Lusanda Bill
28 February 2011

Muammar Gaddafi has been asked to step down today by Libya’s ambassador to South Africa Dr Abdallah Alzubedi.

Addressing a media conference in Pretoria this morning Alzubedi said Gaddafi should do the right thing for the people of Libya and should take the decision to step down.

Meanwhile one hundred thousand people have fled Libya as Muammar Gaddafi holds on to power.

Members of the UN Security Council have meanwhile unanimously voted in favour of an arms ban on the country and sanctions against Gaddafi and his inner circle.

South Africa is supporting the sanctions made by the UN against Libya.
