Will it work?--China and Russia’s diplomatic mediation in Libya

NATO-led warplanes struck offices of the Libyan state broadcaster in the capital Tripoli on Monday, an information ministry official said.


The two buildings lie some two kilometres (little more than a mile) from the city centre.


Libyan rebels have been pressuring satellite networks that air Moamer Kadhafi's channels saying that these "incite hate and violence."


Mawy is part of a Libyan law firm that has accused regime broadcasters -- including Al-Jamahiriya and Al-Jamahiriya 2 -- of inciting hate and violence by painting rebels as "terrorists" seeking to split the country in two.


Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, vice chairman of the Benghazi-based National Transitional Council, said Kadhafi's regime had "without a doubt used media as a weapon, as a bullet" to spread progaganda.


A NATO official said at the time that the alliance "had targeted military communication facilities which ... may have affected media broadcast capabilities in the country" but it does not consider state broadcasters a military target.


NATO has been bombing Kadhafi's military installations, communication centres and troops as part of a UN-mandated air campaign to protect civilians.

Russian envoy to meet Libya rebel leaders in Benghazi not travel to Tripoli


Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's envoy Mikhail Margelov will meet Libyan rebel leaders in their stronghold of Benghazi Tuesday but will not travel to Tripoli, an official said Monday.


Medvedev said at the G8 summit last month that he would be sending an envoy to Libya, as Moscow seeks to present itself as a potential mediator between the rebels and Moammar Gadhafi's regime and expresses growing alarm at the continued conflict.


But the fact that Margelov is not visiting Tripoli will limit the scope for Moscow in any attempts to bring about any truce between the two sides. Margelov, Medvedev's envoy for Africa, will meet Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council that controls eastern Libya around Benghazi, his spokeswoman Varvara Paal told AFP.


He is also to meet the rebels' military affairs chief Omar el-Hariri and the prime minister of the NTC, Mahmoud Jibril, she said. "He will arrive in Benghazi on Tuesday morning at 0800 (0600 GMT). But he is not going to visit Tripoli," she added.


Although Medvedev's order for Russia to abstain in a crucial U.N. Security Council vote essentially allowed Western-led military action against Gadhafi's regime to go ahead, Moscow has become increasingly angry over the air strikes. "The Russian president strongly supports the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Libya," Margelov told the RIA Novosti news agency. "The Arab world, Africa, and the whole international community needs a united democratic Libya."


In a sign of Russia's suspicion of Western interference in the conflict, Margelov said. "Libyans are capable of solving their own problems themselves." "A drawing-out of the armed conflict will worsen the humanitarian situation not only in Libya but also in neighboring states that are taking on Libyan refugees." "This all threatens a dangerous destabilization of the situation in the region," he said.


Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Saturday that the operation in Libya was "sliding towards" a land campaign, after NATO acknowledged that it had now deployed British and French attack helicopters.

China confirms contact with Libyan rebels


A Chinese diplomat met with the leader of Libya's opposition on Monday in Benghazi to discuss the conflict, according to an official of the National Transitional Council (NTC).


Idris Tayeb Lamin, a NTC diplomat in charge of African and Asian affairs, met with a diplomat from the Chinese embassy in Cairo on Monday and described the meeting as a very good beginning.


This move came days after China's ambassador to Qatar, Zhang Zhiliang, held talks with Libya's opposition leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil.


Ali Tarhouni, NTC's finance representative, told the Global Times that Chinese properties were being well-protected."The NTC made it very clear that we respect all contracts signed before the conflict," he said. "We try our best to protect these assets. But keep in mind, we are now at war, it is very tough to protect not only the assets of foreign companies, but also the assets of local companies."


Along with Britain and France, Italy pledged to provide the NTC with hundreds of millions of euros, but Tarhouni said the financial need has not yet arrived.


"They are all just promises, so far we have not received the financial help we need from our friends," Tarhouni said.


Chinese diplomats working in Egypt have met with the leader of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Monday.


Chinese diplomats have recently arrived in Benghazi. They observed the humanitarian situation, and contacted with Chinese companies and other organizations there. They have also contacted with the person in charge of the NTC, Hong said when responding to a question from the press.


China believes that all sides of Libya should put the national and people's fundamental interests front and center and take into full account the mediation plans of the international community so as to solve the Libyan crisis by political means.
