Tripoli, Jan 26 (AFP) Weapons are pouring into Libya in violation of an arms embargo and despite commitments made last week by world powers, the United Nations mission to the North African country has said. The UN mission in Libya, UNSMIL, said in a statement late Saturday it "deeply regrets the continued blatant violations of the arms embargo in Libya". Libya has been mired in chaos since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that killed longtime dictator Moamer Kadhafi, with two rival administrations vying for power. "The mission condemns these ongoing violations, which risk plunging the country into a renewed and intensified round of fighting," UNSMIL said. Erdogan has warned Europe it could face new threats from terrorist organisations if the GNA in Tripoli were to fall.
