The International Contact Group on Libya agreed to set up a temporary financing mechanism''to help''the rebels and urged Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi to give up to let the people decide their own future. In a statement issued at the end of the Contact Group meeting in Doha, capital of Qatar, warned participants Gadhafi has lost legitimacy and should therefore be stepping down, it has maintained since 1969.
The agreement, established in the final document, drives a funding mechanism''''giving the opposition National Transitional Council of Libya, the representative body of the rebels, resources for short-term financial needs. The goal is to maintain basic services in areas controlled by insurgents, explained the British Foreign Minister, William Hague.
The agreement is to establish a temporary financial mechanism should be monitored and will use the funds frozen money from abroad to Gadhafi and his government to meet the needs of up to 3.6 million people. The Contact Group warned that up to 3.6 million people need humanitarian assistance in Libya as a result of weeks of clashes between forces loyal to Gadhafi and the rebels in various cities of the east and west.
At the beginning of the meeting, group members asked for more pressure against the regime of Gadhafi, but expressed their differences over the advisability of arming the rebels and intensify the bombing of the Libyan leader's troops. The next meeting of the Contact Group, established in late March in London, will take place in early May in Italy, the second country to recognize the Transitional National Council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
The Contact Group on Libya is composed of representatives of the allied countries in the international response to Gadhafi's regime and international agencies such as United Nations (UN) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
