Well 1st of all the tripoli because the government is accusing the egyptian regime which has called for this summit of attacking libya sovereignty of declaring war war on libya and violating the sovereignty of libya by declaring war and by threatening to intervene militarily militarily in cook in case the Government Forces move on the strategic course to the city of sirte and now we have just been told that libya libyas internationally recognized government it is planning to darwin size its diplomatic representation in the arab league on account of what it calls the double standard policy you believe is adopting specially in regard to the libyan next crisis now the government in tripoli is. Accusing the egyptian regime of for mentoring in fact fueling the conflict by being biased in dealing with the libyan crisis by backing and supporting the warlords really for have for several years now and their Foreign Ministry at their tripoli base the government is also accusing the arab league of violating its own its the leagues own internal panel by holding this summit without consent of the Libyan Government also this is in inter in as the government names it a violation of the Security Council resolutions because libyas internationally recognized government is the only illegitimate body who presenting libya abroad and now it seems that any peace any peace proposal comes from egypt from the egyptian regime namely is rejected by the tripoli because the government. Given the fact that the egyptian regime has encouraged have to tour the fuse i rejected many c. S. Fire proposals in the past they say the government officials here say that when we are full of peace in the past the egyptian regime encouraged have to reject it but now wont have to and has been defeated when his project has been failed the military campaign he launched it has failed now digital regime is trying to save have to by offering a ceasefire proposal on a serious backward up forward there live in tripoli for us lets go to the coastal city of misrata. Traina is there east of the capital whats happening on the ground right now mullet. Well jeannie forces are positioned to the west of. You know they say that they will not negotiate with hostage or and that they will enter the city its important to know that these are forces that know the area in and around certain very well they went in to search in 2011 they captured and killed gadhafi there in 2016 eisel took control of sirte for several months and these are the forces primarily from the city here in the trucks that entered sirte and liberated it of course they did that with american support the u. S. Africa Africa Command carried out airstrikes at the time so theres been cooperation with the americans we saw yesterday a delegation a u. S. Delegation arriving in libya and and so they say that they will enter the city and then they dont they dont want to negotiate with after now were seeing a lot of as mahmoud said a lot of political maneuvering by various countries egypt you know saying saying the. President of the fatah has sisi asking his military to be repaired he said that you know suits and and so for us in central libya our red line we also know that. Porting to u. S. Africa command over 14 or 14000000 Russian Military jets are in algebra so you know thats sort of causing a lot of issues and in terms of the americans in terms of the europeans libya strategically located on the mediterranean Southern Shores has one of the largest gas natural gas reserves in the world now you know as you can see the the the weather sort of warm enough so theres going to be an influx of migrants trying to reach europe through libya and so you know were seeing a lot of various actors positioning themselves in various ways you know some probably for a ceasefire some not and so what thats what were seeing whether or not they will go into sirte now or they will wait or even. Itll be a peaceful solution will want to find out. Many thanks indeed i was there is not a traitor there live for us in the coastal city of misrata east of tripoli in libya the situation in that country has changed drastically over the past 6 months in january turkey rapidly passed a law allowing it to deploy troops to libya for one year soon turkish boots landed in the capital to support the government of National Accord despite protests from greece france and egypt the following month the United Nations tried to broker a cease fire without success the government of National Accord then pulled out of further negotiations following the killing of civilians by half shelling of the capital in march the Un Special Envoy to libya on salami quit his job over Health Concerns further complicating peace efforts the jna then made began making advances and reclaiming control of land from half the us forces in may diplomats confirm the presence of russian nurse noor is in the country the same month the government of National Accord claimed control over a key air base near the tunisian border and dozens of towns and supply routes soon after a number of flights carrying russian mercenaries were spotted leaving the battlefront around tripoli as the government of National Accord continued to advance east woods egypts president announced that he would intervene militarily in support of half the should he see it necessary. Is a libya analyst he joins us now live via london. Via skype from london always good to have you with us. A feeling i know what youre going to say here but why do you think the government of National Accord is dismissing these calls for arab league sponsored peace talks. Well its a real weaponization of the Peace Process given only the 2 weeks ago it was the us is it off with a peace deal in cairo that the murder of the Police Officers forces were in a tree. And this is really a policy of preservation by a cartel all or there were various states in the arab league and its perhaps one of the most bizarre the plot incidents and recent history and there is a lot theres are all of what we in the very least and because of this one has the. Country back in an insurgent. Tells a sober government that is the weather like to be a play of its own territory requirements only on the whole a part of the r. C. C. So its a bizarre one but i would say that the arab league and egypt because of some of our terrorist projectable and in cahoots the political weapon or its any resources Going Forward this is the president has he said the bottom line only moments ago that was the sense in january 20th in berlin and days before that there was a sense in moscow and its the words of the apocalypse that have now become infamous in moscow which was he refused to do and so i mean the moral finding none of us come and really get about 101. 00 how many factors might it thats where the real issue is that its mostly where theyre going from the offensive to the retreats and then its really it was a policy of preservation especially given that if a part of the general populace of the enjoyable part of russia work actually be out of the intricate of the if. So the government of National Accord is worried that the peace talks the call for peace talks is mainly a storming mechanism you heard me a few moments ago reading out that that that list that summary of whats happened in the last few months in libya which is incredibly complicated just who is involved in libyas conflict right now. Well as an interesting mix only side of the credit by far most his 3rd of the civil war and still attempted coup in the last 6 years you have egypt which backs for the iraq war militarily and most intelligence that in the early those attackers civil war of 1014. 00 you also have the United Arab Emirates who are deployed f. 16 of the fluid alongside erik prince formerly a blackwater arsenal of chinese firms that are almost a copycat of the americans for the heroes there who really lose that deploy them but recently in the last 6 years you also have russia which is as the reporter correctly pointed out has the Police Militia 14 at least 14 jensen and and a higher than a sort of injured or who are at barons of russian medicine is that it is a ploy to the streets of tripoli you know with their capture on behalf of dont you also have as i said what are your how transparent youre going interchangeably diplomatic immunity all of the actors that really the u. A. E. Have been willing to give him the ways and means to sustain the advance of the lever and when that will so really have a an interesting mix on its own just just briefly. Whats your sense of where this conflict is headed next. This is the most and belittling and least this trip to libya everything that happens in the inches literally did inches of major geostrategic consequences one of the leaders of the erbium are a lot more regretfully a lot more luck that will be skillful to get anywhere near a p. C. A lot given the so many of the countries and all of the military factor is also the keys to the e. U. And the u. N. Security council especially russia and france its going to be very difficult to get any kind of meaningful diplomatic Peace Process at the end of this 100 years ago a lot more a lot more but the come aggressively will still be here a month ago and i asked god to talk to me thanks and they had an awesome commodity there live in london. This is the news out from aljazeera still to come on the program prefer. To hear whos detailing dozens of Human Rights Violations committed by the us police in just 10 days. In malawi last years president ial election was marred by for critics question whether the rerun is going to be any better. Than in schools a huge show of support for the africanamerican nascar driver who was the target of a racist act. Voting in the primary elections on the way in the us states of new york and kentuckian but there are concerns in kentucky about voters not being able to cost the ballots officials closed thousands of voting stations because of the covert 900 pandemic fewer than 200 are available especially spots in areas where black voters live in new york social distancing measures are in place as people vote like kentucky new york has made it easier for voters to cast their ballots by mail this year but the high number of 1000000 votes is expected to delay results from both states for several days lets go live to louisville kentucky aljazeera said john hendren. Were hearing the phrase Voter Suppression bandied around a lot today as far as kentuckys primary is concerned john why is it so controversial. Well adrian theyve closed most of the 3700. 00 polling places across the state of kentucky there normally 33700. 00 there are now going to be 200. 00 so that means in urban areas like where i am now in Jefferson County the capital city there is louisville. The urge going to be one place to vote all day and that is this the Kentucky Exposition Center right now. Well there well under capacity but the concern is that that could change over the course of the day i would just give you a look this is where people fill out their ballots and as you can see theres plenty of space right now and then over my other shoulder there are the machines that they take these ballots and turn in you can see people doing that as well but this is a county where half of the states black residents live and the concern is that they might not be able to get here and that if they do they might eventually be deterred by long lines or just reports of long lines and not vote and thats important because this is a very important election for black voters theres a black candidate for Senate Charles booker who was just outside here before voting himself and hes running for senate in a seat that if he won he would contend with the republican leader of the u. S. Senate Mitch Mcconnell a very big race youve also had the recent killing of an africanamerican woman Briana Taylor by police in her own home they were issuing a warrant but looking for someone else so the belief is that voter turnout will be exceptionally high particularly among africanamericans and anything that would stunned me that vote could alter the outcome of the election adrian as the been any precedent for this job or seen anything like this before. Well voting in a pandemic is always a problem this election has been put off for a month but its happened also in wisconsin and in georgia and wisconsin in particular the city of milwaukee had just 5 polling places that was way down from their usual number of hundreds and there were problems there people waited in line for hours people eventually didnt vote and with the mail in ballots yes one in 3 voters here did request a mail in ballot but we dont know that they turned him in and we also know there have been problems with some of those mail in ballots that they have the wrong names on them or the wrong party so as you notice one of these is for the republicans one of these is for the democrats you get the wrong one you dont have the choices that you want to make and that gives you no choice but to come into a place like this just heiress john hendren live in louisville kentucky many thanks indeed john meanwhile u. S. President donald trump is set to visit arizona in the coming hour sees that if you construction of the wall along the border with mexico lets go live now to the white house. Is the out of the disappointing rally at the weekend the phone calls for President Trumps relaunch his Election Campaign is that something hes likely to try today. Well this is part of it by goin
