While the protests and fighting has ceased to agitate Libya, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi urged his supporters to fight on Friday in a surprise public appearance in Tripoli. At the same time, the international community is preparing its response to a situation more and more confused. "LIVE AND DIE IN LIBYA" To everyone's surprise, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi appeared Friday on the Green Square in Tripoli and asked his supporters to prepare to "defend Libya," according to images broadcast by television to State.
"We will fight and we can beat them," he told the crowd at the 11th day of an uprising in his country, according to live images from state television. "If necessary, we will be opening all armories to arm all the people," he said speaking from the ramparts overlooking the green square which had gathered hundreds of his supporters.
The Libyan people "like Gaddafi," he also said the Libyan leader. "We are the country's dignity and integrity, this country has triumphed in Italy," he said, referring to the former colonial power. "You must dance, sing and get ready (...) Your mind is stronger than all the attempts of foreigners and enemies to destroy you," he shouted.
More and more inflamed, the Libyan leader said: "Muammar Gaddafi is among you. I'm with the people and we will fight and we will kill them if they so wish. "" Look at the people's strength. That is the strength of the people that can not be defeated. "" Do what you want. You're free to dance, sing and have fun on every seat throughout the night.
Muammar Gaddafi is one of you. Dance, sing, rejoice! "This intervention follows uneinterview granted by the chief spokesman for Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam, the television channel CNN-Turk, during which he assured that the government controlled the situation. "We have plans A, B and C. Plan A is to live and die in Libya.
Plan B is to live and die in Libya. Plan C is to live and die in Libya, "he said." Mr. Gaddafi is a fool "The number of deaths in Libya is in the thousands, not hundreds," said the deputy ambassador of the Libyan Mission to the UN, Ibrahim Dabbashi, at a press conference. "I call the international community to intervene now and send a clear message to Colonel Gaddafi that the killings must stop immediately.
Otherwise I think he will continue these murders, "the diplomat said in a loud voice." I think the number of dead has (already) by the thousands. It is difficult to know exactly as they recovered the bodies and take them in the desert or somewhere. I'm sure the number is in the thousands, not hundreds, "he stressed." Mr.
Gaddafi is a fool. It is psychologically unstable, "he said Dabbashi, speaking in the offices of the Libyan Mission to the UN." Mr. Qaddafi has a choice between being killed or committing suicide. He could try to send some members of his family abroad, but I think he prefers to die in Libya because of his narcissistic character.
He wants to be a hero, "argued Mr. Dabbashi. Firefight in protest against Tripoli won Gaddafi in Tripoli and neighborhoods, witnesses said security forces killed several protesters in the Libyan capital. Opponents control the two main towns, Benghazi in eastern and western Misrata. In other key cities, the soldiers are defeated Qaddafi, as Zaouiah oil city 50 km from Tripoli, or changed to the enemy, as Adjabia in the Gulf of Sirte.
Lanouf Ras and Marsa el Brega, the two major oil terminals in the country west of Adjabia, are also controlled by the rebels residents said. Besides Tripoli, Gaddafi did longer control its stronghold among the Sirte Libyan cities, almost all located on the coast. The events announced on this day of prayer in Tripoli, which was deserted for several days, have taken place according to several witnesses.
Gathered outside the mosque, protesters then tried to converge on the Place Verte. Government forces fired on crowds in the neighborhood Djanzour in the west of Tripoli, according to a resident who identified five to seven deaths. Another witness said that snipers killed demonstrators in the capital.
At each gathering, security forces fired into the air to disperse the crowd, with success in some areas but not in others, said a resident at. Another witness, neighborhoods of Tripoli are now controlled by opponents. "Some neighborhoods are controlled by the opposition, others, mainly those around Bab al Azizia, are controlled by supporters of Gaddafi and the army," he said, referring to the district of residence of the Libyan leader .
"We stay with us. It's too dangerous to go out in Tripoli." Information are generally difficult to verify, foreign journalists can not travel to the west and telephone networks and the Internet are often inaccessible. In areas conquered by the rebels, including Benghazi, committees created ex nihilo and composed of doctors, lawyers, military and tribal leaders seem to work.
The totalitarian rule of the "Guide of the Revolution" has wiped out any political structure. Radical Islamists, accused of plotting with al-Gaddafi revolt, does not seem to enjoy it. A minister who left the government this week predicted that Gaddafi would eventually "like Hitler" by committing suicide.
FREEZE OF ASSETS AND HUMANITARIAN U.S. officials believe that maintaining the power of Gaddafi depend greatly among elite battalion led by his son, Khamis, while the rest of the army suffered a mass desertion. The fighting has made "thousands" of dead since the start of the uprising nine days ago, said the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the United Nations, Navi Pillay, calling for international intervention to protect civilians.
But the prospect of coordinated action against Gaddafi seems remote. Asked in Ankara, Nicolas Sarkozy has demanded the departure of Libyan leader: "Gaddafi must go," he said, explaining that he had considered "with great caution and reserve" the hypothesis of military intervention , that Washington does not rule immediately.
The European Union has already decided to declare an embargo on arms and equipment of repression, as well as asset freezes and visa bans against Muammar Gaddafi and his family. According to a German government source, the sanctions could come into force "early next week." At the same time, the Security Council of the United Nations announced consider a draft resolution calling for the Franco-British embargo on arms, but also sanctions and referral to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
However, no vote expected before next week. The major powers also focus on the evacuation of thousands of foreigners trapped there. The ruling almost total shipments of Libyan oil is another source of concern but the assurances by Saudi Arabia, who promised to overcome the decision of the Libyan production, have reduced the Sea Brent North cons close to $ 111 $ 120 Thursday.
By late afternoon, the UAE and Qatar have announced the shipment of humanitarian aid had the Libyan people. The UAE foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan said "two planes loaded with humanitarian aid (would) leave the Emirates on Saturday for Libya via Turkey to meet the needs of the Libyan people," according to the agency Emirati official WAM.
Qatar has also sent a plane Friday to help Libya, according to a spokesman for the national carrier Qatar Airways to land in the city of Benghazi, the second largest city now in the hands of insurgents.
