Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron: Libya is a failed state if Gaddafi will not

The allies continue military operations in Libya until Qaddafi departs, they have secured a joint article in the U.S. and French presidents, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron. In addition, the leaders warned that Libya will be "a failed state 'if Gaddafi will not leave.

In the article, published in Friday's edition of the daily 'The Times' London, 'Le Figaro' in Paris, the U.S. 'International Herald Tribune' and the pan-Arabic 'Al Hayat', the three leaders point out that Gadhafi "must go, and go forever," so that Libya can form a new government. "While Gaddafi continue in power, NATO and coalition partners will maintain their operations so as to protect civilians and increase pressure on the regime," he explained.

Once the Libyan leader has left power, "may truly begin a genuine transition from dictatorship to a constitutional process that includes all headed by a new generation of leaders," the leaders highlight. Today, they add, Qadhafi continues to exert violence against its own people and launched bloody attacks on rebel strongholds.

Although the UN resolution that instructs the international community to protect civilians does not specify the progress of the Libyan leader, pointing, "it is impossible to imagine a future for Libya where Qaddafi continue in power." "The UK, France and America will not rest until the Security Council resolutions the UN has been launched and the Libyan people to choose their own future," he explained.

The article seeks to demonstrate the unity of the three leaders in times of internal strife within NATO about what path to take the mission in Libya. Cameron and asked Sarkozy earlier this week a mission more decisively against Gaddafi in the United States, which ceded control of NATO operations two weeks ago, has more weight, since otherwise believe that the conflict can enter a bloody stalemate.

The United States has flatly rejected enhance its role in operations. London and Paris came Thursday at the meeting of foreign ministers of NATO to be held in Berlin asking their partners more aircraft to attack ground targets of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, a job that primarily develop forces here.

The military authorities of the Alliance itself recognized in turn that would like to see more of these aircraft participating in the bombing, as reported to the ministers of the NATO supreme commander in Europe, U.S. General James Stavridis. However, the petition has so far been futile, as there has been no concrete offer, he admitted the general secretary ally, Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

The Libyan dictator's daughter, Aisha Gadhafi gave a speech on Thursday in which he made a call to his countrymen to resist the rebels and their allies. He said that "Whoever does not want to Qaddafi is not worth living." Military base was in Bab al Azizi, to the followers of his father, who said that "is at the heart of all Libyans." Took the opportunity to remember the 25 th anniversary of the air strike ordered by then U.S.

President Ronald Reagan, against Tripoli: "When I was a child of only nine years in this house of patience and courage, they fired missiles at us and tried to kill me. " "Then," continued the daughter of Libyan leader "in Libya they killed dozens of children, and now, a quarter-century later, are the very same missiles and bombs that fall like rain on the heads of my children and your children, as if to punish one generation after another.

" A team of four members of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has arrived in Tripoli, where he will begin work after obtaining permission from the Libyan authorities to establish a permanent presence in the capital, said Friday the humanitarian agency. From Tripoli, the ICRC intends to operate in the west of the country and bring relief to localities and Zauiya Misrata.

"Now that our specialists have arrived back to work and Zauiya Misrata, but also go to other areas," said Jean-Michel Monod, who leads the team in Tripoli. "We need to see and speak directly with those affected and respond to their needs. Having the support of all parties to help us achieve that goal," he added.
