The European diplomat, Catherine Ashton, has called the Libyan "in contention" deploring "all acts of violence" in this country that is suffering for a week protests harshly repressed by the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. "I deplore all acts of violence and I urge everyone to containment," said Lady Ashton during a press conference in Cairo after talks with Egyptian officials.
Without naming directly to Qaddafi, has called on the country's authorities to respect human rights and freedom of expression. He added that the EU will meet in Brussels to discuss measures to be taken. The Europeans seem so far divided on the appropriateness of adopting sanctions against the Libyan regime, some countries fear that the measure will turn against its residents in the African country, or to Malta and Italy, to open the floodgates of illegal immigration.
On Monday, foreign ministers of the EU condemned the "crackdown on demonstrators in Libya" and demanded that the country's authorities to "immediately" the use of force, but avoided talk of sanctions on the regime of Gaddafi. About the situation in Egypt, where the popular revolt led to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, February 11, Ashton said impressed by the number of times their partners said the word "transparency." Ashton met with Prime Minister Ahmad Chafic, Foreign Minister Ahmad Aboul Gheit, Minister of Finance, Samir Radwan, and members of the opposition and civil society youth.
"I have come to present the congratulations of eutopic to Egypt," he said.
