from AHMED ZAYED in Tripoli, LibyaLibya BureauTRIPOLI, (CAJ News) – VIOLATIONS of the United Nations (UN) arms embargo and delays in withdrawing foreign mercenaries are threatening to disrupt the peace process in Libya. “The significant progress and achievements in the past many months must be consolidated, the processes must regain momentum,” Kubiš said. Libya plunged into crisis in 2011 when longtime leader, Muammar Gaddafi, was toppled and later murdered. A humanitarian crisis sparked by migrants and refugees that have failed to reach Europe via Libya has added to the country’s woes. Over 575 000 of these individuals from over 41 countries are currently in Libya.
