TRIPOLI, Libya – Moammar Gadhafi's government has promised the U.N. access to the besieged rebel city of Misrata, a senior U.N. official said Monday, as Libyan government troops continued to attack Misrata with shells and rockets.
However, the Libyan authorities have not guaranteed a halt of hostilities during such a mission, said the U.N.'s humanitarian chief, Valerie Amos, who met with the Libyan prime minister in the capital of Tripoli on Sunday.

Gadhafi thinks he's been smart here by looking like the caring dictator, but by not promising to put an end to fighting while this takes place. He opened himself up to retaliation if any UN troops get killed. They could even use this as an excuse to put troops in to the country.edit on 18/4/11 by KrypticCriminal because: (no reason given)

So the fact that Gaddafi agreed to the ceasefire presented by Turkey and the African Union while the rebels declined means nothing?

And that's another thing. Is the Arab Leage afraid of a stronger African Union or something? Even on the ground level, the rebels (with Islamic extremist links) are basically hunting down the African population of Libya.

In respect to your link, would you openly endorse a full NATO operation involving ground forces and occupation ?

Which link?
And no, obviously not. NATO was designed as a Western alliance against the Soviet Union. There is no Soviet Union now and NATO is nothing more than an alliance of the West carving up the third world to their own liking.
I would rather see NATO disbanded.

Does anyone else find it strange that this story breaks a day after the rebels say they "Need ground troops" to save Misrata?
Rebels want ground troops in Misrata

Dunno, but thoughts wander deep in all this present world of # in areas such as Libya. I can't stand the thought of Canada being brought-in, it'll endanger freedoms and respect we have for all Countries. But, the UN Sec Coun passing the resolution, it's right that Canada provide on this occasion.
Simple and forward question, Should the U.N or E.U. establish a dual sate within Libya ?
