An African Union summit in Ethiopia ended with a call for NATO to halt all air strikes against Libyan territory. The AU Peace and Security Commissioner insisted that the strikes are going far beyond the UN mandate 1973 and are necessary to reach a political solution.
The African Union had previously tried to broker a transition deal in Libya which would lead to free elections and the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi. The Gadhafi regime even endorsed the deal, but it was halted by rebel opposition, stemming from the belief that NATO would eventually help them win the war without a negotiated settlement.
Indeed AU chief Jean Ping accused unspecified international players (presumably NATO members) of deliberately undermining the talks, saying that the nations were trying to leave the AU in “observer” status in the war.
The US once again rejected calls for a ceasefire today, vowing that the war would continue and saying that the calls were insincere. The Gadhafi government has reiterated its support for the AU talks.
US and NATO are a militarism regime…, there is no such thing as democracy exist in either NATO or US political institutions.., therefore they are after wars and dividing what ever they could get their hands on.., Libyan war is about the $32billion dollars Libyan peoples money which is supposed to be used for the development of African Union.., Qaddafi was going to make a deal with Russian and thats when Hillary Clinton started planing using Muslims brotherhood and their affiliated terrorist groups to start this war. This is the new version in world wide rubbery by US (democrats) and NATO militarism regimes. They have used their brutality in Iraq and elsewhere, they have over used their UN mandate in Iraq and elsewhere.., now they are doing it in Libya because there are resistance in Libya and money to be made in Libya.., there are peoples natural resources to be stolen by US/NATO.., thats the nature of capitalism government.
Go African Union.
Show the Western Murderers who are bombing Africa that it is time for you to take matters into your own hands.
HANDS OFF LIBYA AND THE REST OF AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST!
