Saya catat bahwa pertemauan ini berlangsung di Abu Dhabi yang adalah salah satu
negara Arab yang mayoritas penduduknya memeluk agama Islam.
Beberapa orang berotak babi di mailing list ini masih bilang bahwa yang
menentang Khadafi itu adalah "Barat" atau "negeri Keristen".

Representatives from 25 Libyan local councils have met for the first time in
Abu Dhabi, expressing support for the uprising against longtime leader Muammar
Gaddafi.
This is first time that leaders from councils and tribes in south and west
Libya, away from the heartland of the rebellion in the east, have been able to
meet. A representative from Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, was among the more than
20 delegates in attendance on Monday.
The conference called for international recognition of the National
Transitional Council (NTC) and for providing the rebels with advanced weaponry,
they say, is needed to defeat Gaddafi's better-armed troops.
Representatives from smaller, beleaguered western cities such as Zwara used the
meeting as a platform to publicise their sufferings, which have received less
attention than Benghazi and Misurata, a western city and Libya's third-largest
that has been besieged by Gaddafi's forces for months.
The delegates will travel to Doha, the Qatari capital, later this week, and
then convene for the first time in Benghazi on Friday.
The show of unity may also help the opposition forces convince a skittish
market to buy oil from rebel-held eastern Libya.
So far, the NTC has only been able to sell around one million barrels to Qatar
for $120 million. But on Monday, Aref Ali Nayed, a representative for the
council abroad, said the council will sell oil through international tenders.
