A technical level meeting with representatives of France, the United Kingdom, the USA and Italy focused on the formation of a joint military force in Libya took place in recent days in Paris, at the request of the United States. A Libyan source reports to "Nova" that the meeting had the aim of verifying and examining joint projects in favor of the "Joint military force", i.e. a unified Libyan armed force on which the 5+5 Military Committee, the joint commission made up of high-ranking Libyan officials from the east and west. A long article published today by the Libyan news website "Al Wasat" reports that the United States and France are playing a leading role in the unification of the Libyan armed forces. The "Nova" sources, however, reduce everything to a low-level technical meeting - where Soler was also absent - primarily wanted by the United States, and which has so far had little follow-up.
