Tripoli, 1 February 2106(Lana) French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said it was imperative to reach a speedy solution to the Libyan crisis to enable the international community to offer military assistance to the proposed consensus government to prevent expansion of Da'esh in the country. In a television interview, the Minister said 'a national consensus government has to be reached as a serious political process, being unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council. Da'esh is taking a foothold in Libya, and the international community is very concerned, particularly that they are 250 km from the Italian island of Lampedoza, Le Drian said, adding that when weather improves fighters might cross to Europe hiding among migrants. Everyone realizes the danger of transferring conflict from the East to open a new one in Libya, considering the only way to wipe it out was the political unity of all Libyan parties. Le Drian statements came days after repeated western statements which analysts saw as a beating the drums of war for an imminent strike against terrorist Da'esh group in Libya. =Lana=
