Libya, the Egyptian president will be at the Palermo conference

Palermo – The historic photo of these two days will be the hand shake between the leaders of the two opposing factions that govern the Libya: on the one hand the general of the militias in Cyrenaica, Khalifa Haftar, of the other head of the national government supported by the United Nations Fayez al-Serraj. That's what the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for the United Nations Libya, Ghbadan SalameDuring the conference press with which the conference has ended. Yesterday, the head of the League welcomed the results of the summit. Palermobut immigration has so far made the task very difficult and the league can give it up for a conference. The mini-summit of the morning was presented "as a meeting between the protagonists of the Mediterranean". Haftarwho had little to gain but a lot to lose by ignoring Palermo, come back to Benghazi to gain media success and perhaps a change of pace from the international community, with Italy clearly inclusive (count underlines the equidistant position of his government by all Libyan parties) and reconciles it Egypt, at Russia but also to la France (from Paris come praises for Palermo, "anything but a flop").

To the question about deep disappointment expressed by Turkey count he said: "I was sorry that the Turkish delegation it's far away. "By the UN envoy "Success in the capital is crucial, not only because it houses most government institutions and 30% of the Libyan population, but also because Tripoli it can be a model to replicate in other cities in the country. "

"We expect stabilization of the Libya to improve the living conditions, the economic and social conditions of all Libyans and all citizens of the territory of Libya".

Almost like a twist, he also made an appearance General Khalifa Haftar. "Compromise for the good of the people is the art of leadership and compromises are made with adversaries, not with friends," he added. Italian Prime Minister. Third and indispensable pillar for the stabilization of Libya it is also the economic revival of a country endowed with enormous oil resources, but still today poorly distributed and, in many cases, dispersed in a criminal traffic. Where I found it Italy I intend to leave him, he seems to want to clarify the President of the Council, thus denying anti-Brussels excesses or a particular tuning with Moscow. It is also the first yellow-green diplomatic initiative and sees – this is the second novelty at the international level – the mark of good relations between the government's allies and Moscow. "I would not even participate if it were to last a hundred years," he told Arab television, adding that he had "come just to meet with European ministers"For Giorgia Meloni (FdI), the summit" will not remain in history, no prime minister present, no document signed "." I have nothing to do with this "event, he said the general in a TV interview Al-Hadath.

Without it, the agreements reached at the end of the conference would have been even more difficult to maintain, but the behavior of Haftar it is not unimportant. Therefore, the role of these countries does not end in their presence Palermo and in eventual support for a joint final declaration, but that will be measured by the attitude that will manifest itself in the weeks and months to come and how they will use their influence on a multitude of Libyan actors. .
