| African peace mediators arrive in Libya |
| 2011-04-10 |
| All the tribes who backed the rebels have now withdrawn their support, now that the rebels have invited in the Kuffr of NATO into what is essentially a civil war.The only way for NATO to make a difference is to put boots on the ground on behalf of the rebels, basically hold the the whole country hostage on behalf of the rebels. This appears to be what passes for planning by NATO. God help us all. A HIGH-ranking African Union delegation has arrived in Libya to try to negotiate a truce between Muammar Gaddafi's forces and rebels seeking to oust him. The peace mission came as NATO warplanes were in action against Gaddafi loyalists in the stricken port city of Misrata after regime forces killed at least 11 people there over the weekend, rebels said. The African mediators were welcomed by Gaddafi supporters holding the veteran Libyan leader's picture and waving the green flags of his regime. Presidents Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz of Mauritania, Mali's Amadou Toumani Toure, Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo, Jacob Zuma of South Africa, and Ugandan Foreign Minister Henry Oryem Okello, representing Yoweri Museveni, flew in to Mitiga airport near Tripoli. They joined the embattled Gaddafi for a photocall outside his Bedouin tent in his Bab al-Aziziya compound before being driven by minibus to greet a crowd of his supporters some 200 metres away and then leaving for an undisclosed destination. |

| #2 "Col Gaddafi 'accepts road map to peace'" Good grief. If this is anything like the Israeli-Gazoo "road map," we'll be tied up in Libya for the next 30 years. :-( |
