Cyprus, Russia, China and the African Union in Libya against the attack. Also criticized the Arab League

Germany, Cyprus, Russia, China, Venezuela and Iran. And not only. African Union and Arab League also expressed condemnation of armed intervention against Libya began yesterday from France, Great Britain, USA, Spain, Canada and Italy. The greek Cypriot President Demetris Christofias expresses its opposition to the use by the British air base of Akrotiri, which the RAF has on the island to take part in the bombing of Gaddafi: "In Britain, we said that we do not want Both bases are used, because we are against, "said the greek Cypriot leader also pointed out that the special summit in Paris yesterday, where it was decided the attack has already been authorized by the UN, has not raised a voice unified European Union.

"The Union is not unanimous," he recalls. "We could not reach a common position." Instant replication of the government led by David Cameron, "Akrotiri, the largest air base in London have outside the country, will not be used directly for the raid, but only for logistical support, such as reconnaissance and refueling similar to those already made for humanitarian evacuation of British citizens of third countries and Libya.

" There is no plan, he explained, "to accommodate the air forces of other countries" or "to deploy Tornado or Typhoon fighter-bombers." Russia not only deplores the military intervention in Libya, but come to ask for a cease-fire. Moscow, heading for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, published a note on its website and sets out its position on the war in Libya.

"Moscow - reads the text signed by Minister Alexander Likashevich - notes with regret that armed action, taken in conjunction with the hasty adoption of Resolution 1973 of UN Security Council" and yet "we demand the immediate end of this bath blood in Libya, to allow the initiation of a dialogue.

" Statements of regret that go along with those of the Chinese government. The foreign minister, Yang Jiechi, in a statement, reiterated "its firm opposition to China's use of force in general and in particular in Libya, fearing loss of life" and adds Yang "the Chinese government does not agree with the use of force in international relations.

" Beijing had already announced its position at the UN abstaining on the vote in the Security Council on the establishment of organizations united no-fly zones, saying he had "serious reservations" on a draft presented by Britain, France, the United States and the Arab League . It must be said that the Resolution 1973 passed, however, because China and Russia abstained and did not exercise the right of veto.

The Arab League, however, despite having voted for the resolution, it assumes a position of opposition from "the international coalition air raid on Libya, which have gone beyond their goal." According to the League Secretary General Amr Mussa, instead "to impose a no fly zone", the coalition went further: "What we want is to protect civilians, not to bomb other," says Mussa.

The resolution passed in fact, says the ban on any kind of "invasion and occupation - still says the general secretary -. The protection of civilians does not require military operations. " For these reasons, Mussa will meet tomorrow morning, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, who will arrive this evening in Cairo.

In the afternoon, the Secretary of the League scheduled for a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, waiting for this evening in Cairo. Possible in the next few hours an extraordinary meeting of the League. Responds to criticism of the Arab League a senior U.S. administration: "The military action of the United States and allied forces in Libya is justified by Resolution 1973 adopted by the UN Security Council.

"The resolution endorsed by the Arabs and by the Security Council refers to 'all necessary measures' to protect civilians, and that includes but goes beyond the no-fly zone," said an official in Rio de Janeiro during the visit Brazil's President Barack Obama. But a firm no to military intervention in Libya against the Rais also comes from the African Union.

Yesterday through the Mauritanian President Ould Abdel Aziz as the AU had said: "We reject any foreign military intervention in the country of Libya, whatever the form. The situation - continued - requires urgent action for an African solution to the serious crisis facing this country, brother.

" Although Tehran insists to support the revolt against Gaddafi in Libya and to be part of the "legitimate grievances" of the Libyan people, while expressing "doubts" about the true intentions of the West who have launched their attacks. "The position of the Islamic Republic has always supported the people and their legitimate claims," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast.

However, "the past action of the rulers countries (Western) to occupy the country oppressed always put into question their true intentions in this type of action. These countries - adds Mehmanparast - generally go into action with misleading slogans of support for the people when in fact pursue their own interests, and in particular to establish military bases in order to continue their policy and their colonial rule in new forms.

" Note of caution from the outset the position of Germany today while coming back to ask Libya to "comply with the request of the ceasefire made by the international community," he insists, on the other hand, called for "strengthening of sanctions against the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, "rather than continue with the armed intervention.

The German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, defends the German government's decision not to participate in military operation against Libya decided by the UN Security Council. American troops will be able to use German bases, "but the German Armed Forces will not be sent to Libya." Germany, for its part, will provide humanitarian aid for five million euro to the people who are on the Libyan border.

Point the finger at "the madness imperialist" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "We call for an end to aggression against Libya and against any nation in the world," said Chavez, adding: "Neither the U.S. nor France, nor England, none of these countries have the right to drop bombs on someone else.

What madness is this? E 'imperialist madness. " On 13 March, the Venezuelan leader had praised the position of Germany, Russia and China, as opposed to an intervention military in Libya, harshly criticizing the United States, Britain, France and Holland, in his opinion guilty of running "without brakes" to the war.

Finally, a group of members of the African Union that had to travel to Libya today to reaffirm the "immediate cessation of all hostilities, have not received permission to go to Tripoli. Today, the Union Committee met in Nouakchott has requested an "unqualified support to his efforts," stressing the "urgent need for African action to solve the crisis in Libya.

The committee - composed of Mauritania, Mali, Congo, South Africa and Uganda - has proposed a meeting March 25 in Addis Ababa, with the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), the European Union and the United Nations . The goal is to "create a permanent mechanism for consultation and concerted action" to risolverela Libyan crisis.

In a statement released after the meeting, the statement also called on "the protection of foreign nationals including migrant workers, Africans living in Libya."
