Muammar Gaddafi to stay in Zimbabwe….: RUSSIA’S envoy on the Libyan crisis has met Pres...http://www.gaddaf.com/NG2OUy
Speaking on Tuesday after a meeting with Mugabe,
a close ally of Gaddafi, Mikhail Margelov said the Libyan strongman was ready to relinquish power if he received security guarantees. RUSSIA’S envoy on the Libyan crisis has met President Robert Mugabe in Harare – fuelling speculation that the Kremlin has identified Zimbabwe as a potential exile destination for the beleaguered Muammar Gaddafi. “Gaddafi will be interested in getting guarantees about his personal security” before ending his four decade-rule of the oil-rich North African country, Margelov told Bloomberg. A coalition of Western countries led by France, Britain and the United States began a bombardment of Libyan military targets in mid-March after Gaddafi launched a crackdown to contain an armed rebellion by rebels in Bengazi, 965km east of the capital Tripoli.
The United States said in early March that it would not block the path if Gaddafi were to leave, and identified Zimbabwe as a possible destination. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said “no option was off the table”, adding: “If the violence could be ended by his leaving … that might be a good thing.” But Gaddafi’s exile could be scuppered by an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. He may seek guarantees that no prosecution for alleged war crimes would be pursued, further delaying his departure. Russia, which abstained from a UN Security Council resolution which authorised the use of “all necessary force” to protect civilians in Libya, has been critical of the bombardment while working to find an end to the conflict.President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday discussed an African Union plan to resolve the conflict in Libya with his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma and North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Russia’s resort of Sochi.
