احذروا مكائد القذافي

Peace be upon you. In recent days, events have been speeding up

and the regime has suffered some consecutive defeats

but they are still divorced from reality, living a fantasy

imagining they can turn back the wheel of time

still not understanding that people can say "No" to them

I mean, they are still bewildered

Everyone who knows anything in politics knows this regime is finished

If you bet on them, for your own interest, you're going to loose

by every measure

Even the international powers, that study their interests at each step, have abandoned them

It has become shameful to have a relationship with this regime

What I still can't understand is those people who are still defending the regime

The problem is, these people are free to think, they live outside Libya

and they try to find excuses, they lie and say this is a "crusader war" or whatever

What "crusader war"? He was about to burn Benghazi.

Then, when countries came and stopped this, you tell me "it's a crusader war"?

OK, so what is it he is doing? What do you call it?

There is no power or strength but in God.

To be honest I can't comprehend this, I can't understand those who are saying this.

It is bewildering.

Just quickly, I want to ask a question to all Libyans listening.

Who doesn't have a relative, or friend who was murdered in what is called April 7?

From '76 up to the mid-80's in the universities

Hangings in universities. Who? Who doesn't have a friend or relative who dissappeared at that time?

Who doesn't have a friend or relative who was killed in Chad? A pointless war, where in the end he said

"Here's Ozu, take it," and nothing happened.

Who of us doesn't know someone killed in Uganda, or disappeared in Uganda?

Or who was wounded and so was thrown into the sea?

Who among us doesn't have relatives who were injected with aids?

And those responsible were sentenced first to death then to life imprisonment, then released.

It's a farce.

The incident of the stadium. Youth who were cheering on a team, and as they were cheering

they were shot at with live ammunition.

And when you go to take the body of your son

you have to sign to say he was a criminal.

In 1984, in May, I remember this. They broadcast the executions and hangings at Iftar time

You go to break your fast, and they're showing people - martyrs Godwilling - on the gallows

and the humiliation of them, and worse than that

that the hangings and executions took place in their areas

where they were born, in front of their families and their children

the destruction of homes, each village in Libya has homes unjustly destroyed

the stealing of people's money and property.

Brothers, I can't comprehend. When we are close to getting rid of this tyrant

we find there are people still standing by him.

No one who has been forced into the compulsory military training

who has been tortured and dehumanized

as they say, break their pride so no one can think of doing anything

The terror at the checkpoints, at the borders, the invasions of homes and the rapes

Brothers, we are not in a country. I swear to you we are not in a country.

What has happened in Libya happens only in Israel. And Israel doesn't do this to their own people.

They do it to those they think they're in conflict with.

What I'm saying, and especially to those intellectuals abroad

who say they are educated and are still excusing and defending the regime.

Yesterday one of them sent me an email, saying this is a crusader war.

Crusader war? When he was going to burn Benghazi, why didn't you speak then?

Crusader war? All your friend has to do is step down. Go and stop the bloodletting.

If he was human, and felt anything, he would go to save the bloodletting.

The other thing I still can't understand, you who have people in the army, call them, tell them to stop

This is wrong, that young men should be led astray and be isolated, to burn in tanks so he can stay in power

The owner of the farm, like Libya is his farm

with people in it he doesn't consider people, he considers them rats, not even human.

And young men die for him. If even a fly were to die for him I'd say it's too much.

So please, keep calling, a thousand times to save even one person.

If you save even one, it would be like you've saved all humanity.

Let's all cooperate on this.

Look, the more the noose tightens around the regime

the more violent their response will be

and the more dirty tactics they will use

now we hear them stirring up tribalism, to light a tribal war

and he will do everything you can imagine

When you want to understand how they think

imagine there's a devil in front of you and imagines what he will be prepared to do

Now I expect him to take soldiers in civilian clothes and ask them to go to an area

and make it seem like it's a war between two civilian sides, between pro-Gaddafi and anti-Gaddafi

make it seem like a tribal war, a civil war, to derail the revolution and move it out of it's target

so our efforts abroad should be focused on two things

both in liberated areas and areas still not liberated

We can't let this chance go. We must carry on raising awareness

because in the end he is going. If they reach an agreement, his plane will carry ten or fifteen

and the others will stay. The Libyans will stay, and will live together on this earth and he will go.

There is no discussion about this. So we don't want any kind of his traps remaining.

We need to keep the contacts going so the revolution is not derailed from its goals

which are setting up a democratic country, freeing the land totally, a country of insititutions and law

and social justice, a Libya for all. Law, that's it.

Racial or tribal labelling must end. Our origins should be geographic - from this city or that.

We don't have a loyalty other than to this country.

We will be victorious and we will be rid of this mentality.

In Libya or abroad, we have to work for Libya because we will live in it, and it is our children's future

We must think about this and work for this.

Don't say I have no role or no part to play.

Don't just try and give up. Keep going. Because when we're all working from abroad

and keeping the pressure on those who have people in the army

we will be victorious and we will make his chances dwindle

Because as the ring tightens he will be more...

as they say the dancing of the slaughtered

So we ask God to protect Libya, and that we can do something to help.

We ask God to protect our terrorized children

who have been cut off from their education and from everything, and are in constant terror

God protect them and terrorize those who terrorized them

But victory is near God willing

All this doesn't break the people's will

Especially when their cause is just in God's eyes, to lift injustice from the people

and to create a country of justice and equality

God willing we will be victorious and our will can't be broken

God willing the Libyan people will bind their wounds and live in peace and unity
