VLADIMIR BLAST WEST, AU OVER ROLE IN LIBYA

The Head of the International Affairs Department at the University of Ghana, Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso has blasted the West especially NATO and the UN for their role in worsening the situation in Libya. He explains that the UN should have resorted to negotiation with Muammar Gaddafi rather than assisting the rebels with arms and weapons to attack Gaddafi and his family. Dr. Vladimir Antwi Danso made these statements in reaction to Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s statement that he will continue to fight his enemies, in an audio message carried by a loyalist TV channel. In a 10 minutes audio message Gaddafi says the Libyan people cannot kneel, cannot surrender, we are not women hence he will not surrender. He also says the AU failed to resolve the issues in Libya when they held an emergency meeting last week. But Dr Vladimir Antwi Danso believes that due to the one sided position taken by the Western countries it will be difficult for peace to prevail.
