Washington. .- The President of USA. UU., Barack Obama and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, today mentioned the option of a no-fly zone from the range of possibilities to pressure to leave the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Cameron and Obama spoke by phone Tuesday to tackle international coordination against the repression that the Libyan regime carried out against the rebels demanded the departure of Gaddafi, the White House said in a statement.
Both agreed that the common goal must be "an immediate end to violence and brutality, the progress of Gaddafi as soon as possible and a transition that meets the aspirations of the Libyan people to freedom, dignity and representative government" according to the White House. The two politicians agreed to go ahead with the planning, also within the Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the full range of possible responses to the situation, "including monitoring, humanitarian aid, enforcement of the arms embargo and a no-fly zone.
" Obama and Cameron in conversation also touched on the situation in Egypt and agreed to continue their support for this country to conduct a peaceful democratic transition. Also discussed the progress of the war in Afghanistan and reaffirmed the importance of international efforts to promote peace and stability in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
While Obama and Cameron talked, told reporters the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said about the possibility of imposing a no-fly zone "there are complexities and realities involved in the adoption and implementation of a measure like this to keep in mind when we plant. " "It's an option that we considered active, but is also an option that involves complexities that we all have to realize," added the spokesman.
The option of an air exclusion zone seems to have regained strength after last week the U.S. government expressed little appetite for this measure. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, warned in an appearance before Congress against "loose talk" about an exclusion zone. "Let's call things by their name.
An air exclusion zone begins with an attack against Libya to destroy its air defenses," the defense secretary on Wednesday. But faced with the apparent reluctance of the Administration, have urged U.S. lawmakers to impose this measure to protect civilians against Libyan air attacks by supporters of Gaddafi.
Today's conversation between Obama and Cameron is the latest so far in a series between the U.S. president and EU leaders, which are also included leaders such as French head of state, Nicolas Sarkozy, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to coordinate the response to the violence of the regime of Libyan leader.
