The 17th African Union (A.U) Summit being held in Equatorial Guinea for Thursday and Friday is challenging the African community on the position that will be adopted by the African leaders on Libya. This is one of the key issues of this summit and until then, African presidents have appeared more than divided on what to do with Muammar Gadhafi, who has been a major donor to the A.U but also to many of the African leaders. In this regard, President Jean Ping said that the position of the African Organisation did not retreat without denying certain inertia within the A.U to consolidate a common position on the matter. The meeting of the A.U Ministers focused on this issue, and tried to prepare a joint declaration that should be adopted by all the African leaders, although the discussions are likely to be choppy as some countries advocate a strong support for the Colonel, while others demanded his departure. This is confirmed by the presence in Malabo, of two Libyan delegations. One is conducted by the foreign minister of the regime, Abdul Ati al-Obeidi, and of the other by the National Transitional Council (CNT) in Malabo where African leaders will present their roadmap for ending Libya's crisis. The proposal being drafted by five African presidents about the ongoing conflict in Libya is expected to dominate their two-day meeting. The Gadhafi government appears to accept the plan, but rebels want it to include demands that the Libyan leader step down immediately.
