  1. EU to deploy security mission in Libya if requested ...

    The European Union is signaling that it will consider moving security personnel into Libya to help stabilize the chaotic country if requested by a new UN-backed Libyan government, according to a draft statement seen by Reuters.

    Impetus for the move comes in part from fears of an uncontrolled new tide of migrants into Italy from Libya unless law and order can be rebuilt soon in the North African state.

    EU foreign and defence ministers will hold a special dinner on Monday in Luxembourg where they are expected to agree to look into police and border training missions for Libya, initially in Tripoli, where the new government is trying to establish itself.

    “The EU stands ready to offer security sector support in response to possible (UN) Government of National Accord requests,” ministers are expected to say, according to a draft statement prepared by diplomats that is still under discussion.

    “A possible civilian ... mission could support Libyan efforts ... through advice and capacity building in the fields of police and criminal justice,” said the draft, referring to counter-terrorism, border management and tackling the smuggling of migrants across the Mediterranean to Europe..........http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/africa/2016/04/15/EU-to-deploy-security-mission-in-Libya-.html
