This political and social context has weighed heavily on the actual negative outcome of the talks hosted by the United Nations between the House of Representatives and the GNC on September 29, showing an almost complete inability to find non-partisan local or international actors with sufficient credibility to mediate the Libyan crisis.

Meanwhile, do not stop the violence in the east of the country. On October 2, three suicide bomb attacks have struck forces loyal to General al-Haftar near the Benina air base, in Benghazi, killing 40 soldiers and injuring more than 60. The attack was claimed by the organization known as the Benghazi Islamist Revolutionaries Shura Council. Forces loyal to Haftar were engaged since May 16 in military operations countering Ansar al-Sharia, the February 17 Brigade and the Brigade Rafallah al-Sehati. In August, the Benghazi Revolutionary Shura Council, to which belong the various Islamist groups operating in the area, they have seized control of some military bases in Benghazi, accumulating a large number of heavy weapons and armored vehicles. Operation Dignity, led by Haftar and for the moment ineffective, has in fact resulted in an escalation of violence in the whole area of Benghazi, where gunfights, explosions IED's, suicide bombings, beheadings and kidnappings frequently occur. The future of Libya is still hanging by a thread, the resolution of internal conflicts in the medium term will not take place; in fact, the current inability to set up a program of negotiations open to all players on the field undermines the bases for a return to a safe and secure environment.
