You know i will not stop them i will make god take revenge on each of those who caused this what have we done to deserve this what have we done i plead to god to do see god to punish them for displacing us because using all of this to humiliating us for gods sake we are being cleared to live well Government Forces have now set their eyes on the rebel held city of mara oh no woman many residents have already abandoned the city which has been under attack now for weeks almost as though joins us from un talking about so on the turkey border with syria and a desperate situation for these people who went to seek safety and now theyre being forced to flee again how many people are on the move and where can they go.

They were rescue workers sitting on us who has a saying up to 216000 people have been displaced from the province most of them making their way to which the takesh border weve seen pictures all for a long cold voice of trucks and vehicles and the key to the bubble how crossing many of them. Women and children they had their belongings some of them just through lead with the cloths on their bach the calm starts out on by turkish child it is food to the brim and they cannot be accommodated their tech is not allowing any of that if it is to cause its border which means they are cornered in the north and part of setting up camp in the open we saw some.

Well it would be a huge gain for the Syrian Regime forces and they have their eyes set on it and are inching ever closer to the town in the past 48 hours all seoul they have managed to take up to 40 small towns and villages around. And according to some reports about 4 or 5 kilometers away from the strategic city it is one of the major up and centers its also sits on the m 5 highway which links the muskets the cup with all to aleppo syrias biggest city and assads regime is very much intent on ensuring that this road that is closed at the moment is that we all tend to ensure that transport and trade between these 2 major cities is unhindered so it is a huge gain for them in that sense and also. Because the whole operation is about regaining the entire tended to be that syria is from an available who are holding and a part of it mohammed and so they are joining us live from with the very latest mohammed. Targus president has discussed ways of establishing a cease fire in libya with his chin is in kandahar ridge of tire bardon is in tunis holding call for president criseyde already one says he believes china zia wants to promote stability in neighboring libya earlier turkey an estimate deployed troops in support of libyas un recognized government which has been facing a month long offensive by a warlord holy for have ties forces. You know 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 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 moods are based on legality and lawful forms however the other foreign troops have no legality to be present on libyan soil in addition have to are is not a legitimate representative of the libyan people well live. Head whos in tripoli and what exactly is being discussed. Will 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 the divine 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 also he wondered a divan wondered. What the russian mercenaries along with 5000 most are is from sudan what theyre doing in libya they are fighting for the warlord honey for hefted he wondered out of those parties are supporting 2. A party in libya which is marked. By the United Nations which is illegal then turkey should deal with the legal order that it could now used party which is the government of National Accord also. Confirm that there are certain parties including including regional and neighboring countries including tunisia algeria and qatar that should be. Involved in the talks to put a cease fire employees as he said that those countries are effective in achieving any peace talks in libya mark with their joining us live from tripoli mark with thank you all for more on this lets speak to some may have the in london hes the editor of International Interest the Current Affairs magazine with a focus on the middle east and north africa some a very warm welcome to the program whats the significance of these discussions that we see happening right now. I think thats remember the conflict these are discussions are taking place at such dedication went yesterday to russia to discuss it live and that there were talks that they discussed the libya as well russia has implied that its ready to entertain the prospect of mediation secular and 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 that we should assume that the libyan parties wont agree to go to moscow for talks because they believe moscow is backing how stuff and the parties that back house but it wont go to an qatar or turkey to discuss talks june is 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 say it last week shows an intention to invite the libyan parties to discussion so when we put all of these dynamics together it may well be that ever 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 also there is another angle to it which is with regards to tunisia trying to form a government that is a mystery. Allies are struggling to form a government we know that the foreign minister was with ed again during his visit as well it may well be that ever again try to walk as theyve been told and listen if you dont get involved and help this government to be for the parliament to fight that in between as those you need to be aware that the u. A. E. Are spreading and we know that they are anti Democratic Forces there in egypt they are in libya and the Intelligence Security chief was there as well who may have actually had the mismanaged eisai to do this so i think this the president comes within this particular context and we may well be heading towards mediation and sammy i suppose given the Current Situation on the ground in the complexity some of what she then our correspondent already covered how how do we lets take a cease fire attempt right now and one that would actually hold. It depends whether the turks actually sent troops to tripoli and whether russia actually would draw support for after they are now the 2 key dynamics that will determine whether a mediation takes place because have to believe that International Apathy towards what hes doing in libya backing from france paralyze the e. U. The u. A. E. Giving him or the weapons you know egypt giving him logistics he believes that the wind is telling him were willing to accept a military victory provided you can clean up tripoli quickly and this is why i have that is attacking tripoli but if he finds that this war with this battle which has already taken 8 months is becoming protracted and now turkey sending troops and now theres all this fuss in the mediterranean it may well be that the International Community comes in and says look after you had 8 months to take tripoli trouble say look i turned a blind eye to it i called you an ally in terrorism you couldnt take tripoli were very sorry about this but its not time now to go to mediation its about how long the d. N. A. Can last how long the power is in tripoli last before the russians got involved it was a stalemate after the russians got dont want half the big game now with turkey coming back in it will go back to a stalemate but now the cards are in turkeys hands but turkey of course is it doesnt want to upset the russians too much it doesnt want to upset the u. S. Too much but also the russians not want to upset the turks so it was always very weird complex dynamics taking place it but i believe that if turkey does send troops to tripoli then we are heading towards mediation if turkey abandon strictly that have there is likely to secure a military victory were looking now at what will turkey do that will define where the mediation. Samhain do their joining me from london as always sammy. 2 days of National Mourning have been declared in burkina faso after at least 35. 00 civilians were shot dead during an attack in the north and according to the government 80 armed men have also been killed a warning though some viewers may find the following images disturbing the attack was aimed at an army base in our been in a nearby time violence has increased after the militia began an offensive against armed groups in november theres been no claim of responsibility so far.

Iraqs largest parliamentary block is nominated its choice for the countrys next Prime Minister said he has been governor of the oil rich province of basra since 2017 the nomination though is likely to few more government more Anti Government protests lets go live to baghdad where dosage of a is standing by dorset an appointment thats been a Long Time Coming so tell us more about. This nomination satisfy protesters. Well this man is a well known figure he comes from one of the largest tribes in faster province but hes not very popular with the residents in that province and thats because theres been a lot of accusations about corruption during his time as the governor in what is known as the one of the richest provinces in this country is believed to have 70 percent of iraqs oil reserves but the people that live there dont have basic necessities such as Running Water or electricity most of the time this is something thats caused a lot of tension in that province and theres been demonstrations over the past year this name thats come up now is been put forth by all of the no coalition within the parliament and it is believed to be something that many of the parties have accepted as somebody that is in the president s office and he told me that the believe the president will make an official announcement of this nomination within the next 24 hours or just right now sorting out the details of how this will all work once he has been confirmed by the president as the candidate he will then have 30 days to form a government but weve already been hearing criticism from various different factions with in iraq including the demonstrators who have been fighting for their right to be able to pick their own Prime Minister right now the country is in a system that does that goes through the Parliament Parliamentary system and they really want is a private president ial one and they believe that the protests that they started since the beginning of october has had some just that so far because on tuesday evening the Iraqi Parliament passed a new sweeping electoral laws so the candidates can now run independently of the various parties the protesters that weve been speaking to here in Tahrir Square say say that they will not be satisfied with any need that comes from the president regardless of who really is because they want somebody who is outside the political spectrum who is away from the politics of this country and does not have any affiliations with any pull of my party so its not likely that this nomination goes down very well with the demonstrators here.
