Libyan opposition calls on EU to refrain from any military intervention

Libyan opposition's called the National Transitional Council today called on the EU to refrain from intervening militarily in the country to tackle the regime's offensive against the population. In a meeting with MEPs of the European Parliament's liberal group, Mahmoud Gebril, senior representative of the National Transitional Council has expressed his categorical rejection of international military intervention to "undermine the credibility of the rebels" and "be seen by the civilian population as a interference.

Gebril has been more open to a possible mission to fly, whether the United Nations as legitimate if not, that does not involve the deployment of international troops in Libyan territory. The opposition has asked the EU "all financial, technical and health" that can provide member countries.

Similarly, recognition of the National Transitional Council itself qualified as the opposition party. "History must build Libya Libyan hands" said opposition leader. The mission of fly is one of the options to be discussed on Thursday by foreign ministers and heads of state Friday and Government of the Twenty in Brussels.
