ISTANBUL ? The head of the Libyan rebel government has again called for the urgent release of frozen Libyan assets saying it could face a "legitimacy crisis" if the people's needs are not met.
Mahmoud Jibril, head of the National Transitional Council, on Friday also urged the African Union to recognize the rebel government, a move that would ease the freeing up of Libya's frozen assets.
Jibril said the opposition needed the money to pay state salaries and maintain services in Libya, including in areas still under Moammer Gadhafi's control. He spoke Friday in Turkey, where he attended a "Contact Group" meeting the previous day.
The U.S. and South Africa reached a deal Thursday that will release $1.5 billion in frozen Libyan assets in American banks.
