The African Union committee on Libya will convene in South Africa on Wednesday (September 14th), SAPA reported. Mauritanian President and committee chairman Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, and the heads of states from the Republic of Congo, Mali, Uganda and South Africa, have been pursuing a peaceful solution to the Libya conflict. South Africa and the African Union have not yet recognised the legitimacy of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC).
