Italian Minister Fears Libya Turning into Another 'Somalia' Unless Agreement is Reached Within Weeks.

Tripoli, 17 August 2105(Lana) Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentelone has warned Libya might turn into another 'Somalia' unless an agreement was reached by Libya parties to the conflict through the ongoing UN-sponsored talks. In an interview with La Stampa newspaper published on Monday, Gentelone said 'either we have an agreement within weeks, or we will be looking to another Somalia few steps away from our shores, and then we will be obliged to act in a different way.' The Minister said time was running out, and especially when ISIS becoming so dangerous, in reference to the violent battles that raged in Sirte in the last few days between the residents of the city and ISIS extremist gunmen. Gentelone said 'if the talks did not yield any fruits soon, Libya would have to be placed on the agenda of the international coalition which is fighting ISIS, and then the goal would not be to stabilize Libya but rather to contain terrorism there.' =Lana
