Gaddafi accepts African Union peace plan, says Zuma

The South African president, Jacob Zuma, says Colonel Gaddafi's government has accepted an African Union peace plan to end the fighting in Libya.

President Zuma is one of four African leaders attempting to mediate in the crisis. They are now expected to meet with rebel leaders to discuss the deal.

The African Union plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, opening channels for humanitarian aid and talks between rebels and the government.

Mr Zuma said the peace plan is due to be put to rebel leaders in Benghazi on Monday.

Libya accepts ceasefire plan, says Zuma

Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz during a meeting with African leaders in Tripoli on Sunday. Envoys from the African Union, including South African president Jacob Zuma , are to hold talks with Mr. Qadhafi and rebels on Monday.

The African Union’s road map calls for an immediate ceasefire, opening channels for humanitarian aid and talks between the rebels and the government.

Mr. Qadhafi has ignored the ceasefire he announced after international airstrikes were authorised last month, and he rejects rebel demands that he step down.

Mr. Zuma says despite the divide, “We have to give the ceasefire a chance.”

The AU has no credibility for it is comprised of despots like Gaddafi. How many countries in Africa have true democracy? In most countries they have despots calling themselves democratic champions, so I don't expect much from this AU.
