Credit: Reuters/Youssef Boudlal By Maria Golovnina TRIPOLI/DOHA | Tue Apr 12, 2011 8:39pm EDT TRIPOLI/DOHA (Reuters) - Foreign ministers meet in Qatar on Wednesday for talks on Libya's future, with some eager to step up air strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's forces, fearing the conflict could settle into a bloody stalemate. The international "contact group" will hear from representatives of the rebel national council based in eastern Libya, who show little sign so far of being able to dislodge the veteran leader from power in Tripoli despite the air campaign. Nor, after the collapse this week of an African Union-sponsored peace plan, was there any sign of compromise between the warring sides. Libyan government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim lashed out against the West's "imperialist way of thinking," accusing world powers of trying to impose political change on Libya. "We are ready to fight if it's necessary. Not the Libyan army but every man and woman and every tribe in Libya," he said in Tripoli late on Tuesday. Moussa Koussa, a former Libyan foreign minister who fled to Britain last month, will meet rebels in Doha on the sidelines of the contact group talks, the British government said on Tuesday. The contact group meeting comes amid reports of a deepening humanitarian crisis in the besieged, rebel-held western city of Misrata. "It is not acceptable that Misrata is still under fire and being bombarded by Gaddafi's troops," French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in Luxembourg on Tuesday. NATO took over air operations from a coalition of the United States, Britain and France on March 31 and the rebels have accused it of not doing enough. Insurgents said renewed artillery bombardments and heavy fighting hit Misrata on Tuesday. They said they had beaten back two government offensives but civilians remained under fire and short of food and medicines. Juppe said NATO must stop Gaddafi shelling civilians and take out the heavy weapons bombarding the city. "NATO must play its role fully," he said. Speaking after meeting European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg later, Juppe said the alliance should "exert the most efficient military pressure. We need to be more efficient." British Foreign Secretary William Hague said NATO countries should "intensify our efforts" and urged others to follow London in providing additional ground-strike aircraft. NATO, which is operating under a U.N. mandate to protect civilians, rejected criticism. "NATO is conducting its military operations in Libya with vigor within the current mandate. The pace of the operations is determined by the need to protect the population," it said. 1 2 Next World France Italy Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
