The United Nations Security Council has expressed ”grave concern” over weakening security situation in Libya. The North African country is struggling to control armed groups and transition to democracy. The UNSC approved a non-binding presidential statement that ”stresses the urgent need to strengthen military and police institutions”. The council strongly condemned the killing of unarmed protesters in the capital, Tripoli, last month. According to Fox News, Libya has been on uncertain footing since 2011 with the end of the civil war that toppled long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The Security Council statement asked the Libyan government to control arms stockpiles and keep them out of the hands of ”terrorist and extremist groups,” the report added. (ANI)
