Italy Visits Foreign Minister Visits Libya to Support UN-Backed Government
CCTV – Italy’s foreign minister flew into Tripoli for talks with the head of Libya’s unity government Fayez Seraj – the first senior Western official to meet the new Libyan administration since it moved to the capital. The mission by Italy will be seen as a vote of confidence in Seraj, who arrived in the city last month at the head of a UN-backed Presidential Council to try and end years of political deadlock and conflict. Italy, France and other Western powers have offered to support Seraj and train security forces facing a growing threat from Islamist militants. The unity government is meant to replace two rival sets of governments and parliaments in Tripoli and the east. Both were backed by loose alliances of the armed factions that established themselves after the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
