Algerian Foreign Minister Dismisses Reports of Call by Sahel Countries for Military Intervention in Libya.

Tripoli, 25 January 2015(Lana) Algerian Foreign Minister Ramadan Al Amamra on Saturday denied that the Nouakchott meeting of Sahel states has called for a military intervention in Libya, considering the matter a false interpretation of the declaration issued by the meeting. 'What has been reported was a false interpretation of the Nouakchott Declaration', Al Amamra said at a joint press conference with his German Counterpart Frank Walter Steinmayer who is visiting Algeria. 'I think what was meant by the declaration, and indeed what has been expressed by these officials themselves when they visit Algeria and in their capitals, is a focus on combating terrorism, that's joining ranks in the fight against this plague, provided that a chance is given to the efforts being exerted by Algeria to bring about peaceful solutions, Al Amamra said. There have some reports in the media following the Dec. 19 meeting in Nouakchott that the final communiqué implied a call to the UN Security Council to form a an international force in collaboration with the AU to eliminate the armed groups and to help national reconciliation and establishment of democratic institutions in Libya. =Lana=
