gadhafi now has an icc arrest warrant hanging over his head. so if the african union that mr. zuma will be representing during these talks with moammar gadhafi wants to negotiate some kind of exit strategy, it s going to be very, very difficult and very limited. gadhafi will want to know if he will be protected from prosecution and i don t think any of the african countries, 31 of them, who are signaturet tci signatory signatories. moammar gadhafi is kudz by the south african government of lying to them when they inquired about the whereabouts of photo journalists anton hamill. hamill disappeared in april and now the south african government has been told by journalists that were with him that he was killed by pro-gadhafi forces.
the tone was very different from what we have been hearing from government officials in recent weeks. instead of calling the opposition rats and terrorists who will be hunted from house to house, there is now talk of amnesty for both sides and unconditional talks with the opposition. meantime the battle not quite over in misurata. after losing the key city a week ago, pro-government forces pounded the opposition with mortars from the outskirts of the city, the ground fight rages as word comes that south african president will be in tripoli monday to meet with qaddafi about an exit strategy. now, it is zoom that s second attempt at brokering a cease-fire. he failed in the first one back nip a we talked to some transitional national council members. they say he will fail again because is he not talking about libyan leader muammar qaddafi leaving before any cease-fire. they say that s a nonstarter. he ghoos to has got to leave the country before the fighting ends. shep? shepard: dan spr
mortar after mortar inside the city, so there is still plenty of fight in them. also back on the diplomatic front we know that president jacob zuma will be in tripoli on monday, he s announced that he will come here to, quote, look for an exit strategy for gadhafi. he was here in april, he had no success, went back to south africa after gaining nothing here. we did talk to a member of the transitional council today, and he said that he has zero hope that there will be anything different this time. again, a lot of talk about cease fire, but no firm talk about gadhafi leaving, and that s exactly what the transitional council says has to happen before they stop the fighting. gregg: dan springer live in benghazi, libya. thanks. jenna: 100 days of unrest there. you know, not far away in egypt the new regime is planning to open its border into gaza. this is an area controlled by hamas. the move is raising alarms in jerusalem, for sure.
