Coup in Libya and next summit in Paris

A coup against Prime Minister Fayez Al Sarraj is what is thought to be taking place in Tripoli, despite the official denials. The situation deteriorated after the French announcement of a conference on Libya to be held in the next few days in Paris. Between official denials and indiscretions, it is understood that three militias so far under the control of the premier have tried to put the presidential council of Sarraj under 'physical' protection so that in Paris the premier does not make concessions to General Khalifa Haftar, who appears unavoidable in a future restructuring of the highly fragmented Libyan military system. Information relaunched by social media and above all two major pan-Arab newspapers, Al Arabiya and Skynews in Arabic, suggesting a militia revolt, according to which militias hitherto loyal to Sarraj have taken control of the presidential council television and the airport . Other media also report the taking of other "nerve centers" of the capital by the "301" ex "Albous" brigade, that of the "Tripoli Revolutionaries" and the "Ghaniwa". After a few hours the denials arrived, including the categorical one of the Ministry of the Interior which explained the rumors only as an attempt to "destabilize the capital". One site, citing sources close to the Sarraj-led Council, claimed that the Tripoli Revolutionaries attempted to replace the Presidential Guard to obtain a "guarantee" that the prime minister in Paris will not yield to Haftar. In the conference on Tuesday 29 but the date has not been confirmed, an agreement should be signed for "the organization of elections for the end of 2018", according to a draft of the agreement. However, more relevant for the militias is knowing who will command the Libyan armed forces.
