| Subject: France recognizes rebels as Libya's true government Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:43 am | |
| France on Thursday became the first country to formally recognize Libya's opposition National Transitional Council as the legitimate government.
President Nicolas Sarkozy met with two representatives of the newly formed council on Thursday.
An official at Sarkozy's office later said France would be sending an ambassador to Benghazi and receiving a Libyan envoy in Paris.
The news came as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that Libya was in a state of "civil war" and warned that increasing numbers of wounded civilians were arriving in hospitals in eastern cities.
