Gaddafi is hardly one to be trusted but at the same time, this war needs to end quickly. We simply can't afford it though with countless defections, neither can he. Al Jazeera:
Muammar Gaddafi is ready for a truce to stop the fighting in his country, the visiting South African president has said after meeting the Libyan leader, but he listed conditions set out by Gaddafi that have dashed previous ceasefire attempts.
South Africa's Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday that Gaddafi was ready to accept an African Union initiative for a ceasefire that would stop all hostilities, including NATO air strikes in support of rebel forces.
"He is ready to implement the road map," Zuma said.
Zuma said Gaddafi insists that "all Libyans be given a chance to talk among themselves" to determine the country's future, but rebels quickly rejected the offer.
