60. Opposition rep at AU-Libya talks says they will continue to engage with the AU--Al Jazeera

One of the two representatives for the rebels at the AU-Libya talks in Ethiopia said they would continue to engage with the AU to "find a solution that will lead to the aspirations of the Libyan people, including the departure of the regime".

"How can you have peace with him (Gaddafi) around? He is not a man of peace, he is a man of war and violence," Al Zubedi Abdalla, a representative of Libya's opposition, told reporters after talks with AU officials.

The AU has proposed a solution that calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities followed by a transitional period and political dialogue.

The rebels rejected the plan earlier this month, saying any settlement must include the departure of Gaddafi and his sons.

***But see Post #44 on what seems to be an AU "Roadmap" position that is evolving towards the position of the Libyan opposition.
