The Al-Sharq Al-Awsat daily reports that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will respond to the Libyan National Interim Council's invitation to visit Benghazi, Libya, the stronghold of the Libyan rebels, in order to discuss aid to the rebels and preparations for the post-Qadhafi era.
According to the paper, Al-Qadhafi met with senior regime officials on April 25 to discuss a reshuffling of the government and the rapid drafting of a new constitution, in an attempt to convince the international community of his regime's willingness to conduct reforms.
