Rome - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Monday condemned the “unacceptable” use of violence against civilians in Libya and said he was “alarmed” by clashes in the former Italian colony.
“Berlusconi is alarmed by the worsening clashes and by the unacceptable use of violence on the civilian population,” the government said in a statement.
“The European Union and the international community must make every effort to prevent the Libyan crisis from degenerating into a civil war,” it added.
The statement called for “a peaceful solution ensuring security for citizens and the integrity and stability of the country and the region as a whole”. - Sapa-AFP
