Mali appeals for international intervention in Libya

Mali's foreign minister is appealing for international intervention in Libya to combat the spread of terrorism in the Sahel region of Africa and restore a central government.

 

Abdoulaye Diop told the UN Security Council Tuesday that "as long as a solution is not found to the Libyan crisis almost everything that we are doing in Mali and throughout the Sahel more broadly speaking will continue to be threatened."

  

Diop reiterated an appeal from leaders of the Sahel for the Security Council and the African Union to set up an international force "to neutralize the armed groups" and promote democratic institutions in Libya.
