Jerry Rawlings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Former President Jerry John Rawlings says killing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi will be a \u201cregrettable precedent\u201d.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by his office in Accra on Tuesday said he was speaking on the current situation in Libya following persistent air strikes targeted at Gaddafi\u2019s compound in Tripoli.<\/p>\n

Former President Rawlings said: \u201cGaddafi\u2019s initial threats and actions may have invited this kind of intervention on himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has, however, been punished enough and going any further or killing him and his family will be setting a regrettable precedent. Africa and the developing world stand to lose the most. Let us therefore not wait to live with a very regrettable situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former President expressed regret about the deaths of hundreds of innocent Libyans and combatants and said a way should be found to resolve the crises \u201crather than continue this violent pursuit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cArbitrary killings and unfair trials of targeted personalities is not the simple key to conflict resolution in Africa and other parts of the world,\u201d President Rawlings said.<\/p>\n

The situation in Libya is currently high on the African Union\u2019s agenda. Over the weekend, the joint consultative meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council and the UN Security Council opened in Addis Ababa with Libya high on the agenda.<\/p>\n

The meeting will be followed by an extraordinary session of the Assembly of Heads of State also in Addis Ababa on May 25-26 to review the state of peace and security on the continent with the situation in Libya as the priority.<\/p>\n
