Muammar Qaddafi, who holds absolute power for 42 years, not the president of Libya, it can not resign from any position. And in the North African country, torn apart by a popular uprising that has unleashed a harsh crackdown and an unprecedented exodus, there are no internal problems. In his third televised address since the riots erupted, the Libyan dictator, more relaxed than ever, has drawn a surreal landscape of the situation in his country.
The colonel, cornered by the international community that requires his resignation and the rebels are gaining ground on its way to Tripoli, has returned to accuse Al Qaeda and international terrorism to be behind the start of the riots that have been against strings to his regime. But it has not shown signs of surrender: "We will fight to the last drop of blood against terrorism in Libya, inch by inch." Before a small group of faithful in Tripoli who chanted "is the only leader Muammar," the Libyan leader has defied the UN and NATO by asking them to initiate investigations and provide evidence of alleged war crimes against him.
"I challenge him to prove the deaths of peaceful demonstrators. In America, in France or elsewhere, if people attacked military installations and try to steal weapons are fired." Gaddafi believes that hides behind the uprising "a conspiracy to control the oil and Libyan territory." The blood shed in the protests is not the same for Qaddafi that the international community.
The Libyan leader has said the death tolls are exaggerated and suggested that only 150 people have died. Independent sources of NGOs and international agencies estimate that 2,000 people have been killed in two weeks of conflict. "There are no protests in the east of the country," said Gaddafi, who has been attributed to "Al Qaeda sleeper cells" instability in that part of Libya.
He has also returned to accuse the international media not to report what is happening in the country. "The news coming out of agencies that have no correspondents in Libya," he said. Then, has elevated the tone of his threats to ensure that any military intervention in Libya will trigger the death of thousands of Libyans.
"Do they want to become slaves again, like when we were slaves to the Italians?" He asked Gaddafi. "Never accept. Enter into a bloody war and thousands and thousands of Libyans would die if the U.S. or NATO attack us."
