French President Nicolas Sarkozy paid tribute on Sunday to Libyan rebels battling Muammar Gaddafi's troops in and around the capital Tripoli and reaffirmed France's full support for their cause.
"At the moment when decisive events are taking place in the Tripoli region, in Tripoli itself, and elsewhere in Libya, the president salutes the courage of the rebel fighters and of the Libyan people who are rising up," Sarkozy's office said.
"He assures them once more of the full support of France to achieve the liberation of their country from oppression and dictatorship," it said in a statement.
