Libya: Arms transfers must stop-Di Maio (4)

(ANSA) - Rome, May 14 - Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said Thursday that the movement of arms and mercenaries into Libya must stop and the EU's new Irini operation could help a lot on this front.
    Addressing a joint session of the House and Senate foreign affairs committees, Di Maio also said the coronavirus had acted as a "brake" on the Libyan political process, which must be given "new impetus".
    He said there was the risk of an "ever more violent clash" between the country's warring factions.
