[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
VINEYARD HAVEN: US President Barack Obama said Sunday Moamer Kadhafi's 'iron fist' regime had reached a 'tipping point' and the Libyan 'tyrant' must leave now to avoid further bloodshed.
In a written statement, Obama also called on Libyan rebels who have surged into Tripoli to respect human rights, show leadership, preserve the institutions of the Libyan state and move towards democracy.
"Tonight, the momentum against the Kadhafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant," Obama said in a statement issued as he took a vacation on the resort of Martha's Vineyard.
"The Kadhafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator."
Obama said the surest way for bloodshed to end in Libya was simple: "Moamer Kadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end."
"Kadhafi needs to acknowledge the reality that he no longer controls Libya. He needs to relinquish power once and for all."
Obama also noted that the United States has recognized the opposition Transitional National Council as Libya's legitimate governing authority. "At this pivotal and historic time, the TNC should continue to demonstrate the leadership that is necessary to steer the country through a transition by respecting the rights of the people of Libya."
He called on the rebels to avoid civilian casualties, protect the institutions of the Libyan state, and pursue a transition to democracy that is "just and inclusive for all of the people of Libya." (AFP)
