Libyas un recognized government says its capturing more tonnes as its driving fighters loyal to war locally for huffed out of western libya the governments announced an offensive to recapture the city. Of sirte thats the hometown of former libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and a half dollars stronghold the move comes hours after Government Troops took control of the town of bani walid ottos forces had lost control of the city of tal on friday it was the launch pad for the 14 month failed offensive to capture tripoli but fighters loyal to the warlords continue to command large areas of the oil rich east and south libya correspondent mahmud ill go ahead has more from tripoli hes joining us now lets talk about the situation with search 1st whats happening there. The government of National Accord forces have Just Announced that they launched a new offensive to recapture the strategic city of sirte it. Started from the green about 100 kilometers west of said if thats what the Government Forces are a position there and also were getting reports from. The government to air force targeted there a number of United Arab Emirates supplied dip military vehicles for half that his forces need and wish between senate and blue green on the military move on the city of city. After. Talks peaceful talks almost failed to hand over the city peacefully the government sources in misrata say that they tried to talk to the Elderly Council and their tribal leaders in the city of suited to avoid any more bloodshed by trying to convince them to hand over the city without any military confrontation and also to ask her to the forces to leave the city other way the government is launching get this incursion into the city to the captured it the city of cities has been so problematic as you know since to him since the fall of a man wanted to get death it was the birth of place of a man with a good death the end it has been always affiliated to the former regime. As you know its based on a tribal system and they have shifted allegiance since 2011 several times between. Get their feet and the warlords. Have that as you know. But the Government Forces have been sending reinforcements in there to green to move on the city of city and also that includes heavy weapons and drones marco and this is of course all happening while were getting reports the general who for hafter is said to be in egypt now what more do we know about the. Well were getting reports from cato is suggesting that the talks between have to and seize on also. The church and this this the speaker of the parliament which is allied with the world have to the talks will start so on. Hit in the west of libya. They do not rely on these talks as you know. The government to camp does not trust egypt specially given the fact that the egyptian regime. Has been a major supporter of the world honey for have to in fact the government of National Accord accuses him of violating the United NationsSecurity Council arms embargo imposed on libya since 2011 by supplying good civil types of weapons including heavy weapons and ammunition to the warlords have to the egyptian border. And to libyan borders. Dejection is not trusted by the government of National Court in fact the military commanders of the government here on the ground when we speak to them and front lines they say that they cannot accept any peace deal that has egypt as a mediator to end the conflict in libya so the government of russia called here as you know that it has a previous experience with the egyptian regime especially when the egyptian regime tried to haast the Libyan Military meetings in qaeda over the past 3 years in an attempt to. Night what it calls the Libyan Military as you know that all these meetings failed because the government accused him of taking half the size of being biased. The warlords have. But meanwhile egyptian remains. Defocused country accused by the government of National Accord to support the warlords have to and also in fact to send troops when we spoke to military commanders. When they were fighting in southern chipley they tell us that they saw egyptian soldiers fighting alongside have to his forces and military axes and southern tripoli in fact the government of national called has in its cost to the egyptian soldiers taken captives by its forces in southern shipping as mahmud giving us that update on the situation in libya from tripoli i want to bring in claudia good seanie is shes a senior libya analyst at the International Crisis group shes joining us now from rome thank you very much indeed for being with us lets talk about this meeting that is apparently going on in egypt at the moment given the fact that the government of National Accord forces seem to have made so many gains so quickly over the last couple of days how significant is it that is actually in cairo at this point. Well what egypt is trying to do is to ensure that the Eastern Coalition so half are on one side as representative of the Libyan National army and the lesson of the head of the president but they join ranks and appear as a united block so egypt is trying to show that the riffs that over the past few weeks have been rumored of being fuel in between and he who has a more pro peace is ocean and who has wanted to continue the war but actually the 2 of them. Are are getting along and have peace proposal to to offer so what were expecting from cairo today is some kind of declaration where the 2 men present in very broad to their commitments to. Cease talks their commitment to engage with the tripoli government towards a political negotiation that could potentially lead to a unified libya and also some reference to the 3rd track which is a financial track of course there is little hopes that this will have by and with the tripoli based government. And their backers turkey so its a very uncertain outcome and as we see the other sort of variable that is in the air is what will the g. N. A. T. Do militarily if the jenae continues its offensive to suit and beyond to georgia maybe to Eastern Libya then even this egyptian led attempt to greenhouse there are no new longboard on a Peace Process will vanish overnight if i have to his forces control still a great deal of libya and much of the areas that they control include the oil fields no when it comes to leverage does that mean that a political solution cannot be fun for libya im less it includes probably for half dollar in some form. Thats it the lid at prices is that threefold crisis it has a military component because its theres a wall between 2 rattle military clinicians theres a political component because were talking about 2 rival governments and theres a financial component because you did tens entirely on its oil revenues and therefore control over the oil and Gas Infrastructure is essential to keep the money coming to to the government and to the Public Sector in general so a political deal in libya is contingent on a financial deal as well because at the heart of the problem is a crisis of legitimacy between the 2 governments but also a crisis on who who is allowed to manage. Revenues and and what stakes for those who control them currently Hostile Forces control most of the oil fields in the south of the country and in the east of the country and the Oil Terminals from which all is export and they have been carrying out a blockade or oil export since jan your which has cost 5000000000. 00 of losses to the Libyan Government so there is theres no doubt that looking ahead the very can the most contentious issue will be how to find a settlement on the oil sector on the Financial Sector and alongside that a political settlement this will be the thorny issue looking ahead of course were not just talking about a conflict about west and east of libya were talking about a conflict which also involves many other foreign governments as well how do you think all of that is going to play out from the governments that are backing either side in the conflict. Yes theres no no doubt that the increased foreign intervention open or indirect into the libya conflict will hinder. The mission add to the conflict weve seen over the past few months turkey intervene openly alongside the tripoli based government bring its own military forces in the hundreds to libyan soil they brought in syrian fighters in the thousands to support in tripoli bass government on the other side we see egypt. Saudi arabia financially olso and russia supporting. Our led forces and there is no doubt that within the ranks of the backers of hafter the presence of turkish troops is anathema and they want to see them leaving libya and on the other side on the tripoli base government side they want to see the foreign backers. And the Ministry Forces tied to them theres even room where out of the Sudanese Forces being there on the ground also leads libya each power it has its sort of Strategic Interests in libya as well lets remember that for turkey and supporting the tripoli based government is yes about saving the government but its about turkeys staking its own job political interests and financial interests in the libyan waters as well so its a very complicated chess game that is the played out as well claudia good to me we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed thank you. One more ahead on the news hour including on the march in mali protesters have a surprising ally whos backing their demands for the president to resign. Were in lebanon to hear whos comparing the country to a sinking ship. In support of the rare sound of a full football stadium the game returns in vietnam with no limits on finance. After nearly 2 weeks of nationwide protests against Police Brutality several u. S. States are taking steps to reform Controversial Police practices and many are police where George Floyds died while in Police Custody chokeholds and neck restraints are banned but as she have a town say reports from washington d.

Several Police Departments including minneapolis of down police through using true codes california will stop teaching its state police the technique across this country we train techniques on strangleholds. That put peoples lives a risk now we can argue that these are used as exceptions but at the end of the day the carotid hold that literally is designed to stop peoples blood from flowing into their brain that has no place any longer than 21st century. Practices police see. The problem is many of the most notorious cases of Police Misconduct over the last several years including the death of george floyd have occurred in departments that on paper at least had already reformed new york bound chokeholds in 1993 yet police there continue to use them notably during the killing of eric garner in 2014 after that outcry new york police spent 35000000. 00 only training officers not to strangle suspects but Police Complaint records show the practice still being employed with few officers disciplined and in fact Minneapolis Police reformed in 2016 among the new rules a requirement for officers to intervene if their colleagues used Excessive Force 3 officers now stand accused of aiding and abetting George Floyds murder the site of Police Officers taking a knee in sympathy with protesters this week has been taken as a sign that finally change is coming this was the scene in buffalo new york on wednesday yes one of those same officers knocked over an elderly protester the following day as others who had also knelt with protesters walked by now 57 buffalo Police Officers have resigned because of the disciplinary action taken against 2 officers as a result of the incident they argued those officers have been suspended were just doing their job and that question what exactly is the job of a Police Officer might be a good place to start if Police Violence is truly to be addressed she ever turned see aljazeera.
