Global powers must offer Gaddafi exit route: analysts

International powers should offer Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi an exit strategy when they meet in London today, political commentators said.

Humanitarian aid for Libyans and plans to move to a post-Gaddafi future will be discussed when Britain hosts the conference to be attended by 35 nations.

Britain, which has taken a lead role in military operations against Gaddafi’s forces, said the meeting would reinforce the commitment to implement the UN Security Council resolution to protect civilians.
