LIBYA - Paris takes up the cause of the insurgents

The views of Nicolas Sarkozy on 11 March are one of the several foreign newspapers. "Paris calls for targeted strikes on Libya," as the Financial Times (United Kingdom). "Sarkozy wants to bomb Libya," added the Berliner Zeitung (Germany). "France is the first country to recognize the Libyan opposition," announces L'Orient-Le Jour (Lebanon).

The daily Gulf News (UAE) as to greet him "a diplomatic victory for the Libyan revolutionary." March 10, Paris was the first capital to recognize the Transitional National Council of Benghazi as the only "legitimate representative" of the Libyan people. And on 11 March in Brussels, Nicolas Sarkozy would propose to its European partners to carry out "targeted air strikes" to limit the capacity for action of Gaddafi's troops, who seem to gain ground on the insurgency.
