UN envoy Ghassan Salame has bitterly denounced the conflict in Libya saying it is ‘committing suicide’ and plundering its oil wealth to pay for the war. ‘The truth is that Libya can pay for its own suicide,’ Salame lamented. ‘I always considered my compatriots in Lebanon as stupid enough to commit suicide with somebody else’s money. They are committing suicide with their own money,’ he told the International Peace Institute. ‘We need to work in order to put an end to this conflict,’ Salame said, regretting the lack of unity at the UN over the issue.
