Lusanda Bill
27 August 2011


President Jacob Zuma says the African Union will not yet recognise Libyan rebels as the new government of Libya.

Zuma called for an immediate ceasefire and said Tripoli was not yet under full rebel control.

He spoke as AU leaders met in the Ethiopian capital to discuss what action they should take regarding Libya.

The rebels have already been recognised as the legitimate authority by most of the world.
