Libya: US backs arming of government for IS fight...
ReplyDeleteThe US and other world powers have said they are ready to arm Libya's UN-backed unity government to help it fight the self-styled Islamic State (IS) group.
Speaking in Vienna, US Secretary of State John Kerry said world powers would back Libya in seeking exemption from a UN arms embargo.
He said IS was a "new threat" to Libya and it was "imperative" it was stopped.
Last month, the Libyan government warned that IS could seize most of the country if it was not halted soon.
After holding talks with international partners, Mr Kerry said: "The GNA [Government of National Accord] is the only entity that can unify the country. It is the only way to ensure that vital institutions... fall under representative and acknowledged authority.
"It is the only way to generate the cohesion necessary to defeat Daesh [IS]."....BBC
