United States raised the tone against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi and Libya called for the expulsion of the Human Rights Council United Nations (UN). The decision, which will be debated today in Geneva, is the first concrete step taken by the Obama administration to repression in the African country.
Philip Crowley, a spokesman for U.S. diplomacy, said that "soon" take a decision on possible direct or multilateral sanctions against the regime of Gadhafi. At the meeting in Washington today will support the creation of a commission to investigate Libya for "serious and systematic human rights violations committed by the authorities," according to an official who requested anonymity.
Obama addressed the issue by telephone with their peers in the United Kingdom and France, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy, respectively. Minutes after the call to the Elysée Palace issued a statement that Sarkozy and Obama said that "demand the immediate cessation of the use of force" in Libya.
But the Obama administration has broken with the Gadhafi regime, indeed the political responsibility of the Department of State William Burns, met twice by phone with Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Kousser. Although not revealed the contents of the calls, they could be related to the fact that 167 Americans were stranded aboard a ship in the port of Tripoli.
The boat could not sail because of bad weather. Meanwhile, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi made it clear he does not intend to relinquish power and urged people to fight the rebels. "I have no official position to resign, I am the leader of the revolution. He ceded power in 1977 and now I have more than a moral power.
The power is in the hands of the people and its committees and I am not responsible for the deaths and destruction. " In a televised message, Gadhafi called on citizens to take to the streets and capture the leading protesters, also acknowledged that his country is moving toward civil war.
The rebellion spread to Libya and the west and south, where new cities like Koufra are taken by opponents of the regime. That has not stopped the repression, yesterday one of the brigades loyal to Gadhafi attacked the rebels in the town of Zouiya, located about 100 kilometers from the capital.
The reports speak of 100 dead and dozens injured. Still another battalion headed by the minister of defense and Gadhafi's son, was perpetrated by an assault on the village of Mesrata, according to the electronic journal "Quryna."

Cable information was provided by the head of the Libyan Investment Authority, Mohamed Spades, adding that most of those 32 billion "is in stores will give us good returns over the long term." The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that at least 30 000 people, mostly migrant Tunisians and Egyptians, have fled to Libya because of the violence.
The flow is growing, but consists mostly of foreigners and so far only includes about 325 Libyans, according to the agency. "At least 30 thousand people have come by both land borders with Tunisia and Egypt," said IOM spokeswoman , Jemini Pandya. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has urged all countries to keep their borders open to people fleeing the violence.
According to IOM data, the 15 000 people crossed into Tunisia, the vast majority were very Tunisians. "A thousand Egyptians, 830 Chinese and 300 Libyans are also among them." Among those fleeing are diplomats from several countries decided to leave Tripoli. Meanwhile, IOM is concerned said that no evidence of large numbers of people in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia towards abandoning Libya Tunisia and Egypt.
"This is probably because they do not have the resources to pay for transportation, many countries without adequate resources to evacuate their citizens are now seeking help from the IOM," said Laurence Hart, head of the IOM Mission in Libya. Muammar Gadhafi, 27, leads a peaceful coup that overthrew King Idris I and seized power, establishing itself as a leader and guide of the Libyan revolution.
Gadhafi began a series of political changes and proclaimed a socialist government system known as the Jamahiriya (State of the Masses), which includes corporate nationalism. Muammar increases its support for groups considered terrorists by the West, including radical Palestinian factions.
Libya is involved in the bombing at the discotheque "La Belle" in Berlin frequented by U.S. troops. Washington responds with a bombing that killed Gadhafi's daughter. A bomb explodes in an airliner Pan Am over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people on board. He immediately points to the Libyan regime is responsible.
United States, Britain and France accuse Libya of terrorism and undertake a range of sanctions that isolate the country. Authorities handed over to Scotland for two Libyans suspected of bombing Pan Am flight Libya acknowledged its responsibility for the air bombing over Lockerbie and agrees to pay compensation for each of the victims.
Gadhafi program waives its weapons of mass destruction. The UN lifts sanctions imposed upon him. Protests erupt against the regime, which until now remain.
