Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Libya's prime minister said Tuesday that NATO airstrikes must stop before any negotiations to resolve the five-month old conflict there can begin.
His statement came as the United Nations reported a visit to the country by the secretary-general's special envoy to Libya found the government and the rebels "far apart on reaching agreement on a political solution"
Prime Minister al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, speaking to reporters in Tripoli, said that "this aggression must stop immediately."
"A cease-fire is a must before we can be able to have any sort of dialogue or solution to the Libyan problem," he insisted.
