French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, on Thursday publicly called for Libyan leader Muammar "Qadhafi and his clique" to leave the country, while showing their support for the opposition to constitute a government "representative and accountable." "Muammar Gaddafi and his entourage should leave," claimed in a letter to European Council President, Herman Van Rompuy.
"We condemn the use of force against civilians by the Gaddafi regime and call for an end immediately," he added in the letter. "It is clear to us that the regime has lost any legitimacy he may have" they said. The two leaders believe that support for the Libyan National Transitional Council (CNLT) must be "a strong political signal" to qualify as "true political partner" and "important voice for the Libyan people at this stage." While Paris has been the first country to recognize this Thursday, the CNT as "the legitimate representative of the Libyan people," raising the surprise of many European partners, the two leaders believe that the EU should "send a clear political signal that we consider the Council as a valid political party and an important voice for the Libyan people at this stage.
" The two leaders write that the two countries "are committed to the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national unity of Libya." Cameron Sarkozy recalled that France and Britain work together on the elements of a Security Council resolution [UN] "to cease the use of force and have been" willing to provide support to all eventualities depending on the evolution of the situation, based on a proven need, a clear legal basis and strong regional support.
" "This could include a no-fly zone or other options to prevent air strikes," continues the letter.
