After the failed negotiations in Moscow, Berlin will host an international conference on January 19 to perpetuate the ceasefire in Libya and relaunch the process. Meanwhile, the tension remains palpable in Tripoli.

Precarious calm reigns over Tripoli. Each side tries to consolidate its position. Despite ceasefire violations, the situation remains under control for the time being.

To maintain its positions, the Khalifa Haftar camp has called in reinforcements, while the forces of Fayez el-Sarraj can count on the support of the Syrian mercenaries, deployed by Turkey in Tripoli. Two thousand Syrians have arrived on the scene in recent weeks, according to the British daily The Guardian .

The Libyan case is still the subject of numerous declarations and telephone contacts between international officials. Aguila Saleh, the head of the Libyan parliament, was in Cairo on Wednesday morning. Before the Arab Parliament, he affirmed that the Libyan national army, led by Khalifa Haftar, will continue its mission and will soon enter Tripoli to liberate it from the militias.

In the Egyptian capital, Aguila Saleh also called on the Arab countries to no longer recognize the government of national unity. " Its validity is legitimately and constitutionally terminated ," he said.

The head of the Libyan Parliament also asked the Arab countries to intervene to face the intervention of Turkey in Libya. According to him, the two agreements signed between Ankara and the Fayez el-Sarraj government are illegal, since they have not received the approval of the Parliament.

In a statement, the Arab parliament denounced the Turkish decision to send forces to Libya. Addressing the United Nations, he called on the Security Council to take urgent measures to stop the transfer of foreign fighters to Libya.
