AI-Qadhdhafi Addresses Sudanese People
/_DOS2300 Tripoli Voice ojthe Creaser Arab Homeland
in Arabic 2/30 CMT S Apr 85
[Address by Colonel Mu`ammar a1~2a?tdhafl}to the Sudanese
people on 5 April; place not given
[Text] In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful.
Prepare yourselves all you can. [Koran quotation]
(?1 convey) to the great Sudanese people the greetings of the
Great AI-Fateh from the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jama-
hiriyah. Good evening. Greetings to the burning revolution in
Khartoum, Omdurman, and in every province in fraternal
Sudan. Greetings to the great October Revolution which
destroyed the rotten military dictatorship, the dictatorship of
`Abbud [Sudanese military leader overthrown following demons-
tratons in October 1964] and his corrupt clique. The greetings of
the people's revolution to those who confront the fascist regime,
the regime of lackies, and the lackey Numayri and his clique.
The revolution is under way in Khartoum, Omdurman, and in
every province in the south, against the murderers, fascists,
traitors, lackies, the hirelings of America and the lackies of the
Israelis in the conquered capital [Cairo].
I say to you, our brothers in Sudan, that today, as yesterday, the
whole world, is attuned to your news. The whole Arab nation has
become one ear which listening to your news. The revolutionaries
in the Arab homeland are applauding you and are expressing
their readiness to [words indistinct] with you. The masses of the
Arab nation from the ocean to the Gulf are waiting for the hour
which [words indistinct] for salvation, the salvation of one of the
peoples of the conquered Arab nation, the nation against which
the enemies, the Americans and Israelis, have banded together
and dispatched wolves, agents, and murderers, such as the lackey
Numayri, the traitor, murderer, and lackey, who went to kiss the
dirty hands of the Christian Reagan. Numayri humiliated 20
million Sudanese. [words indistinct] of 20 million Sudanese and
took them to the White House to pray and humiliate himself and
[words indistinct] in the White House; he went subdued and
humiliated. This shame cannot be removed except by fire.
Brothers, sons of the great Sudanese people, as I have said to you,
the whole world is mesmerized by Sudan; it is waiting for the
outcome of the people's (?march) which (was adopted) by all the
masses of the revolutionary Sudanese people, who Numayri
sentenced to be excluded from the theater of life, action, and
effectiveness. He sentenced you to hunger and thirst while you
own rivers, the White and the Blue [Niles] and others. (?He
shamed you) in front of the world when he begged for water while
you own rivers. He begged from America, and refused the Libyan
Arab aid which we offered to our people in Sudan. [Words
indistinct] between him and you. He refused the honorable Arab
aid from a brother to his brother and went to beg from America.
Brothers, your news [words indistinct] is cut off from the world.
[Words indistinct] the agencies, [words indistinct and the observ-
ersare trying to obtain [words indistinct] the news of the people's
?
revolution in the Sudan. They could not, because the Sudan has
been completely cut off from the world for more than 24 hours.
The radio is cut off, communications have been cut off, flights
have been cut off.
We are worried about you. We do not precisely know the cause
of this interruption. We know that there is a total strike. I hope
that when the news of Sudan reaches the world tomorrow or the
day after, it will not be about the defeat of the will of the Arab
nation and the disappointment of the masses and revolutionaries
of the Arab nation, or about the return of the underling and the
dictatorships triumph once again, and the return of reaction and
fascism. We want the news of tomorrow and the day after
tomorrow to be joyful, giving rise to joy in the hearts of the sons
and free men of the Arab nation and weakening the determina-
tion of Reagan, the Israelis, and the imperialists -the enemies
of our Arab and Islamic nation, the enemies of Arabism and
Islam. When your news come tomorrow or the day after -
Saturday or Sunday - we want it to be news which makes us
happy and which is disheartening to the enemies. 1 would like
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to be a day of sorrow for
the underling Nunayri and the traitor Husni Mubarak - hire-
ling of Zionism, contemptible and base -and his underling
Numayri, and that it be a day of sorrow for the arrogant and old
man Reagan, who pretends to be youthful, and for imperialism
and the enemies of Arabism and Islam. We want Saturday and
Sunday to be days of joy and celebration for the Arab and Islamic
nation and for us all.
Brothers in fraternal Sudan, revolutionaries, Iwould like to
address you this evening from the soil of the Jamahiriyah, from
the state of the masses, which supports you, reinforces your
struggle, expresses your aspirations, and raises its voice high
without hesitation or fear of the imperialists and the colonialists.
It supports you and it incites you to revolution, onslaught, change,
and purge. Brothers, I speak to you and am following your news
as it arrives; and I am following the news of the world and what
it says about you. And from the position of pan-Arab responsibil-
ity and from the position of revolutionary Arab responsibility, 1
would like to say the following to you:
First; you should know that the fate of Sudan is today in the
hands of the people. But the people have not organized their
affairs in a way which makes them able to declare to the world
that they are the masters of their land. You believe that there is
a government. But I say to you from outside Sudan that now the
world does not recognize the existence of a government in Sudan.
The underling Numayri is fleeing from America to Cairo, and
he has said that he will goon to Pakistan. He is not able to enter
Sudan.
Husni Mubarak declared that he cannot face the Sudanese
people or the Sudanese revolution. No one can confront the
popular revolution in Sudan. But we can stand alongside you. Our
brothers in Ethiopia can also stand alongside you. The rev-
olutionaries in the south can march on to join you in the north.
You should know that Sudan is now without government. `Umar
al-Tayyib [Sudanese first vice president] is weak and trembling.
He is a good man and simple-hearted. He is not able to govern
Sudan.. Do not listen to him. He is a good man, and leave him

?
alone in his own house. The underling Numayri is fleeing. Only
General Siwar al-Dhahab, the commander of the Army, remains.
1 ask him to keep his patriotism and his position, of which we are
aware. [as heard] He should not give an order to the Army to
oppose the people. He should let the Army -every individual in
the Sudanese Army -define, today and tomorrow, his stand in
complete freedom and without orders. He who has patriotism and
conscience should take his stand alongside the Sudanese people,
and he who is a traitor, a fascist, and has no conscience should
take his stand alongside America, the Israelis, and the agents.
Siwar al-Dhahab, you will not be blamed if you have retreated
to your house. The matter is out of your hands. The reins of the
affairs (?have passed on) to the Army and the people. No one will
blame you. The people will put you on trial when they triumph.
[sentence as heard]
You have to preserve an honorable patriotic stand. Your mission
is to defend Sudan and not to kill the sons of Sudan. You are still
a fine man and have not joined any party. I hope that you will
not end your (?military) life by joining the devil's party, the party
of the lackey Numayri, and the rulers of the conquered city
[Cairo], who recognize Zionism, and over whom the Israeli flag
flies, and also the real enemies, the imperialists.
Police General `Abbas Madani: You are a brave and patriotic
man; I hope that in the end you will not be called a bloodythirsty
murderer because of your support for the lackey Numayri,
whokilled the sons of your homeland. You will be subjected to a
courtmartial, and will end your life as a bloodthirsty traitor if
you have ordered the police to combat the march of the Sudanese
people. This is the will of the people, and (?the mission of the
Army) is to defend the people. The police were created to defend
the people and the struggle of the people. If the people want to
change the regime, then combating the people is not the duty of
the police or the Army. You have to obey the people. What the
people want should be done.
Police General'Abbas Ahmad `Abd al-Karim, commander of the
Khartoum police: You are an excellent man of good reputation.
Do not end your life in a dirty way. I hope that you will leave to
the police the choice of either joining the people and going home
or of defending the devil. Then every policeman and police officer
will be responsible to the people when the people achieve victory
tomorrow or the day after. Sooner or later the people will
sentence everyone who fought against this people's revolution. I
hope that the police force, especially the Khartoum police, either
join the people or let every policeman make his own decision.
It is forbidden to distribute ammunition that can be used to kill
the masses of the Sudanese people. This is a crime which no one
will forgive. We will not forgive you if you distrivute live ammu-
nition. (?Live ammunition must be used to protect the people; not
to hurt them.) What remains is the Army, the Air Force, the
Navy, the Military Police, the (?Penal) Forces, the engineers, the
shock troops, the Central Reserve Force, the guards, and the
armored units. Each one of these groups must make its position
clear in these decisive hours because there is no government in
the Sudan which is responsible for issuing orders to you. You are
all sons of one people, and you are all facing a crisis. In this crisis,
the Sudanese people, either must emerge victorious over poverty,
injustice, hunger, and thirst, or the Sudanese people will be killed
and torn apart, and there will be massacres, which lackey
Numayri will commit if he returns.
If the lackey Numayri returns to Sudan, he will carry out
massacres similar to the revenge of 1976 and 1978. There will be
trials in the streets and massacres. To defend yourselves, you
must be sure the Tacky Numayri never returns to Sudan.
The armored forces -which are known for their heroism -the
paratroopers, the men of Ibrahim and Zayn al-Abidin, must
move the paratroopers and contribute in the success of the
people's revolution [as heard] You are the May revolutionaries.
Do not end your lives in a shameful way and humiliating way,
leaving a shameful heritage to your children; leave a glorious
record for your children to follow. You are the paratroops of May,
you are now launching a new May, the May of the people, the
May of socialism, the May of Islam, the May of the Arabs, the
May of freedom.
All the armored forces and the Air Force, the special forces, the
forces of the central reserves, the military police, the forces
manning the prisons, the engineering forces, each of these forces
is responsible to itself.
Each force is responsible to the masses of the people. Every
officer and soldier in these forces must examine his conscience
and his patriotism [words indistinct] from the conscience and
aspirations of the Arab nation, and must remember Palestine and
Lebanon, and the Israeli flag which is flying over the conquered
capital, the capital of Egypt, must remember the torn and
humiliated Arab nation, must be a man, and must shoulder his
responsibility toward the people.
We are watching yoti and recording your heroic stance, and we
also record any defeatist stance. It is a shame to go toward the
sea. [as heard] This is the sacred march. Do not flee. Rev-
olutionaries donot flee. ]brahim is one of the revolutionaries, and
Zayn al-Abidin is another. Hasan Khalid `Abbas is one of the
revolutionaries. AI-Qasim Hashim is one of the revolutionaries.
Ma`mun is another. Do not flee. Restore the revolutionary,
socialist, and united spirit of May.
I would also like to say to you our brothers that (?since you have
removed) the government, this is a golden opportunity to
announce a popular government, to announce the people's
authority. How do you establish the people's authority?
First, I call on you, if you can, at dawn if possible, to mobilize
5,000, 10,000, 20,000 people to seize the radio area. You should
have the radio technicians prepare the radio to operate; the radio
should be operational when you take it under your control.
You should march with these thousands on the radio area and
complete its seizure. `Abbas Madani, `Abbas Ahmad, `Abd
al-Karim, and Siwar al-Dhahab: You must not lay a hand on the
people while they are marching on the radio, or you will hvae
committed a crime and the people will severely punish you. l f you
are unable to join the people, you should remain in your houses
and you must not give orders against the people. You should give
the order that the task of the Army and the police is to defend

?
This is the right attitude of these forces during these decisive
hours: You are the sons of the fraternal Sudanese people; while
you are marching on the Omdurman radio, it is not important if
some of you become victims. Let there be martyrs on the way to
the radio, in order that the voice of the Sudanese be heard loudly
by the world. Let there be scores of martyrs, or even hundreds
and thousands. You are not cowards. You should do as the
Iranian people have done, sacrificing victim after victim until
they attained victory.
Those who die for the sake of God's way must not be regarded
as dead; they are alive. Numayri is fighting for Satan, and you
are fighting on the side of God, on the side of good, on the side
of the poor, the workers, the faith, and on the side of this
dismembered nation.
Tonight, march on the radio by the thousands. Surround all the
streets which lead to the radio. 1 will explain to you some of the
positions which should seized so that the popular masses win out.
AI-Hijrah Street, which is near the radio station, must be seized.
Radio Street, which leads to the Nile, should be seized. The
intersection in front of the `Abd al-Qayyum Gate and in front of
the Women's Teacher Training Center and the Omdurman
Prison -this gate must seized by the thousands of sons of the
Sudanese people so that roads leading to the radio station can be
closed. Nile Street, which leads to the radio station, must be
closed. This street should be closed by the thousands staging a
sit-in so that no forces coming from AI-Mawradah Street or any
direction from the side of the People's Palace are able to advance
toward the radio. This road must be closed. The same street from
the end of AI-Sumbat Bridge must be closed by the thousands,
so that traffic across the Nile is stopped.
In addition, the White Nile Bridge: if you can, close it in order
to ease pressure on the Omdurman side. These streets -Radio
Street, Nile Street, Al-Hijrah Street, AI-Sumbat Street, Al-
Sumbat Bridge, `Abd al-Qayyum Gate-all this area should be
occupied by the thousands of the masses, and then specific
elements together with the radio technicians should advance to
reopen the radio and broadcast the voice of the popular rev-
olution.
In addition, in order that the people can take control and rule in
the framework of the people's authority, all the forces which are
now participating in the revolution can send their emissaries and
representatives to form a council for leading the revolution.
[words indistinct] The Ansar can send a representative, and he
can be any leader from the Ansar. The Unionists can send a
representative. Ifthe Communist Party is participating with you,
then the representative of the Communist Party, Nuqud, or any
other. If the Muslim Brotherhood is participating with you, then
it can send a representative. Al-Turabi is in jail,'but they can
send a representative. Those units that join the Army can send a
representative. If thry join Aqsim Ibrahim or Zayn a1-Abidin, or
Khalid Ma`mun, or AI-Qasim Hashitn, and join the rev-
olutionary command council. [as heard] This council will only
manage the revolution, and then the people's authority should be
established.
?
How can the people's authority be established? ]n every district
in Khartoum, the masses must form a people's congress,
irrespective of their party, be it Unionist, Ansar, Communist,
Muslim Brotherhood and so forth. All of them must form a
people's congress. For instance, the district of [name indistinct]
forms a people's congress; the district of [name indistinct] forms
a people's congress; the District of (?Shahada`) forms a people's
congress; the Districts of (?Wad Lahu, AI-`Idah, Al-`As, Abu
Ruh, Al-Addasiyah, AI-Aratah, Balagh, Zaghluiah) -for
instance, all those in these districts in Omdurman and their
counterparts in Khartoum who control the streets and districts
form a people's congress, and select a secretariat for them. This
people's congress selects a people's committee for managing the
district. For instance, the District of Bayt al-Mal -its masses
form 3 people's committee for managing it. The masses control
the streets and alleys. This people's committee is responsible to
the people's congress, which comprises all the masses of this
district. This people's committee manages the issues, supplies,
traffic, health, education, electricity, all the urgent matters,
especially in matters of treatment, supplies, and work. Even if
one person from the Army became a traitor, and tried to hit the
people, he would not be able to storm a district such as the
District of Wadi Nabawi and kill all its population. He would not
be able to do this if the entire population of the district, men and
women, have barricaded the streets.
The masses around Omdurman radio must take to the streets and
occupy all the streets and alleys which lead to the radio, and must
not allow the police or the Army which oppose the people to pass
in these streets. The masses must. erect barricades and block any
movement. The men and women of Sudan must go out by the
thousands in these glorious immortal hours in the history of the
great Sudanese people and of the great Arab nation. You are
going to write the glory of the Arab nation and the glory of the
Islamic nation. You will defeat America and Israel in Omdur-
man. You will do this if you carry out these directives. Women
must go out to the streets and street corners and remain with their
children in the streets for 1 or 2 or 3 days until the victory of the
revolution. The men must also go out into the streets -even the
old men must go into the streets, all the streets which lead to the
city's vital functions. Occupy all the streets which lead to the
power stations, post office, radio, and the news agency. The
masses of men and women must go into the streets around these
vital centers and occupy them. They should allow the forces
which lead the masses to manage these centers.
A committee must be formed from the various forces, from the
Communists, the Muslim Brotherhood, Unionists; Ansar, and
the others, for managing the radio. Everyone must say what he
wants in the name of the Sudanese people. This is not a moment
for disunity. The lackey Numayri wants others to laugh and say
that the opposition consists of various factions, which will never
unite; and if they unite, Sudan will be liberated. We want to
transform their laughter into tears. We want to make Reagan
and the lackey Numayri weep. We would like you to rise to the
grave historic responsibility and to unite -Unionists, Ansar,
Communists, Muslim Brothers, others. You all have to unite and
form a people's committee to manage the radio, forma rev-
olutionary command council, and announce the establishment of
congresses and committees everywhere.

Through the radio I call on the Sudanese people to block the
streets, l call on the Sudanese people to form people's congresses
in every district and in all provinces. Through the radio, issue the
revolutionary directives necessary for forming the people's com-
mittees to replace the government and establish the people's
authority. The masses are to form people's congresses and select
people's committees for managing the amenities and the country.
The people's committees are the executive authority responsible
to the people's congresses, and the people's congresses are the
leaders and legislature.
As for the revolutionary forces which are now leading the dem-
onstrations, these are the revolutionary forces which will enable
the masses to capture every position, to form the people's con-
gresses, and to select people's committees of technicians and
administrators who can manage the amenities.
All those who are leading the demonstrations today should turn
these demonstrations and the strike from negative to positive,
they should turn it into a revolution, a change, the birth of the
power of the great Sudanese people. The Sudanese people must
not once again fall into the hands of a new `Abbud [a former
president], the hands of a new lackey, a new Numayri. Fascism
must not be repeated and that despotism must not be repeated
and that dictatorship must not be repeated and that factionalism
must not be repeated.,
This is the age of the masses. Brothers, you (?should take over)
the radio; you should occupy it immediately. You should generate
electricity and let it reach every house. The doctors should seize
the hospitals instead of the strike. They should operate the
hospitals in the name of the people's authority. They should form
popular committees, consisting of nurses and doctors, to run the
hospitals and expel the former governmental authority and the
former governmental directors.
All those who used to work for Numayri at the radio should be
expelled. The electricity, the airport, all the amenities, all should
have new elements and the government elements should be
expelled which do not support the Sudanese people's revolution.
However, brothers, you must not shut down the radio and the
electricity as there are surgical operations, there are patients,
there are women who are giving birth. There are emergency
medical cases. Electricity is essential. First aid is essential.
Return to the electrical generators and return to the hospitals.
But form popular committees to run them. Expel the former
government officials. Operate them for the benefit of the people.
Seize everything for the benefit of the people. The strike has had
its purpose, but it should lead to the rise of the popular revolution
to change and to the rise of the Jamahiriyah and the popular
authority in Sudan. The strike should not continue in a negative
manner, so that the popular forces which you are moving and
leading, may not weaken, and so that colonialism may not come
and enter. There could be a conspiracy from America or the
Egyptians or the other reactionaries. Do not let time pass without
final decision. Today, with this strike, you have control over
Sudan. The lackey Numayri is finished. He fled to Pakistan. He
will not be able to return to Sudan.
?
against the people. Therefore, the people should now declare their
authority and will in an organized way. You should declare
congresses and committees eveyrwhere. There is no democracy
without popular congresses. You should call on the workers to
seize factories, to be partners and not laborers. They should
become partners in the production. The workers should seize
factories. You should not quarrel among yourselves lest you fail
and your thrust weaken. You must not say: This one is a Com-
munist and that one is a Brotherhood member and this one is a
(?secessionist) and that is a Unionist. This is what the lackey
Numayri is seeking, so that he can enter into your ranks.
This is not a moment of disunity or struggle (?for power). This is
the moment of the entire Sudanese people. This is an expression
of the revolutionary Arab nation. Tomorrow, another Arab
nation will follow your example, and do as you are doing. l do not
believe that there is a single Sudanese soldier who would stoop
so low in treason as to fire his bullets on the people while they are
marching on the radio station to declare (?the end of Numayri).
We are with you. All our potentials are with you. All we possess
is at your disposal. Ask for anything. We are with you. We do
not interfere but we meet your appeal. We are ready from every
direction. Therefore, I propose to you that you send a delegation
and take over control of the airport. The airport is like the radio,
the electricity and everything else, a vital amenity which must be
seized and run by a popular committee, or run by a free officer
who is one of the people.
You should give permission for one plane to take off from the
airport. Send a deleaation which represents all these forces and
let it come to Libya. W hen you notify us that there will be a plane
carrying a delegation of the Sudanese people coming to Libya,
we will receive it at any base or any airport where you wish to
land, so we may coordinate our affairs. This is the battle of the
Arab nation. 1 want all the Arab nation to take part with you,
and bandage your wounds. When you triumph a new dawn will
emerge over Sudan and the Arab nation. Darkness will descend
on the capitals of the enemies, who are gloating, who want to
suppress (?you).
[Words indistinct]They want to extinguish God's light with their
mouths, but God will continue to shine his light. We must not let
these enemies gloat. You should not quarrel now. Today, you are
like the ark of Noah. You should either gather all the paradoxes
and sail to the shore of safety or all the dynamic forces -even
when they are conflicting one other -will drown and die. All of
you will reap your punishment by persecution and bloodbaths if
the lackey Numayri returns. So you should unite for the sake of
your own skins and necks. This man will not hesitate to set
gallows in the streets, this coward and underling and ingrate, the
butcher of the Sudanese people.
Tomorrow when you triumph we will turn Sudan into a wheat
farm and poverty will vanish as we supply the entire Arab nation
from the produce of Sudan. Tomorrow, we will turn the waters
of the Nile into gold. Tomorrow, Sudan will become a paradise,
God willing. Tomorrow, the large pumps will start to operate and
draw the water from Nile to irrigate its two banks, and the land
will become green. Tomorrow, the tractors will march together
with mechanical tractors in all parts of Sudan. We will (?earn

?
our livelihood) by the our sweat and from our land which is a gift
to us from God and which we must liberate whatever the cost.
And that we should live in it with pride-under the sun despite the
will of the enemies.
During these immortal moments, one must not spare his (?soul)
of blood. All the Sudanese tribes should seize the areas in which
they live. Where are the tribes of (Al-Bishr, AI-Mirar, AI-
Bashshariyyin, Al-Halganah, Bani `Amir)? Where are (AI-
Ja`Liyyin, Al-Sha`igiyyah), the Nubians? Where are the tribes
of (Dayir) Hamid, (AI-Kawahilah, AI-Shanabilah and Al-Humr,
AI-Misayriyyah and Al-Baggarah, AI-Buraygat, Al-Bulawbah,
AI-Na`aliyyah, AI-Fawr, Al-Miduq, Al-Burigin, Al-Kababish,
AI-Hawawir? Where are the tribes of the south? Where the the
tribes of (AI-Masa`id, Al-`Abdalat) in the central region and
where are (AI-Shukriyyah, AI-Dabbahiyyah, Al-Halawiyyin, AI-
Falawwin, AI-Hutiyyin, Al-Lahandah, Al-Jumay`at), and where
are the tribes of south (AI-Dinka, AI-Shilkah, Al-Luway; AI-
Shalik, AI-Luwayr, AI-Tabusah, Al-Lihiyyah, Al-Istiwayyiah,
AI-Zandi, AI-Abbari, AI-Latyugah? Will they join Garang in
the south and march toward the north? Will our revolutionary
brother Garang quickly march toward the north so that he will
be in contact with his brothers in Khartoum?
The hour of salvation has struck. The masses of all the regions
should seize the capitals. All the capitals of the regions should
join the popular revolutions. They should send telegrams. You
should operate the post office through a popular committee. The
masses which live around the post office should stay in the streets
so that no hostile forces will be allowed to reach the post office.
You should operate the post office which sends telegrams from
all the regions to Omdurman so that these telegrams may be
braodcast and the world will hear that the people in every region
has seized power.
1 would like to address myself to our brothers in (Al-Fashir,
Darfur, Kurdufan, AI-Ubayyid, Kasala, Juba, Wau), Port
Sudan, (Wad Madani), our brothers in all these areas. Atbarah
- I say to you that there is no government in Omdurman; you
should declare rebellion, and declare a people's government in
these areas. Let popular governments be declared in Atbarah,
Port Sudan, (Kurdufan, Darfur, Wad Madani, Al-Ubayyid and
Al-Fashir); also in the south, in Juba, Wau, Kasala, Sharq.
The peasants should seize the land where they are. The workers
should seize the factories in which they are working and form
popular committees to run them and they should become popular
congress in the factory. Popular power should be declared today
and not tomorrow in all Sudan before it is too late. When popular
authority is declared and when you request that we support you
before the world we will then put our weight alongside you, come
what may. Let us march forward and the struggle will continue.
Let us go forward. The struggle will continue until final victory,
until we avenge our martyrs, and until the darkness is lifted, until
a new dawn may arise, the dawn of freedom, the dawn of pride,

in Sudan, let us go forward, and the struggle will continue until
final victory. It is quite near. Your appointment is dawn, and is
it not near?

Sudanese people who offered martyrs to bring down his failed
regime. The statement called on the deposed lackey Numayri,
his brother Mustafa, and the rest of his family to return the
money which they stole and put in American and Western banks,

On this blessed day, 6 April, the heroic Sudanese people rose in
a great popular revolution. On this great day the Arab nation and
its popular masses celebrate the popular revolution of the Suda-
nese people. On this great day, the holy Arab march commenced
from the south of our great Arab homeland, this holy popular
march which will not end except in Palestine. On this day, 6
April, the Sudanese people surprised the whole world, within less
than one generation, by two great popular revolutions: the 21
October 1964 Revolution and today's new green October rev-
olution, the 6th April 1985 Revolution.
Today we salute our great Sudanese people whose current upris-
ing started on 26 March and has lasted 12 days. This people has
risen, men and women all over Sudan, in its cities and villages,
in this magnificent popular uprising which overthrew the May
government and before whose holy march the Sudanese state has
collapsed.
Today we are here in the advanced bastion of the Arab rev-
olution; the land of the Great Fateh [1 September], in the name
of the Arab Sudanese masses in their thundering march in
Tripoli, we extend our highest forms of thanks and gratitude to
the guardian of Arab nationalism. [applause] [Anti-Numayri

You have proclaimed to the world with all bravery and courage
that you are with the Sudanese people and that you will not

drowned out by chanting of anti-Numayri slogans].
You have stood with us, you custodian ofpan-Arabism, over more
than ]0 years while the Sudanese people have been struggling
day and night in order to overthrow this hireling May Regime.
Today the valiant Sudanese people rewards you and says to you:
Your words are the truth; your views are the truth and the
people's revolution is the revolution of the future. [chanting of
slogans: People's revolution in Sudan; Jamahiriyah in Sudan].
Yes, great leader: Your pioneering thought is universally being
proven right. [slogans: AI-gadhdhafi is the hope, the conscience,
the soul of the nation]. Yes, leader, this is the march of 22 million
people of the Arab Sudanese people, who have written down with
their souls, their blood, their sweat that your thought is the
pioneering thought, the thought of tomorrow, and that the peo-
ple's revolution that triumphed today in Sudan will move on from
Sudan to Egypt, to every single inch of the Arab land until the
Arab People's Socialist Jamahiriyah is realized from the ocean
to the Gulf.
Today, in these eternal hours and thanks to the struggle of the
Arab Sudanese people, our Arab nation is living eternal days; the
Arab nation is living an eternal phase. The Arab nation is living
in a new situation which transforms it from the state of deterio-
ration to the state of the holy march which will not end except in
Palestine. [cheers] This holy march by our immortal Arab nation
will not end except in Palestine. On this day, and from the south
of our beloved homeland, the heroic Sudanese people, in this day
the heroic Sudanese people is writing, together with this fraternal
people of Libya, a new epic. [cheers] On this day, Khartoum
embraces Tripoli. On this day, the socialist popular Arab rev-
olution extends from the Mediterranean to the Equator. [cheers]
On this day, the Arab nation is born again, a new genuine birth.
On this day the reckoning for the Arab popular masses commen-
ces. On this day the end of the Arab reaction begins, and the end
of the Arab hireling begins. On this day, with all loyally, we
advance towards the Libyan Arab people, who gave our Sudanese
popular revolution the most precious of what they owned and who
stood by us in a stand which will not be forgotten by the Sudanese
