London, April 12: Britain says it would continue its military action in Libya unless there would be a genuine ceasefire from Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
“We will continue to take military action as required,” a spokesperson for Prime Minister David Cameron said.
“Any ceasefire deal needs to be a genuine ceasefire. That can only be judged by Gaddafi’s actions rather than his words or the words of anyone else for that matter,” the spokesperson added.
Recently, South African President Jacob Zuma announced that Gaddafi has accepted a peace ‘road map,’ suggested by the African Union to bring peace when the revolutionary forces and those loyal to Qaddafi become fatigue.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said no ground forces would be sent to Libya even if embattled Gaddafi would continue fighting with the revolutionary forces despite the military stalemate.
“There is going to be no ground invasion of Libya, that is forbidden by the United Nations resolution it is not what the opposition want, and it is not what we want,” Hague said.
He went on to say that Britain would no longer supply Libya revolutionary forces with weapons even if their fight with the forces loyal to Gaddafi would continue in western Libya.
“I think time is against the Gaddafi regime. There is no future for Libya now with the Gaddafi regime,” Hague said, stressing that Gaddafi would soon be expelled from Libya.
