Only eight of 28 allies conducting air strikes

Of the 28 NATO allies only eight, led by Britain and France, have been conducting air strikes against Gaddafi's forces, and a senior U.S. official warned that fatigue was beginning to set in among the aircrews already committed.

Some allies that have refused to take part in the bombing said they would not alter their stance.

"Germany sticks to its position, no military engagement," German Deputy Defence Minister Christian Schmidt told reporters.

Spanish Defence Minister Carme Chacon said Spain would keep up its role of helping to enforce a Libya no-fly zone and arms embargo, but would not undertake strike missions.

Non-NATO Sweden said it would scale down its role, cutting the number of fighter jets deployed to five from eight and switching their role from patrolling the no-fly zone to reconnaissance sorties.

Norway said last month it would scale down its air strike role after its three-month commitment ends on June 24.

NATO says its bombing campaign has greatly reduced the capacity of Gaddafi's forces, but analysts say the conflict could drag on for many months.

"I don't see them increasing the capacity of the rebels to enable them to defeat Gaddafi's forces in centres of power like Tripoli any time soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if NATO was there for years. I think it's 50-50 whether we end up in a frozen conflict and de-facto partition of Libya, with Gaddafi controlling part of it and the rebels the other."

Objective is removal of gaddafi and his regime aka protecting civilians!

........................................................................................................
The White House now says it will respond to congressional demands for a detailed explanation of US objectives in Libya, after seeming to brush off the issue days earlier.

The House last Friday passed a nonbinding resolution chastising Obama for failing to provide a "compelling rationale'' for the Libyan mission. The resolution demanded a detailed report on the operation.

Tripoli: The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court said on Wednesday he was investigating whether Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi provided Viagra-type drugs to Libyan soldiers to promote the rape of women during the current conflict.

Luis Moreno Ocampo said his office had "information that there was a policy to rape in Libya those who were against the government."

He told a news conference in New York after briefing the UN Security Council on Darfur that some witnesses confirmed the Libyan government was buying containers of Viagra-type drugs to carry out the policy, and "to enhance the possibility to rape."

"We are trying to see who was involved," Moreno Ocampo added.
 
Western-Arab talks to focus on Libya after Gaddafi

Western and Arab nations are to meet in the United Arab Emirates to discuss how events in Libya might develop if Col Gaddafi were no longer in power.

The so-called Contact Group is also expected to firm up its pledge to set up a fund to help the Libyan rebels.

The meeting comes as Nato intensified its air strikes on government targets in Tripoli.

BBC News - Western-Arab talks to focus on Libya after Gaddafi

AU na nchi za Kiafrika na viongozi wake wanatupwa nje ya mijadala ya Inayohusu hali ya Libya.
Ni wazi kuwa wengi wa Viongozi wanaona kinachotokea na kinachofanywa na NATO na US ni uhuni wa hali ya juu na hivyo hawaungi mkono.
Nchi za kiarabu vibaraka wa US ndio wako mstari wa mbele kuendeleza matakwa ya West na US katika hili la Libya.

Kuna watu wanasema AU ni goi goi, kweli iko hivyo lakini pia hawa West na US wako katika hatua ya kuhakikisha baada ya Gaddafi, AU na viongozi wote wa Afrika wanakuwa "allies", "friends", "partners" wa US na West. Kwa maneno mengine wanakuwa "vibaraka" wa kutekeleza matakwa ya US na West.

Na sisi "Miafrika" tutasema AU haina maana, bora life....kuna wengine tayari wanasema ni bora "mkoloni " arudi kuitawala Afrika...nafikiri their wish is being granted!

Cracks in the African Union as mediator calls for Gaddafi to go

June 9, 2011 | Filed under: International | Posted by: Newstime Africa

The recent call by the African Union for Muammar Gaddafi to step down exposes cracks in the continent’s public stance towards the Libyan strongman who has long championed its various causes, analysts say. The leader of the AU’s heads of state mediation team on Libya, Mauritania’s President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, said this week Gaddafi ‘s departure had become necessary as “he can longer lead Libya”. It was the first time a head of state on the AU panel, which has made several trips to Libya to try to negotiate a settlement to the conflict, has made such a direct public reference to the departure of the Libyan leader. ”Clearly more and more African heads of state feel they can openly express their dislike of Gaddafi ,” said Paul-Simon Handy, director of studies at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria. ”The facade of unity that the AU often likes to show on such issues is cracking,” Handy said.

Signs That Muammar Qaddafi Is Looking for an Exit

Only days after Muammar Qaddafi defiantly vowed to stay in Libya "dead or alive" in the face of intensified NATO strikes, there are signs today that he might be exploring an exit strategy. As foreign ministers from the 22-nation Libya Contact Group met today in Abu Dhabi, an aide to opposition leader Mahmoud Jibril told Bloomberg Television that Qaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, has reached out to the rebels in the last few days to negotiate a way for his father to relinquish power. "We are talking now of the last stage of this operation," the aide said, adding that the opposition won't allow Qaddafi (pictured above on state TV on Tuesday) to remain in the country even though he is "dreaming" of doing so.

At the same conference, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she is aware of "numerous and continuing" overtures by "people close to Qaddafi" to negotiate a political transition, though she can't say whether the deals would be accepted, according to the AP. Clinton added that Qaddafi's "days are numbered." Of course, both the rebels and the U.S. have every incentive to suggest that Qaddafi is increasingly hemmed in and desperate.

Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade, left, shakes hands with National Transitional Council chairman Mustafa Abdul-Jalil after their joint press conference in Benghazi, Libya, June 9, 2011

Senegal's president has called on embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to step down, saying "the sooner you leave, the better."

President Abdoulaye Wade spoke Thursday from the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi, where he met with officials from the rebel leadership council.

Wade said Colonel Gadhafi should step aside in the interest of the Libyan people. He added that he is someone who can help Gadhafi leave power, although he did not offer Senegal as a place of exile.

Senegal is one of several countries to have recognized the rebel Transitional National Council as the Libyan people's legitimate representative.

Mimi bado nashawishika kwamba kuna kitu public hatujui kuhusu uhasama wa ghafla wa Gaddfai na West.


  • Haijawai kutokea dunia kusaidia rebel kwa silaha hii imetokea kwa libya. Why Nimena youtube picha za Aljazeera wanapiga picha wanajeshi wa UK waki on groundj amaa alivyogundua walikula kona kwa style ya ajabu. So waati dunia inaambiwa the so called NATO haina troops on ground ukweli ni kuwa wapo.

  • Hatua walizochukua kwal ibya mbona hawachukui syria?

Simtetei na wala simpendi gaaafi lakini hii issue ya libya ina maswali mengi.
 
Nato na nchi za magharibi ni wanafiki na wazandiki wakubwa,tangu mwanzo nililaani haya mashambulizi ya kumwondoa kiongozi halali wa nchi huru,kisa eti mafuta,
Ghadafi bora ufie Libya kuliko kukimbia ufie nchi ya wageni
 
Kwani tatizo ni Ghadafi au mafuta ya Libya?.
Hizi propaganda ni bure.Ghadafi hawezi kufanya hivyo.Kwa upande mwengine ikiwa atabadilika na kufikiri kama hivyo basi wala vita havitasitishwa mpaka auliwe.Hajajifunza kwa ujinga kama huo aliowahi kufanya huko nyuma? na wala haikumpendezesha kwa akina US na NATO.
Ikiwa anataka aondoke kwa heshima ni kuondoka kwa kuuliwa au ajifiche mpaka mwisho awache hao watu wafanye wapendavyo wenyewe Mungu atahukumu.
 
kikubwa ni kwamba wao ndo wanataka wawe juu siku zote ila waswahili wanasema chenye mwanzo hakikosi mwisho..
Mungu Ibariki Afrika
 
AZIMIO LIMEBADILIKA KUTOKA NO FLY ZONE KUWA HUNT FOR GHADHAFI!..

A U.N. resolution justifies the targeting of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, a senior NATO military official with operational knowledge of the Libya mission told CNN Thursday

CNN
 
Ndoto zake za kuwa na Afrika moja, huku akikumbatia udikteta kwa wananchi wake zinamgharimu, anabaki kuwa miongoni mwa viongozi madikteta wachache waliokuwa wanakula na umma wote. hata hivyo nadhani kinachotakiwa ni kuwa na mfumo mzuri wa kiutawala na sio mtawala mzuri
 
Once Gadaff is gone, and new government is there and what will happen if new rebel will arise to oppose the new leaders?
NATO will be there to help opposition?
 
Inasemekana Gadafi anagawa viagra kwa wanajeshi wake ili wawabake wanawake wote ambao wapo against naye. hii ni style mpya . Ocampo amesema kuwa hii style imekuwa ikitumika na wanataarifa kamili kuhusu hili .
[h=1]Gaddafi gives Viagra to troops for mass rape to terrorise rebels[/h]London, June 9 : Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi gave Viagra to his troops and ordered mass rapes to terrorise rebels, the International Criminal Court''s top prosecutor has claimed.

"In some areas we had 100 people raped. The issue for us was, can we attribute these rapes to Gaddafi? Or is it something that happened in the barracks," The Sun quoted Luis Moreno-Ocampo, as saying.

"Now we are confirming that there was a policy to rape in Libya. It was never the pattern he used to control the population. The rape is a new attribute of his repression," he added.

Moreno-Ocampo also cited witnesses to insist that he Gaddafi loyalists were found buying containers of sex drugs to "enhance the possibility to rape".

He said he might now ask for a charge of mass rape to be made against Gaddafi.

The prosecutor has expressed hope that the judge will give his judgement within few days on his request for crimes-against-humanity charges against the Libyan leader.

In March, a Libyan woman named Eman al-Obeidi, had burst into a Tripoli hotel and told journalists that Gaddafi's troops had raped her .
