歐盟考慮在利比亞執行安全使命

European Union foreign and defense ministers will meet late Monday in Luxembourg to discuss a plan to send security personnel to Tripoli to help train police and border guards for Libya’s new unity government.

歐盟成員國外長和國防部長星期一晚間將在盧森堡舉行會談，討論向的黎波里派遣安全人員的計劃，幫助利比亞新組建的團結政府訓練警察和邊防人員。

The security mission will only go ahead if requested by the Libyan Government of National Accord. Its first phase is to be restricted just to the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

只有得到利比亞全國團結政府的邀請，歐盟才能執行這項安全使命。計劃第一階段的實施將只限於首都的黎波里。

There is a growing urgency for Libya to be stabilized, with anxiety mounting that people-smugglers will exploit the chaos in the country and as many as 270,000 migrants may seek to travel across the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy this year. That would prompt a new phase in a migration crisis roiling Europe.

利比亞的穩定日益迫切。外界擔心人口偷運者會利用利比亞的混亂局面，今年將會有多達27萬移民從利比亞經由地中海前往意大利，讓歐洲移民危機雪上加霜。

Western fears are rising also about the expansion of an affiliate of the Islamic State terror group in Libya. U.S. officials told VOA they estimate the affiliate now has 6,000 fighters, mainly Tunisians and sub-Saharan Africans.

此外，西方國家越來越擔心伊斯蘭國一個分支組織在利比亞的壯大。美國官員對美國之音說，估計該分支目前已擁有6000名戰鬥人員，大多是突尼斯人和撒哈拉以南的非洲人。

The Libyan government has not given the green-light for the security mission.

利比亞政府還沒有對歐盟的這項安全使命表示認可。
