| Libyan official warns UNSC of possible 'civil war' |
| 2014-08-28 |
| [Iran Press TV] A top Libyan official has warned the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Security Council (UNSC) that the North African country could descend into a "full-scale civil war" if militias are not disarmed. The situation in Libya "since the 13th of July, has become even more complicated and the situation might unravel into a full-blown civil war if we're not very careful and wise in our actions," Libya's United Nations Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi told the UNSC on Wednesday. His mid-July reference was to heavy fighting that broke out between rival militias vying for control of Libya's main airport in the capital, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... . "I had always excluded the possibility of civil war but the situation has changed," Dabbashi said, adding, "In the past, security incidents were limited, isolated and rare. But today the festivities ... (are) between two gangs using heavy weaponry. Each group (has) its own allies scattered in the other regions of the country." The 15-nation council met to discuss Libya days after its outgoing parliament reconvened and chose a new prime minister. |
