Change of plan: The Hague can have Gaddafi, say rebels
BENGHAZI, LIBYA - Jul 04 2011 13:40
Muammar Gaddafi (AP)
The head of Libya's rebel council said on Monday that there was now no
possibility of Muammar Gaddafi being granted internal exile in Libya, following
an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for his arrest.
Mustafa Mohammed Abdel Jalil, chairperson of the National Transitional Council
(NTC), said: "There is absolutely no current or future possibility for Gaddafi
to remain in Libya."
Jalil confirmed that such an offer had been made but said it was now null and
void.
"There is no escape clause for Gaddafi -- he must be removed from power and
face
justice."
As news surfaced of the prospect of the NTC allowing Gaddafi to stay in Libya,
there was anger on the streets of the rebel capital of Benghazi on Sunday.
Around 100 people gathered in front of a hotel where a top NTC member was
giving
a press conference, a rare show of opposition against the council, which has
steered the east of the country since Gaddafi's troops were pushed out four
months ago.
While all senior members of the NTC insist that Gaddafi must leave power, there
is less unity about whether or not there should be talks to give the veteran
ruler a way out.
Insiders said there was a split between former members of the regime, who
believe talks could help moderate members of Gaddafi's inner circle advocate
his
departure. Some long-time opposition members, including many who have lived in
exile, are opposed to any kind of talks.
Oil security
Libya's rebel council also said on Monday that it would honour oil contracts
inked under Muammar Gaddafi's regime, at least during the country's transition
to democracy.
