US expresses concern over situation in Libya
Washington/UNI: The United States is concerned by foreign actors in Libya funnelling fighters and military aid to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord and the Libyan National Army of Khalifa Haftar, US Department of State said in a statement.
"The United States is concerned by the Government of National Accord’s request for military support, and by the LNA’s threat to use foreign-supplied air assets and mercenaries to attack Misrata," the statement by Morgan Ortagus read.
The spokesperson warned that external military intervention in Libya threatened prospects for resolving the conflict and offered US assistance to the United Nations and all the parties concerned in a bid to initiate political talks.
"The United States is prepared to work with the UN and all the parties to initiate political negotiations. The recent inclusive US-Libya Economic Dialogue in Tunis demonstrated constructive progress is possible if external actors give Libyans the time and space to engage with each other," she said.
