Ok weve just been watching that announcement a press conference from the u. N. We started with listening to the u. N. Envoy Stephanie Williams he reiterated that the u. N. Stands with the people of libya and said that this is an historic agreement this is of course this permanent ceasefire that has been signs between the forces of the for have and the government of National Accord that is the u. N. The internationally backed governments Stephanie Williams said that she hopes this will do a great deal to end the suffering of the people of libya and said she hopes that people will not be able to return to their homes and praise to both parsis saying that their patriotism was the way forward and the you were able to reach a cease fire because of that patriotism we also heard from representatives from both the government of National Courts and from the armed forces allied with warlord who if i have to lets get more now from mahmoud. He joins us as ever from tripoli mahmoud this is of course of historic agreement that has been signed between the 2 parties how much of a game changer do you think this is and what were the main takeaways from you listening to that press conference coming to us from geneva. Will apparently this is just to the end of a long way. For its as you know that there have been civil rounds of talks including the 5 plus 5 military committee representing both rival factions the fact that a cease fire agreement is signed by both rival factions is also put attaining many other factors on the ground including whether or not this seize fire agreement will be m. Pullin minted on the ground given the fact that we witnessed before the times in several occasions ceasefire agreement was declared by both rival factions but it has been violated on the ground by both rival factions and also this also pertains to the. Foreign fighters foreign fighters fighting on the ground the med series as you know that the government of National Accord has been accusing have put his forces of recruiting russian made from the most freeze sending green enforcements to the front lines and also there is another point to is pertaining to this situation to the day t. Knees are on both sides that have been efforts by the councils on both sides to exchange detainees but this has not been implemented on the ground yet this coincides with other political talks also in switzerland in their luzon. Under the auspices of the United Nations again together all the factions present all segments of the Libyan Society to come to a consensus regarding to choosing a new executive authority to around the country. A transitional period of 18 months to be followed by parliamentary and president ial elections to be based on constitutional base this is also all these meetings all these conclusions all these recommendations have to be submitted at the final meeting due to be held in tunisia in the upcoming good month of november to choose the actual executive authority that will run the country for 18 months before the president ial and parliamentary elections now here in tripoli and there have been also efforts to. Push on the same day erection specially to bridge the gap between the 2 camps here in tripoli the vision has been resumed between the east and the west after it was hold for over a year since the health of us forces launch of the military campaign in tripoli of the asian between the east and the west was halted today the 1st flight was directed from may to get airport in tripoli to be an airport in apparently there have been civil efforts. Pushing on the same direction but the question remains now whether or not this this cease fire agreement will be implemented on the ground whether the surge it an hour job for area thats the area which is witnessing the tension between the rival or the conflict of the warring factions whether or not this area will be demilitarized will be a buffer zone to be like. To be set as a separation between the 2 warring factions while the foreign fighters leave the country these questions or the main until we see a change actually change on the ground or her well as we wait for the for the ink to dry on that agreement said. And see whether or not so it will be implemented on the grounds. Many other considerations. But what about oil because lets not forget libya is a very energy rich nation theres a lot of oil in libya which a lot of people have their eyes on do you think that has been some kind of factor when it comes to. Coming up with this this agreement the cease fire agreements a more ruble oil play moving forwards. Well despite the fact that oil is a crucial factor in this whole conflict as you know that oil has been at the heart of every conflict in libya since. The fall of the get a few regime into an 11 but this agreement does not seem to be including the oil sector it includes the. Secession of the state it is on the ground des militarization of the area of the senate and a job for stopping all military operations in all libyan territory but the oil sector remains uncertain in this conflict especially with the fact that most of the oil industry lesions remain under the control of forces loyal to the warlord 24 have to oil itself is not fully iran by libyan institutions as you know that have been long Term Contracts signed by the National Oil Corporation this is the state oil firm and Foreign Companies foreign partners but recently have those forces have been trying to lift the blockade on the oil minister nations but yet the normal production limit has not been brought back to normal yet because as you know that the resumption of Oil Production it takes a lot of effort a lot of time and also a lot of money because it needs sophisticated Maintenance Operations so the oil is to asians most of them are located in central libya close to the area which is witnessing that tension now its at the analogy for the oil area so again the question also remains whether or not they have the forces will pull our from all the Oil Installations so that the Oil Production can get back to know. We also heard that after that signing ceremony there in geneva certainly the u. N. Envoy Stephanie Williams was very keen to highlight the plight of the libyan people who have been living with this continued. Tension this continued chaos you could argue for many years she expressed so who that the people of libya would finally be able to return to their homes mahmoud here in tripoli youve been in libya for some time they give us a sense of what the situation is like for everyday libyans whove had to live with this these warring sides continually trying to game the upper hand i mean how theyre caught in the middle of all of this. Well definitely civilians citizens have been paying the heaviest to prize in all these rounds of conflict since 2011 and all the International Mediators including the u n and wise to libya over the past several years have been a stressing on the fact that the ultimate goal of all the previous talks is to alleviate the suffering of civilians as you know that. There have been hundreds of thousands of displaced people due to the multiple conflicts in several areas across the country many civilians lost their lives many have been a wanted by the frequent wars here in tripoli that have been hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Eastern Libya due to the military operations but have to his forces in the east over the past 5 years since have those forces launched the military campaign known as Operation Dignity back in 2014 also civilians have been suffering because of the blockade are the block the darwin between regions as you know that people from the east and west could not travel easily because of the conflict only today the 1st the flight from m 80 gear put in tripoli. To bimini airport in but of r. C. In the east and by now people civilians if it can to some extent travel can have can have it can have a free access to the regions especially the east and the west so again. But here have been suffering a lot because of the deterioration of the Living Conditions including the lack of basic services multiple frequent to power cuts blackout in many areas many people we know for certain here in tripoli we witnessed hospitals reporting get many death as of cases because of the lack of power the power cuts many people are stranded in the streets because their houses were demolished were destroyed by the fighting many people could not afford to buy medicine or could not afford to have medical treatment because of the lack of cash and banks the lack of cash is due to the lack of oil revenues the intervening years have been stopped because at the oil was blockaded by the forces when the Oil Installations remained blockaded by half the us forces for years the conflict in Eastern Libya also over the past years caused the libyan treasury over 150000000000. 00 since 2013 because of the frequent conflicts in Eastern Libya. So what i heard bringing us the latest reaction there live from tripoli on the day that a cease fire has been signed between the sea or in parts is thank you very much indeed mahmouds lets get more now from Charlotte Bell as she reports now on the years of conflicts in libya and how we reached this ceasefire signing agreements in switzerlands.
