The U.S. president, Barack Obama, has analyzed the situation on Saturday in Libya in a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which has ensured that the North African country's dictator, Muammar Qaddafi must now let the power . "When the only way for a leader to stay in power is the use of violence against its own people, has lost the legitimacy to govern and should do what is right for your country leave now," said Obama Merkel , according to a statement released by the White House.
The conversation with German Chancellor has followed those held this week with other European leaders like French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, or the head of Italian government Silvio Berlusconi to coordinate their responses to the crisis in Libya and discuss appropriate penalties to impose the regime of Gaddafi.
"The President and the Chancellor shared his deep concerns about the continued violation of human rights by the Libyan Government and abuse of its people," stated the White House. Both "have reaffirmed their support of the Libyan people's demands for universal rights and a government that responds to their aspirations, and have agreed" on the need to hold accountable for their actions to the Government of Gaddafi.
" On Friday, Obama announced that his government imposed unilateral sanctions against the Libyan regime, and few hours later took the first step by signing a decree to freeze all assets of Gaddafi and his sons. The president has continued the debate on Saturday on the appropriate response of the international community to the crisis, and applauded the efforts of its allies, including the United Nations and the European Union, to "develop and implement tough measures." Obama and Merkel also talked about the pace of recovery from economic crisis and the need to implement effective tools to generate economic stability in the Eurozone, according to the White House.
