　　G8 members have called for the resignation of Libyan leader Moammar
Gadhafi, while saying they could provide up to $40 billion in aid to Arab
nations trying to establish democracies.
        　　The statements came in a final declaration wrapping up a two-day summit of
the world's eight most industrialized countries in Deauville, France. The
so-called Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East and Northern Africa topped
the agenda.
        　　The strongly worded declaration said Gadhafi "has no future in a free,
democratic Libya. He must go." It also called for an immediate end to use of
force against civilians by Libyan troops and said those responsible must be held
to account.
        　　The declaration called on the Syrian government to stop using force and
intimidation against the Syrian people. It said G8 members are "appalled" at the
deaths of many peaceful protesters and at repeated and serious violations of
human rights.
