Gaddafi: Recognition of Rebels ‘Insignificant’

Strongman Gaddafi, really he is... When the dominant West announced that rebles have the legitimacy, Gaddafi takes it just as "insignificance" - and he is right - no foreigners can stand for Libyans, even it is Gaddafi, so Libyan people would decide to "ignore your decision". Gaddafi says to give NATO the "last chance", and he claimed that "we have 5 million Libyan ready to give their own lifes at any time" ---

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Friday said that the recognition by Western and regional powers of the rebel National Transitional Council was of no significance.


“Recognise the so-called National Transitional Council a million times: it means nothing to the Libyan people who will trample on your decisions,” he said in a message to thousands of his supporters in Zliten 150 kilometres (90 miles) east of Tripoli.


He was speaking after Western and regional powers meeting in Istanbul boosted the rebels by designating them Libya’s legitimate rulers, a move that gives them access to vital funds.


The fourth meeting of the Libya contact group also saw a fresh call on Gaddafi to go after more than four decades in power.


In a message relayed by loudspeaker, Gaddafi said he could not imagine the day when “the heroic Libyan people would be represented by a fistful of traitors who opened the doors of Benghazi to crusaders.


“Nobody can represent the Libyan people, not even Gaddafi. The people will therefore trample on your


Libya contact group recognises rebels, says Gaddafi must go

The Libya contact group recognised on Friday the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) as the country's "legitimate governmental authority," according to a statement seen by AFP.


The group of major Western and regional powers also urged "all relevant parties" to make efforts "for the formation of an interim government to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power," said the statement, to be formally issued at the end of a meeting in Istanbul later Friday.


It urged embattled strongman Moamer Gaddafi, hanging on in Tripoli despite almost four months of NATO-led bombings, to step down.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton took part in an international meeting on the Libyan conflict on Friday in Istanbul.


The United States formally recognized the rebel leadership in Libya as the country’s legitimate government on Friday, allowing the rebel government access to $30 billion in Libyan assets held in the United States. It is not yet clear how and when the money would be released.


The decision by Washington not only increased diplomatic pressure on Colonel Qaddafi to step down, but also held the prospect of funneling money to rebels to propel an offensive that has proceeded in fits and starts.


Although the officials expressed hope that the newly recognized Transitional National Council would use the money for traditional public services — to pay for health care and electrical power, for example — one of the council’s immediate priorities is arming and training its fighters so they can finally defeat the forces loyal to Colonel Qaddafi.



Canada says unable to free up Libyan assets


* Minister says hands ties on frozen assets

* Ottawa mulling line of credit to rebels


Canada cannot unlock frozen assets to help fund the Libyan rebels even after world powers on Friday recognized the National Transitional Council (TNC) as the country's legitimate government.


Foreign Minister John Baird said any attempt to free up locked Libyan government money unilaterally could run up against complex legal constraints and conflict with United Nations sanctions, leaving it helpless to act on its own.


"We believe that the overwhelming amount that's been frozen in Canada is under U.N. Security Council sanctions and so our legal ability with Canadian law is that we can't release it to either them (the TNC) or a third party until the security council lifts the freeze or makes another decision in that regard," Baird told reporters via teleconference.


Baird would not say how much money was held in Canadian banks, either inside the country or in subsidiaries abroad, but said it was "substantial."


Ottawa is looking into opening a line of credit to the TNC until the
