OTTAWA - Canada will send a warship to Libya, adding to the international military buildup in the region, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Tuesday.
The Halifax-based frigate, HMCS Charlottetown, is expected to conduct as-yet-undefined humanitarian relief operations in conjunction with an American carrier battle group led by the nuclear-powered USS Enterprise.
Harper said the warship will depart Wednesday.
"I am proud that the Charlottetown will rapidly be joining Canadian and allied forces to participate in this effort in Libya," Harper told the House of Commons.
News of the short-notice deployment came on the same day as a Canadian military Hercules transport, en route to pick up stranded oil workers, was turned back from Libya.
The British have used one of their frigates HMS Cumberland to evacuate its citizens from the port city of Benghazi.
A spokesman for the Ottawa-based overseas headquarters confirmed an air force C-130J Hercules was waved off its mission on Tuesday about half way between Malta and the troubled north African nation.
The transport was headed into Tripoli.
"The reason for the denial is apparently due to a shortage of ramp space at Tripoli International Airport," said Maj. Andre Salloum, spokesman for Canadian Forces Expeditionary Command.
It's the latest in a string of setbacks for the Canadian evacuation effort.
A Canadian C-17 military transport was last week denied landing rights in Libya and sat on the tarmac in Rome before beginning flights over the weekend.
And at least two civilian aircraft chartered by the Foreign Affairs Department left the chaotic north African country with no passengers.
The empty Hercules, one of the newer models purchased by the Conservative government, has returned to Malta where the air force has stationed one other C-130 and two giant C-17 transport planes.
Salloum said another flight is scheduled for Wednesday.
A spokesman for Defence Minister Peter MacKay defended the government's efforts.
"Our government's priority remains the safe evacuation of Canadians from Libya," said Jay Paxton.
"Canada's military aircraft have made trips into Libya to deliver supplies and rescue Canadian and other citizens. Those flights continue."
A military reconnaissance team and combat medics are also in Malta, evaluating what else the military can deploy to aid in the evacuations.
It's not clear what company employed the oil workers the Hercules was trying to evacuate.
The federal government has already evacuated citizens as well as a number of foreign nationals. Ottawa closed its embassy in Tripoli a few days ago and has set up a satellite diplomatic post in Malta.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was on the telephone Tuesday with his counterpart in Malta, Lawrence Gonzi, and thanked him for hosting Canadian Forces.
A spokesman for the prime minister, Dimitri Soudas, said the two leaders also talked about the need to further deter violence by the Libyan regime against its own citizens.
Foreign Affairs Lawrence Cannon told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva that the world must focus on the unfolding "humanitarian crisis" and said Canada was willing to provide assistance. But he didn't say what form that assistance would take.
Calgary-based Suncor Energy has the biggest Canadian commercial presence in Libya, but said a statement last week that most of its expatriate staff and their families had left the country.
Pure Technologies, also based in Calgary, is said to be organizing to get its staff to safety. bron

UNITED NATIONS The full membership of the United Nations has suspended Libya from the U.N. Human Rights Council.
The U.N. General Assembly voted by consensus Tuesday on the council's recommendation to suspend Libya's rights of council membership for committing "gross and systematic violations of human rights." It is also expressing "deep concern" about the human rights situation in Libya.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
GENEVA (AP) Top Russian diplomats ruled out the idea of creating a no-fly zone over Libya on Tuesday as embattled leader Moammar Gadhafi unleashed bombing raids, special forces and army troops in a desperate bid to stay in power.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described the idea of imposing limits on Libyan air space as "superfluous" and said world powers must instead focus on fully using the sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council over the weekend.
Leaders in the U.S., Europe and Australia have suggested the military tactic used successfully in northern Iraq and Bosnia to prevent Gadhafi from bombing his own people. But Russia's consent is required as a veto-wielding member of the Security Council.
Russian NATO ambassador Dmitry Rogozin cautioned against moving militarily against Gadhafi without U.N. authorization.
"If someone in Washington is seeking a blitzkrieg in Libya, it is a serious mistake because any use of military force outside the NATO responsibility zone will be considered a violation of international law," Rogozin told Russia's Interfax news agency in Brussels.
"A ban on the national air force or civil aviation to fly over their own territory is still a serious interference into the domestic affairs of another country, and at any rate it requires a resolution of the U.N. Security Council," Rogozin said Tuesday.
U.N. council members have not considered imposing a no-fly zone over Libya, and no U.N.-sanctioned military action was planned. NATO says any intervention in Libya would have to be U.N.-authorized.
Still, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday that even more action beyond U.N. sanctions might be needed, because in Libya "a regime that has lost legitimacy has declared war on its own people."
"It is up to us, the community of nations, to stand against this crime," Ban said in New York.
Libya was expected to be suspended from the U.N. Human Rights Council later Tuesday by the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
"Those who have abused human rights have no place in the Human Rights Council," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told reporters.
Libyan embassy staff in Vienna said Tuesday that "what is happening today in Libya in terms of repression and premeditated murder of the Libyan population is terrible and indescribable" and urged Gadhafi to resign.
Italy voiced support for a no-fly zone over Libya, which is critical given that Italian bases would likely be used to enforce it. Foreign Minister Franco Frattini says a no-fly zone would be useful to prevent Gadhafi from attacking his own people, but insisted that it would have to be enforced.
"In the Balkans, it had important results: it prevented Milosevic's planes from bombing unarmed populations," Frattini told the Il Messaggero newspaper in Rome. "I believe it could be successful also in Libya, because it would prevent bombing in Cireniaica and the areas taken from Gadhafi's control."
Italy just suspended a treaty with Libya that had a nonaggression clause, removing a possible obstacle to the use of military bases in Italy for a no-fly zone. The 2008 "friendship treaty" signed by Gadhafi and Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi had called for Rome to pay Libya $5 billion as compensation for its 30-year colonial rule. Libya in return promised to help Italy crack down on illegal immigrants.
There are several U.S. and NATO bases in Italy, and the U.S. 6th Fleet is based near Naples.
The U.N. Security Council's sanctions so far include an arms embargo on Gadhafi, four of his sons and a daughter, and leaders of revolutionary committees accused of much of the violence against opponents. The U.N. also urged its 192 member nations to freeze Libyan assets and authorized an investigation into Gadhafi's regime for possible crimes against humanity.
The Europe Union added its own sanctions Monday to try to force the dictator to stop attacks on civilians and step down after 42 years of iron-fisted rule. It issued travel bans and an asset freeze against senior Libyan officials, and ordered an arms embargo on the country. Germany went further, proposing a 60-day economic embargo to prevent Gadhafi from using oil revenues to hire mercenaries to repress his people.
Westerwelle said Germany was working out how to legally freeze all financial transactions with Libya so "the dictatorial Gadhafi family does not get any fresh money in their hands that it could use for its civil war against the Libyan people."
The EU sanctions against Libya were significant because Europe has much more leverage over Libya than the United States; 85 percent of Libyan oil goes to Europe, and Gadhafi and his family are thought to have significant assets in Britain, Switzerland and Italy. The United States, the EU, Switzerland, Britain and Canada already have frozen Libyan assets.
The European Union will hold a summit of its 27 heads of state in Brussels on March 11 to discuss the situation on Libya.
The Libyan uprising that began Feb. 15 has swept over nearly the entire eastern half of the country, putting entire cities there out of Gadhafi's grasp. But he and his backers hold the capital of Tripoli and have threatened to put down protests aggressively.
The U.N. and other groups hope diplomats can unlock access to western parts of Libya that are now off-limits to humanitarian workers. Anna Nelson, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, said her agency had "credible" reports of some patients being executed in hospitals in Libya.
"We still do not have access," she said.
The U.S. moved naval and air forces closer to Libya on Monday and said all options were open, including patrolling the North African nation's skies to protect its citizens from their ruler.
France said it was flying aid into the opposition-controlled eastern half of Libya to help the rebels. bron

In depth report: What has happened to the Libyan military so far?
Posted on March 1, 2011 by admin
Translated by Libyafeb17.com | Original article: Al Jazeera Arabic

The joining of many of the military, air force and naval forces to the revolutionaries has strengthened their position in demand for the resignation of Colonel Gaddafi. It also reduced the regimes ability to resolve the situation militarily.
Thus, the military power in Libya has become fragmented in terms of distributed control between the revolutionaries and Gaddafi. According to available information, the total number of the Libyan military ranges between 90 to 130 thousand personnel.

Although Libya is one of the countries that spends the most on armaments, most military units appear to be weak and limited in experience and training with exception to the units entrusted with the protection of Gaddafi.

Military officers declaring they have joined the revolution:

1. Benghazi

The city of Benghazi, which was taken over by the revolutionaries since the beginning, is considered Libyas second city after the capital Tripoli militarily and a base for a variety of military units which have declared all of their accession to the revolution.
Benina air base located in the suburb of Benghazi announced its support to the revolution a few days after it began with an official statement from its military officers and soldiers.

Another military faction was the Forsan barracks, an armoured battalion in Benghazi which is one of the most important Libyan armoured vehicles base. it too announced its support of the revolution.

In terms of Naval power, the navy personnel in Benghazi announced their loyalty to the revolution, and disobeyed Gaddafi orders after warships were ordered to bomb the Benghazi population and defected to Cyprus.

2. Tobruk

In Tobruk, which is a coastal city close to the Egyptian-Libyan border and approximately 1500km away from Tripoli, the Jamaal Abdul Nassir Air Base joined the revolution. It is the largest air base in the region with an extremely important strategic position.

The security battalion in Tobruk also joined the revolution and was able to fend off some attacks from Gaddafis supporters. It also managed to down a plane which tried to land at Tobruk airport which was loaded with militia mercenaries coming from Zaire.

3. Al Jabal Al Akhdar (The Green Mountain)

Green Mountain is a vast region extending in the north-east of Libya, and includes cities such as Al Bayda, Darnah and Al Gubba, with Al Bayda considered its capital and administrative centre. The regions military leaders and units have also joined the revolution and renounced Gaddafi.

Among the most prominent military units in the region, the Libyan Army Battalions in the Green Mountain announced through their military spokesman that they too have joined the revolution.

4. Ajdabiya

In Ajdabiya situated in the north-east of Libya, approximately 160km south of Benghazi, military and police units announced their joining of the revolution.

5. Misurata

East of Tripoli, the city of Misurata has witnessed intense fighting after the army announced it too had joined the peoples revolution. They have been able to to repel many attacks from pro-Gaddafi militias, mercenaries and loyal battalions. They have also shot down a fighter plane which attempted to take out some sensitive areas in the city that were under the control of the revolution.

6. Az Zawiya

The closest the revolutionaries have gotten to Tripoli so far. Situated only 55km, this city has caused the greatest amount of unrest to Gaddafi as of yet now that it is in the hands of the revolutionaries. As of the 24th February, fighting apparently continues in the city. In a phone call specifically aimed at its residents, Gaddafi said the protesters were young people that had been duped into destruction and sabotage with drugs and alcohol.

7. Tripoli

In Tripoli, which is still holed up in Gaddafis heavily fortified military base (Baab Al Aziziyah) and which the loyal battalions to Gaddafi are still in control, there have emerged a number of moves from military units which come in support of the revolution.

There have been reports of the accession of Mitiga Air Base in Tripoli to the revolutionaries, making it another military air base in their hands. A number of military personnel have also joined the revolution in the district of Tajoura in Tripoli.

Accession has not been limited to the field of military and security personnel, but rather it transcended to important figures which have a weight in this area:

1. Abdul Fattah Younis Al-Obaidi
When the Interior Minister and Major General Abdel Fattah Younis al-Obaidi joined the revolution, this dealt a severe a blow to Colonel Gaddafi in whose sight Obaidi was one of the most prominent aides. Gaddafi mentioned Obaidi several times in his second address to the nation, bestowed upon him praise and said he fought with him against the Americans. Gaddafi accused the people of Benghazi of killing him and hiding his body. Shortly thereafter, Obaidi came to announce his resignation from the Gaddafi regime and that he had joined the revolution.

2. Abdel Salam Mahmoud Hassi

The President of the Libyan Special Forces Brigadier General Abdel Salam Mahmoud Hassi also joined the revolutionaries and called to his fellow officers and soldiers to take a similar decision.

3. Suleiman Mahmoud

The Eastern Libyan Military Commander Suleiman Mahmoud also announced his resignation. He justified his move based on the massacres that were being committed by the Gaddafi regime against unarmed citizens
