Libya PM Agrees to UN Truce if NATO Stops Bombings
Regime officials have repeatedly agreed to past calls for a ceasefire, including a transition to UN-supervised elections. The East Libyan rebels have rejected such offers in the past, but might be increasingly open as it seems the war has fallen into a permanent stalemate.
NATO is the big sticking point, however, as a number of top officials have ruled out ever ending the bombing campaign. Indeed, NATO military brass are calling for the further escalation of the war, and don’t seem particularly concerned about the prospect of years of bloody stalemate.
