Libya’s new prime minister is calling on the international community to help the country bolster its fight against terrorism by lifting an arms embargo and unfreezing funds that remain under U.N. sanctions.
Speaking at the Arab league in Cairo, Fayez al-Serraj, prime minister of the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord, says that “it doesn’t make sense that the international community supports our war against terrorism, and forbids us from arming ourselves.”
