Libya back in crisis after infiltrators violate embargofrom AHMED ZAYED in Tripoli, LibyaTRIPOLI, (CAJ News) – LIBYA risks spilling into fresh fighting as foreign countries violate an arms embargo they committed to only a week ago. Concerned countries made the commitment on January 19 following what was then hailed as a successful International Conference on Libya, held in Berlin, the German capital. “The mission condemns these ongoing violations, which risk plunging the country into a renewed and intensified round of fighting,” it stated. Conflict has torn Libya apart since a rebellion against former Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi, who was eventually unseated and murdered in 2011. The invading North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bombers supported by United States of America (USA) and France helped the local Libyan rebels to capture and kill Gaddafi in 2011.
