| Libyan Embassy in Sana'a Raises Transitional Council Flag |
| 2011-09-03 |
| [Yemen Post] Libyan embassy in Sana'a lifted the new Libyan flag instead of the green flag, which represented the regime of leader Muammar Qadaffy ...Custodian of Wheelus AFB for 42 long years... on Thursday night. Yemen has not yet announce its acceptance to the Transitional Council as the sole representative of the Libyan people instead of the Qadaffy regime, which collapsed after an armed popular revolution. Analysts say that raising the new flag of the Transitional Council holds an indirect acceptance of the authorities in Sana'a to the changes in Libya. Earlier this week, the Yemen delegation withdrew before the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... foreign ministers meeting to avoid recognition of the Interim Council of Libya. Today marks the 42nd anniversary of September Revolution, which Qadaffy took over rule of Libya. It was announced earlier this week the rebels in Libya are not in control over several key areas, including the city of Al Jawad, which lies about 126 km from the city of Sirte, Qadaffy's hometown. |
