Libya calls on UNSC to lift arms sanctions
‘Libya has called on the UN Security Council to remove arms sanctions on Tripoli to help the country’s military fight against the Takfiri militants operating in the North African state.
“Libya needs a decisive stance from the international community to help us build our national army’s capacity and this would come through a lifting of the embargo on weapons, so that our army can receive material and weapons, so as to deal with this rampant terrorism,” Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Dairi said in an address to the 15-member council on Wednesday.
The remarks came as the ISIL terrorist group has recently made an advance in Libya propagandized by a video showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians and an earlier announcement of the terror act in an issue of their magazine, Dabiq.’
