Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have addressed a rapturous crowd in the eastern town of Benghazi, a former rebel stronghold. The leaders received a hero's welcome at Liberty Square, a symbolic site for the rebels, in jubilant scenes that seemed to move both men.
Cameron said that it was great to be "in a free Benghazi. People in Britain salute your courage... you showed the world you can get rid of dictator. Colonel Gaddafi said he would hunt you down like rats," Cameron said. "But you showed the courage of lions and we salute your courage. Now just as your courage has written the last chapter of Libyan history, so it must write the next one.”
Sarkozy said that "you have shown us your courage. We need a new courage for forgiveness and reconciliation".
