Col Muammar Gaddafi 'offers to give up power in Libya'

Col Muammar Gaddafi has offered to give up power for the first time, but only if his hated son is allowed to stand as his successor, a Russian official claimed on Tuesday.

Western powers are seriously considering the proposal, which would include a guarantee of amnesty from prosecution for the Libyan leader, a senior official in the Russian leadership was reported as saying.

“The colonel has sent signals that he is ready to relinquish power in exchange for security guarantees and such guarantees are on the table,” the official told Russia’s respected Kommersant newspaper.

The purported offer comes amid speculation that Col Gaddafi is seeking to make a face-saving exit amid growing fears that shortages and poverty in the Libyan capital Tripoli were making his position untenable.

The official claimed that France supported the idea and had agreed to work both to lift an International Criminal Court indictment against Col Gaddafi and to unfreeze his family’s international assets.

But the offer was denied in Tripoli, with a senior regime official calling the report “simply untrue” and insisting that Col Gaddafi’s future was “not negotiable”. However, the Libyan government says it is engaged in talks with the rebels, a claim denied both by the opposition in Benghazi and by European officials.

Amid contradictory reports of various negotiations between the Libyan regime and its adversaries, western diplomats have warned that Col Gaddafi is engaged in a ruse to sow dissension in rebel ranks and to portray himself as an altruistic peacemaker.

Even if there was truth in the offer, it is likely to be unacceptable to the rebel leadership in Benghazi. Col Gaddafi reportedly demanded that his departure would be followed by elections in which his most prominent son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi would be allowed to run.

In a development that the Libyan opposition is likely to point to as proof of the regime’s insincerity, loyalist forces launched a sustained artillery barrage against rebel positions in the city of Misurata, one of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in the four-month conflict. Five rebels were killed and 35 more were wounded.

Các anh chị nghĩ thế nào về bản tin mới "Col Muammar Gaddafi 'offers to give up power in Libya'" ?

Độc tài Gadhafi đã không còn nhiều "đường đi" nữa rồi !
Tuy nhiên độc tài Gadhafi cũng chưa hẳn "đầu hàng", ông ta chỉ từ bỏ quyền lực ở Libya "only if his hated son is allowed to stand as his successor" ...

Trong trường hợp này, theo các anh chị "chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra" ???
