Will begin to find a path towards ending years of civil conflicts International Diplomatic efforts to end the fighting have stepped up in recent weeks a truce brokered by turkey and russia came into force on sunday morning and libya has been torn apart by conflict since long time ruler Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown in 20 levon its divided between militia groups which mostly back to rival governments the u. N. Recognize administration led by Prime Minister fires. Suraj is based in tripoli its supported by turkey and most western nations including italy which is worried the fighting near tripoli will force more people to cross the mediterranean in the east there is the 2 brook based government the center of power for warlords honey for half time his backed by egypt saudi arabia russia and the United Arab Emirates france is also accused of providing military support to his forces service and is monitoring the talks in moscow she says and have time or are expected to meet in the coming hours as confirmed by the ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman on facebook both have to answer are actually inside the ministry right now there is a meeting going on already between the ministers of Foreign Affairs and defense of both russia and turkey and she rode that eventually those 2 leaders that libya will be attending this meeting were still waiting to hear from that at the meeting were expecting negotiations about a ceasefire which was brokered between russia and turkey in istanbul last week and they hope to have a signature under this cease fire at the end of these stocks its also said that the witnesses from the United Arab Emirates and from egypt will be attending this meeting as well so its very interesting that turkey and russia are now brokering this this peace deal in libya and also interesting to see how fyrst to put it has become one of the main peace brokers here in this libyan conflict after also being a main peace broker in syria and jamaat and child is in turkeys capital and ankara he explains turkeys interests in libyas conflict. The way things have unfolded over the past year especially with the confort becoming a lot more militarized by the presence of different militia as well as weapons being prodded in from france russia and other countries the United Arab Emirates and so forth are meant that those who see their National Security and their Foreign Policy interests are aligned with some sort of stability or a specific outcome in libya have been forced to be a lot more active another forefront of that has been turkey turkey sees that with libya that it enjoys a maritime border that sees that there is a lot of interest there not just in terms of security in establishing security there but also in terms of National Resources and exploration for Natural Resources in the Mediterranean Sea and thats why weve had those agreements signed between un career and tripoli over the past couple of months not just with regards to mutual defense but also with regards to that peroration of oil and gas extraction from the sea but circles also interested in interested ensuring that there is some sort of pluralism within the political discourse that continues to evolve in the middle east turkey is working at this from many different angles economic geo political. And from security perspectives as well sami hamdi is the editor in chief of the International Interest a Current Affairs magazine which focuses on the middle easts he expects the talks in moscow to be a success. This was precisely what russia wanted with its involvement in libya it wanted to show power it wanted to show that it can be a viable viable power broker it wanted to repeat the syria process in libya whereby it were not to lies is the syria talks in a stand and now it wants to monopolize this the libyan talks with turkey in moscow whether we will see genuine traction with regards to these talks i think this time yes we will i think that have there will be hard pressed to listen to the russians you will he will have to listen to what the russians a say to him because they are the power that allowed him to make all those gains within tripoli we have to remember that for 8 months despite u. A. E. Saudi arabia egypt and france back after he was struggling to get into tripoli it was only when the vegan a group when russia allowed its mercenaries to help him that he actually made though those advances for several hours he has to listen to the talks because he has no allies left except turkey he went to brussels a few days ago to speak to the e. U. Leaders hoping that they would be able to host a go she is hoping they would empathize with him but all they were focused on was the deals that you made with turkey essentially came back from brussels a very disappointed so now you know it already has turkey turkey is going to push him to make sure these negotiations succeed and russia will push after to make sure these negotiations succeed and i think these will be far more fruitful negotiations than any to go that have taken place before in europe in other world news even more protests in iran after the government admitted its military mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian Airline and last week killing 176 people demonstrators have been defying a heavy Police Presence in the capital tehran offices have been using tear gas but the chief of police is urging them to do is restore aint it also been ronnies against a u.

For nearly 5 years it has worked as a news writer she says its more than a job for her seeing her work printed in the morning papers in order to give her a sense of accomplishment a sense she says was taken away a week ago when sudans Transitional Government seized the paper she worked for wasnt even that. I was working on a news piece when i heard that a decision was made to shut down some Media Outlets including the one i worked for a military uniform came in and said we had 30 minutes to take our personal belongings and leave this is something we were used to under the former regime but one of the slogans of the new government was freedom grows to freedom inviting us from working.

Were not targeting the major outlets because of the editorial lines flow used to say based on the law to dismantle assets of the former ruling party return the state funds that they have used to prop them up weve got that information to play that have been funded or have received funds from the former regime.

Some say the government should do more to prove its case before taking such actions. This is a decision was based on a decree to dissolve the ruling party but even using that to hold the work of 2 newspapers and t. V. Stations is room for this to be taken as a crackdown on press freedom the body that issued the decision said that the owners of the media out as to receive funds from the Sudanese Government but they didnt give any evidence musharraf says she was told her income want to be affected but she wants to know why shes paying the price of a political move that has prevented her and her colleagues from doing their jobs he will morgan aljazeera hearts on.
