Libya asks Malta & others to 'monitor' "cease-fire"
2011-03-19
TheLibyan government has asked Malta and a number of other countries to monitor the ceasefire in Libya, although the Maltese government initially denied the request.

International media broke the news that Libya had asked Malta, China, Turkey and Germany to monitor the ceasefire. The countries all share a reluctance to assist in the UN-approved military intervention in Libya: China and Germany abstained when the resolution was voted upon, Turkey has declared its opposition to the intervention and Malta has insisted that it would not serve as a military base.
Looks more like a hostage recruiting technique than a cease-fire

#1  They won't have much to monitor because it was the cease fire that never was.
