South Africa President urged to push the UN to rethink on LIBYA case!

JOHANNESBURG (Xinhua) -- One of South Africa's opposition leaders on Wednesday urged President Jacob Zuma to call for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to review Resolution 1973 on Libya.
Bantu Holomisa, leader of the United Democratic Movement, said in an open letter to Zuma that South Africa's decision to support the UN resolution unwittingly gave support to military intervention by the West in Libya, the South African Press Association (SAPA) reported.
"The allied forces, which seem to be the military wing of the Security Council, are brazenly and openly using lethal weapons in their quest to protect the so-called civilians," Holomisa said.
He pointed out that recent reports show that these Libyan civilians are the biggest casualties in the conflict.
Holomisa added that the West's military action goes against the main thrust of the UN Security Council's resolution.
Although the Western allied forces did not have forces on the ground, it would appear they "have adopted the rebel forces and are giving them aerial cover in fighting the Libyan forces," he said.
He found it strange that the international community treats the bullets coming from the barrels of the rebel forces differently from those of the Libyan forces, as these are portrayed as the only ones causing harm and injury to innocent civilians.
The rebel Libyan forces have an unfair advantage over the Libyan forces due to their support from the West, he said.
South Africa is one of the countries tasked by the African Union to resolve the Libyan crisis, Holomisa said.
He added that the outcome of the UN vote is embarrassing because it gave the West permission to use military intervention against the African Union's resolution.
This contradicted South Africa's long-held foreign policy position on African conflict and African problems in general.Thought as JAR{Journalists for African Renaissance got source of faking stories mentioning in Uganda gave asylum exile to president Ghadafi if necesary, spokes person of Uganda government told JAR in there is no willing to give him exile in Uganda!

Libya's foreign minister defects - Moussa Koussa arrives in the UK & Resigns!!!!

Moussa Koussa, the Libyan foreign minister, has defected to the United Kingdom, the British foreign ministry has confirmed.
The ministry said in a statement that Koussa had arrived at Farnborough Airport, in the south of England, on a flight from Tunisia on Wednesday.
"He travelled here under his own free will. He has told us that he is resigning , and after hours he declared resignation !.
"We encourage those around Gaddafi to abandon him and embrace a better future for Libya that allows political transition and real reform that meets the aspirations of the Libyan people."
It added that Koussa was one of the most senior officials in Gaddafi's government with a role to represent it internationally.
Diplomats expelled: Earlier on Wednesday, the British government announced the expulsion of Libya's military attaché and four other diplomats in protest and for intimidating opposition groups in London.
A government source quoted by Reuters said the diplomats, believed to be supporters of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, have been given seven days to leave.
William Hague, the British foreign minister, told legislators the move was to "underline our grave concern at the regime's behaviour".


Hague also announced that a British diplomatic mission led by senior diplomat Christopher Prentice had visited the rebel-held city of Benghazi earlier this week, and met key opposition groups including Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the head of the rebel Libyan National Council.


On Wednesday, David Cameron, the British prime minister, repeated that line, adding that UN resolution 1973 allowed all necessary measures to protect civilians  he finalised, If the closest friend and the foreign affairs minister of Ghadafi for the last three years resigned easily Ghadafi government seems to be loosing power at any time from now Thought boms are heating Libya , Col.Ghadafi government have close relations with traditional leaders of Africa and some African countries yet supports who takes Patrol and development projects and oil money. Yet innocent civilians suffer to have out standing life  peacefully.

The 2011 Libyan uprising (Arabic: الثورة الليبية‎) is an ongoing armed conflict in the North African state of Libya against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule, with protesters calling for new leadership and democratic elections. The uprising began as a series of protests and confrontations on 15 February 2011. Within a week, the uprising had spread and Gaddafi was struggling to retain control across the country.^[26] Gaddafi responded with military force and other such measures as censorship and blocking of communications. With parts of the Libyan military in the east defecting, Gaddafi has reportedly recruited foreign volunteers to supplement his forces. Although Gaddafi has offered talks with opposition leaders through a chief envoy, the rebels have clarified that they are unwilling to negotiate with him, and demand that he resign.
The uprising escalated into armed conflict, with rebels establishing a government named the Transitional National Council based in Benghazi. International human rights organizations have documented severe human rights abuses. The International Criminal Court warned Gaddafi that he and members of his government may have committed crimes against humanity.^[27] In early March, Gaddafi's forces rallied, push eastwards and re-took several coastal cities before attacking Benghazi. The United Nations then declared and began to enforce a no-fly over Libya, to prevent the use of military aircraft against civilians. The United Nations Security Council passed an initial resolution freezing the assets of Gaddafi and ten members of his inner circle and restricting their travel. The resolution also referred the actions of the regime to the International Criminal Court for investigation.^[28] A further resolution authorized member states to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya.^[29] The Gaddaffi government then announced a ceasefire, but failed to uphold it. A collection of states began enforcing the no-fly zone on 19 March by disabling Gaddafi's air defenses.
