No fly zone on Libya

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

The decision of slapping no fly zone over Libya is a very positive step taken by Arab League yesterday. It will help in preventing the lives of civilians from more casualties.

It is true, Arab people, leaders and Arab government were not ready to take this decision in very hasty manner, but there was no way except of that; because Muammar Gaddafi is not ready to lessen the appeal of Arab leaders in not targeting the civilians.

Various appeals and requests to Muammar Gaddafi for preventing of using excessive force against civilians leave no effect there. Every day the casualties of civilians are growing and some parts of Libya are presenting the scene of destruction and chaos.

The people of Libya themselves, whether they are from opposition party or from the supporters of Muammar Gaddafi do not want to push their country into war or foreign troops land there. But looking the current situation, it seems that Libya is moving into a long war.

If Mr. Muammar Gaddafi and his family members love their country, it is better for them to bring this violence and bombardment to an end and save their country from more chaos and disturbance.

This is the responsibility of Arab League to use all diplomatic ways to convince Muammar Gaddafi for not pushing the country into war or destruction. Violence and war do not represent any solution except landing this great country into loss and tragedies.

This is high time that all people of Libya work for unification of the country and work for its development and putting it on high level in the world in every filed.

I hope that Muammar Gaddafi will accept the appeal of world leaders and will resign from his post soon respecting the feelings of his people and Arab world.
