Bamako, Mali
Malian President Alpha Oumar Konare left Bamako Monday
afternoon on a two-day working and friendly visit to
Libya, where h will have talks with Libyan leader Col.
Moammar Kadhafi, official sources said.
Libya and Mali ratified the treaty setting up the African Union, along with
Senegal and Togo.
The talks between the two leaders will focus on the African Union, the
strengthening of relations between the two countries and the incidents which
recently broke out in Libya between Libyans and black sub-Saharan nationals
living there, including Malians, the sources said.
Several thousands people from Nigeria, Chad, Mali, Niger, Ghana and others
were recently sent home from Libya after the deadly clashes which left
several people dead.
Press reports said the Libyan authorities have expressed the intention to
prosecute Libyans involved in the fighting. No Libyan, however, has been
arrested for the crimes committed against the sub-Saharan nationals.
