Libya Solution Needs Arab League, African Union, Albright Says

The U.S. needs support from the Arab League and the African Union to halt the burgeoning civil war in Libya, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said today in New York.

Both Albright, who became the first woman to lead the State Department when she was named to the post in 1997 by President Bill Clinton, and Condoleezza Rice, who served in the same role during President George W. Bush’s administration, said the region’s turmoil is likely to unleash voices Americans don’t want to hear.
