Libya: Hafter is an obstacle on road to peace. Frm Italian press 16.7.2015

Signed a first ceasefire between militias. Islamists in Tripoli do not sign. Because they want the general out of the military. In this case, however, Tobruk can blow up the table.




As the world was glued to the signing of the agreement between the US and Iran, another negotiation was steps "significant" for the United Nations.
Negotiations on Libya in Morocco came to a document of the armistice signed by the majority of militias.
Still hostilities do not cease. The General National Congress (CNG) of Tripoli, the self-proclaimed parliament of Islamists, did not accept the agreement, for military and political reasons.
The parliament exiled to Tobruk has instead signed for favorable conditions and also because the enemies of Capital had said no.
THE VETO ON HAFTAR. The casus belli between the two main forces that govern in Libya remains the controversial General Khalifa Haftar, former gheddafiano who holds the assembly of Tobruk and dividing the country. Once on the verge of fail, the negotiations have still marked progress, the Special Envoy of the United Nations in Libya Bernardino Leon, "really important."  
PEACE BETWEEN MILITIA. The militias who control the territory out locally and also in Tripoli, sharing the deputies of the two parliaments as bombings, kidnappings and intimidation, have undertaken not to attack each other more. The text for the "Peace and Reconciliation", the UN aims to complete with the seal of all to celebrate the end of Ramadan, He states that "signatory cities do not use their territory to attack other cities, or support parties attackers to other cities."





  • The draft of the armistice signed by the militia with the UN.

Zintan and Misurata lay down their arms, but remains outside Tripoli

Among the signatory cities stand Misrata brigade allied Islamists in Tripoli, Zintan and rivals, allies of Tobruk vice versa.
Through intenazionali pressures and a process of co-optation internal mediator Leon hopes to bring in even the government of the capital, "not ready "cartel.
"At the last round of the talks have advanced our reserves, but were not taken into consideration," said a leader of the CNG.
 POSSIBLE TOUCH. In fact, the draft was not meeting the Islamists who, in 2011, escaped to Tripoli Gaddafi. But it could be doctored with some concessions. Then the other party of Tobruk and his military chief will come out agreement? It is possible, the war between the two has been going on from the power of the National Congress of the Islamists in August 2014 and the subsequent appointment a premier parallel. Tripoli asks UN Haftar that is not the captain of a possible unity government, an objective of the negotiations, and that its Islamist militias be absorbed into the new police.
 LEGISLATIVE POWER TO TOBRUK . Another major concern is the transformation, according to the protocol of the agreement, the CNG in a Council of State with purely consultative. Legislative power would remain however, with an extension of the mandate, entirely parliament to Tobruk. It is true that Members hunted in eastern Libya are the only ones who have been legitimately elected to the Legislative than a year ago. The counterpart of Tripoli denies however the very low participation in the last vote (about 600,000 voters out of approximately 6 million inhabitants) and complaint bombing internal forces Haftar as a violation of international law.


Thanks to the mediation of Rome, the mosaic of Libyan militias and their local councils, created on the model of the Committees of National Liberation (CLN) Italian Resistance, is for many months with the United Nations.
Although very filthiness, through diplomacy in Libya you are putting together the jagged tissue civil and even military, on the ground of the national interest.
For the Libyans is essential to maintain control of oil and foreign fighters Isis are an alarm bell.
 The ISIS THREAT WELLS. In the Country Caliphate planted training camps thanks to widespread support of jihadist groups like Ansar al Sharia in Libya and the naive mouth of adhesion between the tribes. But it is a great threat to the control wells which represent 90% of the revenue of the state. It is important that Misurata and Zintan agree. Leader of the uprising against Gaddafi, Misurata brigade has cleaned up its collusion with jihadists, opening a difficult and bloody forehead against the Isis in Sirte, a former stronghold of Colonel in the hands of the Caliphate . Since 2011, the Zintan militia held prisoner instead heir and eldest son of Colonel, Saif al Islam, who has the hand the keys to the property regime.
 THREAT OF SANCTIONS. Behind the struggle between "Islamists and secularists" Libya is also a big division of power and money, however adhesives against foreign depredation. "The CNG will be the next round of negozionati », he announced the head of misuratini. To close ranks, the United Nations and the European Union would be ready to punish saboteurs cartel. The two major players in Libya is still unreliable. But the majority of the militias is with the UN. The agreements are signed in mid also to take time, relevant forces are against peace. But there are reasons for hope.
