Egyptian Ambassador Walid Mahmoud Abdelnasser expressed concern Wednesday over the violence in neighboring Libya but stressed that the international community shouldn't militarily intervene.

Amid the protests over President Moammar Gadhafi's decades-long dictatorship, some talk has emerged of NATO military action.

"On Libya, we clearly declared and officially declared we are opposed to any external military intervention," Abdelnasser told reporters, calling for a peaceful internal resolution. "We see no interest for us or for the countries of the region in perpetuating a conflict-driven situation characterized by bloodshed."
