Cairo: Foreign ministers of the Arab League countries will meet in Cairo
to discuss the ongoing political crisis in the Middle East and
North Africa.
The meeting of the 22-member group Wednesday will focus on the
situation in Libya where embattled leader Muammar Gaddafi is
trying to crush a two-week-old popular uprising.
The ministers are expected to vote on a draft resolution which
opposes foreign military intervention in Libya, calls for unity of
the country, and approves sending humanitarian aid to the North
African nation.
The international community has already condemned the violence by
Libyan authorities, who have reportedly killed up to 2,000 people
in clashes between protesters and Gaddafi's supporters.
The agenda of the upcoming meeting also includes the situation in
Tunisia and Egypt, where the recent revolutions led to the
collapse of the previous regimes.
Mass public protests swept a number of other countries in the
region, including Yemen, Bahrain, Oman, and Iran. The current
unrest forces the Arab nations to take urgent steps to resolve the
crisis.
