\n

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf returned home Saturday, July 2,\u00a0 from Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, where she attended the 17th Ordinary Session of the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU).<\/p>\n

In a resolution, the leaders, among other decisions, reaffirmed the commitment of the African Union to a political solution to the Libyan crisis to, \u201cmeet the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people and to preserve the unity and territorial integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the close of the Summit, the Chairman of the AU, President Obiang Nguema Mbagoso of Equatorial Guinea, noted that the concerns of the continent\u2019s body was absolute, chiefly to defend the people involved in the crisis in Libya as well as to defend the integrity of the African continent.<\/p>\n

He added that the declarations will further strengthen the Unity of Africa as the majority of delegations at the Summit reaffirmed their commitment to the road map prepared by the African Union in resolving the Libyan crisis.<\/p>\n

President Obiang said the message to the international community is that the AU is expecting greater respect as regards to issues concerning the continent.<\/p>\n

An Executive Mansion release says the Equatorial Guinean President said that the Libyan conflict threatens to divide the country into two if not solved urgently.<\/p>\n

He said the AU would not accept such a division, noting that the legitimate aspiration of the rebels and the government concerns have to be brought together on a round table.<\/p>\n

Opening the summit earlier, President Obiang expressed the need for African countries to urgently stem the conflicts in some member countries such the Ivory Coast, the Sudan, Somalia and in countries of North African region because the situation is a threat to peace and stability on the continent.<\/p>\n

“The African Union should shoulder the responsibility of finding an everlasting solution to these conflicts”, he stressed.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the African Union Commission, Mr. Jean Ping, said the AU should be at the forefront not only to condemn but also to stem those atrocities that are threatening the achievements so far made and also threatening to tear the continent apart.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it has been disclosed that the Libyan government and the rebels in the eastern part of the country will soon hold transitional negotiations in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, according to South African President Jacob Zuma.<\/p>\n

Zuma told reporters at the end of the Malabo Summit that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi would not be involved in the negotiations aimed at having political transition in the country.<\/p>\n

President Zuma did not give details of when the talks would start, but pointed out that both the rebels and the government representatives who attended the summit have been given the AU proposals to take to their principals.<\/p>\n
