They are scared of any peaceful political change because they know they have lost any credibility with the Libyan people since the 19th of March."So the fighting continues.African leaders who devised the roadmap said a peaceful solution to Libya's conflict must be found."The most important thing that concerns us is to continue on this path to find a solution that rescues all of the Libyan people, this is our goal and we are continuing to pursue it. Chairman Jean Pink will visit Doha, God willing, and will present and discuss the African plan."Nato continued its air raids with pressure for it to step up it's bombing campaign.An international group of foreign ministers are meeting in Qatar on Wednesday to discuss Libya's future.
