Last night’s talk shows: Conference on Libya in Palermo leads conversation on the airwaves

On another night of bland miscellany, the conference on Libya in Palermo continued to lead the conversation on the airwaves.

The conference was long overdue and the international community should have directed more attention to the crisis in Libya as it was unfolding, former Foreign Minister Mohamed Orabi tol Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 7:00). Former Foreign Minister Hussein Haridy, meanwhile, blamed foreign “meddling” in Libya for halting progress on the Libyan unity agreement. He also told Masaa DMC’s Osama Kamal that the Palermo conference is meant to revive the 2015 agreement between rival Libyan factions to form a unity government (watch, runtime: 4:06). Yahduth fi Masr’s coverage of the conference was limited to airing highlights from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s speech at the conference (watch, runtime: 2:55).
