Instability in Libya fuels European concerns over refugees crossing the Mediterranean. Stefan de Vries has more details.

STEFAN DE VRIES PARIS, FRANCE "The ongoing violence in and around the Libyan capital Tripoli is worrying European leaders. On Saturday, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the US issued a joint statement. They urged 'the armed groups to immediately stop all military action' and warned, 'those who seek to undermine stability that they will be made accountable for it.' The conflict in Libya started in 2011 when the then French President Nicolas Sarkozy led an international coalition to topple Moammar Khadafi, Libya's leader of forty years. A NATO operation led to the fall of the regime but a wave of chaos and violence in the country followed. It also led to a surge in refugees and immigrants arriving in Europe via Libya, and that's what's really worrying the European leaders now. The country is receiving European funding to prevent thousands of migrants to make the trip across the Mediterranean. Without a stable government, this deal will become worthless. If Europe wants to halt migrant boat arrivals on its shores from Africa, it must end the state of chaos in Libya. This is Stefan de Vries, CGTN, Paris."
