#Libya's Foreign Minister urges the US to take clear stance regarding Tripoli offensive

"We don't care" isn't clear enough?

#5  While it's calvinball with heads over there, 'warlord' Haftar is using mercenaries, independents, gangs, ex-terrorists and everyone he can enlist to fight the UN backed GNA and affiliated islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. The islamists have good representation, and better lawfarers and the UN. Turkey supports the GNA. Russia covertly supports Haftar. The latter gets painted as an evil bastard because he won't take prisoners and won't bother about innocent collateral. Also, the MSM goes with what the UN says.

Quite a mess. Trump rightly said, America don't have any stake in this other than if it comes to terrorism in your domain.

#4  If I had to buy a jersey, it'd be Team Haftar - pissing off all the right people and told Team Turkey to eff off or get blasted.

#3  "We don't care" isn't clear enough?

Simple declarative sentence. Not bureaucratese at all. Howzabout:
"Never have we heard of such a harsh and brutal injustice that we cared so little about."

Could someone remind me who is fighting whom? I've kinda sorta lost track.

How about: "Call the EU, they are the diplomacy experts or so they say...."
