A lasting deal can be reached. What was interesting also was the fact that for example. The u. N. Envoy on libya. Said that this process the berlin conference was a combination of meetings that had triggered or started off some 9 months ago why is this interesting because throughout that 9 months all weve seen on the ground in libya is actually an escalation of fighting primarily triggered by the side of Khalifa Haftar and thats where maybe the skepticism is coming again from is that there are people who would say that whilst these agreements conferences discussions are taking place be described one in iraq will be its moscow be its here in berlin thats all well and good but theres been very little implementation facts on the ground whats happening is one side has been gaining more and more ground gaining more and more territory getting more and more state institutions on the rates and thats whats making any agreements very unlikely to be achieved least not in the framework of the time
