A host of senior Libyan diplomat across the world announced they were stnding with protesters, voicing outrage at Moamer Gddafi’s regime for killing of civilians and the use of the air force against demonstrators.

Libya's diplomats at the United Nations in New York called for international intervention to stop the government's violent action against street demonstrations in their homeland.

Deputy Permanent Representative Ibrahim Dabbashi said the long-time ruler had "declared war" on the Libyan people and was committing "genocide."
He added that Libyans had to be protected, urging the UN to impose a no-fly zone.
"I think it is the end of Colonel Gaddafi, it is a matter of days, whether he steps down or the Libyan people will get rid of him anyway," Dabbashi said in an interview with BBC World.

Ali Aujali, Libya's most senior diplomat in the US, also criticized the country's leader. He told the BBC he was "not supporting the government killing its people".

In Cairo, Libya's Arab League envoy, Abdel Moneim al-Honi, said on Sunday he too had stepped down to "join the revolution."

Top officials in Australia, China, India and Malaysia have severed ties with the leadership, saying the killing has gone too far and Gaddafi had lost all legitimacy in the eyes of the people.

"My resignation is because of the massive violence against civilians in my country," Libya's envoy to India, Ali al-Essawi, told AFP news agency in New Delhi.
"Yesterday they started to use airplanes to bomb civilians demonstrating peacefully. This is unacceptable."
He called on the international community and UN Security Council members meeting in New York later Tuesday to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya.

Elsewhere in Asia, Libya's embassy in Australia was reported to have cut its ties with Tripoli, with the mission's cultural counselor Omran Zwed announcing the news to The Australian newspaper.
"We represent the Libyan people and no longer the Libyan regime," he was quoted as saying.

In Malaysia, embassy staff condemned the "massacre" of anti-government protesters and said they were no longer loyal as some 200 Libyans staged an angry anti-government protest outside the embassy in Kuala Lumpur.

On Monday, a senior Libyan diplomat posted in China stepped down in an on-air interview with the Al-Jazeera news network, while there were unconfirmed reports Tuesday that the ambassador to Bangladesh had also deserted.
The diplomat in China, Hussein Sadiq al Musrati, "called on all diplomatic staff to resign" in an interview with Qatar-based Al-Jazeera.
