Meanwhile, Dr Mahmoud Jibril, leading the Libyan delegation to the extraordinary Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo on Saturday, has hailed Qatar’s generous support for the Libyan revolution, as well as its initiative to secure $ 2.5bn from the international community for the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) before Eid al-Fitr.
Dr Jibril in his speech before the extraordinary meeting, chaired by Oman, stressed on the importance of Arab financial support for the transition in Libya.
He pointed out that the NTC’s legitimacy had depended on the role of struggle against the regime of Col Gaddafi over the past six months, adding that its legitimacy was now based on its ability to meet the demands of the people and the provision of essential services.
