Libyan envoy to S. Africa calls on Gaddafi to quit
Another of Moammar Gadhafi's foreign envoys has called on the Libyan leader to resign. Libyan's ambassador to South Africa, Abdallah Alzubedi, spoke out after senior Libyan diplomats around the world rejected Gadhafi's regime. Libya's UN mission even supported the Security Council move Saturday to impose arms, economic and other sanctions against Gaddafi, his relatives and close associates.
"I would like for him to resign because it is in the interest of the people for him to resign," Alzubedi said, adding he and others at the Pretoria mission had considered resigning, but decided that would leave the people of Libya without representation at a time of crisis. Friday, his embassy issued a strong condemnation of the violence against demonstrators in Libya. (AP)
