The regime of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi has accepted an African Union (AU) peace plan designed to end the current conflict, South African President Jacob Zuma said in Tripoli on Sunday.

"The brother leader delegation has accepted the roadmap as presented by us," Zuma said in a brief statement to journalists at Gaddafi's Bab Al-Aziziya residence.
Details of the proposed settlement would be laid out in a communique, he added, without saying when it would be made public.
"We also in this communique are making a call on Nato to cease the bombings to allow and to give a ceasefire a chance."
While other commitments meant he had to leave Libya on Sunday evening, the other members of the African Union delegation would be staying over in Tripoli overnight before travelling east to rebel-held Benghazi, he continued.
There they would put the AU plan, which involves an immediate ceasefire, to the opposition leaders.

So far, the leaders of the uprising have rejected any ceasefire plan that involves leaving either Gaddafi or his sons in power.
As well as Zuma, the AU delegation includes three other African leaders: Mali's Amadou Toumani Toure, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz of Mauritania and Congo's Denis Sassou Nguesso.
Ugandan Foreign Minister Henry Oryem Okello, representing President Yoweri Museveni, completes the AU team.

Earlier on Sunday, the African Union mediators joined Muammar Gaddafi for a photocall outside his Bedouin tent in his Bab al-Aziziya compound in the capital.
Meeting on Saturday in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott, the mediators had reaffirmed the aims of their mission: an "immediate cessation of hostilities," bringing in humanitarian aid, and opening of a dialogue between the regime and the insurgents.

PUT YOUR TRUST IN YAHSHUA/JESUS

Hosea 4:6-9 (New King James Version)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your Elohim/God, I also will forget your children. 7 “ The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change[a] their glory[b] into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And it shall be: like people, like priest. So I will punish them for their ways, And reward them for their deeds. Hosea 6:1-3 (New King James Version)
A Call to Repentance 1 Come, and let us return to Yahweh/the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of Yahweh/the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
