The Libyan ambassador Saadun Suayeh, this afternoon had a meeting with Foreign Minister Tonio Borg at the Foreign Ministry.

He refused to comment afterwards, saying it was "a private consultation on the current situation."

The ambassador this morning said he was staying on as Libyan ambassador after anti-Gaddafi protesters raised the post-independence Libyan flag on the embassy building. He said the embassy represented all the Libyan people.

The Libyan school at Ta' Giorni refused to replace the official Libyan flag while no flags were flying this afternoon at the mosque in Paola.
