But on Monday that scenario appeared increasingly distant. The U.N.’s top humanitarian official in Libya said that more than 2,800 people had fled the escalating violence in and around Tripoli while the clashes have left wounded and vulnerable civilians so isolated that emergency responders can’t reach them.
“The United Nations continues to call for a temporary humanitarian truce to allow for the provision of emergency services and the voluntary passage of civilians, including those wounded, from areas of conflict,” said Maria Valle Ribeiro, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator for Libya in a statement. The 75-year-old Hifter, a U.S. citizen who lived in exile in Northern Virginia for years, is aligned with a rival eastern government. He returned to Libya during the 2011 revolution and NATO intervention that toppled Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi and led to his killing.
I don't remember electing an international community?
Your made up community doesn't speak for me.
who needs chaos
What international community
Who’s listening?
WHICH INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS THAT? The one full of dictators and despots with Fascism and Terrorism growing like cancers in the body of politics? I do not think ANYONE takes the 'International Community' serious anymore.
