Libya’s Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni criticised the US, UK and EU for failing to help his forces battle of the rival ‘Libyan Dawn’ militants that took control of the capital last year.
Speaking to Arabic television on Tuesday, Thinni, said,
“Unfortunately the international community and especially the United States, Britain and the European Union have refused to arm the Libyan army.”
The announcement came as the officially recognised government, suspended its participation in the UN sponsored talks in protest of the involvement of several military factions.
In Tripoli, the rival General National Congress government, set up after militants took over the city, urged all parties to participate in United Nations facilitated talks, reports Reuters.
