'Feature' Geneva Dialogue Libyans' Hopes and Disappointments 1st and last addendum.

Tripoli, 8 February 2015(Lana)'I am optimistic about any sort of talks that could bring together Libyans, said Abul Gassem Abu Hdeima, an associate professor at the Libyan Academy. But he showed some reservation because 'every party to the conflict still believes of the military solution to the crisis.' F .A, an employee said he was confident about the success of the dialogue, especially that the international community, he said, was more adamant to achieve a peaceful solution that could bring stability and prevent Libya turning into a safe haven for terrorists. Another pollster M.M, a ministry clerk said there should be a Libyan to Libyan dialogue without foreign intervention. A.A, a teacher said she was a bit optimistic about the results of the talks, while Khalid Ahmed a journalist said the Geneva talks could not bring the desired results, unless they were moved inside Libya. A UN statement described the situation in Libya as critical, calling on all antagonists to bravely react to this dialogue and to put Libya's interests first to prevent the country descending into further conflict and economic collapse. the UN hosted the first round of the talks at its headquarters in Geneva in mid January, followed by a second round in which representatives of both parties to the conflict attended, with total absence of representatives of the General National Congress, which said he did not recognize the results of that meeting which was an extension of the first meeting held in Ghadamis in September 2014. The GNC position is particularly key to efforts being mounted by the UN Special Envoy Bernardino Leon. The GNC spokesman Omar Hmeidan announced the approval of the congress to take part in the talks to be held inside Libya shortly after parties agreed to attend to end the rift and reunite the country. =Lana=
