community - engaged through UNSMIL to form a
national unity government - completely different was the drama lived in Tripoli and Cyrenaica in the same hours.Cyrenaica: the new Haftar operationOn 19 September, General Khalifa Haftar announced the launch of a new military offensive on Benghazi. The
operation Hatf (named after one of the powerful swords of Prophet Mohamad) and
Doom (as international media write, meaning no less
apocalyptic) is intended to strike all jihadi militias in the city and
provides for a more intensive cooperation between Libyan national arm land and air forces. An announcement brought new battles and destruction (UNHCR estimates
are at least one hundred thousand displaced persons from Benghazi,
almost four hundred thousand in total) that contrasts with the
statements that a deal between Tripoli and Tobruk is "getting closer".The
UN envoy Bernardino Leon has in fact discharged Sunday, closing the
last session of the National Dialogue, delegates of the two parliaments
Libyans (returned to Tobruk and Tripoli to examine the proposal with
their respective deputies), with a promise to announce ' final agreement between the parties within the next 48 hours. In this climate, the operation of Haftar has obviously been denounced
by the international community as an act of hostility declared the
initiative of reconciliation.

The strength of ISIS strategy (which strongly undermines the outcome of the national reconciliation process) lies in attracting popular discontent about political "foreign" intervention, judged as an unacceptable interference by many Libyans.
