UNITED NATIONS - Libya is on the brink of a civil war that could “lead to the permanent division of the country,” a top U.N. official warned the Security Council on Tuesday as he urged the world body to stop countries that were fueling the conflict with weapons.

But he referenced recent arms deliveries to both parties. Libya has been subject to a U.N. arms embargo since 2011, however the government is allowed to import weapons and related materiel with the approval of a U.N. Security Council committee. The most recent flare-up in the conflict in Libya - which has been gripped by anarchy since Muammar Gaddafi was toppled in 2011 - began in early April, when Haftar’s LNA advanced on the capital Tripoli. The LNA is now bogged down in southern suburbs by fighters loyal to Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj’s GNA.

One person is fueling: M Brzezinski

The U.N. should have spoken to BarackObama before he ordered NATO’s bombs to fall, destroying Libya’s peace. It’s been chaos since then. What’s going on today is a CONTINUATION, not a new conflict.

The Libyan 'arms embargo' by the UN is kind of like the US drugs embargo. It doesn't exist.

That hypocrite Salama he never spoke about Hafter when he has been receiving weapons for years, but now when GNA received small shipments of weapons he started talking!!?

How are you going to stop USA?

How about THE SLAVE TRADE after Obama and Hillary destroyed that country and peoes?

UN should have stopped America from killing Gadaafi, OsamaBinLadin etc. Oh wait UN has no power over America 😏

Qatar vs UAE

France, america, italy, saudi arabia and UAE are funding and giving orders to their pet haftar, well, they want to keep the country in a state of chaos and without official government as it's easy that way to plunder.
