Qaddafi revives offer of vote to end Libya conflict
Vote on whether Muammar Qaddafi should stay in power, a proposal unlikely to interest Qaddafi’s opponents but which could widen differences inside NATO.
Pressure is growing from some quarters within the alliance to find a political solution, three months into a military campaign which is costing NATO members billions of dollars, has killed civilians, and has so far failed to topple Qaddafi.
Moussa Ibrahim, a spokesman for Qaddafi’s administration, told reporters in Tripoli the government was proposing a period of national dialogue and an election overseen by the United Nations and the African Union. “If the Libyan people decide Qaddafi should leave he will leave. If the people decide he should stay he will stay,” Ibrahim said. But he said Qaddafi — who has run the oil-producing country since taking over in a military coup in 1969 — would not go into exile whatever happened. “Qaddafi is not leaving anywhere, he is staying in this country,” Ibrahim said. The idea of holding an election was first raised earlier this month by one of Qaddafi’s sons, Saif Al-Islam. The proposal lost momentum when Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi Ali Al-Mahmoudi appeared to dismiss it. At the time, it was also rejected by anti-Qaddafi rebels in the east of Libya, and by Washington. Many analysts say Qaddafi and his family have no intention of relinquishing power. Instead, they say, the Libyan leader is holding out the possibility of a deal to try to widen cracks that have been emerging in the alliance ranged against him.
