EU seeks Libya ceasefire, end to Turkish ‘interference’Lee Digital Content CenterBRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union called Tuesday on Turkey to stop its “interference” in conflict-ravaged Libya and appealed to forces fighting in the northern African country to call a ceasefire around the capital, Tripoli. The fighting has threatened to plunge Libya into violent chaos rivaling the 2011 conflict that ousted and killed long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkish soldiers were “already going gradually” to Libya. Algerian Foreign Minister Sabri Boukadoum met on Tuesday in Algiers with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu — who was to meet in the evening with Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio. Tebboune called on the international community to “impose an immediate cease-fire,” without saying how that could be done.
