Is un recognized government which has been facing a months long offensive by warlord relief after his forces. Because. We are not guess without an invitation and if it comes we shall look into it we are in constant communication with them however we should raise an issue the forces president libya more than 5000. 00 troops from sudan what are they doing there we should ask why are these forces present in libya a request was made to turkey and thats why turkey answered the call based on the agreement related to our Economic Zone we have signed agreements to rely on and our movies are based on legality and lawful forms however the other foreign troops have no legality to be present on libyan soil in addition are is not a legitimate representative of the libyan people mahmud up there why it is in tripoli he says to want to pee is keen to get libyas neighbors involved in establishing a cease fire. In this surprise visit by the president of the learn he discussed steps possible steps and corporation with the tunisian president. To solve and to put a cease fire in place in libya we know despite the fact that a deal done has defended the military and Security Cooperation agreement that he signed with libya the last month but meanwhile he seems to be keen to involve libyas effective neighboring countries lake tunisia to take part in peace talks in in libya a different also has criticized the contras that have been denouncing the military agreement with libya saying that turkey has. Dealt with the only. Institution libya which is a government of National Accord that is backed by the United Nations and the International Community somebody who is the editor of International Interest card Affairs Magazine with a focus on the middle east and north africa he says to news you could be backing turkeys role as a mediator to resolve the crisis in libya. I think lets remember the context these discussions are taking place at such dedication went yesterday to russia to discuss it live and that there were talks that they discussed in libya as well russia has implied that its ready to entertain the prospect of mediation decadal actually want to send troops it feels that it doesnt want to be forced to send troops to libya it prefers the idea of mediation if we follow this line of thought then we should assume that the libyan parties wont agree to go to moscow for talks because they believe moscow is backing hausner and the parties that back house that it wont go to unchain or turkey to discuss talks to news it is the perfect middle ground and it is a neighboring country its not backing any of the parties its a Perfect Place for the parties together and indeed i cited last week showed an intention to invite the libyan parties to discussion so when we put all of these dynamics together it may well be that ed again has as has as gotten something from moscow gotten some assurances that they are interested in mediation as well and this is now about setting up this mediation to take place in tunisia.

Well because i was once a pocket of calm in the sahara region but security has deteriorated over the past 5 years the removal of longtime president blaise company aura in october 24th scene created a security vacuum which has been exploited by several groups as well as homegrown fighters groups from bali affiliated with al qaida and us all have crossed the border igniting ethnic and religious tensions the un says more than 700 people have been killed since 2015 and almost half a 1000000 have been displaced. He says armed groups have taken advantage of the political instability in the region. Over the past years weve seen the fallout and the importation of a movement of fighters as well as arms and munitions from the conflict in libya into the sahara into parts of west africa and how these have helped groups in this region to execute their activities or other to push their agenda in this region so in addition also governments in the region have not addressed the key issues that give rights to these local armed groups in the possibly for example the issue of poverty but issue of education employment and of course government presences so many communities so these fighters when they come into these areas they explode the situation allying with them with local communities sometimes they even render humanitarian services to this community and also that is that threat of fear be used against a civilian population if they spy on them or have the Government ForcesMichael Oboyle is visiting senior fellow at the for was set and for africa at the London School of economics he explains why he thinks some african countries have experienced attacks recently. These say government can trees have played a major role in the global war on terror particularly in hosting military bases drug bases facilities for example i havent because its not going to be hosting an act of terror Training Camp so they are clearly got packed negligeable war and terror out and as a result are receiving the backlash for got contribution so it is expected that its National Community will also be supporting and not is not the time for the u. S. For example to draw in to be drawing down on forces or facilities are actually in the other International Community to actually decide not to support asses expected i mean it to us has been holding a few major meetings recently like 4 days ago trying to see how the best the can actually governance forces defeat these these Islamist Forces and those are going to be a meeting in january with a defiant and present macros to try to thrash are some of these things i think what we really need is a coalition of strong effort this truckie dick capability to try and actually step up to defeat the said and seize. Was plenty more ahead on the news hour including another move by indias government has critics fearing borders from the nation against muslims. Should not expect. Just because they cant background skys the limit we hear from a syrian refugee who tells us about her hopes and dreams after fleeing plus in sport the financial threat hanging over english teams in part 2 of our feature death of a Football Club. Iraqs largest parliamentary bloc has nominated assad danny to be the next Prime Minister but despite governing the oil rich province of basra since 2017 this year candid it has been rejected by iraqi protesters who are calling for an independent candidate hes not been a sion comes after Prime Minister marty resigned last month under pressure from antigovernment protests more than 450. 00 people have been killed in demonstrations that have gripped iraq since october calling for a complete overhaul of the political system well solid me is a Legal Advisor to the National Council for iraqi opposition and he joins us on skype from hartford its nice to have you with us now that this nomination has been made is this now a fait accompli do we expect that he would become Prime Minister. Thank you very much for having me 1st of all an army to our home my sincere condolences to the families and not ones of those who lost their lives on the streets of iran during these peaceful protests i think the offering of this. Governor is in fact not only a disgrace but also a challenge to the protesters on the streets of iraq because they have made their demands quite clear that they do not want anybody who was involved individual political process system 1003 to date now we have this gentleman who has been accused by the people of bouncer of themselves of not developing their city of also corruption and of very much leniency towards neighboring iran and all of those make him the most unsuitable candidate for being Prime Minister so i could not i could not see where is their wisdom in offering his name unless it is as i just said a absolute challenge to the will of the protesters and all of the lives that was lost in order to have a real change the political system the rise a couple of questions then it puts the president. In a potentially very difficult position and it also then raises questions about the future of protests weve seen that people have been killed weve seen the crackdown on protesters but if as you say theyre going to reject this nomination what are what is their tactics from here. Well 1st of all i think i am receiving indications that they already have rejected this nomination thats number one number 2 i think we are heading in any of that towards an escalation of these protests said this before we may see an escalation from the level of protest around to a level of revolution where by. Gender where i protest us from all over iraq would gather in baghdad in order to force a change in government or the opera youve got the entire government i certainly hope that all of this will stay peaceful because if it doesnt then we are going to have a catastrophe on our hands however i think what whats whats happening at the moment is as i said a continuous challenging to the realm of the protesters i dont think that the government will succeed in any of it by submitting to the will of the Political Parties within parliament and thats exactly whats happening are you know a government is allowing or the there isnt an ounce of a nomination by Political Parties which is rejected outright part of professors from the start so any nomination that comes from these but it is rejected so i dont see why they are nominating i think they should start listening to the streets they should start this into the demonstrators why nominating somebody who is completely independent somebody who is possibly an academic all of military background was not been involved in any corruption has not been involved in a major office within government as developing the 3 in order for the true these protests to start at least skating down but i dont think that is happening a month. As you say thats not happening at the moment so what this reveals is ongoing tension ongoing protests and almost an existential crisis for the country because what this nomination shows is that the sectarian nature of politics is so deeply embedded and that is the very thing that the protesters want to see removed. You are absolutely correct that i think one of the very 1st things that the protesters rejected openly particularly to her square the gracious square backed up was the rejection of any sectarianism yet we see the Political Parties are holding on to the sectarian agenda and therefore i think they are proving if anything that the protest those were right that nothing could come of this got nothing good could come of this political process and therefore we need an entire change anytime approving of the entire system are they going to change anytime will the government change anytime soon i do not think so because all of the indications prove otherwise and i think one should mention that the recent introduction or the recent letter to reform of the electoral law as a tour of law is a case in point i think the the the preambles of what happened and then degree for the allegedly reforms that we heard about later on after it was voted of all are completely disappointing and therefore i dont see anything good coming out of this that it will process entirely and as it just said they are proving the protest as absolute wrong with whatever action they take and so the same is been a pleasure to have you on the program sir thank you again thank you. Indias government has approved funding for an updated National Population register which opponents. It follows a new citizenship law thats led to huge protests across the country it was before. More demonstrations against the controversy a place already in the capital new. Year and to protest the protests have been spit on by the government approving funding for this National Population register the government says that is just part of the president s National Population just over form the face of. The National Register of. The country protesting against. That. Act. And i hear at this rally. Now that there are protests against the citizenship act and the National Register of citizens the government is using a back door in the form of the National Population re just we know the economy is ravaged by destroyed the economy with the monetized a hiding that. And a lying about it to the people. But that he made. No protest at all over the country why the. 500000000. 00 on a population just when the economy is the worst state in 6 years to stay. On the register 10 states. Citizenship carry out the National Register. For the government getting some pushback from the country and. Disapprove. Of it just. To continue until the Supreme Court. Want to show you again convention on that monday. Well earlier we spoke to Supreme Court lawyer karuna nandi who is in the indian state of goa she explains what impact the mix of law and proposed policy will have on citizens the idea behind the National Register citizens is to sort of identify and legends on the people who are seeking to demonstrate. What it does in the us it is not the problem with this is that in a country that is very very short of documentation and also somewhat short of interest this is a disastrous law because what happens is that you get the point that the electorate you get much lazed you get tribals left out thats the 2nd problem is that of course there is a well discrimination against muslims in those just shipment so theres something of a track for those who can demonstrate that. The us citizens and i think a new christian indeed any other religion but if youre muslim then you can then. Be recognized and amenable because thats the only reason left out you see weve also seen in an arson process instead of a sandwich to it so far that has been used as. Against muslims as well in that process although a lot and also and thats really what theyre going to be all sorts of. What do you think the damage of perhaps that is us.
