Gaddafi Must Go: Cameron

David Cameron, the British prime minister, says that Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, has lost legitimacy to lead his country and that he "must go". Cameron was speaking to Al Jazeera during an exclusive interview on the sidelines of a London summit on the crisis in Libya


World Leaders Say Gaddafi Must Go

The United Kingdom has hosted a summit on the developing situation in Libya, with leaders from forty countries saying that Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, must leave the country. The British hosts of the summit said that they did not discuss arming the rebels, even though the French foreign minister said it was a subject that his government was prepared to bring up. What the UN, NATO, Arab League and government representatives did agree to, however, was to establish a "contact group" to coordinate all international action on Libya.

How refreshing it would be if these people were to be less hypocritical and more even-handed! Why is it more acceptable for the Bahraini élite to brutalise their own people, whereas it is totally unacceptable for the Libyan régime to do so? – © Mark
