Abdul-Ilah al-Khatib, the UN special envoy to Libya, urged the regime of Muammar Gaddafi for the establishment of a cease-fire and access to humanitarian assistance in cities affected by the crackdown. Libyan government officials told the UN envoy that they were "ready to cooperate", reported the spokesman for the organization, Martin Nesirky.
According to the official Libyan agency JANA, the Libyan prime minister, Baghdadi Mahmoudi said, on receiving Mr. Al-Khatib, the regime wanted "a cease-fire to coincide with an immediate halt to the bombing of the NATO ". The Prime Minister also added that his country was committed to the unity of its territory and its people, and that the Libyans had the right to "decide their affairs and their political system through a dialogue Democratic away from bombing and threat.
" In addition, he denounced the "abuses and violations" committed by NATO in Libya, citing "political assassinations, the siege Marine unjust, the bombing of civilian sites and destruction of infrastructure". Mr. Al-Khatib visited Tripoli for a visit one day, while the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke by telephone with Mr.
Mahmoudi. He met with Libyan Foreign Minister, Abdelati Al-Obeidi, and tribal leaders supporting the plan, but failed to meet Muammar Gaddafi himself. NATO must expand its range of targets in Libya under penalty of failing to oust him from power Colonel Gaddafi, says General David Richards, Chief of Staff of the British Army, in an interview Sunday Telegraph.
"If we do not bet, Gaddafi may cling to power," said he. "For now, NATO does not attack the infrastructure in Libya. But if we want to increase pressure on the regime of Gaddafi, it should seriously consider broadening the scope of our objectives," the head of British staff. In his interview, General Richards notes that the Alliance does not seek to directly reach the Libyan leader, but "if he finds it in a command center during a raid and is killed, it did nothing illegal.
" Reacting to the BBC about General Richards, the British defense minister, Liam Fox, said: "I think he wanted to understand a number of NATO member countries are not very satisfied some selected targets and some of the buildings destroyed. "
