Chadian plane breaks Libya air embargo according to Arfican countries' resolution

A Chadian airplane flew into Tripoli International Airport yesterday afternoon, penetrating the air embargo imposed on Libya in implementation of the last resolution of the Organization of African Unity summit in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso.

On board was Abdul Qader Kamodgi, the chairman of the Chadian national association (the parliament), heading a large Chadian delegation to congratulate the Libya on the 30th anniversary of its revolution.

Kamodgi said when he arrived at the airport that he was "happy to visit Libya in implementation of the brave resolution taken by the Organization of African Unity (OAU)" to stop compliance this month of the "unjust sanctions" imposed on Libya.

The ministers council of the Organization of African Unity in June recommended that the presidents of African countries who met on Monday in the Burkina Faso capital partially lift the air embargo imposed on Libya. The recommendation stressed not honoring sanctions called for in UN resolutions 748 for 1992 and no. 883 for 1993 as of September 1998, should Britain and the US refuse at the time set to reconsider sanctions during July and consider trying the two Libyans accused in Lockerbie incident in a neutral country according to a decision adopted by the International Court of Justice.

The US and Britain offered Libya a "take it or leave it" proposition, to have the accused Libyans in the Lockerbie bombing incident to be tried in the Hague under Scottish Law, with Scottish judges. Libya has expressed reservations and desire to negotiate the details of the U.S. offer in order to "guarantee a fair trial" for the two accused men.
