1
00:00:01,237 --> 00:00:08,940
Peace be upon you. In recent days, events have been speeding up

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:13,270
and the regime has suffered some consecutive defeats

3
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:17,889
but they are still divorced from reality, living a fantasy

4
00:00:17,889 --> 00:00:23,605
imagining they can turn back the wheel of time

5
00:00:23,605 --> 00:00:26,680
still not understanding that people can say "No" to them

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,432
I mean, they are still bewildered

7
00:00:31,432 --> 00:00:40,190
Everyone who knows anything in politics knows this regime is finished

8
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:46,184
If you bet on them, for your own interest, you're going to loose

9
00:00:46,184 --> 00:00:49,923
by every measure

10
00:00:49,923 --> 00:00:56,474
Even the international powers, that study their interests at each step, have abandoned them

11
00:00:56,474 --> 00:01:01,956
It has become shameful to have a relationship with this regime

12
00:01:01,956 --> 00:01:07,477
What I still can't understand is those people who are still defending the regime

13
00:01:07,477 --> 00:01:11,221
The problem is, these people are free to think, they live outside Libya

14
00:01:11,221 --> 00:01:16,974
and they try to find excuses, they lie and say this is a "crusader war" or whatever

15
00:01:16,974 --> 00:01:23,595
What "crusader war"? He was about to burn Benghazi.

16
00:01:23,595 --> 00:01:33,054
Then, when countries came and stopped this, you tell me "it's a crusader war"?

17
00:01:33,054 --> 00:01:38,541
OK, so what is it he is doing? What do you call it?

18
00:01:38,541 --> 00:01:40,948
There is no power or strength but in God.

19
00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:46,430
To be honest I can't comprehend this, I can't understand those who are saying this.

20
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:52,965
It is bewildering.

21
00:01:52,965 --> 00:02:01,578
Just quickly, I want to ask a question to all Libyans listening.

22
00:02:01,578 --> 00:02:10,148
Who doesn't have a relative, or friend who was murdered in what is called April 7?

23
00:02:10,148 --> 00:02:14,987
From '76 up to the mid-80's in the universities

24
00:02:14,987 --> 00:02:25,055
Hangings in universities. Who? Who doesn't have a friend or relative who dissappeared at that time?

25
00:02:25,055 --> 00:02:35,550
Who doesn't have a friend or relative who was killed in Chad? A pointless war, where in the end he said

26
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:38,230
"Here's Ozu, take it," and nothing happened.

27
00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:42,141
Who of us doesn't know someone killed in Uganda, or disappeared in Uganda?

28
00:02:42,141 --> 00:02:46,882
Or who was wounded and so was thrown into the sea?

29
00:02:46,882 --> 00:02:50,364
Who among us doesn't have relatives who were injected with aids?

30
00:02:50,364 --> 00:03:06,687
And those responsible were sentenced first to death then to life imprisonment, then released.

31
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:09,962
It's a farce.

32
00:03:09,962 --> 00:03:18,554
The incident of the stadium. Youth who were cheering on a team, and as they were cheering

33
00:03:18,554 --> 00:03:21,836
they were shot at with live ammunition.

34
00:03:21,836 --> 00:03:24,312
And when you go to take the body of your son

35
00:03:24,312 --> 00:03:27,052
you have to sign to say he was a criminal.

36
00:03:27,052 --> 00:03:36,480
In 1984, in May, I remember this. They broadcast the executions and hangings at Iftar time

37
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:49,390
You go to break your fast, and they're showing people - martyrs Godwilling - on the gallows

38
00:03:49,390 --> 00:03:51,898
and the humiliation of them, and worse than that

39
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:55,173
that the hangings and executions took place in their areas

40
00:03:55,173 --> 00:03:59,318
where they were born, in front of their families and their children

41
00:03:59,318 --> 00:04:04,808
the destruction of homes, each village in Libya has homes unjustly destroyed

42
00:04:04,808 --> 00:04:07,641
the stealing of people's money and property.

43
00:04:07,641 --> 00:04:15,435
Brothers, I can't comprehend. When we are close to getting rid of this tyrant

44
00:04:15,435 --> 00:04:19,715
we find there are people still standing by him.

45
00:04:19,715 --> 00:04:23,691
No one who has been forced into the compulsory military training

46
00:04:23,691 --> 00:04:28,307
who has been tortured and dehumanized

47
00:04:28,307 --> 00:04:36,967
as they say, break their pride so no one can think of doing anything

48
00:04:36,967 --> 00:04:45,768
The terror at the checkpoints, at the borders, the invasions of homes and the rapes

49
00:04:45,768 --> 00:04:50,443
Brothers, we are not in a country. I swear to you we are not in a country.

50
00:04:50,443 --> 00:05:02,550
What has happened in Libya happens only in Israel. And Israel doesn't do this to their own people.

51
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:07,898
They do it to those they think they're in conflict with.

52
00:05:07,898 --> 00:05:11,747
What I'm saying, and especially to those intellectuals abroad

53
00:05:11,747 --> 00:05:18,299
who say they are educated and are still excusing and defending the regime.

54
00:05:18,299 --> 00:05:21,641
Yesterday one of them sent me an email, saying this is a crusader war.

55
00:05:21,641 --> 00:05:26,862
Crusader war? When he was going to burn Benghazi, why didn't you speak then?

56
00:05:26,862 --> 00:05:34,019
Crusader war? All your friend has to do is step down. Go and stop the bloodletting.

57
00:05:34,019 --> 00:05:38,461
If he was human, and felt anything, he would go to save the bloodletting.

58
00:05:38,461 --> 00:05:49,597
The other thing I still can't understand, you who have people in the army, call them, tell them to stop

59
00:05:49,597 --> 00:06:02,874
This is wrong, that young men should be led astray and be isolated, to burn in tanks so he can stay in power

60
00:06:02,874 --> 00:06:05,213
The owner of the farm, like Libya is his farm

61
00:06:05,213 --> 00:06:08,756
with people in it he doesn't consider people, he considers them rats, not even human.

62
00:06:08,756 --> 00:06:19,525
And young men die for him. If even a fly were to die for him I'd say it's too much.

63
00:06:19,525 --> 00:06:28,354
So please, keep calling, a thousand times to save even one person.

64
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:32,467
If you save even one, it would be like you've saved all humanity.

65
00:06:32,467 --> 00:06:37,108
Let's all cooperate on this.

66
00:06:37,569 --> 00:06:45,609
Look, the more the noose tightens around the regime

67
00:06:45,609 --> 00:06:49,461
the more violent their response will be

68
00:06:49,461 --> 00:06:52,060
and the more dirty tactics they will use

69
00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:58,211
now we hear them stirring up tribalism, to light a tribal war

70
00:06:58,211 --> 00:07:00,792
and he will do everything you can imagine

71
00:07:00,792 --> 00:07:03,300
When you want to understand how they think

72
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,172
imagine there's a devil in front of you and imagines what he will be prepared to do

73
00:07:06,172 --> 00:07:15,374
Now I expect him to take soldiers in civilian clothes and ask them to go to an area

74
00:07:15,374 --> 00:07:19,615
and make it seem like it's a war between two civilian sides, between pro-Gaddafi and anti-Gaddafi

75
00:07:19,615 --> 00:07:31,351
make it seem like a tribal war, a civil war, to derail the revolution and move it out of it's target

76
00:07:31,351 --> 00:07:39,142
so our efforts abroad should be focused on two things

77
00:07:39,142 --> 00:07:45,119
both in liberated areas and areas still not liberated

78
00:07:45,119 --> 00:07:50,078
We can't let this chance go. We must carry on raising awareness

79
00:07:50,078 --> 00:07:56,963
because in the end he is going. If they reach an agreement, his plane will carry ten or fifteen

80
00:07:56,963 --> 00:08:03,463
and the others will stay. The Libyans will stay, and will live together on this earth and he will go.

81
00:08:03,463 --> 00:08:09,638
There is no discussion about this. So we don't want any kind of his traps remaining.

82
00:08:09,638 --> 00:08:16,094
We need to keep the contacts going so the revolution is not derailed from its goals

83
00:08:16,094 --> 00:08:25,153
which are setting up a democratic country, freeing the land totally, a country of insititutions and law

84
00:08:25,153 --> 00:08:30,769
and social justice, a Libya for all. Law, that's it.

85
00:08:30,769 --> 00:08:41,172
Racial or tribal labelling must end. Our origins should be geographic - from this city or that.

86
00:08:41,172 --> 00:08:44,841
We don't have a loyalty other than to this country.

87
00:08:44,841 --> 00:08:49,099
We will be victorious and we will be rid of this mentality.

88
00:08:49,099 --> 00:08:56,286
In Libya or abroad, we have to work for Libya because we will live in it, and it is our children's future

89
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:59,628
We must think about this and work for this.

90
00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:02,674
Don't say I have no role or no part to play.

91
00:09:02,674 --> 00:09:11,497
Don't just try and give up. Keep going. Because when we're all working from abroad

92
00:09:11,497 --> 00:09:17,817
and keeping the pressure on those who have people in the army

93
00:09:17,817 --> 00:09:23,850
we will be victorious and we will make his chances dwindle

94
00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:31,729
Because as the ring tightens he will be more...

95
00:09:31,729 --> 00:09:38,988
as they say the dancing of the slaughtered

96
00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:45,816
So we ask God to protect Libya, and that we can do something to help.

97
00:09:45,816 --> 00:09:49,082
We ask God to protect our terrorized children

98
00:09:49,082 --> 00:09:55,290
who have been cut off from their education and from everything, and are in constant terror

99
00:09:55,290 --> 00:10:01,150
God protect them and terrorize those who terrorized them

100
00:10:03,073 --> 00:10:06,442
But victory is near God willing

101
00:10:06,442 --> 00:10:09,756
All this doesn't break the people's will

102
00:10:09,756 --> 00:10:14,966
Especially when their cause is just in God's eyes, to lift injustice from the people

103
00:10:14,966 --> 00:10:18,074
and to create a country of justice and equality

104
00:10:18,074 --> 00:10:21,624
God willing we will be victorious and our will can't be broken

105
00:10:21,624 --> 00:10:32,930
God willing the Libyan people will bind their wounds and live in peace and unity
