Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

World Leaders, Rebels Agree on Unfreezing Libyan Assets

HeadlineSep 02, 2011

Gaddafi’s call on supporters to continue the fight came as representatives of the Libyan rebels met with world leaders in Paris. Attendees agreed to unfreeze Libyan assets for the rebels’ use and to continue NATO strikes until Gaddafi’s departure. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said international forces will continue to back the rebels.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen: “The war is not over yet. There’s still some fighting. And this is the reason why I have stressed tonight that NATO stands ready to continue our operation as long as necessary. On the other hand, we will not stay one day longer than necessary. We want to terminate our operation when the situation allows. But there’s still some fighting, and we feel obliged to fully implement the U.N. mandate to protect civilians.”
