Italy opens Benghazi consulate

2011-06-01

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini on Tuesday (May 31st) opened a new consulate in Benghazi and visited Libya's National Transitional Council (TNC) headquarters. At a joint press conference with TNC foreign affairs chief Ali al-Essawi, Frattini stated that the regime of Moamer Kadhafi was 'finished".

"His aides have left, he has no international support, the G8 leaders reject him, he must go," Frattini said. "We must continue our military pressure (and) strengthen our economic sanctions to ensure that the movement of the Libyan people is irreversible."
