Niamey – The President of Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou, has called for a new international military intervention in Libya, under UN supervision, to neutralise the rampaging militias.
The Nigerien head of state made the call in an interview on Tuesday in Niamey.
He said “there is a need to have French, U.S. and British troops in there to repair the damage they caused.
“It is high time they provided after sales services,’’ Issoufou said.
According to Issoufou, neighbouring countries should be on hand to help, and Niger will play its part.
“There is also the need to reconcile all Libyan parties, including supporters of the late Mouammar Gaddafi, with a view to forming a national unity government.
“Libya is the source of evil, if we do nothing, we will encourage disaster,’’ he added.
