Turkeys president s version of tell you how to do the learned in 2 news to discuss trouble is brewing in next door in libya and encourage it to nieces new president to help secure a ceasefire. The internationally recognized a government in tripoli has yet to request that turkish troops intervene in the conflict. Because. We are not guests 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 moves are based on legality and lawful forms however the other foreign troops have no legality to be present on libyan soil in addition huffed are is not a legitimate representative of the libyan People Forces loyal to the world lordly for hefted are bringing the fighting closer to the capital if turkey sends its a troops and with russia backing to have to his forces the next few weeks could prove crucial for libya they are now the 2 key dynamics that will determine whether a mediation takes place because have to believe that International Apathy towards what is doing in libya becky from france paralyze the e. U. The u. A. E. Giving him the weapons giving him not just he believes that the want is telling him were willing to accept a military victory provided you can clean up tripoli quickly and this is why how it is attacking tripoli but if you find this war with this battle which is not. 8 months is becoming protracted and now turkey sending troops and now theres all this cost in the military and it may well be the internationally comes in and says look after you had 8 months to really couples say look i turned a blind eye to it i called you an ally in terrorism you couldnt picture really were very sorry about this but its not time now to go to mediation its about how long the d. N. A. Can ask beyond turkey and russia the conflict has a growing number of International Backers playing a rule both in fighting and if its towards mediation turkeys recent military cooperation with libya if you and that the government has been criticized by some read you know any of the National Polls but president of the turkey deals with libyas legitimate government while the other countries backing her 3rd of dealing with illegitimate institutions would have. To put him. Back in a fast so is declared 2 days of National Mourning after an attack that killed at least 35. 00 people in just a warning that some of the images might be disturbing to some viewers here the attack was launched on an army base in our bender and a nearby town on tuesday the government says 80 of the attackers were killed as the army repelled the attack the violence has increased after the military began an offensive against armed groups in november its been no claim of responsibility so far im going to address is an abuse of force and he says that armed groups have taken advantage of the 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 armed 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 groups in the possibilities for example the issue of poverty the issue of education employment and of course government presences so many communities so these fighters would be come into these areas they explode the situation alive with them with local communities sometimes they even render humanitarian services to those communities and also that is the threat of fear being used to give the civilian population if they spy on them or have the Government Forces. Will protest as in iraq of rejected the nomination of assad donny as the countrys next Prime Minister hes been the governor of iraqs richest province busser for the past 2 years but despite its oil wealth buster has poor infrastructure danny has been accused of not doing enough to improve the situation that arafat is his nomination was influenced by iran because his name was before by one of the biggest iranian backed groups in iraq a politics and the nomination follows 3 months of violent nationwide protests in the country that eventually saw the resignation of the former Prime Minister idle up till matty in late november so manifold one is in baghdad and explains why its taken so long to nominate a candidate. Well i thought i was done he has now officially been nominated by the iranian backed coalition which was declared the largest bloc in parliament weve seen many names floated throughout the past weeks but this was the 1st time that representatives of the pienaar coalition actually met with president by ham salad to officially hand over the nomination now much of the delay that weve seen throughout the past weeks has been because it was not exactly clear who is the largest bloc in Parliament President barham salih had sent requests for clarification to the iraqi speaker of parliament who dont confirm that it is indeed been done now in terms of the options Going Forward for the president he cannot challenge the speaker of the parliament on which dr is supposed to be nominating but what he can do is actually reject the candidate that be not has put forward on the grounds that this may not be a can but this that is acceptable to the street and this may not be acceptable to the other Political Parties because lets remember that the Prime Minister has to be a consensus candidate that is accepted by all of the parties and as of now were still waiting to hear their reaction especially from side on which is the bloc that is led by shia cleric looked at us either. Indias government has announced new guidelines and approved funds for an updated National Population register that critics fear could be used to further discriminate against muslims the survey was introduced in 2010 but for the 1st time people will be asked to share information about the date and place of birth of their parents theyll also be asked to give details of identity documents like vosa cards driving licenses and pos boards the government has approved more than 500000000. 00 in funding for this exercise. Meanwhile several artists including acclaimed writer out inducted roy have joined protests in new delhi against the controversial citizenship legislation grants citizenship to religious minorities but muslims are excluded from the measure since it was passed at least 25 people have been killed in protests with opponents saying its a violation of indias secular constitution. Elizabeth purana spoke to roy at that demonstration and asked why shes hopeful about the protest movement. This movement intellectually understands and emotionally and passionately understands the horror of this hindu to a program that the more the b. G. P. R. S. S. Has been selling for the last so many years and of course in power since 2014 so they only have this as the one answer to every problem economic social education whatever it is the idea is to write their ideas to ratchet up the hatred you know and suddenly young people are just saying sorry but were not buying this you know and thats why im hopeful and do you think that the protests that were seeing by young people by many many people across the country will make a difference because even as those protests happened the government passed funding for this National Population register which many people see as a precursor to the National Register of citizens know its it is a precursor its the database you know so. They are going to go through with whatever they can go through with you know theyre going to go through with every bit of their agenda so just a few years ago they were in power in so many states separate states you know in india now they just hold power and i think 3 or 4 and 10 chief ministers have already said that they will not allow the National Register citizenship they have not said that they will not allow the n. P. R. Which is the softer entry to the us i think people still have to understand that thats a very dangerous thing but i do think that theres a chance if there was a chance here is the chance to stop them.
