While the air strikes over Libya continue, prominent diplomats are gathering in London to decide on the future of Libya. Rebels, unlike the Libyan government, will have a chance to define what kind of future they are working towards. There are some pressing issues with the Libyan situation that have yet to be resolved, and a very important meeting is taking place in London on Tuesday to sort them out. The major purpose of the meeting is to get some kind of consensus over the military command of the operation and of the political direction it is taking. The meeting comes just hours after US president Barack Obama said that NATO would be taking over full military control of all the military operations in Libya by Wednesday. On Sunday, NATO ambassadors unanimously approved a so-called "no-fly plus" plan that made the alliance responsible for enforcing a no-fly zone and an arms embargo on Libya. There are a number of heavy-weights attending the meeting: British Prime Minister David Cameron, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, members of the Arab League, members of the African Union, 35 foreign ministers, as well as members of the rebels` Transitional Council, a body that is representing the rebel groups. It is significant there will be no representatives from the Libyan government. That is causing some people to question how exactly the international community can say it is "facilitating and debating issues and concerns around the future of Libya" if it is not inviting those who are in power to actually attend and participate in the talks. In a letter addressed to the leaders of the coalition, Muammar Gaddafi has appealed to the international community, calling the bombardments "barbaric" and comparing NATO`s air strikes with Hitler`s actions during World War II, Agence France-Presse reports. The other concern is the political and religious leanings of the rebels who are participating in the meeting, their backgrounds, and the kind of future they are working towards. There still has been no clarity and no unity of consensus among the international community in terms of what is the ultimate endgame of the operation. There was even more confusion when president Obama said in his recent address that "Gaddafi was not the ultimate target," while his critics said that actions on the ground seem like he is a target.
