Pulbished on:
Tripoli, 14.03.2016(Lana) Italian Ministry of Defense confirmed
Monday that Rome does not plan for any military intervention in
Libya, expressing readiness to offer help to restore security and
stability in the country.
Italian Minister of defense, Roberta Pinotti dismissed reports on
presence of Italian military and intelligence personnel on Libyan
soil. She reiterated her country's readiness to offer help to Libya
to restore stability in the country within an international mission.
The Italian Minister said the believe that military intervention
is capable of filling the vacuum caused by lack of consensus among
Libyans is irrelevant, stressing that the fundamental issue lies in
identifying ways to end the political process related to the
formation of the national accord government.
There were reports about arrival of Italian, French, American and
British special forces in Libya, though limited in numbers. These
developments came against the backdrop of reports about a joint
US-Italian moves to start an operation against Daesh gunmen in the
country, especially after announcement of the US ambassador to Italy
that 5000 Italian soldiers would go to Tripoli to secure it and
prevent the Daesh from over-running it.
