Ukraine in Arabic | France called for world to help Libya
KYIV/Ukraine in Arabic/ The Security Council of UN has been alarmed by the increase in fighting between militia groups and Libya's army factions in recent weeks.
France is calling for "exceptional support" for Libya, warning the country could fall into chaos without United Nations intervention.
If no action is taken, French President Francois Hollande warned, "terrorism will spread across the region."
"My main concern today is Libya," Hollande told an annual address to French diplomats. "If we do not do anything internationally, terrorism will spread across the entire region.
"It is vital that the legitimate parliament, elected by the people last June, forms an inclusive government capable of relaunching the national reconciliation process and to disarm militias. Otherwise it will be chaos."
His comments come a day after the UN Security Council called for an immediate ceasefire in Libya.
It is also seeking sanctions against those involved in the surge in violence between rival militias.
The names of those to face sanctions have not yet been decided.
On 23 August a coalition of militias, including some Islamist groups, operating under the banner Libya Dawn, seized control of the international airport in the capital, Tripoli from a Zintan-based militia.
The victory, which secures the alliance's control over the capital, ends a five-week siege.
