Mezni declined to address news of Gadhafi's death directly, opting to focus on the AU's commitment to working with the new leadership. He said the group will release a statement later.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, a longtime ally to the fallen ruler, remained silent. But Information Minister Webster Shamu said the government had been watching the situation closely and was not pleased.
"Zimbabwe just cannot accept what has happened in that African country as a legitimate way of correcting systems on the African continent," he said.
On social media across the continent, the reaction to his death was mixed. Some tweeted "Rest in peace king of Africa," a reference to the title of "king of kings of Africa" bestowed on him by a group of African chiefs. Others condemned his killing as ruthless, saying he deserved a trial in court .
