Libya conflict: political coalition called no-fly zone

It sounds simple: The West could impose a no-fly zone over Libya and would preserve the insurgents, arguing the British and French. The federal government is skeptical of the plan - but the rejection front in Germany gets first small cracks. It is a debate that many governments want to avoid.

But the prolonged civil war in Libya, the greater the pressure on Western governments to intervene. While the dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi again began combat aircraft against insurgents in western capitals, the call for a no-fly zone will be stronger. In Europe, there is movement. France and Britain are clearly thinking about it and might want to bring this week in the UN Security Council a draft resolution on the common fly.


The Security Council will probably meet on Friday - after Libya's special summit of EU leaders. In diplomatic circles not expected that the EU position in Brussels to fly zones - the focus of further sanctions stood in financial transactions, they say. Before British and French present their arguments in New York, however, they must first pull the other key partners at their side - Germany, Russia, China.
