Food security at risk. So that libyas warring sides and World Leaders have agreed to help secure a fragile truce in the hope it will develop into a full ceasefire at a summit in germany they also committed to ending all foreign meddling in the conflict and to uphold a weapon zimbabwe. Has more now from berlin. It was the most important gathering to an conflict in many years but from the start german chancellor Angela Merkel was struggling to narrow differences between libyas rivals Prime Minister of the typically based government of National Accord phases with used to sit down with warlords. Leaving merkel shuttling back and forth. To convince beige powers to help secure a permanent cease fire and stop the flow of arms into the war torn country. Not only in their. Everyone with in agreement including the regional organizations the arab league a un of course the African Union that we need a political solution its become evident in the last few weeks that there is no chance for a military solution which could only increase the suffering of the libyan people the un chief said the new diplomatic gains made so far boost the chances for a new political process and led by the libyans weirds all the parties to engage in a leave you no longer dialogue and the auspices of the United Nations paving the way for a political solution to the crisis despite the consensus among the participants of the conference there remains huge disagreements for us president manuel mcraney called for an immediate and to foreign intervention powers has recently expressed concerns over turkey is growing influence but for president of us of. Turkeys role is crucial to and violence and prevent her from capturing tripoli. We have been trying on a number of occasions to have a cease fire agreement signed the National Government of accord signed a cease fire agreement yes it wasnt signed by the other party led by hostile if we fail to have a cease fire in place and if we fail to have an agreement signed we will never see how fatahs hostilities coming to an end russia is also expanding its influence in libya but appears to be willing to team up with turkey to ensure the cease fire holds even though both countries support opposite sides of the conflict. Because. We think both the parties were coming to moscow as they both had heeded our call. As in they had both responded to our demands of a ceasefire now we are in berlin we hope for more success in this particular crisis. The us world has significantly diminished in the oil rich country the e. U. Is divided the friends support half the while the italians back. There were hopes the berlin conference will bring all the parties that can and the conflict button is here was shunned from the peace talks after receiving an invitation last minute morocco which hosted the 2015 peace talks and qatar a key supporter of the d. N. A. Were also excluded the bullying conference was essentially about political dialogue libyan rival groups will meet in geneva in the coming weeks to see if they can form a new government or risk turning their country into a permanent playground for foreign intervention has. Been well lets hear now from whos in tripoli and he says the security situation remains fragile and theres some skepticism that a lasting deal can be reached. So for a child or in this ceasefire but it seems that whats going on in berlin is in another. I mean its going on on the another pass because there are so many hardliners here on both sides who do not want to stop the fighting in fact the people here many people here believe that the believe in talks are meant to bridge the gap between the countrys involvement in libya or not between the libyan arrivals and now here for example the west of the camp led by the recognize the Prime Minister face of raj they say that they come out trust have to and he cannot make peace with have to camp unless he is tried for what they call the war crimes that have been committed by his forces since april the 4th since the launch of the military campaign. There have been so many question marks they have been addressing these the military the military camp on the ground because many military leaders on the ground they say that they come out hand over their weapons and they cannot stop fighting until i have to the forces pushed out of southern the tripoli meanwhile on the east of the country. Military brigade support to get the world for have that and they have taken control of the oil terminal as they say that they cannot accept any foreign intervention in libya they mean the Turkish Military assistance to the government of national called. Well the conference in berlin was also overshadowed by a blockade of libyas Major Oil Fields by hilly for have to forces which is threatening to production in recent months libya has been producing 1200000. 00 Barrels Per Day as the countrys largest export oil as a financial lifeline for the un recognized government in tripoli have to shut down for pipelines forcing the closure of 2 the countrys Largest Oil Field closures will slash libyas up by more than 90 percent to just 72000. 00 barrels a day or less pay now to William Lawrence who is a visiting professor of Political Science at George Washington universitys school of International Affairs joins us now from washington d. C. Mr lawrence welcome to the program youve seen the draft communicate is it a starting point for peace do you think absolutely its sort of a list of principles a list of intents and some interesting ideas. I think the main thing is it remains to be seen what type of International Political muscle will go behind the agreement so far we have these we have a kind of consensus on principle and the International Community but when it comes to actions on the ground each side just say you know each of the International Players supports one side or the other for the most part and they dont really do much to respect what their side needs to do to respect these International Principles right interesting ideas is one thing isnt it but the end is barely dry and part of the conflict or clash in southern tripoli taking out 5 Oil Terminals its all a bit redundant if thats going on isnt it. Yeah i mean i think the 2 can be a little bit separated weve weve had a failed ceasefire for 2 weeks now and a truce that never came to fruition in moscow and the talks in berlin were not living at peace talks in fact this the libyan parties were there but didnt speak to each other and and this was not going to be about their negotiation it was about International Pressure and consensus on libya Going Forward but its very significant because i think berlin precipitated these actions on the ground in libya each sides trying to jockey for position and now we have have to are cutting off up to 90 percent of the of the production although i think those numbers might be a little bit off because theres about 10 percent of libyas Oil Production is offshore and that wont be affected by this its a pretty important cog in have. This ability to short of oil supplies how fundamental is the states is over oil to the crisis. Its very very fundamental in you know since 2011 and since the 2nd civil war in 2015 weve had. Libyans fighting over access to resources more than anything else control of airports seaports borders and oil and now it seems that the conflict is more and more just over oil so that the thing theyre fighting over on the day of the brilliant peace conference is control of the oil which the International Community wants to keep flowing for a number of reasons but i have to kind of shooting himself in the foot because he has not been able to sell oil internationally he smuggled a little bit out but not that much and the americans who are quite withdrawn in many ways from many aspects of whats going to libya have proven on 2 occasions theyre willing to intervene militarily to stop oil sales by the east so by blocking oil sales and trying to stop oil sales as a way to gain ground i dont think have to is really playing a winning card here. Talk of this conference leader who said you know the off describe a road map towards peace where does that road map actually lead in this case so are we really likely to get to a point where there is a government of national unity. Well theres about 48 paragraphs here and its going a bunch of Different Directions but the main thing they want is they want to ceasefire they want to strengthen arms embargo and they want to rejuvenated political process but i dont think any of those are going to happen anytime real soon i mean we might get to another cease fire but i think 2 of the things that were very interesting in the communique and havent been covered much in the press is that theyre going to form a monthly meeting of all of these players that were in berlin to enforce it which is interesting and sort of takes things out of the hands of just the un uns mail but actually forces all these countries to take a look each month at a hard way about what theyre doing to enforce it and theyre supposed to be meeting in geneva in the coming weeks between 5 military commanders from each side now in your set up piece you said that might have something to with the political deal but i think more importantly if we get the military Community Together that might get us a step closer to a cease fire right where the president certainly needs all the help it can get when he learns appreciate that thanks very much indeed.
