The news<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Italy’s foreign minister has made a flying visit to <br />Tripoli to meet Libya’s UN-backed unity government.<br /><br /> The visit by Paolo Gentiloni was the first by a senior Western official since the arrival in Tripoli nearly two weeks ago of the unity government’s Presidential Council.<br /><br /> He suggested the 2011 UN arms embargo could be lifted to help the Libyan authorities fight ISIL.<br /><br /> “Is it thinkable that in the future, through our cooperation, some sectors of this embargo could be lifted, so to give possibilities to Libyan authorities to be stronger also in fighting Da’esh (ISIL) and terrorism?”<br /> <br /><br /> I am delighted to be in #Tripoli for Italy's emergency aid and to support al-Sarraj's Government of National Accord pic.twitter.com/WWwyJS4vvA— Paolo Gentiloni (@PaoloGentiloni) April 12, 2016<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni met with PM Faiz Serraj in Abusetta #Tripoli to show support to GNA #Libya pic.twitter.com/quBVWrDocZ— Nadia Ramadan (@NadiaR_LY) April 12,
