The UN Development Programme has dropped Libyan ruler Moammar Gaddafi's daughter as a goodwill ambassador following the recent events in Libya. UN spokesperson Martin Nesirky said the agreement with Aisha al-Gaddafi has been terminated. Aisha al-Gaddafi was appointed as the goodwill ambassador of Libya in 2009 to address the issues of HIV/AIDS and violence against women in Libya, both culturally sensitive topics in the country. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has blasted Muammar Gaddafi for ignoring his call to stop violence against protestors, which the UN chief stressed to the Libyan leader during a 40 minute conversation this week. Ban warned that the volatile situation in the North African nation could take several directions, many of them dangerous.
