WHEREAS Talossa reiterates its full support for the transition to a government that will deliver greater democracy, justice, transparency, human rights and accountability in Libya, and

WHEREAS the National Transitional Council of Libya refers to the state as the Libyan Republic, while the Qadhafi government's name for the state is the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, now

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT:
