We, the undersigned Malaysian political parties, non-governmental organizations, and concerned citizens of the free world, state that we fully support the efforts of the Libyan people in urging Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi to vacate his post as the Ruler of Libya. Gaddafi has been the ruler of Libya since 1969 and the Libyan people, including high ranking military personnel, ambassadors and diplomats, and even members of his own Cabinet have expressed their desire for a new beginning with new leadership in the oil-rich state of Libya.
We wholly and without reservation condemn the use of live ammunition to quell peaceful protesters, as well as the use of hired foreign mercenaries, tanks, and even fighter jets to silence the protesters.We wholly and without reservation condemn the use of live ammunition to quell peaceful protesters, as well as the use of hired foreign mercenaries, tanks, and even fighter jets to silence the protesters.
Gaddafi had once envisioned a prosperous Libya with characteristics such as being a Socialist Islamic nation – prioritizing the people’s welfare, political emancipation, and a robust and inclusive public education. Even so, the Libyan people clamor for a better future for Libya, a most deserved and even more visionary project that they must themselves democratically partake in.
We, the undersigned, hereby reiterate our position in support of the peaceful Libyan protestors in their attempts to rehabilitate democracy in Libya.
Specifically, we call on Gaddafi to:
1. order the Libyan military to immediately lay down arms and end the killings of innocent civilians;
2. respect the will of the Libyan people, and step down immediately;
3. conduct free and fair elections to fulfill the aspirations of the Libyan people for a full, civilian democracy.
We hope that the Barisan Nasional Federal Government will support our calls in urging Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi to vacate his post for the greater good of his people and his nation.
We hereby fully support this Memorandum, presented by the Coalition of Solidarity with the People of Libya.
