Since the "Arab Spring," Libya has been divided into areas controlled by the temporary government, militia forces aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, and Islamic State (ISIS) - and it appears the UN has no intentions of returning stability to the fractured north African state and stopping ISIS's march in the country.
The temporary government, headed by Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani and centered in the eastern city of Al Bayda, has issued a call to the UN Security Council (UNSC), asking for immediate intervention to prevent ISIS massacres in the city of Sirte in the west of the country.
