Qaddafi agrees to sign ceasefire?

RNN :Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has said that he will not leave Libya and that he is still prepared to enter a ceasefire but only if all sides are involved.

"I'm not leaving my country," he said in a live address on state television in the early hours of Saturday morning.

"No one can force me to leave my country and no one can tell me not to fight for my country."

Gaddafi said that he was still ready to enter a ceasefire but that all sides must be involved and not only his own forces fighting against rebels in the east.

"[Libya] is ready until now to enter a ceasefire ... but a ceasefire cannot be from one side," he said in his live speech.

"We were the first to welcome a ceasefire and we were the first to accept a ceasefire ... but the crusader NATO attack has not stopped."

The Libyan leader also called for negotiations with NATO powers to end the air strikes on Libya.

"We did not attack them or cross the sea ... why are they attacking us? Let us negotiate with you, the countries that attack us. Let us negotiate."
