The president of the National Transitional Council (CNT) of Libya, Mustafa Abdelyalil, figures today in about 10 thousand killed by the conflict in Libya and asked the allied coalition under NATO command greater protection, since the current air strikes " are not sufficient. " Abdelyalil appeared today in Rome with the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, following a meeting in which the leading opponents of the regime of Moammar Gadhafi told the Italian authorities of the current conflict situation.
"The president Abdelyalil told us about 10 000 deaths in Libya, victims of a bloody regime, and between 50 000 and 55 000 wounded, "Frattini said in a press appearance broadcast live on television. Given the hefty death toll, the NLC president called on countries participating in the allied coalition to facilitate the Libyan people greater protection, and compliance with resolution 1973 of the United Nations.
The current air strikes on Libya "are not sufficient and thus there is no total protection of civilians," said Abdelyalil, noting that "it is necessary to find out what tools can facilitate the Libyans to allow them to defend ". During the meeting, which precedes the Libyan rebel leader will keep tomorrow in Paris with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, and Abdelyalil Frattini also spoke of attending the wounded.
Frattini, who expressed his Government's commitment to continue the move to Italian hospitals more wounded in the conflict, said that in the event of their lives in danger, would also help Gadhafi's followers, since this is the " seeds of democracy. "" We promised the president Abdelyalil that significantly increased the number of severe diseases that can be transferred to Italian hospitals.
Abdelyalil spoke a hundred serious injuries and I think it's possible, "said the minister." We are assessing sending a new team of Italian doctors specialized care for serious injuries that can not be transferred (...). We have doctors and nurses working in Italian high-risk conditions in Libyan hospitals, "he added.
The Italian foreign minister said, moreover, the commitment expressed by President of the CNT to "move from Libya which took power sitting on a car armed to Libya which came to power in polls ". Therefore, Frattini said he was "confident" of having done the right thing by recognizing the CNT as its sole interlocutor in Libya, which should be done soon, he said, other countries.
During the joint appearance in Rome, Foreign Minister confirmed the invitation to the CNT to the meeting of the Contact Group on Libya to be held in Rome on May 2. "I hope (the meeting) will achieve two important results activation of international legal instruments to allow the sale of petroleum products, suppliers and international buyers with transparent financial instruments, "said Frattini.
Another issue that Italy wants to settle in the meeting by international financial methods, "which can be made available to the Libyan people through the CNT sums of money from frozen financial assets" owned by the Libyan people and not the regime or of Colonel Gadhafi, "he added. The minister explained that his Government favored the sending of "technical tools" to the Libyan people as radar, although the issue of facilitating weapons is something we must confront the entire international community, since "the UN resolution 1973 does not prohibit aid in terms of self defense.
