Is a political analyst a professor at the university of 150. 00 he joins us now live via skype from moroccos capital riyadh good to have you with us professor so these talks today the repairs were talks about talks if you like ahead of the geneva meeting tomorrow did they achieve anything. Well i think the talks or historic in many ways because they come right after the historic agreement on air and i think they are going to be touching the ground and its meeting with each other on speak him on that important issues mainly the main key positions within the next government which will happen after an agreement after peace but also its a preparation for whats going to happen in a panic the in geneva where there are who in to be very interesting and serious negotiations on different aspects of the come in all of the forthcoming in future lead. Which would be a united the most important thing about these meetings is they come after the meetings of. 19. 2015 story and its a continuation in many ways morocco does not have any stake in whats going on in libya is it just honest broker that wants to bring people together and whats not wants them to. Discuss the serious issues and agree on them we know that for the moment libya is in a bad shape its a failed state its almost a contradiction of many tribes and its not a country in many ways so this meeting is a good beginning for any unification of the until the get back on its feet for the future and i think all the deviants are happy about whats going to happen in morocco and whats going to happen elsewhere in europe its clear that the libyan people that want peace up to 70 years of fighting other any groups that are within libya who arent that interested in peace and what about the role of foreign players in the country. Well im sure the foreign players are not happy about whats happening because they all have their stakes in here and they are proxies that are fighting wars we have got. To keep we have. Russia we have United Arab Emirates we have egypt they all have something in india and they are not going to be happy about east but the libyans want peace and its the libyans talking to that he begins that is what is important that hes no other governments or foreign governments involved in these talks and i think that is what is important in the long run and that bringing peace will be peace for all the events and thats good news for the country really good to talk to professor many thanks indeed for being with us Mohamad Chatah to the from rabat this is the news out still to come on the program determined to keep studying how a rebel army is making sure the children are still going to school and be an ma despite a government ban on the coronavirus.
