`Ask kin to leave Libya`: Sushma tweets |
India`s External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj took to Twitter to reach out to relatives of those Indians who are living in Libya.In a tweet she said that though there had been massive evacuations from Libya, more than 500 Indians were still stranded in Tripoli. “Even after massive evacuation from Libya and the travel ban, there are over 500 Indian nationals in Tripoli. The situation in Tripoli is deteriorating fast. Presently, flights are operational. Pls ask your relatives and friends to leave Tripoli immediately. We will not be able to evacuate them later,” she tweeted.Libya has been witnessing intensifying fighting in Tripoli ever since the self-styled Libyan National Army, led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, launched an assault on the country`s capital on April 4. The move has been seen as one that could potentially drag the country into a civil war.An arrest warrant has been issued against Haftar and six of his aides, even as the Libyan prime minister Fayez Al-Sarraj called on the International Criminal Court to investigate “crimes and violations by the forces of warlord Khalifa Haftar and bring them to justice”.
