TRIPOLI, Libya, May 10 (UPI) — Britain announced Friday it is withdrawing some of its staff from its embassy in Libya in response to violence in Tripoli in recent weeks.
The Foreign Office said it was “temporarily withdrawing a small number of staff,” the BBC reported.
The embassy will remain “open as usual,” the ministry said. Those being sent home work in support positions at government ministries “which have been affected by recent developments.”
The ministry advised against all but essential travel to the capital and other parts of Libya.
A car bomb exploded outside the French embassy in Tripoli in April and heavily armed militias have besieged government buildings in the past month.
Sounds like Deja Vu all over again.
Better to get thet new Ambassador over there now maybe she can identify and capture the renegades she swore to find come hell or high water! Feel sorry for the Cat that stayed in Lybia thinking he would be the new Ambassador!
Oh well Josey Wales said it best! “Dyeing ain’t much of a livin”
