Libya’s unity government has been warning that IS could seize most of the country if action isn’t taken soon.

Ministers from the United States, Europe and the Middle East gathered in Vienna for talks with Fayez al-Sarraj, the Libyan Prime Minister.

His unity government recently established themselves in Tripoli, trying to end the bloody chaos that’s engulfed the country since the fall of Muammar Gadaffi five years ago.

The UN will have to lift an arms embargo against Libya before the unity government can be armed.
