A United Nations (UN) special envoy has warned of Islamic State (IS) camps in Libya and has said that many states face the risk of destabilization if the country's chaos is not contained quickly.
Hiroute Guebre Sellassie, the UN envoy to the Sahel region, briefed the UN Security Council on Thursday on the threats to the Sahel region in western Africa, a week after a senior U.S. general warned of the existence of IS training camps in eastern Libya, reported News 24.
Army General David Rodriguez, who heads US Africa Command, had said that the camps have a couple of hundred fighters but details remain sketchy.
Sellassie urged the international community to quickly step-in and do more to stabilise Libya, which has split into two governments.
