Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar’s offensive against Tripoli represents a threat to international peace, the EU warned on Monday.
The bloc called for all sides in the Libyan conflict to put down their arms and to commit to UN talks, though the month-long assault on the capital shows little sign of ending.
EU Foreign Ministers had earlier held talks on the crisis, which deepened dramatically last month when Haftar, whose Libyan National Army (LNA) holds the east of the country, launched a bid to seize Tripoli, seat of the UN-recognised Government.
