Credit: Reuters/Amr Abdallah Dalsh By Edmund Blair and Alexander Dziadosz CAIRO/BENGHAZI | Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:54am EDT CAIRO/BENGHAZI (Reuters) - Diplomats will make a new effort to forge an end to the Libyan civil war on Thursday, after agreeing to call for Muammar Gaddafi to leave power but failing to forge a unified strategy to force him out. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Arab League head Amr Moussa and officials from the African Union and Organization of the Islamic Conference will discuss Libya at Arab League headquarters in Cairo. Though the United Nations Security Council gave a mandate last month to Western and some Arab states to attack Gaddafi's forces on the grounds of protecting Libyan civilians, the war has attracted hostility from other world powers. At a meeting in China of the BRICS countries, an official said all five leaders "condemned the bombings." In the March 17 Security Council vote authorizing military action, Brazil, Russia, India and China abstained. South Africa voted in favor. Foreign ministers from a group of Western powers and Middle Eastern states met on Wednesday in Qatar and jointly called for the first time for an end to Gaddafi's 41-year rule. Britain and France are leading air strikes against Gaddafi's forces, but have grown frustrated with the lack of support from NATO allies. After heading up the campaign in its early days, Washington is taking a back seat, and other NATO states are playing smaller roles. "Gaddafi and his regime has lost all legitimacy and he must leave power allowing the Libyan people to determine their future," the "contact group" of Western and Middle Eastern states meeting in Qatar said in a final statement on Wednesday. It also said the rebels' national council, "in contrast with the current regime ... is a legitimate interlocutor, representing the aspirations of the Libyan people." The wording was much tougher than at a conference two weeks ago and gave stronger backing to insurgents fighting to end Gaddafi's 41-year rule, but it papered over divisions among the allies on what action to take. British Foreign Secretary William Hague called for more alliance members to join attacks on ground targets and his French counterpart, Alain Juppe, called for heavier military pressure on Gaddafi's troops to convince him to leave power. But Belgian Foreign Minister Steven Vanackere said the March 17 U.N. resolution authorizing NATO action in Libya -- to protect civilians from Gaddafi's government forces -- ruled out arming civilians and he saw no need to boost air power there. The rebels said they were in talks with "friendly" countries to obtain arms: "I don't think there will be a problem getting weapons," national council spokesman Abdel Hafiz Ghoga told reporters in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. A French presidential source said Paris had no plans to arm the rebels, although it would not oppose other countries if they decided to do so. Britain said on Wednesday it would supply 1,000 sets of body armor from surplus British defense supplies to Libyan rebels, on top of the 100 satellite phones already sent. Rebels have reported heavy fighting in Misrata, their last major stronghold in the western part of the country, and clashes with Gaddafi troops east of Brega, a government-held port in the largely rebel-held east. 1 2 Next World United Nations Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
