Two top Libyan envoys have resigned from their posts in solidarity with pro-democracy demonstrations against the country's ruler Muammar Gaddafi's authoritarian regime.

Libyan envoy to the Arab League Abdel Moneim al-Honi and the country's ambassador to China resigned on Sunday to join the protests.

"I have submitted my resignation in protest against the acts of repression and violence against demonstrators and I am joining the ranks of the revolution," al-Honi said.

Libyan envoy to China has also said that he was not “honored to represent a regime that kills its people.”

He has also called on the army to intervene to stop the killing of “innocent people.”

An opposition leader has said that all tribes across the country have joined the anti-government protests, reports said.

Meanwhile, Gaddafi has reportedly left the country for Brazil or Venezuela.
