UNO SG Ban Ki Moon indicates that Gaddafi should drop power if he cares for Libyan People !
*Geneva/Palais des Nations/Angelo Marcopolo/- Gaddafi should quit power if he cares for Libya, clearly implied UNO's Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, in statements to Journalists in Geneva, including "EuroFora" :
- Questioned by a collegue if "the Exit of Mr. Qadhafi from power is ..one of the criteria" for "the solution for Libya", "or (if) is there any other" possibility, UNO's SG, while addressing carefuly this delicate issue, obviously implied that Gaddafi should quit power, for the benefit of the country :
- "A lot of Discussions took place, particularly on that question, if Colonel Gaddafi should be part of the process, if he should leave, or stay in power", he observed from the outset.
- Naturally, "in principle, the future and the form of the Leadership, .. is to be determined by the People of the Country concerned themselves", where the Opposition, which already controls almost Half of Libya, notoriously makes of Gaddafi's departure (and his Army's return back to its baracks) the main Condition for a real Peace process.
- "But, at This Time, he (Gaddafi) has to Listen much More ..seriously to what would be the Best for the Future of Libyan People", Ban Ki Moon stressed.
- After reminding that "he has been Ruling that Country 42 years", UNO's Head observed that "If he (Gaddafi) ... Cares for the benefit and Well-being of his Country, then he should know Better than anyone what course of action he should take", and stopped short, apparently implying that the controversial Colonel should not become an Obstacle to a Peaceful Solution by Persisting to Stick to the same role that he had during a very long Past...
Earlier, speaking just of "the Leadership of Libya", (i.e. without mentioning Gaddafi), Ban Ki Moon regretted the fact that, until now, "Unfortunately... we have No Clear Vision when this situation will End. ....But ...the negotiation and process for an End of this, I think, has begun already... it is crucially important that the leadership of Libya stop fighting and listen to their people's aspirations. They cannot go on like this.... they should fully cooperate for the sake of humanity", he "urged" Tripoli.
- "Our (UNO's) goal is .. to bring ..1st, a verifiable and immediate Ceasefire. On the basis of that, ..to expand ..Humanitarian assistance to many people who really need this, (because) the humanitarian situation Worsened in .. Misrata and other places where fighting is going on. In parallel with this, the political dialogue has been going on, (and) lastly, ..the planning for Post-conflict, ..already begun", he pointed out.
Ban Ki Moon participated recently to the "G-8" Heads of State/Government Summit at Deauville, whose collective Conclusions clearly asked for Gaddafi to quit power, in order to open a possibility for a peaceful solution to the Libyan conflict, Russian President Medvedev agreeing for the 1st time explicitly on this Key point with French and USA Presidents Sarkozy (2011 Chairman of the G-8) and Obama, as well as UK's Cameron and others, (See "EuroFora"s NewsReports from the spot at Deauville's 2011 G-8 Summit).
Medvedev send his Envoy, Margelov, to negotiate Gaddafi's departure, but the latter reportedly refused to quit power, (See the Russian President's Envoy's short but topical statements to "EuroFora" before and after Libyan visits).

Brixen-Bressanone/ACM/3.8.08
An appeal to make the "World more Human", by defending basic Human Values, helping those in need, and paying hommage to Nature, figured high in Pope Benedict's long-awaited speech at his "First Angelus" in the symbolic, beautiful historic small town of Brixen/Bressalone at the Alpes.
- "No Dictature, nor any destructive force can rob us of the most important goods wich are God's gift", stressed Pope Benedict, referring to elementary Human Values, in a last-minute improvisation of his draft speech, before launching also a call to "help those in need", in order to "make the World more human".
- "Jesus is the focus .. In him is Justice and Freedom", said earlier Brixen's Bishop Wilhelm Egger, after prayers including calls to "Truth, Justice and Freedom", read at a Mass of thousands in the town of Archangel Michael, known as defender of christians against the devil.
In what looks as a reference to BioEthics' dillemas of crucial impportance, raised at Strasbourg's unique in the World legally binding International Treaty on BioMedicine and Human Rights (1998, with the "hottest" issues added later through additional protocols, some of whom are imminent), he spoke also of the splendid "Nature" at this Alpen's ressort : This fits well Vatican's earlier anouncement that Pope Benedict's "prayer intentions for August" are mainly to "respect God's design for the world", and "become ever more aware of the great gift of God which Creation represents for us".
- "The most important things in our lives cannot be bought, but are only given as holy gifts : The Sun and its Light, the Air that we breath, the Water, the beauty of Earth, Love, Friendship, Life itself", Pope Benedict added, extending also to Natural Environment, another topical issue after recent Climatic upheavals at several parts of the World.
The "preparation of Pope Benedict's visit to France", which currently heads the EU, at mid-September, among exceptionaly important Council of Europe meetings on Human Rights in Paris and Strasbourg, is part of his work, together with his "book on Jesus", during brief Summer Holidays in Brixen, said his Spokesman, Federico Lombardi.
- The Pope's message is mainly religious, theological. But we are living in a concrete world, and ideas may be taken by readers as references to the actuality. However, it's better to wait to se what the Pope will say in Paris and at Lourdes, added to EuroFora Lombardi, who is also Director of Vatican's Press Office.
Brizen/Bressanone is similar to Strasbourg by succeeding to make a fertile synthesis of Germanic and Latin sources of Europe, like the two local rivers who meet at the historical center of the town, among spectacular ressorts at mountains' hights.
Headquarters for an Historic Religious Seminar, it attracted recently also a Free University's Educational studies. Well-known as a long-time preferred rest place for former cardinal Radzinger and his brother Georg, it includes areas named "St Benedeto" and "St George"...
But Pope Benedict's first speech gave also another symbolic rendez-vous :
- "Next Wednesday, August 6, we shall commemorate the 30st anniversary from the death of late Pope Paul VI", who "concluded Vatican II", and "the Transfiguration of Jesus, mystery of the divine light, which exerced a unique fascination to his soul", he said to some 12.000 applauding People, among the happy few who succeeded to have a rare place for an open-air Mass inside the Domplatz a particularly sunny day at the Alpes.
