Credit: Reuters/Youssef Boudlal By Maria Golovnina and John Irish TRIPOLI/PARIS | Tue Apr 12, 2011 3:24am EDT TRIPOLI/PARIS (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Tuesday NATO was not doing enough to protect civilians in Libya, the day after an African Union plan to halt the country's civil war collapsed. Juppe said NATO should target heavy weapons besieging Misrata, the rebel-held city in western Libya where an increasingly bloody siege by Muammar Gaddafi's troops led rebels to dismiss the AU call for a ceasefire as meaningless. "NATO must play its role fully. It wanted to take the lead in operations, we accepted that," Juppe told France Info radio ahead of traveling to Doha on Tuesday for a Libya contact group meeting. "It must play its role today which means preventing Gaddafi from using heavy weapons to shell (civilian) populations." When asked if NATO was doing enough Juppe responded: "It's not enough." The Red Cross said it was opening a Tripoli office and would send a team to Misrata to help civilians trapped by fighting, but one of Gaddafi's ministers warned any aid operation involving foreign troops would be seen as a declaration of war. Rebel leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil said after talks with the AU delegation in Benghazi in the rebel-held east on Monday: "The African Union initiative does not include the departure of Gaddafi and his sons from the Libyan political scene, therefore it is outdated." Gaddafi's son Saif quickly dismissed the idea of his father stepping down. "We want new blood, that's what we want for Libya's future. But to talk of (Gaddafi) leaving, that's truly ridiculous," he told French news channel BFM TV. "If the West wants democracy, a new constitution, elections, well, we agree. We agree on this point but the West must help us to provide a propitious climate. But all these bombings, this support given to rebel groups, all that is counter-productive." AIR STRIKES Libyan television said the "colonial and crusader aggressors" hit military and civilian sites in Al Jufrah district in central Libya on Monday. Rebels in the coastal city of Misrata, under siege for six weeks, scorned reports that Gaddafi had accepted a ceasefire, saying they were fighting house-to-house battles with his forces, who fired rockets into the city. Western leaders also rejected any deal that did not include Gaddafi's removal, and NATO refused to suspend its bombing of his forces unless there was a credible ceasefire. 1 2 3 Next World Russia Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

Will NATO continuing to openly violating the UN resolution by siding with the rebels, which basing on such refuse to stop the carnage?? Apr 12, 2011 2:38am EDT -- Report as abuse RAMFAITORI wrote: “Italy quarreled with other European Union governments on how to handle thousands of migrants fleeing the turmoil in Libya and elsewhere in north Africa”. I think there is no need for European Union governments to be worried about illegal migrants from Libya, at least at the moment, simply because most of foreigner workers and migrants have fled Libya since the beginning of Libya crisis. Furthermore, most of illegal migrants are from African countries, and if Libyan people find any African citizen in Libya at the moment, they will think he is a mercenary with pro-Gaddafi forces and he will be arrested. The main concern is the removal of Gaddafi from Libyan political scene. This will sort out not only Libyan problems, but also African problems. Let alone problems and conflicts in other parts of the world, which Gadaffi has supported.
