Libya has warned the European Union that it’ll suspend cooperation on tackling illegal migration from North Africa if it thinks that Europe is encouraging the pro-democracy protests. European countries have described the Libyan government’s armed response to the demonstrations as "______________". The EU foreign affairs representative is Catherine Ashton.

"I’m really worried about what’s happening in Libya at the present time. We’ve been urging restraint. We continue to do so. It’s very important. You look and heard for things from all ministers coming in that you’ve asked tonight. It’s very very important that its violence stops and they reach a dialogue."
