The Libyan government has rejected the calls for ruler Muammar Gaddafi to step down made by world leaders gathered at the Group of Eight (G8) meeting in France.
“The G8 is an economic summit. We are not concerned by its decisions,” Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaaim said the other day.
He added that any initiative to resolve the crisis in Libya would have to go through the African Union.
