Bekijk Volledige Versie : Kaddafi overweegt vertrek volgens al-Jazeera
TRIPOLI - De Libische leider Muammar Kaddafi heeft volgens de Arabische nieuwszender al-Jazeera de rebellen in zijn land aangeboden om een volkscongres te houden om hem af te laten treden onder voorwaarden
Volgens de Engelstalige Saudische krant Asharq al-Aswat heeft Kaddafi een delegatie voor onderhandelingen naar Benghazi gestuurd, waar een door de opstandelingen opgerichte Nationale Libische Raad zetelt.
Kaddafi's eisenpakket zou onder meer een veilige aftocht en volledige bescherming voor zijn hele familie bevatten. Ook wil Kaddafi dat de raad geen documenten overhandigt aan het Internationale Strafhof (ICC) in Den Haag, dat onderzoekt of de Libische leider wordt aangeklaagd wegens grootschalig geweld tegen de burgerbevolking.

Dus er is mogelijk al een delegatie onderweg ? Pfffffioew, dat is goed nieuws op het eind van deze dag !
Hoe het verder uitgewerkt gaat worden ? En zal hij in Den Haag belanden ? Volgens dit plan dus niet. Maar het bespaart wel mensenlevens !
Das gek, net nu hij aan de winnende hand is. Ik zie niks op hun site:
Libyan forces strike back at rebels
Opposition fighters ask for help to fend off fierce counterattacks by Gaddafi loyalists aiming to retake lost towns.
Opposition fighters in Libya have been fending off fierce attacks by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, amid reports of a rising death toll.
Gaddafi supporters are moving eastward in an effort to push the rebels back and recapture fallen towns, with reports emerging that they have taken the central Libyan town of Bin Jawad.
The loyalists have moved on to the oil port of Ras Lanuf, which they had been bombarding with air raids.
Several people were reported to have been killed in Monday's battles, including a family trying to flee the fighting.
There has also been fierce fighting in the eastern city of Misurata, located between the capital, Tripoli, and Gaddafi's hometown Sirte, with reports of at least 18 people killed.
On Sunday, rebels were filmed celebrating their victory over Gaddafi's forces there, but it was short-lived as fighting ensued on Monday, with rebels saying they feared Gaddafi forces were regrouping for further attacks.
Valerie Amos, UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief co-ordinator, said in a statement that the Benghazi Red Crescent reported that Misurata was under attack by government forces again.
"Humanitarian organisations need urgent access now,'' she said. "People are injured and dying and need help immediately."
Witnesses also told Al Jazeera that Az-Zawiyah, west of Tripoli, was under heavy attack by government forces.
Meanwhile, Libyan state television has denied reports that Gaddafi tried to strike a deal with the rebels that would have seen him step down.
Gaddafi reportedly sent a representative to make a proposal to the opposition's so-called "National Council" based in Benghazi.
It is said he wanted guarantees for his and his family's safety and immunity from prosecution. The council apparently rejected the offer.
Heavy fighting
The report came as Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from the oil town of Brega, said government forces appeared to have "drawn a line in the sand" on the road to Sirte.
"If the rebels want to capture Sirte, they will have to prepare for heavy fighting along the way," she said.
At the hospital in Brega, 42 injured members of the opposition force were being treated, while at least eight were confirmed dead, our correspondent reported.
"The vast majority of those injured had been injured by their own weapons," she said, explaining that the rebels had little or no military training.
"People with no prior military experience, telling the soldiers that they want to fight and they want to fight in the anti-Gaddafi forces."
The government on Monday appeared to have solidified its control of Az Zawiyah. The city had been the closest to Tripoli in opposition hands.
An Az Zawiyah resident told the Associated Press news agency that government tanks and artillery opened fire on rebels around 9am local time and the attack had not stopped when he left the city at 1:30pm.
All entrances to the city were under government control and the rebels had been driven out of the city's central Martyr's Square and a nearby mosque by the heaviest attack in several days.
"The tanks are everywhere,'' he said. "The hospital is running out of supplies. There are injured everywhere who can't find a place to go."
For now, the Gaddafi government has managed to halt the rebel advance that began last week when fighters ventured beyond the opposition-controlled eastern half of the country.
Rebels plead for help
The rebel forces say they will be outgunned if the government continues to unleash its air attacks on them and are pleading for the international community to impose a no-fly zone to prevent this.
"We don't want a foreign military intervention, but we do want a no-fly zone," rebel fighter Ali Suleiman told AP.
"We are all waiting for one,'' he said. The rebels can take on "the rockets and the tanks, but not Gaddafi's air force''.
The US president said on Monday that the US and its NATO allies were still considering a military response to the violence even as Britain and France were drafting a UN resolution that would establish a no-fly zone.
Barack Obama said the US will stand with the Libyan people as they face "unacceptable'' violence. He also sent a strong message to Gaddafi, saying he and his supporters will be held responsible for the violence there.
William Hague, the UK foreign minister, said Britain is "working closely with partners on a contingency basis on elements of a resolution on a no-fly zone".
However, a British diplomat at the UN clarified that the draft resolution is being prepared in case it is needed but no decision has been made to introduce it at the Security Council.
The Gulf Arab states on Monday said they back a UN-enforced no-fly zone over Libya to protect civilians.
Hundreds if not thousands of people have died since Libya's uprising began on February 14 in an effort to end Gaddafi's more than 41-year rule, although tight restrictions on media make it near impossible to get an accurate number.
More than 200,000 people have fled the country, most of them foreign workers. The exodus is creating a humanitarian crisis across the border with Tunisia.
Gaddafi sends negotiators to Benghazi
07/03/2011
By Jamaal Al-Qasass
Cairo, Asharq Al-Awsat- Informed Libyan sources in the city of Benghazi, where the headquarters of the Interim National Council are located, which has recently put forth its candidates to administer the country in the coming period, have revealed that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi yesterday sent a negotiator on his behalf to visit the Council. [Via the negotiator], the Libyan leader declared his readiness to abandon power and leave Libya, in return for ensuring the safety of himself and his family.
The sources explained that Gaddafi's terms were as follows: The General People's Congress [Gaddafi's parliament] would convene to declare that Gaddafi had stepped down, and handed power over to the National Council. In return, Gaddafi sought assurances for his safety, that of his family, and his wealth.
In a telephone interview with Asharq al-Awsat, the sources revealed that Gaddafi demanded assistance in leaving the country, which he intends to do, and requested guarantees that he would not be pursued, either internally or abroad, or brought to face international courts.
Sources did not disclose the content of the Council's response, saying only that: "there has yet to be an official response to Gaddafi's demands, whether negative or positive". However, the sources said that the general popular trend at present is to reject all negotiation and dialogue with Gaddafi, under any circumstances.
The sources also revealed that Colonel Gaddafi had yesterday distributed a quantity of weapons and ammunition amongst the "Abna al-Rafaq", a group of young loyalists in Tripoli who are affiliated with leaders of the Revolutionary Committees, in a move which the sources termed part of the "Gaddafi Maneuvers". By doing so, Gaddafi is seeking to deliberately confuse matters, and spread chaos, in order to blur the picture of what is happening in Libya in front of the foreign media and observers.
The sources said that these youths are taking to the streets of Tripoli and firing bullets in order to spread terror and confusion amongst the citizens, and amidst the ranks of journalists and foreign correspondents, who were initially invited to the Libyan capital by the Gaddafi regime.

Wie gelooft hier Khadaffi nog? :maf2:
Ik geloof dat ie heftig in de aanval is.
Ik heb eigenlijk nooit begrepen hoe het in Lybië in één keer uit de hand liep. Itt. de buurlanden namen de betogers meteen steden / het gezag over en bewapenden ze zich. Dat maakt ze eigenlijk nog kwetsbaarder dan als ze geweldloos waren gebleven.
Maja, waar moet je tegen demonstreren als er geen gezag meer is.
Nu zijn ze gewoon partij in een burgeroorlog. En een zwakke, ongeorganiseerde partij ook nog. Nou moet het buitenland eraan te pas komen om te voorkomen dat ze worden afgeslacht.
En ze wilden nou juist geen interventie. Nou ja, wel no fly, alsof dat geen interventie is. Ik denk trouwens niet dat dat veel uitmaakt, Gadaffi heeft dat anderhalve vliegtuig dat ie gebruikt niet nodig. Az-Zawiyya ligt al aan puin, als ik het goed begrijp.
Bizarre, gruwelijke situatie.
Libische opstandelingen geven Kadhafi nog 72 uur
De Libische opstandelingen zullen Kadhafi niet vervolgen voor de misdaden die hij heeft gepleegd, als hij binnen 72 uur aftreedt. Dat heeft het hoofd van de Nationale Libische Raad gezegd tegen persbureau Reuters.
"Als hij onmiddellijk vertrekt uit Libië, binnen 72 uur, en stopt met de bombardementen, zullen wij als Libiërs het niet langer nastreven om hem te vervolgen voor de misdaden die hij heeft gepleegd." Dat zei Mustafa Abdel Jalil, een ex-minister van Justitie, aan Al Jazeera via de telefoon. Hij benadrukte dat de deadline van 72 uur niet zou worden verlengd.
Slagkracht
De kans dat het ultimatum veel indruk zal maken op Kadhafi is vrij klein. De opstandelingen missen eenvoudigweg de militaire slagkracht om hun eisen met reële dreiging te ondersteunen. De hoofdstad Tripoli is nog altijd een bolwerk van Kadhafi-aanhangers. Een goed gecoördineerde, succesvolle aanval van de opstandelingen lijkt daarom uitgesloten.

Vlag revolutie op consulaat Libië
Het Libische consulaat in Den Haag heeft de groene vlag van Kadhafi vervangen door de revolutionaire vlag. Die rood-zwart-groene vlag is van vóór 1969,toen Kadhafi door een staatsgreep aan de macht kwam.
De vlag staat symbool voor de opstand tegen de dictatuur van Kadhafi. Het hijsen van de vlag was een initiatief van de Libische Mensenrechten Liga. Die organiseert in Den Haag geregeld demonstraties tegen Kadhafi.
De Liga heeft het consulaat verzocht om de driekleur te hijsen. De consul heeft aan het verzoek gehoor gegeven, aldus een woordvoerder van Liga. Het consulaat was niet bereikbaar om commentaar te leveren.
Ambassades
Sinds de opstand in Libië begon, zijn veel Libische ambassadeurs overgelopen naar de oppositie.

Khadaffi heeft zijn land overspoeld met vuurwapens. Dat keert zich nu tegen hem. Bijna iedereen heeft er 1
