[Report on speech made by Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi, chairman of the Revolution
Command Council in Tripoli on 4 April]

organs are waging in Tunisia and Egypt.
All sections of the people, workers, businessmen, peasants, students, civil servants
and other factions of the Libyan Arab people, as well as brother Arabs in Libya
participated in the mammoth march. The marchers carried pictures of the teacher
leader Jamal 'Abd an-Nasir and Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi. They also carried placards
denouncing and protesting the biased campaigns that are sounding from the trumpets
of imperialism, reaction and the agent rulers in Tunisia and Egypt. The marchers also
expressed their support for and cohesion with the Great 1 September Revolution, which
has established freedom and socialism for the struggling people.

Leader of the-revolution . Co'l Mu'ammar.al-Qadhdhafi delivered a speech to the. masses,
who?lauded the Great1 September Revolution and.its:,leader Colonel al-Qadhdhafi,.and,
the unity of the Arab nation.
In his speech, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi noted that he continues to rely, and will do so
forever, on the Libyan masses, upon whom he. relied.on the dawn of.the Great l:.
September when he made his historic appeal to the sons of the desert and-the sons
of the cities and of our beautiful villages. He said: I will personally make the-
same appeal if the.revolution or the Libyan .terr.itdries are threatened. ? I will
appeal to the Libyan Arab masses, who participated right..from the start-in the-plan
to detonate the revolution to clash with the foreign and reactionary'bases on the .?
dawn of the Great 1 September. Besides the free officers and soldiers,.I had no
other strength but them.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi stressed: I--envisioned this great mass march on the dawn of
1 September 1969 on the basis of the [word indistinct] which were recorded by our.
fathers and grandfathers [words indistinct]. These masses are capable of confronting
the enemies and of destroying them with the strength of their iron-will-known to
these masses when they confronted the fleets-of Italy and defeated:them.
He said: This mass march, which is believed 'to include. hundreds of-thousands of .-
young and old who believe-in the.Great 1 September Revolution and in its leaders and
in victory over its enemies, is the reply--arid no reply is-stronger than this--to
the surge of reaction and the surge of the U.S. fleets that support reaction in?the
Arab region. This is the popular power that destroyed U.S. might in Vietnam and in
Southeast Asia. It is capable of destroying the-U.S. fleets and the-weapons of the
citadels of reaction as it did on the night of the Great 1 September.
The revolution leader stressed that the Libyan regime is the strongest in the world
because the regime depends on the strength of the free masses. He-said: On this
historic day and with this popular power we challenge the police regimes, the
reactionary regimes-and the regimes that depend on foreign powers. We will triumph
over them, God willing.
Brother Colonel al-.Qadhdhafi said: We are looking-to the day when the Tunisian
people will hold ,a strong and.free meeting like -your meeting. . We today declare our
complete and-permanent historic alliance with the great Tunisian people so . that they.
can break the idols and shackles.and-can erase-the shame. We are looking to the day
when the Arab masses in Tunisia and Libya will join together and. when the borders are
destroyed. ..
He said: --We.are challenging the. reactionary police rule around us and the enemies
of Arabism and Islam with these masses and this popular strength. The will of God
and the will of the Libyan Arab people, who were once at the rear, are destined to
be today at the,vanguard, He added:, Your great. and splendid march,is stronger than
the reaction, in Tunisia and,Egypt.,?Your voices are stronger than the Middle East
radio, stronger than the radio and press of.the spies in,?Cairoand stronger than the
agent Tunis radio because your voices, emanate from-the believing hearts of.-free
masses,that_are. determined to wrest their;rights-and to destroy the enemies of the
Libyan Arab people, the Arab people, the Islamic world and the struggling-peoples
everywhere.

Colonel al-Qadhdhafi added: Look how strong your voice and your argument are, which are
deeds, and how weak their voice and argument are, which are agentry, shame, the disgrace
of Kilometer 101, the disgrace of the Deversoir, the disgrace of the Sinai agreement, the
destruction of the accomplishments of the masses, the squandering of the gains of the
peasants and workers, and the suppression of the popular forces in Egypt.
As for Tunisia, the logic of the Tunisian reaction is the logic of police rule and agentry
to the United States. Since one of the secret arrangements made by the Tunisian Governmet
is an agreement with the U.S. Fleet in the Mediterranean to save it if an attempt
is made to overthrow the-regime by the Tunisian people and army, then what value are
the memories of struggle in Tunisia if the result of this struggle is an independence under
the pntection of the United States and the shackling of the Tunisian people by police
force, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said.
He added: We have begun building our armed forces since the Great 1 September to prepare
them for a clash with the forces of imperialism and Zionism over the land of woufided
Palestine and for the liberation of Sinai and the Golan.
They is why,.he said, we have frozen all differences and conflicts. We wanted to main-
tain our silence and keep quiet about the humiliation--the humiliation of the Tunisian
and Egyptian peoples--so that we could inflict a decisive defeat on Zionism and liberate
the land, but the Tunisian and Egyptian reaction have sensed that their end is drawing
near and have transformed the battle from a pan-Arab battle against the enemy to a battle
of feuds over Arab territory. Since the Egyptian and Tunisian reaction have chosen the
battle, then we must prepare ourselves to-settle up with the Arab reaction.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi held the Egyptian and Tunisian reaction responsible for the battle
which Egypt has been waging since the start of its serious abominable deviation. We have
been patient with Egyptian reaction and have argued with it for a long time. We tried
to save whatever remained of t'ie Egyptian-Libyan relations and to build bridges of unity.
But they blew up the bridges. We tried to freeze our differences, but they insisted on
fighting us and insulting us. Colonel al-Qadhdhafi declared that since the Egyptian
reaction has decided to clash with the revolution, we are ready for it. If the revolu-
tion cannot stand firm, then to he]lwith it.
As of this day, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said, we state and affirm our alliance with the
Egyptian youth in the universities, with the Egyptian workers who have been robbed of
the gains realized for them by the 23 July revolution and with the peasant masses for
the restoration of the gains made for them by Jamal 'Arid an-Nasir. We also declare
our alliance with the downtrodden, the toilers and the oppressed who have been robbed
of their gains, had their dignity trampled upon and their morale broken. We declare
our alliance with the Egyptian popular forces who are interested in liberation, socialism,
unity, the destruction of feudalism and monopoly and the crushing of the exploiting
foreign capital.
The Egyptian reaction has gone far in directing insults against us, in attacking us and
in doing us injustice. For this reason, we ally ourselves with the heroic Egyptian Army,
which has been deprived of its arms while the Israelis crouch over the Egyptian territory,
the Egyptian army, which has been exposed to humiliation and degradation. The Egyptian
Army may maintain patience for long but it will never swallow humiliation nor accept
the disgrace of Kilometer 101.

ence of~drugs, to reveal the secrets of the Libyan Army, the secrets of military train-

He said: :Our assistance and our airplanes which fell'in Sinai, our sons who were.
martyred and our boats that crossed the Suez Canal have been met today with ingratitude
and disavowal. Today,, while the reaction is imposing a battle on us; we declare, that
we are capable of deciding the conflict in the'Ara?b region in favor of the masses and
in favor of freedom, socialism, right and liberation.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi r::oeked the Egyptian regimes s dependence on foreign -power. He said:
If foreign power could defend regimes then the British bases would have defended Faruq's
regime and the U.S. and British bases would have defended the monarchy In Libya. Thee
brother 'colonel said If foreign capital could def'end.national regimes, then the for-
eign capital invested' in Egypt would have defended Faruq. If the police force and the
repression of masses with brute force could defend?,a national. regime, then the monarchy
in Libya, would have remained because it possessed the power to oppress and had absolute
power.
Egyptian reaction.
The brother colonel added: , We have tried to breathe life in Ithe Tunisian regime. I.
visited Tunisia several times to breathe life into-this regime?so that through it we
would be able to do away with borders, to break the shackles that burden the Tunisian
people and. to draw the day of the inevitable unity nearer.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said: I was sincere in my contact with-the Tunisian regime for the
sake of the'lhigher interests of the Arab nation so that it would confront its enemy,
which is challenging it in Palestine and everywhere. The brother colonel added: I-have
repeatedly tried to clear my conscience with the Tunisian regime. But this regime has
done injustice to itself and committed an unforgivable historic mistake, after which
there can be no 'peace nor compromises with it.--'The contradictions will bring about a
clash. The Tunisian regime is realizing that it committed an ugly sin only a few' days
after declaring battle against us. The regime knows that the inevitable day of clash
between the enslaved toilin; masses and the regimes that'are opposed to progress. over
the Arab soil has 'drawn nearer.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi stressed that the U.S..aircraft carriers will not be able tot
extend the life of the reactionary regimes'that are against progress., These-fleets will
not be able to delay the inevitable end.of the; "regime that is hostile to the, peoples.
This is fate and destiny. It is the struggle between life and 'death. ; -It is 'the
inevitable struggle between good a-,4 evil. These regimes represent evil and 'aggression
on the Arab masses'. Hence, the U.S. fleets sailing in, the Mediterranean Sea will not
extend the life of these regimes. The roar of the nuclea;.-carrying Phantom planes over
the Huwaylis base in: Tripoli was-not able to extend the life of, the reactionary regime
for a single hour`.
The colonel added: The battle has been imposed on us. We did not expect the'dying
Tunisian reaction and the defeated Egyptian reaction to begin this battle.. We did not
expect the'?`reaction in Egypt and Tunisia to begin the attack and to challenge the
Libyan Arab people'in their pride'in the I September Revolution, which is the final
battle for-the generations of the great Libyan Arab people. [passage indistinct]

Brother al-Qadhdhafi affirmed that destiny has given the Libyan Arab people the responsi-
bility of commanding the battle of liberation, the battle of the social revolution, the
building of socialism the destruction of the past heritage and the unification of t'ie
Arab nation.
Destiny, he added, has decreed that you fight with the Lebanese people and with the
oppressed [maghlubah] peoples of Ireland and the Philippines. Destiny has decreed that
you shall shoulder the responsibility of instigating the revolution and unity from the
ocean to the gulf.
Brother Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said: When the mission of right was entrusted to the Arabs
in the Arabian Peninsula, they were backward, poor and small in number. They used camels
for transport and horses for fighting. However, they soon succeeded in spreading civili-
zation and guidance throughout Europe and Asia. Who could imagine that this small group
of people would in the end triumph over the empires of the Persians and the Romans?
He added: While we were fully preoccupied with our agricultural-reform and the construc-
tion of factories, hospitals and other development projects, using thousands of Tunisian
workers and hundreds of Egyptians, the reaction opened fire on us from both sides. We
feel now that the United States, which we have kicked out, is now trying to get back
in through the window. Foreign imperialism cannot accept seeing the Libyan people building
their economic, industrial, social and agricultural strength. It cannot accept to see
a third ideology spread throughout the world. So it has set the Tunisian and Egyptian
reaction to challenge us. We have begun to feel that there is no difference between these
two and Zionism and imperialism.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi declared: (?We are preparing to spread) the revolution and detonate
it in Tunisia and Egypt. This is because the presence of reaction on our borders threatens
all the revolutionary achievements and the'freedom that has been attained on Libyan soil.
It will also threaten the cultural revolution. Tackling the reaction on our borders
therefore, constitutes an act of self-defense.
He added: While the free unionist officers and their heroic soldiers led the past stage,
the coming battle is the battle of the Libyan people, because it is the battle of social
conflict am^ng the contradictions on the Arab soil. He affirmed that this battle will
not affect the implementation of the development plan, nor will it diminish our efforts
in harnessing the desert.
Our thinking, he said, has hitherto been concentrated on the economic side. But now,
it will include the building of our military power since the battle against the reactionary
regimes has become inevitable and victory in the end will be ours, because we are the
forces of good, because we-have been wronged and attacked and because we rely on the masses,
while they rely on foreign forces.
The United States, which supports them, has failed to score any victory [words indistinct]
in history. In World War II, it resbrbed to the atom bomb and yet failed to score any
victory--indeed its soldiers fled in defeat leaving behind their transport planes, war-
planes and ammunition. The American soldiers, he said, fought in Vietnam without faith
[words indistinct] or mission. They used to board the fighter planes and press the buttons
not caring where their bombs fell. These bombs often hit American targets. This is the
mythical American power on which the Tunisian and Egyptian regimes rely and with which
they defy us when the U.S. 6th fleet's units desecrate Alexandria and Bizerte.

The Egyptian and Tunisian regimes rely on the United States because-these two regimes
have no popular forces to support them. But we tell them that the,United States has
not been able to change the regime in Cuba, that small island whose 6 million people
are determined to live freely and which decided under the leadership of their leader
Castro that Cuba-.with its 6 millions may sink-,that they would live as freemen on their
island, alongside the United States. Thus, Cuba lived freely despite ,the United States.
Likewise, the Libyan-Arab Republic will live, raising the banners of freedom, socialism,
unity and liberation despite the United States.
You are not alone in the battlefield. You, can hear the voices of-the Syrian people,
the struggling Palestinian people, the loving Egyptian and Tunisian peoples,,-and the
Lebanese people,who.are,now fighting a battle against reaction and imperialism.
These voices which I hear now affirm to-us that we do not fight the battle for the sake
of the Libyan people alone but for the sake of the Arab nation from the ocean to the
gulf [words indistinct]. The masses of the Arab nation from the ocean to the gulf are
impatiently awaiting the moment when Tripoli will send out the call of liberation and
revolution and the call for the resumption of the revolutionary unionist tide which
ceased with the death of Jamal 'Abd an-Nasir.
Reaction fears the Libyan people and does not want them to make any progress lest they
become.an example to be followed in Tunisia, Egypt and in every part-of the Arab land.
Reaction wants to influence our plans for progress and building. We are determined that,
the progressive march will not stop until a house is built for every Libyan family, until
the whole of the desert which could be cultivated turns into green pastures and until a
factory rises in every town and a,. dam is built in every valley.
The leader of the revolution affirmed . that' the Tunisian Government wants to fight us in
our development plan. Thus it has asked us to send back-the thousands of Tunisian workers
who are now in Libya thinking that it can bring pressure on us [words indistinct] building
factories, farms, schools, hospitals and thousands of houses. We (?will) allow the Tunisian
workers [word indistinct] even in one batch, for we know that they will be the fuel for
the revolution and the emissaries of the Great l .September Revolution in Tunisia.
Colonel al-Qadhdhafi declared that most of the infiltrating Tunisian workers who had been
deported to Tunisia are now in prisons because the Tunisian ruling regime believes that
they were trained in popular resistance. These workers are being interrogated and tortured.
We are aware of the bad condition in which the Tunisian Government has placed itself by
recalling the thousands of workers. On the one hand, it is unable to provide them with,
work and on the other hand,; it suspects all.of them. The Tunisian Government will come
to realize that it has committed an abominable mistake against the Libyan people,-the
Tunisian people-and the Arab nation.
Colonel al=Qadhdhafl concluded: We have been waiting a long time for the resumption of
the unionist tide to destroy the borders,' to,confront the United States and.reaction.
(God knows we have been wronged and he is capable of.granting us victory.

The colonel's speech was interrupted scores of times by resounding chants from the masses.
The masses renewed their allegiance to the leader of the revolution, Col Mu'ammar al-
Qadhdhaf i, and declared their determination to march along the road Of the 1 September
Revolution until the realization of its sublime aims so that the banners of freedom,
socialism and unity remain high throughout the entire Arab homeland.
When he finished his speech, the marchers took the following oath: In the name of God,
the merciful, the compassionate. We swear by God the Almighty and his glorious Koran that
we will remain loyal to the Great 1 September Revolution and its leader the trustee of
Arab nationalism, Brother Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi, and his colleagues on the road to
freedom, socialism and unity. We will continue on the road, with God's help until we
realize our aspirations and ambitions, paying no attention to the doubters and defying
apostasy, agentry and imperialism, until the will of the Arab revolution and the Arab
man triumphs. God bear witness to what we say.
