torn by the standoff between fighters loyal to the un backed government in tripoli and rebel groups that control much of the country the civil war has been raging for about 6 years and libya is awash with arms despite the un embargo the new e.u. military patrol will replace the current naval mission. following discord over measures to help stabilize libya e.u. foreign ministers have reached an agreement critics were outspoken austria wanted to block a new naval mission for fear it would encourage more migrants to attempt crossing the mediterranean as they try to make their way to europe. first the sophia mission in the mediterranean off the coast of libya will be stopped secondly we've agreed that we want to military mission and not a humanitarian one and it will focus on the arms embargo the task of the original even naval missions sophia was to fight arms trafficking and people smuggling but it frequently rescued refugees at sea the new mission will involve aerial as well
