians are frustrated with d dont and d when he declared out last month that he wanted to take over of the west the Eastern Parliament and the beast or government and against the very good and see that gibson position hes in he was rebuffed by the head of the parliament to some degree started a separate peace plan which is backed by the russians and others and so while there are several factors d of pressure both from inside and outside libya to force after out i think he will try to hang on for as long as possible because. As for have to are its all about gaining power in order to reach his ideological and other jack tips its not about just the cause of the easter because some some defense of the east its about his own check to see if i could just disagree a little bit with my respected colony in texas that any of it would have a chanst that hes telling about in terms of the church in the west can be even more applied to do have to hunt east certainly there are twice as many earth mercenaries fighting for the east they are fighting you know for control of oil is just as bad as any fighter control in d the west and have to has even more islamists fighting for him is the suppose it. Is trying to rip from the west so most of these accusations are projections from the east of the west about what the east is doing even worse than the west in most cases now the solution here obviously will be a bush it one when the libyan actors winds up to that wheat is unclear at this point but i would not count have to are out yet though to what will the turkish president be telling the tripoli based Prime Minister fires also raj to do now will you be telling him to fight on support for the east or will it be telling him to take part in a cease fire and talk. Well if we if you look at the statement by the fire the surat yesterday he said he doesnt want to sit down with up the at the moment because. For the for the past one year or more than one year we saw you know repeated aggression by after camp on the tripoli but you know when when the when the military balance changed in the triple tanya we saw eastern actors the spokesman spokesman of the modern flood and also after himself talking about you know the fire station of hostilities and for the sake of ramadan and also he does that that for religious and humanitarian purposes but this this this you know does not seem to be quite convincing because you know these these condition have been around for a very long time but we have not seen the actors call important goes in and they have been they have been strongly defiant in the face of any suggestions for peace and we built the actions please remember you know i need the hostiles to crap and rejected all international attempts to reach a ceasefire and you know you remember the moscow moscow meetings he did not even find the you know a cease fire agreement and even berlin he did not accept them seized by solution so it is not realistic to expect the east and you know eastern actors achieve that only for half the to expect to accept on a ceasefire and negotiated solution the on the thing that would that would you know convince him and other failures of him is a mystery of defeat. The whats what made them you know call it was this part was the fact that they were defeated militarily into port tinier and that was thanks to turkeys support the government of National Accord because you know you d. N. A. Has been quite weak because no one was supporting them apart from 30 after the top of the number on the understanding but on the other hand we had. Supported by many regional and political actors so whats present everyone would tell by the so roach is. Why its them to come to company good 15 people but i think after the military. Targets are being cheap not now what will take a perfect and 2nd short pause there as my colleague alex topless takes a closer look at how Foreign Military intervention has changed the course of the war. Has been decisive in changing the fortunes of the exciting turn and in particular with the use of drones. The warlord Khalifa Haftar forces 1st use chinese made wing long to arm drones 4 years ago with a range of 1500 kilometers these have been able to operate out of bases in the east Striking Government targets in the west. The wing longs helps forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar advance and besieged the beleaguered jna in tripoli often inflicting indiscriminate damage. But turkeys extensive military aid to the un backed government this year changed a lot as the gene a started to receive Turkish Armed drones namely the batek time t. V. To these drones with a limited range while not as capable as the wing longs still gave the g. N. A. T. The ability to strike have to us forces interrupt his supply lines and protect its own units as they advanced catching their enemies by surprise this tripolis troops counterattacked. Mon sol. Doesnt have that many friends in the east unified support will be now cracks more obvious in showing over that will be time who else could take over from him do you think this is difficult you know have to buzz and listen i mean i mean i personally said that to my total i said you know your lines of supply make no sense attacking the west in such a way makes no sense but it is his problem is that it doesnt listen but even im not i mean im becoming more and more and more convinced that politicians cant control libya at least right now the kind of government the current government because niqab theyve done the job is too difficult for them and become because they are overwhelmed with this mostly because a list and at 1st of all even even even in the east has is that by force he has he has the guns yes the guns yesterday i had a number of calls i was talking about the whole day talking on the phone but this is the that is the see the scene and going to have to run one point on one side and seating with anger the west because because all those individuals look at the cities that befriended him now turned against them but they came to them so they have been what he and thats and its which was which was supporting him does what we go there they attacked the east. And so to us and they took their arms and it is a very very angry. This piece up but right now what were talking right now is a good way they should be but this isnt right no said only the only for the perhaps and media raved this is the Libyan Parliament and the Libyan Parliament has that has been fighting with after this is why theres a meeting in cairo you know but dont dont dont dont back it up dont dont negate have to. After this little course in the east and it will be of course maybe i and somebody would have to deal with him one way or another perhaps not by himself but he has to get with him and let me just everyone one thing which i which i spoke to after were when his meeting where he lived but then again i said to her that mr have to what youre trying to build in shows shows a. Little bit of ignorance about about what you should do you went to berlin you took your grandson and you took your son and go what you should have done going to be a little too talk about that at least you should at least they gave a shit made up individuals who talk about the east as a partner not you by yourself you know does not have to talk and this is the problem the problem is that we dont want to have to it is ingrained it is mine is that i am the leader im doing im the one im the one who is always who decides with our time and hes not william bonsoir hinting that increased instability now in the east i know you tell us people should not write off. But is there someone else that the u. A. E. And egypt would want d now to take over from him theyve had enough of an. Very much so although again i agree with dick here that we should not count him out and he does have a power base not unlike adoptees he said sort of 2 tribes with him and then the rest of it was deals and i would say have to ours quite similar in that fact certainly the russians have tried several times to send agents to contact the son so it was lucky that the and that has not worked in terms of replacing have but that continues to be one of the possible strategies there are commanders in the east teams that have been floated people to. Replace have to but there are no more respected than half are is there are tribal leaders in the east there are sol if this leaders or Even Stronger in terms of his military forces but theres no obvious candidate and i agree strongly that we have to have to what we have not to have that we want and he has into democratic tendencies and the tendency to want to put his own family members in key positions of power and so thats going to continue to work against him but thats true of a lot of leaders in libya opportunely those of the east which is built on a sort of in many respects this tribal structure the only solution is a Civil Democratic one and the only powers that are that are proposing that are the western leaders the very western leaders that used to so angry at along with their own leadership so the only solution as everyones d been saying its going to be you when process in which everyone as you did table i was involved in the preparations for the palermo conference in tunis and met with many livy and leaders that it came to be with us there oust surprised how many living leaders just want the microphone to read these conferences rather than makes face for all their interests and other politicians libyans up and say that you know everybody living in is a little gadhafi and so a lot of this is just a learning curve to get into democratic outcomes and its its a long slow slog. Some libyans are had others in that process certainly have started is not one of those leaders ready to accept such build no doubt but however after hours at least on the back foot but tripoli is no more stable than other parts of libya if it is a host of militias in that saroj has to keep happy how can turkey help maintain the stability in tripoli when there are so many different militias involved in in the city that there are you know a lot of different groups different militias and it is itself the challenge of governing the capital in any given area but what we what we experienced after turkey intervened militarily we saw a command a single strategy coming out of a single chain of command so Turkish Military is role in tripoli has been has been through move through as well as the stuff officers of the armed forces and they proved to be quite competent of lets say commanding there is there in different militias in the in the same direction you know throughout throughout the operation taken over what they see taken over the Southern Suburbs so i think you know turkish Turkish Military presence that proved to be proved to be efficient in terms of merging all those differences. For the for the say in a move getting rid of pop stars and russian and i think this this experience should be or could be replicated in civilian and in the streets of you know areas as well turkey turkey in my. Awful if its at was really it was a role in terms of you know public at the station even state building. You know took you to turkey. Has some of the. You know in terms of in terms of providing the d. N. A. Of those you know capacities one saw when we last spoke about this a few weeks ago i see youre shaking your head there you said then libyans are tired and half dollar is the only alternative to secure peace they cant rely on the militias but were stuck with the militias it seems. Unfortunately i mean this is this is this is where libya is we cant rely on the militias and im sorry im i really am sorry that this is this image of this magnanimous turkey helping that what is going to be doing in libya and all of that got to stay the libya and talking were talking about is the talking about if im not going to get it is it bad that the dictator and i dont see the end of them as well to what i said we dont want to see the militias in tripoli either i because of the might my personal feeling this oh never ever except if you of course never accept this from oregon or from the militia that he supports and.
