Tripoli, April 11: Muammar Gaddafi agreed to a “road map” proposed by African leaders to end hostilities with the Libyan rebels, as NATO air raids attacked his military’s positions and helped the opposition push back his forces advancing on the opposition strongholds in the east.
While the terms of the ‘road map’ were not clear, the rebels said there was no question of a truce that leaves the Libyan strongman in power.
Jacob Zuma, the South African president who is part of the delegation of African Union leaders in Libya, said they had discussed with Gaddafi the issue of stopping of air attacks by NATO to “give ceasefire a chance”.
“We have completed our mission with the brother leader, and the brother leader’s delegation has accepted the road map as presented by us,” Zuma said.
