The Greek government due to the unstable situation in the last 24 hours decided to evacuate the Greek embassy in Libya.

The embassy staff will be transported by the frigate Salamis, which already sails to the region.

Reportedly is expected to arrive in Libya on Thursday afternoon and to receive a total of 87 people, including seven employees at the embassy and 80 Greeks who live in the county.
Men of special forces will be onboard in order to ensure the orderly withdrawal of diplomats and embassy officials.

France is also making a similar move and has decided the temporary closure of the embassy and the withdrawal of those in Paris are French citizens in Libya.
This followed the Saturday smuggled of the diplomatic staff of the U.S. in neighboring Tunisia, under the escort of marines and fighter aircraft while a day later British hit by gunfire during an attempted seizure of cars outside the Libyan capital.

The decision was taken under the weight of the latest developments in the country as militias and armed groups that contributed to the fall of the Gaddafi regime are fighting over who will have primacy in the “next day”.

Both groups during the fall of Tripoli ripped part of the arsenal of the regime and now show the destructive power.

However, the battle is for the exploitation of oil resources and the prevalence or otherwise of Islam in the country.

After the fall of the Gaddafi regime was an attempt to integrate insurgents on the payroll of the state, as security forces. But many of them chose to show loyalty to race or faction. The “weak” state never managed neither to limit nor to mainstream them into national security forces.
