“I am really angry to see that everybody wants to talk about Libya, and very few people want to talk about the Libyans,” Salame said. “People are suffering and for no other reason but for the fact that there is no international clear message that enough is enough.”He said civilians are being killed, dozens of schools and health facilities are attacked, more than 300,000 people have fled their homes “and the Libyans are asking ... ‘Where is that international community that in 2011 said it will protect the civilians?’”Despite the current difficult situation, he said he is moving ahead on three tracks to try and get the rival sides together. Salame said representatives of all parties met for the first time Monday in Tunisia’s capital Tunis on economic and financial issues. He said he hopes in the next two weeks to launch talks on military and security issues including a cease-fire, the arms embargo, terrorism and counter-terrorism. And he expressed hope that a political dialogue can be launched before the end of January, probably in Geneva.
