A British navy ship was evacuating British nationals from Libya on Sunday, the Foreign ****** said, with worsening security problems forcing thousands of people to flee. Sunday's operation is likely to resemble the one used in 2011 during the bloody uprising which ousted dictator Moamer Kadhafi, when a Royal navy ship evacuated foreigners. Michael Aron, Britain's ambassador in Tripoli, said Friday he had "reluctantly" decided to leave due to the worsening local fighting. Libya has suffered chronic insecurity since Kadhafi's overthrow, with the new government unable to check militias that helped to remove him and facing a growing threat from Islamist groups.
