Tears Flow at UN Security Council Over Bloodshed in Libya | North Africa | English

The Un Holding a Security Council Meeting Photographic Poster Print by Lisa Larsen, 30x40Tears Flow at UN Security Council Over Bloodshed in Libya | North Africa | English: "Libyan ambassador to the United Nations made an impassioned appeal Friday to the U.N. Security Council, calling on the U.N.’s most powerful body to adopt a strong resolution and 'save Libya.' His speech ended with him embracing his deputy, who had defected from Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's camp earlier this week, and both men sobbing as the U.N. Secretary-General and other ambassadors came over to embrace them and shake their hands.

It was not immediately clear that Ambassador Abd al-rahman Shalgham was going to change his position and take the side of the Libyan people, but as his emotional speech to the council took shape, it became clear he no longer supported Gadhafi, a man he has called a friend since childhood."
