AI-Qadhdhafi Speech Marks Expulsion of U.S. Bases
LD/ I1720 Tripoli Television Service in Arabic

[Speech by Libyan leader Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi on 11 June
to mark the 16th anniversary of the expulsion of the U.S. bases
from Libya; place not specified -live or recorded]
[Text] [Words indistinct] May God bring back this day to the
revolutionaries of the Arab nation in victory and to the coward
and submissive rulers of the Arab nation in defeat and loss. May
God make this day a blessed day for the progressive revolutionary
Arab movement and anill-omened day for the rulers of the Arab
nation and its reactionary forces which are drowning in humili-
ation and subservience.
On this occasion, I wish to speak about current issues and say
something about the future.
While we are celebrating the anniversary of the expulsion of the
U.S. forces, we are facing a cruel and unjustified attempt aimed
at the returning of these forces to Libyan territory again. The
United States is angry because it suffered a defeat at the hands
of the Great 1 September revolutionaries, because their forces
were evicted from Libyan territory, and because the five bases
that existed on Libyan territory were being undermined in the
days of humiliating independence [as heard] and the days of the
traitorous coward and defunct royalty; in the days of its deputies,
ministers, and ambassadors and all those who were part of the
disdained humiliated era; and in the days of a national flag and
a recorded national anthem championed by that agent [not
further identified) toget:-er with all those who took part in the
defunct regime who share the disgrace, shame, national treason,
and cowardice - be they small or big.
May the curse of the Libyan people be upon them on this day of
evacuation, and upon them the [word indistinct] of the martyrs
on the day of evacuation. That moment was considered to be a
form of independence such as the Arab states have now. But the
revolution exposed the truth and showed that was in fact occupa-
tion, not independence. We have independence and freedom
today which is why the United States is trying by force to return
to this land; but it is being turned away defeated. This shows that
this is a free country which defends its independence. The U.S.
forces are now advancing in Egypt and are not being turned
away; on the contrary they are being welcomed, received, and
hosted. They are carrying out maneuvers to occupy Egypt one
day and they practice maneuvers so they can implement them in
occupying Libya. The U.S. raids on Libyan soil prove that this
land is free and dear and that it resists; it is no simple matter to
enter it or for the dirty American foot to step on it. So, the
attempts which the United States is making now are aimed at
returning their forces to the same bases from which they were
expelled. This in itself is an indication that this country is now
free and is resisting this return. And indeed, the United States
was defeated in its attempt to enter the Gulf of Sidra; it was
defeated in its attempt to enter Tripoli and Banghazi and in the
attempt to reach its goal.
On this occasion we are celebrating the anniversary of the
expulsion of the forces whose dangerous presence on Libyan soil
before 1970 cannot be underestimated. The United States used
to maintain the biggest bases outside its territory on Libyan soil
and it used to occupy the long coast of the Arab homeland.
It controlled the Gulf of Sidra from inside Libya. It was also in
control of the southern Mediterranean and conducted its impe-
rialiststrategy from inside Libyan territory. It controlled Libya's
air, land, and sea from these bases. Britain also maintained full
military control over the east of the country which it secured after
World War II. [t used the Adem base in Tubruq as a support
point, and its forces in the Mediterranean and in Europe came
and held annual maneuvers without permission from and without
telling the Libyans. They crossed from the Gulf of Bumbah, the
port of Tubruq, and the Adem base to hold maneuvers in the
Batnan hills and in the Jabal al-Akhdar as if they were part of
Britain.
Britain too is very angry that it was deprived of this possibility
after the revolution. It used to occupy an Arab land and a base
situated on the border between Libya and Egypt which has a
strategic importance in fighting Arab unity, the Arab revolution,
and the growing Arab nationalist movement. Despite the fact
that it was defeated and deprived of all this by the insurgents of
the Great 1 September Revolution, Britain felt the same rancour
and wrath as the United States and shares the desire to try and
return to these bases it was driven out of. Therefore, the aggres-
sion becomes clear. It was a direct American-British aggression,
[carried out with the help of] the platform offered by NATO to
this aggression in the form of bases and facilities in Italy and
Spain as well as in Turkey and the rest of the occupied areas; as
well as the Arab areas which are considered to be semi-occupied
and whose independence is regarded as false and which are
considered to be under effective control even though they appear
to be independent states. The Arab states around us have been
submissive and subjugated and they bowed before the U.S.
aggression and offered all their facilities to the U.S. fleet.
However, the day will come when they have to pay the price. The
United States will not save them when the greatest crisis occurs,
when the revolution will be inevitable, and when their fate will
be the same as the fate of the shah of Iran, Idris al-Sanusi, and
Haile Selassie. I know that they will not learn their lessen until
they have been toppled.
We celebrate this anniversary of the evacuation of the U.S. forces
from Libyan territory on 11 June while we are witnessing an
attempt to return by force. From this we learn that the choice of
Libya to build U.S. and British bases on its land is a strategic
choice to benefit the Western powers which are hostile to us. So,
the occurrence of the revolution and the evacuation of these bases
do not cancel the strategic importance of Libya to Western
countries. Libya is still of strategic importance for Western
countries in their international conflict and for controlling the
Mediterranean, Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, North Africa, and
the Mediterranean. [repetition of `Mediterranean' asheard] They
are trying to move closer to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact to
surround them so that they could defeat them if another world
war occurred. The strategic importance of Libya remains firm
and quite valuable for these colonialist countries. Therefore, their

evacuation from Libya does not cancel the strategic importance
of Libya as far as they ace concerned. The location of Libya is
very important` to anyone who wants to control the Mediterra-
nean, or North Africa, oi? even to influence Central?Africa,'the
Arab region, or even the European region. - '
I want to show the Libyans that the position of their country is
very dangerous and strategically sensitive. Whoever controls it
can control-the region and has a number of strategical keys in its
hands. Thus, the attempt to control this tempting position
prompts new aggressions. In addition to the fact that the pop-
ulation is small, the surface area is very large and Libya's
potential ishuge - to the extent that the Libyans cannot manage
it.? I mean, the Western countries and the 'Zionists too have
,always studied and asserted that Jabal al-Akhdar is not fully
utilized, the Libyans are not able to exploit it, and therefore this
Jabal must be occupied. This was?the very good reason why Italy
occupied Libya in 1911. At that itme they used to say that
Libya's map was merely a piece of paper except fog Jabal
al-Akhdar. They say that oil is too big a resource for the Libyans
and they cannot exploit it. What do the Libyans do with this
wealth? They cannot exploit it usefully. They say the Libyans
are not educated, that they are ignorant and therefore cannot
manage (?this resource). The colonialist pretext is always there.
Wherever there is a vaccuum it must be filled; it is a natural thing
that wherever there is a vaccuum it' must be filled. "As we have
repeatedly said, whenever there is an area of low air pressure, air
from a higher pressure zone will come and fill it: This is why wind
disturbances, storms, and even rain occur.
The vacuum is always filled in. But what has been filled in cannot
be filled in a second time; like a glass full of water when you bring
in another glass of water to pour into it. If it is empty you bring
in another glass of water?to fill it. This aggression is in fact aimed
at Arab leadership, Islamic leadership, African leadership, and
revolutionary leadership. It is against Arab revolution because it
is an established fact. There is no justification for it; not because
an American was killed at a club in Berlin or a plane was hit.
Even if this happened, even if the perpetrator was a Libyan he
could be taken to court in Berlin, or Rome or Athens. At this
moment they still do not know who carried out these operations.
Do not try to find justifications for the aggression. The aggression
was aimed at controlling the Arab nation and undermining the
strong shout which was raised at the dawn of 1 September
Revolution in 1969. The aggression was aimed at destroying the
Arab nation and guaranteeing the existence of the Israelis in the
Arab region. The Arab nation must be occupied to' effectively
ensure the existence of the Israelis in the future and to put an end
to the problem of so-called Judaism, so that Europe can get rid
of the problem of Jews by establishing a state 'for them in the
Arab nation and at the expense of the Arabs. Then in the future,
the occupation of the Arab nation is plausible; the occupation of
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, and
Morocco is plausible. All these Arab countries and the states of
the Arab peninsula can be occupied plausibly to ensure the
existence of the Israelis in the future. Obviously, [word indistinct]
several things out of the reality of its analysis and what it {word
indistinct]. Omhl June 1977 at Darnah; I delivered,a speech and
I talked about what has now happened in 1986. ~~People,who
listened then applauded and after that it was entered in the
national register and it was not heard again. I will tell the radio
Q 2 ~ NORTH AFRICA
to rebroadcast it during the coming few day"s to prove that what
I said in 1977 has been proved now. I said that this desire to
control Libya has been evidenYsince the 18th Century. ?
In April' 1805 when the `United States attack took place -
imagine it, against Darnah'by the U.S. fleet; four U.S: destroyers
shelled Darnah on April 1805 'so that the United States could
occupy Darnah and Tripoli -during that time did Berlin exist?
And [words indistinct] or even the Palestinian cause? Or Al-
Qadhdhafl? Orsomeone called Abu Nidal, or the presence of the
Palestinian resistance, or the fact that there are operations
against U.S: imperialism all over the world? The entire world
hates the United States and fights it everywhere. If we'have to
pay the price for all operations against the United States this
means that they have to attack us a hundred times every day.
The whole world hates the United States and pursues it every-
~,where: Several operations against the United States will take
?,place there. We are [word indistinct] for it. All peoples are now
`'fighting-against ~-mperialism: Do'we instigate every -incident
against the United States? [Words indistinct) tyranny, injustice
is instigated by.force because the United States, formerly com-
posed of fifty countries has become one single state.' We the
Arabs are composed of 20 states and we are trying to become 21
states; and if we become 22 states, afterward we will be weak. As
long as our number increases we will become weak. If the Arab
nation was one nation the United States would not have dared to
threaten Libya, Syria, or any Arab country. It has restricted the
call for Arab unity which we have raised since the beginning of
the revolution [words indistinct] for the establishment of Arab
unity. There are those who are aware of the necessity of unity; I
mean the necessity without which the Arabs will be harmed. This
is the meaning of the word necessity in the Arabic language -
a word which we utter thousands of times every day, we say
necessary, 'necessary, necessary [word indistinct]. This is not
related to [word indistinct]. If unity does not exist this will be
harmful. Human beings need air; without air a person will come
to harm. This is why we say something is necessary, when we say
that Arab unity is~necessary; this means that without it the Arab
nation will be harmed. In fact this aggression is harmful; the
occupation of Palestine is harmful; bombing Tunisia is harmful;
bombing Lebonon is harmful; the Palestinian resistance and the
Palestinian people who are being destroyed -all this is harmful
to the Arab nation. Therefore, Arab unity is necessary. It will
ward off this harm. We are not calling for unity for sentimental
reasons but because it is necessary; consequently, the struggle
should continue to achieve it. Even if we lose, and even if we make
sacrifices to achieve this aim, we have done something right. If
we are going to die, let us die. They strike us in our tents, in our
homes, in our camps, and in our towns. They want tostrike us -
let them strike as. But we will fight. We will fight to change the
Arab map and to establish Arab unity. Arab unity can be
achieved through faith: We must enter into battle for the sake of
establishing Arab unity whether peaceably or by war. This is
because it is necessary. He who (?opposes it) only wrongs himself.
For this nation wants to be united. The United States alone and
Washington alone [words indistinct] by force: Bismark unified
Germany, 'by force; Garibaldi unified Italy by ? Force; Mao
Zedong unified>China by force.
We are a divided nation which should be unified by' whatever
means. I call on all~the living forces in the Arab nation to take

up arms and fight to change the map and unify the Arab nation.
They must not show any respect to these false scepters and these
submissive rulers and these borders which were delineated by the
British, Americans, French, and Italians. They were the ones who
changed the map of the Arab homeland and created these states.
They must be trodden underfoot. The rulers, scepters, and bor-
ders must all be trodden underfoot.
The aggression had its reasons: the desire to dominate the Arab
nation and to destroy Libya as a country which instigates Arab
unity and liberation and rejects the existence of the Zionist
entity. We recognize nothing and we will fight and teach our sons
and their sons how to fight against something called Israel. We
do not [word indistinct] Israel.
We are with the Jews and we support the rights of Jews to live
in peace and equality anywhere in the world. The French Jew
must live in France. If he comes to Palestine, this would mean
that France is persecuting Jews. We ally ourselves with the Jews
against such persecution. If a group of Jews comes from Germany
to Palestine, since they are Germans, this would mean that
Germany is persecuting Jews and we must ally ourselves with
them against this persecution. We side with the persecuted
wherever they may be.
But we do not accept the establishment of an Israeli state on Arab
soil. We will resist it until we destroy it. This is because its
existence conflicts with our existence.
The United States has sent me its ambassador to the Vatican. He
is a good man who supports the Arab cause. He is an ambassador
to the Vatican and he wanted to give us an opportunity [words
indistinct]. Italy mediated. The Italian ambassador came to me
and so did the Italian Government and said to me: Please let him
have S minutes. He came to me in the tent they described. He
said: In fact the problem between you and us is not concerned
v with the Gulf of Sidra or the Palestine issue. We know that the
Gulf of Sidra is a Libyan gulf. As regards Palestine, we cannot
agree with you about it.
What is the cause of the conflict then, I asked him. He said. the
conflict first concerns Tunisia. Why Tunisia? He said: because
of the succession to Bourguiba. Reagan says we must agree who
should succeed Bourguiba. After Bourguiba what will Tunisia's
destiny be? In fact, I scolded him and through him, I scolded his
President. I told him first that Reagan cannot guarantee that he
himself will be alive after Bourguiba goes. Who can guarantee
that Reagan will not die before Bourguiba?
This is one point. The other point is that this constitutes an
unbearable insult to the Tunisian people. Tunisia has its people
who will decide the fate of their country after Bourguiba and
after those who succeed him.

changes thought] He said: Tension will end if you reach
agreement with us on the future of Tunisia, the future of Chad,
and the future of Egypt. At that time the [words indistinct] had
fallen. I told him: If you want tension to end, you should not
talk about Tunisia, Chad, and Egypt and you should not interfere
in Tunisia, Chad, or Egypt. [Words indistinct] Why should you
care what state Tunisia will be in after Bourguiba? Tunisia is an
Arab state and we are more entitled to be concerned about it than
you. We are Arabs and we are more entitled to be concerned
about each other. And then there are [words indistinct].
Do we or the Tunisians, I told him, have the right to talk about
the future of the United States after Reagan? I told him: This
is an American nonsense and insolence which we do not accept,
and we tell you to leave, Chad, Egypt, and Tunisia and not to talk
about these regions. Then (?they wmmitted) the aggression, and
said, by God, it was for the sake of the Gulf of Sidra. Well, the
Gulf'of Sidra problem ended. Then they committed aggression,
saying: You have SAM-5 missiles. [Words indistinct] Does the
Soviet Union have the right to attack us because I have inter-
continental missiles? These missiles are a danger to the Soviet
Union [words indistinct] constitutes a danger to the U.S. aircraft
in the Mediterranean. All these battles around the SAM-5 and
the Gulf of Sidra ended, and then they said it was because of the
Berlin night club of which we had not heard and [words indis-
tinct]. They indeed carried out a very insolent aggression.
If we had strategic aircraft which could reach London or New
York, then on the same day we would have launched raids against
these capitals as they launched raids against our capital. The
issue is not just a raid which was carried out and finished. By _,
God, if we had a force similar to theirs, then today we would be
,bombing and destroying their capitals. What do (?they think of f
us)? Not because there are justifications for stopping the war,
stopping the war. [sentence as heard] If anyone commits aggres
sion against you and your children in your house - if you have
a force similar to his then you should reply, and reply twice ash
hard. If we had a military power, then on Apirl 15th we would
not have .hesitated to .attack New York or London.~This is a
legitimate action and self-defense. But we are a small country
which does not have the resources of the United States.
Therefore, we will reserve our right.to self-defense, (?as we have
repeatedly said). When they launched the attack, we should have
repelled them even if the whole of our people died.
Because of this, every Libyan should come forward, through the 1
Basic People's Congress, to pay-200 dinars: Anyone who can pay
it immediately should do so; those who cannot should pay it by
installments even over a year. This is so that with.this 100 million -
~digars we can. buy rifles for 1 million Libyans: ~
Yesterday I learned that Darnah will remain an armed city
because it is a target of U.S. aggression. Whenever there is a
landing in an attempt to occupy positions on the Mediterranean,
Darnah will be among these positions. They think that it is
isolated. In 1805 they attempted to occupy it. A fierce battle took
place in the streets of Darnah between us and the Americans,
and they were defeated and they were expelled, and the evac-
uation treaty was signed on June 11th 1805. The second evac-
uation was on June 11th 1970.
What right have you and I to consult behind the curtain on the
future of Tunisia, as though Tunisia was a cow, as though it was
a [words indistinct] cow? Who is to carry it, or look after it, or
slaughter it? How can this be? Tunisia is a people, a people (?that
does not need Reagan) to hold consultations on the future of
Tunisia after Bourguiba. Indeed, I closed this door and told
him: If you want tension to end...[AI-Qadhdhafi apparently

This means that there was a continuous struggle. That is a state
which wants to dominate the region. Libya is attractively located
and it has a small population, so they believe that they can bring
it under their control once more in order to use it in theirstrategy
of aggression.
It follows that Libyan towns must be armed so that any future
U.S. landing would be annihilated. Defense lines must also be
built to protect everything on the coast, deep into the Jama-
hiriyah, so that we can fight indefinitely.
Concerning this subject, I tell you that if the United States
persists in its provocations and encroachments, and. when it
becomes clear to the world that the operation is meant to humil-
iate and to encroach on Libya, then we must urgently convene
the people's congresses to decide what must be done, to discuss
the question of war. Because if we ?are to enter a war we must
bear the consequences of war with a superpower. We should not
be surprised by any destruction, but we must be fully happy and
satisfied to fight in combat the infringement of national sover-
eignty, and the official state terrorism which the United States
wants to impose in its desire to humiliate one of the peoples of
the Arab nation.
Then the battle would effectively engulf all the Arab region and
the Mediterranean. Masses from Africa, from the Arab home-
landand from all over the world would participate with us in the
fighting. As for the United States, it must realize that it is a
cowardly state, avoiding entering into battle with us face to face.
But we might force it into this and prevent it from attacking from
a distance.
At the same time, if we decide on war we will have to destroy its
fleet and bases in Europe and bear the responsibility for that,
even if it takes nuclear weapons; it used them against Japan and
Japan is now economically stronger than the United States. We
have deserts and wide areas that would absorb many an atom
bomb. We are not densely populated. As for the cities, we would
leave the combatants in them and move out to the countryside
and the suburbs which we would use for building farms and
breeding livestock. We would then live as sultans; we would
confront the United States while singing and dancing.
.This is why I was extremly angry when people left their homes
and switched off their lights. That is not right. It tell you: if we
are to fight we must fight while dancing and singing, and if we
are to die we will die with joy. If you are to die, whether
frightened or not, you will die when you must.
But there is a tremendous challenge and great resistance and our
streets will be shining with lights. Let the bombs hit the gener-
ators; only then will the lights go out. So what? We were
expecting the attack on Bab al-`Aziziyah and still the lights were
left on, and as some construction and repair work was being
carried out, there were some searchlights; but even lights in the
houses were on, as normal, until they hit them with some bombs,
when some lights were smashed and wires were cut. The lights
went out in some parts of house only as a result of the shelling.
We challenged and everything had, to stay normal. We do not
leave our houses, and when we leave them we only leave them to
go out demonstrating. The time that Bab al-`Aziziyah, was
Q 4 ~ NORTH AFRICA
shelled - at 0200 -should be taken as a time to organize
demonstrations of challenge, defiance and to demand arms. We
do not leave the cities.
The Americans [word indistinct]. If we decided to take out the
children and grandmothers to stay outside the cities, the rest of
us, men and women who can .carry arms, should stay in the
buildings, the streets, and holiday resorts in order to fight,
whether the fighting is face to face fighting, fighting a seaborne
landing or air raids. If they decide, however, to use inter-
continental missiles, then we should use some other means to
fight. ` We have some horrifying means to use against they
Americans but we have not authorized their use yet! The
'Americans must understand that they are facing a stubborn
challenger and they will never find respite in their war against
us. They must also understand that they have only one course.-
to recognize our rights and to negotiate with us on equal footing,
as their bombs and their huge weaponry will not frighten us. At
the end is only death, and we are ready to die while saying "no".
However, our leadership of pan-Arabism, the Arab revolution,
and the international revolution -America claims that we have
taken the revolution to its doors. Reagan said that they have
created another Libya at his doorstep - he means Nicaragua.
Our leadership ofpan-Arabism and the Arab revolution, and our
historic and brave resistance to imperialism and to NATO, has
`ibeen baptized in blood, in the blood of our sons and the blood of '
:our soldiers, and the Gulf of Sidra started to actually become a
'red gulf, as we said it would, because of the blood of the Libyan
martyrs, the Libyan lighters, .the,soldiers of the Navy and Air
',Force; and the blood of the U.S. aggressors. We are continuing.
As we said, our motto is always similar to what Churchill said to
the Germans: We are waiting for you,. so are the fish. 1
The position of [word indistinct] is in fact an immoral position. I
would like to tell you that the immoral stand of the whore ~
Thatcher [words indistinct] has no justification for aggression
against. Libya. Libya placed its resources at the disposal of
Britain during World War II. The Libyans allied themselves with
the British. They enabled them to defeat the Italians and the
Germans. This was a favor presented by the Libyans to the
British forces during World War II, until they were able to defeat
Germany and Italy on Libyan soil. The Libyans allied themselves
with the British during World War II and granted them all the
facilities which enabled them to defeat the axis and the forces of
the axis. This was a favor which Britain should have remembered.
But as I told you, regarding the British prime minister -what
sort of a person is she anyway -the issue is a moral one -she
is not an honorable person and is not even good enough to repay
favors; she is not good enough to lead a country like Britain. She
made her country into a U.S. aircraft-carrier. The aircraft took
off from aircraft-carriers in the sea and from Britain together.
Therefore, the British isles became a U.S. aircraft-carrier.
Therefore, it deserves to be called a U.S. aircraft-carrier. This is
a shame and a humiliation inflicted by the British prime minister
on her country. In books and newspapers and officially we will
insist on calling it a U.S. aircraft-carrier until we see that it has
been liberated and it is no longer an island which carries U.S.
aircraft anymore.

That woman got in touch with King Hassan II and told him: I
beg your friend AI-Qadhdhafi to save me because I am about to
fall, by convincing his people to release the four British detainees
and in return I will do him a political service. I cannot release the
detained Libyans because of purely legal considerations, but I
can do something political in the interest of Libya from now
onwards. She did this through doctor, whose name...[Al-
Qadhdhafi tries to remember the name] He came to me. King
? Hassan II telephoned me and conveyed this message and then
the doctor and said the same thing [words indistinct] because he
was the one who met with Thatcher.
I said alright for the sake of King Hassan and in view of her
pleading and her saying that her fall was in the hands of AI-
Qadhdhafi and that her success was in the hands of AI-
Qadhdhafi. He could ease matters for me by releasing the four,
?she pleaded with King Hassan. We Arabs have gallantry and
manners. However, we have come to realize in the end that the
West is very mean and they are creatures that come somewhere
between gorillas and pigs and human beings. In fact, they must
not be respected as human beings. They are backward Berbers
although they describe us as Berbers when in fact they are the
Berbers. It became evident that they have no conventions nor
ethics nor logic and cannot understand where right lies and where
wrong lies.
However, I asked the people's-congresses to release them and so
they were released.
See now how this fallen woman has rewarded us. She allowed the
Americans to use their bombers to attack us and to attack my
house particularly. I mean, the entice operation was intended to
kill Al-Qadhdhafi, who had done her this favor. She rewarded
him by preparing the most sophisticated planes equipped with
lasers which can steer bombs toward their targets.
See the morals of the English! See the morals of the British prime
minister! See the decadence! When the aircraft were attacking

Y Thatcher. He was in Britain at the time, and he has now crossed
to his master, Israel's rabid dog Reagan, to lick his feet. 'And
Reagan scorned him as he scorned Husni Mubarak before him,
when he left him waiting for 3 days before seeing him. Reagan
- God forbid it from you -was with three of his dogs at the
[word indistinct] park, quite indifferent. He left him 2 or 3 days,
cut off, then he kindly met him some time, as an insult to.fhe
Arabs, to Jordan and the people of Jordan, for its king to .be
degraded that way.
I ask that today, I 1 June, we stage a noisy demonstration in order
to spit -God forbid it from you - in the face of the despicable
king and send cables to the fraternal people of Jordan and its
forces, institutions and the Jordanian Army, its officers and
soldiers, through teleprinters and the Voice of Greater Arab
Homeland in order to denounce Husayn's meeting with Israel's
rabid dog Reagan. He shakes his hands while they are still
dripping with the blood of our children, martyrs and soldiers.
They are Arabs who no longer have dignity and do not feel shame.
They have lost everything and have become pigs. They no longer
have dignity, pride or honor. And, indeed, since the occupation
of Beirut, since the siege of Beirut and the attack against Beirut
in 1982, in such a month the Arab regimes have ended up under
the ruins of Beirut. They should have hidden themselves in
.shame, and the .bottom of the earth would have been more
appropriate for them than its surface. Since that time we have
said that the Arab regimes, the Arab parties and the Arab armies
have lost the reason ?for their existence, and only the Jamahiri
[word indistinct] remains. [t should officially replace them.
I want to say to the Arab armies and, the Arab revolutionary
force, the Arab peoples, the workers, the peasants, the students,
the small employees, and all the toilers in the Arab homeland, ,
especially the ones who have weapons in their hands, that their'
governments have lost the justification for their existence, that
-their survival only records more shame on the Arab nation, and
that the matter is now in their hands and the responsibility rests
on their shoulders`rThey should advance in order to kill off the
official Arab regimes who failed in the face of the U.S. raid to
meet-even at the foreign ministers level. And the Arab kings and
presidents failed to hold an extraordinary meeting, while Europe
met at all levels until it was able to [words indistinct] which was
aborted by the Japanese people. And we greet the Japanese
people and the leftist revolutionary force in Japan and ally
ourselves with it in our joint struggle against imperialism, in
order to defeat imperialism and remove the hegemony from the
great people of Japan and remove .the hegemony of the big
powers, the dirty imperialists, from the world. But the Arab kings
and presidents, and even their foreign ministers, failed to meet.
The Arabs looked very shameful to the world. These ministers.
these rulers, councils and generals ought to hide themselves in
shame and disgrace. The lieutenants, NCOs, troops, youths, the
poor, the peasants, the wage-earners, the toiling workers and the
junior civil servants must come forward to replace the defeated
generals and the submissive puppet rulers.
On this day I make a strong appeal to them, on behalf of the Arab
. nation and its martyrs, on behalf of its threatened future and
great past, to begin organizing their ranks in secret with a view
to provoking the explosions that will change the Arab map, bring
about Arab unity and ensure the emergence of the great Arab
revolutionary progressive force in the Arab land.
This appeal will certainly fall on attentive ears. But the response
might not come within a week, a month or even a year. The
response to Al-Nasir's calls to us, the eternal and heroic battle of
Algiers, the ? 1958 unity [between Syria and Egypt] and the
revolution of 14 July 1958 [in Iraq] came in 1969 with the
AI-Fatih Revolution. So I am sure that this appeal will be like an
order to .all the Arab revolutionary forces, both military and
civilian, to begin secretly organizing their ranks in revolutionary
committees. A day will come when they will say that the day
when we addressed the Arab revolutionary forces was a historic
day, 11 June, and the ranks began to be organized on that day.
They will say in the future: we began organizing our ranks in
response to that call on that remarkable day. For him who
expects, tomorrow is near.
In reality, we would like to show the world that we are an
oppressed people. In 1911 the Italians attacked us without justi-
fication. We were safe in our houses when they came to occupy

our soil; they massacred us and took us to Italy. I am now asking
on behalf of the thousands of prisoners taken by Italy -where
are they now? Where is their [word indistinct]? Where did they
bury them? I am asking for the corpses of the thousand of
Libyans and I will not drop this matter. In 1977, under orders
from the United States, Al-Sadat launched an air attack on our
cities, our villages, and our bases. At the beginning of 1986
France attacked us in the south of our country at the Dumah
airport; they fought us in Chad. Its forces are still there creating
a state of war for us on our southern borders.
European countries go to Africa. They say they have a right to
fight on the borders of another African state. What is this
nonsense? If France is fighting in Chad, we have a right to fight
in Chad. [Word indistinct] In 1986, immediately after the inva-
sion of France, the United States - a superpower -attacked
us; Britain attacked us; Italy and Spain lent their facilities. In
reality there is the question of thanks to France because it did
not allow the aircraft to cross its skies, yet I do not thank France.
On the contrary, France is required to justify the immoral and
contradictory stand in its permanent seat in the United Nations
because it knows that a superpower attacked a small independent
state which only had aircraft which will cross its own skies.
France should take responsibility for international security as a
country which was given a permanent seat on the Security
Council after World War II. Its veto immediately informed the
Security Council that night that there was a dangerous aggres-
sion and that peace in the Mediterranean was threatened. What
is this immoral stand by France? From the part of this [word
indistinct] we should have informed [word indistinct] we should
have said leave your house, there is an attack on your house. Huge
aircraft supplied with laser beams are ready to attack your house
to destroy you and your family. Italy knew that there was to be
an attack against AI-'Aziziyah gate. It was aimed at destroying
Al-Qadhdhafi. Spain, France, and Britain knew what the U.S.
planes were aiming to do. These people have got no morales.
Should we thank them? I will not thank them.
On the contrary, we despise them and we consider that they have
no morals.
[f the Italian prime minister is, as they say, a socialist and a
democrat and a friend to Arabs, and if he is conscientious, why
did he not inform me even by telephone and tell me: An attack
is planned on your house? The United States will attack. Why
did the Spanish prime minister not [warn me] if he has any
morals, and since we ate and drank together in the Island of
Palma de Majorca, even for the sake of friendship and
acquaintanceship?
Perhaps they were considering their own interests. [Word indis-
tinct] They should think about their interests with the Arab
nation and with Libya. Billions [currency not specified] are
earned from Libya by Italian companies. They will be deprived
of them. France will be deprived. The NATO West will be
deprived. Japan will be deprived. From now on, regarding the
clothes in the markets and those you are already wearing, any
Libyan who wears clothes made in Japan, Western Europe, or
the United States will be wearing the shroud of our martyred
sons, the martyrs of our people. If the Libyans are still eating
food imported from Western Europe, then they are eating zaq-

qum [an infernal tree with exceedingly bitter fruit mentioned in
the Koran]. Do you know what zagqum tastes like? It is eaten by
the inhabitants of hell. It is zagqum. Anyone who drinks anything
that comes from Europe is drinking ghislin, hell's Ghislin -pus
of the infidel.
God be praised, this is a chance to [words indistinct] of Europe.
They are the ones who benefit from us. Their companies, their
workers, and their unemployment which they put on our
shoulders; their deficit budgets which we support with billions.
We do not need anything. (?They) have the complex of the space
stations and the nuclear stations. What is the matter with you
Libyans? What do you have which makes you need these coun-
tries? You pay billions to these countries. The U.S. cruisers
which they are threatening us with, and the missiles -they cost
$1 billion, equivalent to 300 million Libyan dinars. Can you
imagine a wall [word indistinct] in a radio studio, in a new
building, there are things which we can live without (?if the
circumstances necessitated that). [Words indistinct) 300 million,
400 million, 500 million Libyan dinars which can build a number
of cruisers like the cruisers with which they threatened your
existence let alone your independence. Your existence is
threatened by these cruisers. Why are we paying these billions?
No reason. I'll tell you now.
We must decide to deprive Western Europe, Japan, and the
United States and severely punish them so as to bring them to
their knees and make them say: We wish the past days would
come back. We beg you, you our Libyan masters, forgive us and
forgive our companies. Unemployment has escalated; buy our
goods, let our companies operate in your country, sell to us. We
have stopped selling them anything. Even the oil. To hell with
them, we must not sell it. Anything I want [words indistinct] We
can live as we did in the past.
They rail against us and say: We will fight Libya economically
and we will punish it and we will stop selling it butter. If there
are some bourgeois who have always been submissive and who,
after the raids, [words indistinct] and say we are submissive and
? pledge independence, they and the imperialists may go to hell.
When I go just a few steps into the bourgeois quarter, I find that
the people know nothing about butter and cheese from the
Netherlands, Denmark, and the EEC and they have never used
them.
Why should we pledge the future of the nation and the future of
the revolution on the needs of a few bourgeois people, bourgeois
men and their wives. The bourgeois used to go out on every
occasion and every week to buy a new dress. Let the bourgeois
pass [words indistinct] Cuban. Let them pass [words indistinct]
America. They brought out about 20 million more Cubans [words
indistinct]. Let the dogs go to America.
The bourgeois are dogs. They go along with the stray dogs. The
stray dogs eat the remains of the food of the Jews and Christians.
The bourgeois among you live on the (?products of the) Europe-
ans. Let him go and live on the (?products of?the) Europeans.
By God, I will personally intervene tomorrow to permit any
Libyan bourgeois who want to run after the smell of the Jews and

Libya now is paradise. It has glory and pride. It has been renamed
the Great Jamahiriyah after all that glory, because it was sub-
jected tothe NATO offensive, NATO [word indistinct] the earth.
A small country boldly faced the machine guns. Indeed, the
United States (?covered) the Russian missiles; it destroyed them
and jammed them. We did not use one missile. We resisted with
machine guns. An ordinary soldier, resisting with machine guns.
Can there be greateness more great than this? We faced up to
NATO with machine guns. We turned the skies of Tripoli into
an inferno. [Words indistinct]
As I have told you, they prepared (?33) planes; only 8 of them
remained safe. The others, thanks be to my God who sent soldiers
you could not see, fell in squadrons as they came from the sea in
the north. Every time, only 7 returned, or 8 or 10. The last raids
took place at 2 o'clock at Bab al-`Aziziyah. They told them: You
cannot do it. It is hell there. So they dropped their bombs in the
sea and went back.
Libya was called great beaause of this. glory, great because it
repulsed the attack of NATO and the attack of the United States.
The United States, against which the Soviet Union is measuring
itself -which one is the strongest? - attacked us by the decision
of its president. The Israelis (?told) him: Rid us of Al-Qadhdhafi,
the Arabs, Arab unity, and the future of the Arabs. The future
of the Arabs must end; only Israel's future. must live on. After all
this it was imperative for Britain, a great country to agree; even
Italy and Spain gave bases to the U.S. fleet in order to carry out
its attack on Banghazi. The aircraft-carriers came out from
Italian ports and returned to them. (?What was the matter with
Italy?)and what is the difference between this and the Grazielli
campaign. (?Why did Italy do this?) [Words indistinct] One day
we might take thousands of Italians [words indistinct].
Italy destroyed our countries. [Words indistinct]. Germany gave
the Israelis (?compensation). They were compensated by Ade-
nauer - Adenaeur was only there yesterday. Nazi Germany
never did it; it was the contemporary new Germany which
compensated the Jews, the Israelis. It was Germany which helped
them to gain strength. [Words indistinct] The Germans compen-
satedthem. The Italians must compensate the Libyans otherwise
the war between us and them is still on.
We do speak up, whether in Banghazi or Jabal al-Akhdar, and
state that we want peace in the Mediterranean, Arab-European
interests should be preserved and developed, and cooperation
should be developed, but we do not accept having U.S. bases,
which hit us, stationed in these countries. The Italian prime
minister made a speech and stated that Al-Qadhdhafi had spoken
with anger, rancor, and religious fanaticism. Well, Well [words
indistinct].
Q 7 NORTH AFRICA
There is no understanding between us and them. As for Italy, (?if
it wants) to preserve its interests, we welcome that. However, if
it allows U.S. bases on its soil to attack us, we do not accept this.
[Words indistinct] They knew at least there was an aggression,
and that it was against Al-Qadhdhafi's house. [Words indistinct)
We are going to deprive them. We have in the forthcoming
economic plan, in the coming period, projects to the value of 12
billion Libyan dinars, that is, $36 billion, of which Europe and
Japan must be deprived. All these billions would have gone to
Europe. Italian, Spanish, German, British, Japanese, American,
Dutch, Belgian and [words indistinct] were going to benefit. All
.these countries and firms were going to benefit from the $36
billion, which were to be spent on agrarian reform, light indus-
tries, heavy industries, oil, gas, exploitation of power stations,
education, health, transportation, maritime transport, railways,
electronuclear power, and the information and service sectors.
For all this we are going to spend $36 billion. All of this would
have, undoubtedly, gone to Western Europe, the United States,
and Japan had it not been for the U.S. aggression against Libya.
The U.S. aggression against Libya, with Europe's collusion, has
burned $36 billion which would have gone into the pockets of
West Europeans and their firms. We must, however, deprive
them. We are the power and we have the power. Who is going to
lose? Was it Libyan firms which were going to take $36 billion
from Eruope or Europe that was going to take such a sum from
us? As for the railway lines, let them not be built! If they have
to .be built then we will build them ourselves. We will call in
China. We will give these billions to the Soviet Union, to Eastern
Europe, Austria, Yugoslavia, China and those countries which
stood by us. These are the countries to take our billions.
As for Europe we must prohibit everything from it, and -God
be thankful, - it was all due to you, the mosque. You know the
story of the man who went to pray on the spur of the moment,
and found the mosque closed. Originally we had no intention of
cooperating with the crusaders, the rancorous and vile Atlan-
ticists. They are our enemies; they are the ones who sow the seeds
of all our problems in Africa and in the Arab countries. They
have colonized us without justification. They came at dawn in
1911, hitting us with warships while we were in mudhouses in
Tripoli, Banghazi and Darnah. [Words indistinct] Is this logical?
The Libyan people knows what [words indistinct] in 1911 [words
indistinct] even Turkey; it has U.S. bases, and all the U.S. bases
were used in this aggression. We must take a stand on this. It is
our friend; it is welcome, but you must differentiate between the
Italian people, the peoples of West Europe, the American people
and the Turkish people, and between the regimes, parties and
armies and officials ruling them.
I greet the Italian people, a friendly people. I salute the Spanish
people; they staged demonstrations that Arabs could not stage,
except in Sudan, Jordan, Tunisia, South Yemen and Syria. Those
were the wuntries where demonstrations were staged, dem-
onstrations ofanger and clashes in Tunisia and Jordan. You have
seen what the people of Sudan did. Americans were killed in
Morocco, Tunisia, and in Sudan. Americans were attacked and
killed. Some of them were killed with knives. Italian youths
attacked Americans from the Navy, killing one in Naples.
We must realize that we are friends and I am a friend of the
Italian people, the people of Lampedusa, Sicily, Pantellaria, and

1 hope that those people will be independent and get out of the
Atlanticist hegemony, if the Italian state offers Sicily to the hell
of America. [t is indeed a hell. Nuclear missiles stationed in
Sicily! [Words indistinct] We want peace for the people of Sicily,
and therefore they must expel the U.S. bases so that they have
peace.
We hit and shelled Lampedusa with missiles and destroyed the
telecommunications station belonging to the U.S. Sixth Fleet
because Lampedusa was used in the aggression against us. The
Italian state offered Lampedusa to the Americans and sacrificed
the peace of 5,000 Italians, 5,000 Italians because some of them
are of Arab origin and are therefore despised. Italy, the Italian
state, wants to eliminate the Sicilian people and the peoples of
Lampedusa and Pantellaria because those islands are Arab
islands and oppressed. That is the cause of the separatist move-
ments inthose islands, where there are indeed persecuted people,
and the new world war will destroy them because the U.S. bases
are stationed in their lands on orders from the Italian state.
We are friends of those peoples. The people of West Germany
love us and are with us. You have seen the demonstrations they
started. America is very, very much hated. The Germans and the
West European peoples hate the Americans even more than
[word indistinct] who went to kiss Reagan's shoes, and the other
Arabs. We must decide a punishment for them; a punishment for
these governments, these parties and regimes, and we must ally
ourselves with the peace movement, the new alternative and the
Green Movement, and the new democratic people's mass force,
the new alternative in Europe. We must ally ourselves with them.
We must not help the imperialist institutions because they would
get strong at the expense of the masses and the toilers.
You saw the British people and you saw the messages which I
received from the American people. An American woman who
does not know us, nor we her, contacted me and told me: They
will attack you. She said: They will attack on the weekend. I
said that this may be propaganda or psychological warfare. She
said: I love you and I am sincere and you should take care because
they are about to attack your house. I said that that could have
been psychological warfare by U.S. intelligence. That was a
woman whom we did not know. Look at the messages I received
from the United States.
But the military machine -the capitalist class and the party
establishment -ruling West Europe should be punished. We
should now impose sanctions as we are strong -strong in
fighting and strong in our economy. We should put forward to
the people's committees in the (?same area) a huge project located
between the town of AI-Bayda and the town of Darnah which
will take up 100,000 dairy cows. Libya only needs 34,000 dairy
cows. This project situated between the two towns will take
100,000 cows. That will yield three times Libya's milk
requirement. We will export two-thirds of the output. We will
manufacture cheese. [passage indistinct]
It is now a vacuum; there are only seven people living on every
square kilometer. The project will produce milk sufficient for the
area and for (?Libya). We will export. Each one of you Libyans
who [words indistinct] vegetables, parsley, here is the land: Go
and cultivate it. Have someone acting on your behalf to market
your surplus produce. As for the state's production, this will be
exported abroad. All the output of the poultry stations should be
exported. Even the cattle stations -each one of you should have
cattle, breeding a Maltese goat or a camel or a cow. Even the
milk produced by the cattle breeding stations should be exported.
We export in order to compensate for the war. The state's
capabilities should be used for building arms, factories and
strategic matters.
There is no state which distributes its budget, saying take this as

who are homeless and live in the streets; they have their babies

it is (?respected).:t can [words indistinct] the Arabs with the
Israelis, because they have atomic bombs and aircraft. The
Israeli citizen [words indistinct] if you die you die, and if you live
you live.
This is your land and you must cultivate it. Also, there is another
advantage, for you Libyans. The state will no longer compete
against you in the market. The foreigners will no longer compete
against you in the market. Fill the market with your own personal
products. You farm owners satisfy the needs of your family and
bring the surplus products to the market. If there are tourists or
others who buy from the markets then they will buy your own
products. This is better than marketing the products of a public
project - if the latter markets its produce for 5 [currency not
specified] and your produce has cost you 10 then the project will
sell its produce and take the market from you. No; the public
project should export. You should export dates, melons -all
these products are in demand. [Passage indistinct] and export it.
The cement factories which we have, their capacity and produc-
tive capability do not exist in the Mediterranean states. (?They
are idle) and produce little. These should be operating at full

On the other hand I suggest to you barter: As of the new year
[words indistinct] you buy rice. Bring two sacks of wheat and here
is a sack of rice. Here are sacks of barley, give me a sack of rice.
Give me two sacks of wheat and here is a sack of Farina flour
from Australia. [Words indistinct] this should apply even to
sugar, tea, cloth, and al] imported goods. If you want them, take
what is available but through barter. [Words indistinct] as to
money, we no longer need it [words indistinct] give me rice to the
value of money. [Words indistinct] If your farm or your workshop
is producing then you have money. But if you have printed paper
from a bank, it is no longer worth anything. [Word indistinct] the
one who has a sack of money [words indistinct] I propose this to
you in barter and I know that the toilers will be with me in this
program. The revolutionaries will also be with me in this pro-
gram. The bourgeoisie, God willing, will leave tomorrow for the
hell of the United States and Western Europe [words indistinct].

sacrificing the Americans throughout the whole world to satisfy

history of mankind afterwards. It will not go calmly. If one is
strong and one is weak they cannot live together.
Either they are all strong or all weak. Therefore, we are looking
for power. We are serious in alliance with the Soviet Union and
the socialist community so as to strike a balance. We followed
neutrality and we did everything for nonalignment and neutral-
ity; obviously neutrality does not provide you with water if the
nonalignment organization does not protect its members, what is
there in it? What shall we do with it? Seek its blessing? This is
a neutral state, it was attacked by a superpower which is in
alliance with other superpowers. The nonalignment organization
did not provide any protection. Therefore, we have not benefited
from nonalignment, then let it go to hell.
We must open the doors of our universities to the students
expelled in Jordan, Tunisia or any other Arab country persecuted
by their governments because of their participation in demonstra-
tions of wrath against the U.S. invasion. They must come to us
by any means, overt or covert. We must give them preference
over our sons. They must have priority in our universities and
schools. Let them hear this call.
We are responsible for all the persecuted and expelled Arab
students. And not just students. Every persecuted Arab can come
to our country.

We will do all that until they realize that this is a nation which
should be respected. Negotiations should be held with it and they
should abide by their limits. But if they want to attack us [words

We must live in the world in respect. If we know that we live
persecuted and without respect, then we must destroy this world.
Let it go to hell. We must depart this world quickly but like
martyrs.

radius pipes will begin in September. We have laid the corner-
stone ofthe plant in Brikah. God willing, it will begin production
next September. After that, God willing, the water will reach the
spacious areas covered by the first stage. Probably after 2 years
from that the second stage will be completed. Then we will have
paradise and we will not need anything from abroad. We can
dispense with all of them.
1 have forgotten to mention Greece. Greece is a friendly country.
It has a European government that has taken a stand better than
that of any Arab country, and has been punished. They give to
Italy, France, Germany, Britain and America but they deprive
Greece. If the Greek bid is 20 and the Western companies' bids
are 15 [units not specified], we must accept the Greek bid even if
it is 20. Greece, Yugoslavia and Austria are all European coun-
tries.
The attitude of Greece was (?great) and at the popular level as
well. This is the reason which made us refrain from hitting the
island of Crete in fact -the Americans are in Crete. We did not
hit it like we did Lampedusa, where the Italians are. We did not
hit it because it is not right to kill its people for the sake of the
American criminals. God willing, in 2 years' time Greece will
leave NATO and expel the U.S. bases. Greece gave an example
that should be followed. All the countries of Western Europe
should expel the U.S. bases. If they decide to stay within NATO
they are free to do so -that will entail special arrangements
which are privately theirs. As for the U.S. aggression being
launched from the territory of a particular country, and as for
U.S. aircraft taking off from a particular country, then this
means that that country launched the aggression - it is as if
Italy itself or Spain itself had actually launched an aggression
against us.
As for someone who died in the Gulf who was a sailor or a pilot,
or someone who happened to beat his post when a bomb fell on
him, or someone who has 4 wives and 1000 goats [words indis-
tinct] -how can you compare these people? How can you
compare a sailor in the navy who has nothing but his salary -
he is poor and was martyred for the sake of Libya - he was
martyred [words indistinct], and a capitalist who got rich with
the money of the Libyans in an illicit way. Poor men do not marry
N: many wives. [Words indistinct] and steal from the Libyan budget
to get married -his wife is the wife of all Libyans [words
indistinct].
The Egytian attitude, of course, which should be taken into
consideration, is worse. The Egyptian Government should under-
standthat itwent beyond its limit. In 1977 it attacked us by order
of the United States and it has now joined their ranks. If the
United States attacks us, Egypt attacks us: What is the differ-
encebetween Egypt and the United States in this case? The agent
Egyptian regime recognized the enemy. Their spies came with
,'aircraft guiding instruments. Is this not, by God, [words indis-
tinct]. Let the Egyptian brothers, the Egyptian people, hear what
I am saying. [Words indistinct] Your government sent spies, one
by one, carrying instruments for guiding aircraft into Libyan
territory. Did we do it? Did we send a Libyan with instruments
for guiding aircraft, a Libyan spy, to Egypt? The Libyans who
went to Egypt went to liquidate Libyans. Libyans against Lib-
yans. It does not concern the Egyptians. We continue with this
and this is the resolution of the Libyan people. Each people is free
to (?liquidate) its enemies. Did we, dear Egyptian brothers, send
Libyan spies with instruments and ask them to spy on Egypt in
the interest of the U.S., Russia, or Libya? We did not. Look at
your government, it sent Egyptian spies to be executed and to be
sacrificed -them and their families - in order to implement
U.S. orders.
The U.S. maneuvers carried out in Egyptian territory were
applied to Libya and Egypt. This is in fact a state, a regime,
which has exceeded the limit and has become a danger to our
security and the future of the Arab nation. This should be taken
into consideration by the entire Arab nation and by Libyans in
particular. Since the issue of terrorism is on the agenda of the
world, let Egypt then train the terrorists, let the United States
train terrorists, let Britain protect the terrorists, and let Germany
protect the terrorists. They protect them [words indistinct] Those
who-are responsible fr the explosions in Syria are the Muslim
lbrothers trained in West Germany, in the United States, and in
Britain. The ones we caught in the building said the attack was :~
against Bab al-`Aziziyah. Rasberry! What is Bab al-`Aziziyah?
Did they attack Bab al-`Aziziyah? They were (?hiding) in a
building and then one of them came and informed on the others 5
and we caught them. Where did they train? Where did they get;
~tthe weapons from? They were trained in Britain, trained in
?America. All right, since any place from which terrorists set out
should be attacked, we will attack, with our own means, any ,
traitor to the revolutionary Arab regimes who trains in any state. '
We- do not -have an aircraft-carrier but we -do .have suicide
(?teams). So, let them know that there is mutual deterrence and
that nothing is useful but recognition of the rights of others and
sitting down with them to end the problems so that the world may
live in peace.
If they had the power and could strike without anyone striking
at them, then they would continue and control the world. I have
not reached the point of saying to you: That is it, we must
convene the emergency Basic People's Congresses and we must
decide the way by which we die and live. This point might come.
It depends on what these vile and dirty persons will do. The
picture might not be as bad as that: t have drawn the worst
picture. The way we die -this is what we should decide. But ,

death might be to the United States and not us. We might live
victoriously, as Vietnam and its people were victorious. We might
fight the United States for tens of years. But we have to forget
things like seaports, airports, power stations, factories, and
coastal bases. They can destroy all these things. with their_mis- ,
sites. But we can hit the United States; we can smash its mouth;
we can exhaust it; and we can make it see reason. A war like this
.might end with the unity of the Arab nation - a revolutionary
)amahiri unity -and the United States will lose completely. ;
We are uniting the Arab nation. If the United States helps us in
uniting the Arab nation, then this unity will be a friend to the
United States. If the USSR is the one who helps to unite the Arab
nation, then this unity will be a friend to the USSR. Our enemy
is whoever stops the establishment of our unity. We will unite in
spite of our enemy, and all our enemies will lose.
It might happen. I do not like - in fact no one likes -war. I
know its effects, especially with a superpower like this. Someone
might say: He is asking and looking for war. Never. This is not
bravery. Declaring war is not bravery. Bravery is standing firm
in a war when it is declared and forced on you, and by accepting
it when it is forced on you and by not escaping from it. Any
coward can declare war. Bravery is not in guaranteeing the end
of the war and in bragging and saying: We will be victorious.
Bravery is presenting all the possibilities to the fighters. Victory
or defeat will depend on their bravery and resources.
I hope that no war will occur in the whole world or in the
Mediterranean, and no world war will occur. I know that a world
war would be a disaster. I do not hope for war with a superpower.
Is it reasonable _for a small country to seek war with a super-
power? But if they try to humiliate us, then we should fight them.
We figfit them and we forget everything. We forget our lives as
a whole and accept martyrdom, and we will be victorious. After
.,that we will live again.
The aircraft carriers cannot enter the desert. Their field of action
is limited. If they strike with missiles, a missile might go astray
in a mountain, valley, desert, or in one of our sand hills and it
might not even explode -any missiles, even an intercontinental
one.
Suppose the United States has a free hand in the world and is
perpetrating all these trivialities. The maximum it can provide
could be contained. When the United States lands on the coast
it should be burned; its soldiers should become roasted sheep - ..
and eating them afterward is permitted. If it wants to annihilate

The Arab nation should have replied with war against the United
States and Britain. It should have boycotted the United States

this purpose. May God defeat them, and God's hand is stronger
than theirs. Their bombs turned into smoke. Even the soldiers
who were guarding me were standing all about and were fighting
on top of buildings, they were brave and they were not hit by any
shrapnel. One cut his tongue that is all - a soldier. Two heavy
bombs exploded, one in front of him and one behind him. Even
the barrack where they were was bombed. You wouldn't believe
anyone could still be alive if you had seen it. He cut his tongue,
that is all. This is only [words indistinct] but surely there is a bomb
which in fact exploded. But the angels are stronger than the
United States and than all this fury.
This may be mere talk, but on the other hand, it may be that
history, the future [words indistinct]. In April 1805 no one could
have thought that the battle will be fought again with the same
warships and the same navy against the same country in 1986.
Imagine! After nearly 200 years. They attacked us in April in
Darnah with their warships. They brought someone called
Ahmad Karamanli from Egypt - a nobody -and declared in
Darnah that he had become the ruler of Libya. When Darnah
resisted them, they were slaughtered when they landed on the
coast [words indistinct]. During April and May they occupied
Darnah and declared Karamanli the ruler, and he handed them
200 American prisoners of war in Tripoli where they were
captured.
But in May, help for Darnah came from various parts of Libya.
The battle was waged and after 11 days they were defeated.
Karamanli the shameless ran to Darnah harbor to beg (Eaton),
the commander of the U.S. campaign, to evacuate him with the
rest. He said to (Eaton): Did I not bring you the Arabs who
killed (?the Americans)? Did I not bring you agents? Did I not
hand Darnah and Libya over to you? Did I not make it easy for
you to enter Libya [words indistinct]? The American commander
replied: I have no time for you. Then one of their soldiers

the ruler over all Libya [words indistinct]. The bourgeoisie and
the agents wanted the same thing and asked to be saved: Save
us! How can you leave us behind? The Americans said that they
would save their soldiers first. They left them to be captured by
the Arabs and left them at the mercy of the Arabs [words
indistinct].
This the fate of those who cooperate with the United States.
Look! About 200 years later the aggression is repeated. Go back
to what I told you in Darnah on 11 June 1977. I do not want to
say something that you do not take in and understand. We should
appreciate our responsibility. This is our destiny. We want the

are continuing in towns throughout the Great Jamahiriyah with
various sectors of the population taking part.
In Tripoli, the masses of the people's congresses, along with
students and producers, staged mammoth marches last night in
the city's Green Square in support of the important speech
delivered by the brother leader to the Libyan Arab and Arab
people on the 16th anniversary of the expulsion of U.S. bases.
A number of speeches and statements were made during the
marches, which converged in the Green Square. They con-
demned?the shameful visit that the agent King Husayn paid to
the American Black House, and his humiliating kiss of the hand
of his master, the rabid dog and Mosad agent, Reagan, whose
hand drips with the blood of martyrs. The statements called on
the Arab masses of Jordan to revolt and topple the agent King
Husayn in order to rid Jordan of its agent regime and to liberate
Palestine. The masses also burned effigies of agent King Husayn
and the rabid dog and Mosad agent, Reagan.
The masses handed copies of cables which protested and con-
demned this visit to Arab ambassadors attending the festivities
in the Green Square.

[Ahmed Alaoui editorial: "Improving Inter-Arab Relations"]
[Text] Contrary to what has been said or written in some places,
the Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Fes 30 April and 1 May
was not negative but positive since it provided an opportunity for
a broad, frank, and free discussion. Some people even spoke of
the failure of the extraordinary summit, but in fact this summit
has not yet been held and cannot be described as a failure. As
usual the'ministerial conference had the job of preparing for the
meeting of heads of state and especially of drawing up the
agenda.
Q 2 NORTH AFRICA
So, for the first time, the situation has been clarified and all
disagreements, quarrels, and conflicts among the Arab countries
have been reviewed. The solidarity which everybody claims to
feel comes first and cannot be unilateral but must be reciprocal.
The Fes meeting ended the policy of burying our heads in the
sand, which we had hitherto been content to practice: The
ministers parted knowing clearly what the others think. They
separated, not after admitting defeat but after disagreeing and
there is nothing to stop these being resolved between now and the
extraordinary summit which has been postponed until after
Ramadan.
With a view to that summit the ministers will have time to convey
to their respective governments the viewpoints held by various
countries. Some will be able to repeat what was said to them,
namely: If you want us to show solidarity with you, you must first
show solidarity with us. Everybody can therefore prepare for the
forthcoming summit on sound bases. After years of quarrels,
polemics, and conflicts, the Arab nation has suddenly realized
that nothing worthwhile can be achieved without real solidarity
and that there is a vital precondition for this: an improvement in
inter-Arab relations which His Majesty King Hassan II has often
advocated.

It should be noted that it is natural for this summit and the
preparatory meeting to be held in Morocw because since the last
summit in Casablanca His Majesty King Hassan II has been
current chairman of the Arab League; in these circumstances, it
is perfectly natural for an extraordinary summit to be held in
Morocco at the king's invitation.
The preparatory meeting which was held in Fes is positive in our
view because the foreign ministers of all Arab countries were
present at His Majesty King Hassan's invitation, and this in itself
is a positive point. It was when the agenda was being drawn up
that the differences of opinion emerged. Well, we think that these
differences of opinion are a positive phenomenon in the sense that
everybody now knows exactly where they stand in relations to the
others.
As the final communique stressed, everybody was able to freely
and frankly explain his viewpoint on the situation in the Arab
world, and everybody was able to say what he thought of the
actions of others. For the first time the Arab countries finally
washed their dirty linen in private, so to speak, contrary to what
often happened when they set aside major conflicts and dis-
agreementsand spoke of solidarity and unity. That produced an
ambiguous situation in which people judged states' policies on
the basis of the atittudes adopted by individuals. Indeed do we
not see virtually every day ministers embracing each other
fraternally when their two countries are virtually at war.

Thulug and Nawwagiyah, was met by a marvellous popular
gathering of the mass of the basic People's Congresses. Huge
mass demonstrations followed the leader in a marvellous way
expressing the extent of the historic popular solidarity between
the leader and the people. The masses, who followed the leader,
chanted slogans of defiance to U.S. imperialism. The demonstra-
tions continued all the way along the leader's route until the
entrance to AI-Bayan al-Awwal, Banghazi, where he was
received by the masses of AI-Bayan al-Awwal who gathered at
the entrance to the city in a huge popular demonstration, which
showed the city in its greatest image. The demonstration com-
prised horsemen, scouts, the I September Buds, Cubs, and
Hands, school children and armed students, and veterans. They
were all chanting slogans stressing that the masses of the basic
People's Congresses are Mu`ammar al-Qadhadhfl.

FRC's Vice-Chancellor Genscher Gives News Conference
PM071504 Algiers E! MOUDJAHID in French
29 Apr 86 p 3
[Unattributed report: "Political Talks"]
[Text] Algerian-West German political talks were held yesterday
morning at the Mustapha Rais villa under the chairmanship of
Dr Ahmed Taleb Ibrahimi, member of the Politburo and minister
of foreign affairs, and Hans Dietrich Genscher, vice chancellor
and FRG foreign minister. The talks related in particular to the
deterioration of the situation in the Mediterranean on which the
two ministers exchanged information on their countries' respec-
tiveanalyses and positions.
This exchange of views is particularly significant in view of the
fact that it took place on the eve of the extraordinary Arab
summit and the summit of the seven industrialized countries in
Tokyo. The two ministers also reviewed the state of relations
between Europe and the Arab world and the repercussions on
these relations of the latest EEC measures and stances following
the resurgence of tension in the Mediterranean.
Mr Genscher. "Positive Results"
"My visit to Algeria comes at a time when the Mediterranean
region is experiencing new developments of concern to both our
countries. Thus we thought it necessary to have talks with the
Algerian leaders to examine the question," Hans Dietrich Gen-
scher said during a press conference before he left Algiers.
In reply to a question on the state of Algerian-German relations,
Mr Genscher said: "Our relations with Algeria are strong and
multifaceted. We have the greatest respect for Algeria," he
stressed "and for the important role it plays in the Arab world
and the Nonaligned Movement, just as we appreciate the great
respect enjoyed by President Chadli Bendjedid.
"The results of this visit, regarded by the Algerian officials as an
excellent initiative because it took place on the eve of the Arab
summit and the summit of industrialized countries in Tokyo,
have been positive," the German foreign minister said, adding:
"Algeria can make an effective contribution to the establishment
of stability in the region and it is up to us to take practical steps
to revive Euro-Arab dialogue." Mr Genscher concluded his press
conference by saying; "I would like to thank the Algerian leaders,
especially President Chadli Bendjedid, for the welcome they have
given us."
Communique on Guinea-Bissau President's Visit
LD082330 Algiers APS in English /450 GMT 8 May 86
[Text] ALGIERS, 08/05/86 (APS) -President Chadli Bend-
jedid and Loao Bernardo Vieira of Guinea-Bissau reaffirmed
their determination to safeguard and reinforce the Organization
of the African Unity (O.A.U.) privileged and irreplaceable forum
of concertation for the preservation of peace and security in
Africa.
In a joint communique issued Thursday [8 May] here aE the end
of the visit to Algeria of a delegation from Guinea-Bissau led by
President Joao Bernardo Vieira, the two heads of state reiterated
their solidarity and support to the brotherly peoples of Namibia
and South Africa under the leadership of their respective move-
ments of liberation SWAPO and ANC?and to the. Frontline
countries.
They reaffirmed on this occasion that [word indistinct] of a
lasting peace in the region cannot be achieved without Namibia's
attainment of independence by the implementation of the UN
Security Council Resolution 435.
Tackling the Chadian issue, the two presidents reaffirmed the
principles and conditions for the reestablishment of a lasting
peace in Chad, particularly the national reconciliation, the cessa-
tion of all forms of foreign interference, the respect of Chad's
national unity independence and territorial integrity.
As far as the Western Sahara conflict is concerned, the two
presidents reiterated their conviction that the implementation of
the OAU resolution A.H.G-104 and the UN Resolution 40/50
is only guarantee of a peaceful, fair and lasting settlement of the
Western Sahara problem.
Examining the situation in Middle East presidents Chadli Bend-
jedid and Joao Bernardo Vieira reaffirmed their unconditional
support to the Palestinian people's struggle and recalled that the
institution of a fair and lasting peace goes necessarily through
the exercise of the Palestinian people's inalienable rights, notably
their right to self-determination, to the creation of an indepen-
dent and sovereign state and the restoration of all the occupied
Arab territories, including AI-Qods.
Concerning the Iran/Iraq war. the two presidents called these
two countries to put an end to this fratricidal war and to settle
peacefully their dispute in their two people's higher interest.
Presidents Chadli Bendjedid and Joao Bernardo Vieira reaf-
firmed their deep attachment to the Nonaligned Movement's
ideals, principles and objectives and their conviction that the
non-alignment [as received] remains more than ever the guaran-
tor of the non-aligned countries' independence.
Recalling their attachment to the OAU 21st summit decisions
the two presidents expressed their conviction that the rein-
forcement of the inter-African economic relations, the extension
of the South/South cooperation and the complementarity of the
African peoples' economies is a privileged asset for the safeguard
of the African countries and the Third World's specific interests.
The two heads of state also expressed satisfaction about their
meeting and consider that this visit is a contribution to the
reinforcement and the strengthening of the international solidar-
ity.

prised today by your coming out of Banghazi for this reception.
[sound of chanting in the background] I understand now the
meaning of this coming out: It is the coming out of challenge, the
brave coming out in confrontation of the enemies. [sound of
chanting] Dear brothers, I want challenging masses, I want brave
masses, I want masses which come out under bombing to chap=
lenge the aggression. I want masses which will make sacrifices
Dear brothers, we want challenging masses, masses which come
out under bombing to challenge the aggression. [sound of
chanting] Dear brothers, we do not want those who come out in
the calm and happy days, those who leave work and waste time,
their marches are invalid. The marches in which are needed, the
demonstrations which are required, are the demonstrations of
challenge under attack. [sound of chantings] Those who dem-
onstrateunder normal conditions and chant slogans in peacetime,
we do not need them. [sound of chanting]
Brothers, the Libyan masses were tested on Libyan land. The
masses of Tripoli and Banghazi were tested when they were
exposed to the arrogant unjust aggression. Brothers, at that time,
the masses came out, the masses confronted, the masses defied,
the masses filled the squares, and the masses raised their voices.
[sound of chanting: al-jihad, al-jihad]
Brothers, greetings to the masses of the city of Al-Gharbi who
come out these days to raise their voice strong with defiance.
Brothers, the aggression is still present. We raise our voices from
the city of Banghazi in defiance of the aggression. Our voice is
stronger than the voice of aggression. [sound of indistinct
chanting]
Brothers, the masses' defiance terrorizes aggression. When the
masses defy, aggression fails. In 1967, when Jamal `Abd al-Nash
resigned, while the bombing was continuing against Cairo, the
masses of Cairo came out chanting: Nasir, Nasir. At that
moment, the world knew that the aggression had failed because
the will of the masses was not defeated. The Egyptian Army was
defeated, the iron was broken, but the will was not broken.
When the Egyptian masses went outside under the shelling and
under Israeli raids which took place that day and which were still
continuing over Cairo, when the Egyptian masses went outside
without taking any notice of the raids, defying the aggression,
proclaiming their determination on their soil, the world then
realized that the aggression did not achieve what it wanted, the
aggression failed because the determination of the Egyptian
people would not be defeated even if the Egyptian Army were to
be defeated.
That was when the war of attrition started, the confrontation
started, and all the Arab nation began to stand behind AI-Nasir,
to stand behind Egypt, O brothers. The war of attrition began
and if AI-Nasir had not died the result would not have been what
it was. Those who sold out the Egyptian territory are the ones
who made the results what they are now. During Jerusalem Day
in Iran, millions of people in Tehran went outside under the
bombing during Jerusalem Day despite the warnings that the city
of Tehran was to shelled. In defiance, millions took to the streets
in Tehran during Jerusalem Day, women carrying their children
went out paying no notice to the bombing. In fact, air strikes over
the city of Tehran started, and under the air strikes the Iranian
masses hailed the revolution, Jerusalem, and Palestine.
That day was a memorable day for the whale world, during which
the world saw how the masses defied the aggression, how the
masses defied the Air Force, how the masses went out under the
shelling. They showed to the world that peoples' determination,
the Jamahiri determination, the revolutionary determination are
stronger than the aircraft, stronger than the bombs stronger than
challenges, O brothers. The Iranian revolution went on defying
and it is still defying with defiant masses.
Brothers, let us realize that the issue is not one of terrorism, the
issue is not one of violence, the issue is not one of a bomb
exploding in a night club or in an airliner here or there. The issue
is a serious attempt by the forces of traditional colonalism and
new colonialism to impose a veto on the future of the Arab nation.
The issue is not one of bombing a Berlin nighclub, nor is the issue
of an airliner which exploded, nor is it the issue of a bomb which
exploded somewhere. Brothers, the issue is an attempt to sub-
jugatethe Arab nation, an attempt to humiliate the Arab nation,
and an attempt to impose aU.S.-Western veto on the future of
the Arab nation. But we say to them that the Arab nation was
created to survive, to defy, and to emerge victorious in spite of
America and others.
[Sound of chantings] Dear brothers, dear brothers, dear brothers,
when they allocated tens of planes which were refuelled by more
tens of planes, and protected by more than 100 planes from the
sea, when Great Britain and the United States, the superpowers,
enlisted all their strategic capabilities to attack my home, my
home was not the target. The aim was to kill the Palestine cause,
to kill pan-Arabism, to kill the cause of Arab unity, to kill the
cause of African liberation, and the Asian and Latin American
liberation [sound of chanting: With our souls, with blood, we
redeem you, our leader]
But, dear brothers, they are ignorant and do not learn from the
lessons of history. The liquidation of individuals will never be
sufficient to eliminate nations. The will of the nation is renewed,
generation after generation, and the aspirations of nations are
not embodied only in an individual; nations struggle for self-
determination and the masses triumph in the end.
They were ignorant of history when they killed Guevara. They
believed they had eliminated revolution in Latin America, but
here is the revolution today in Central America, in Latin Amer-
ica, burning the land under the feet of fascism, burning under
the feet of imperialism, and is robbing the military junta in the
Pentagon in America of sleep. The revolution is burning on the,
borders of America, the borders of the United States after the
death of Guevara and after they believed that they had achieved
peace with the elimination of Guevara. Let them know, dear
brothers, that the masses continue with Guevara or without him,
with AI-Nasir or without-him, with Al-Qadhdhati or without
him. The masses continue to determine their fate, to impose their
will, to live in freedom and pride on their land and under its sun.
[sound of chanting]
O brothers, what have they gained from these barbarous raids?

What did they reap from these raids for which they mobilize all
the capabilities of the Atlantic Alliance? They mobilized ,the
United States' capabilities which were originally planned for
attacking Moscow. They used them to attack the cities of Tripoli
and Banghazi. The mobilized the capabilities of Great Britain
and the strategic bases in Britain which were ready to attack the
Warsaw,Pact. They mobilized the air and naval bases of NATO
in Europe and the Mediterranean. But no matter what the
aggressor mobilize, when they had mobilized all possible cap-
abilities all they had left was nuclear bombs. Apart from that
they deployed all their strategic weapons. They all got together
in alliance, as if they wanted to invade Moscow or to attack the
Warsaw Pact. They reaped disciplinary, moral, political, and
military defeat, O Brothers.
Did we retreat from the challenge? Did we abandon our
steadfastness? Our determination is all the stronger. We chal-
lenge,stand fast, we fight, we liberate, we unify the Arab nation
so that the barbarians of the aggressive Atlantic alliance may
realize that, no matter how severe the shelling is, no matter how
many raids they launch, our homeland will never bow its head.
We will never retreat from the struggle. We will never abandon
the cause of unity. We will never abandon the cause of liberation.
We will further extend our hands to the peoples of Latin Amer-
ica. We will send arms to the rebels of Latin America, in spite of
America, to show America that we are stronge and more chal-
lenging. Obrothers, if the struggle for the liberationof Palestine
is seen by them as terrorism, then we will carry on with this
terrorism, ceaselessly.. If they regard the liberation of people as
terrorism, then we will fearlessly carry on with such terrorism. If
the unification of the Arab nation is regarded by them as
terrorism, we will keep on practicing such terrorism and
struggling for it. If the establishment of socialism, the Jama-
hiriyah, and progress is regarded by them as terrorism, then we
will continue such terrorism. If the Palestine people's struggle is
regarded as terrorism, then we are terrorists. O brothers, we
understand that we are a great nation. We are the leaders of a
world revolution which combines the masses of all continents.
They are burning our land under the feet of the imperialists. We
understand that we are a superpower. Even if we do not possess
carriers or military bases, we are back by the masses of the six
continents of the world. We are supported by rebels all over the
world. We are at the head of a sweeping international popular
revolution. We are part of a great Arab nation which extends
from the ocean to the Gulf, a revolution bent on struggle until it
conquers and unifies. We are part of an Islamic world comprising
a billion Muslims, who face the stumbling crusade led by the
United States of America. Dear brothers, we have to realize our
great strength, which has its roots in the various continents of the
world. They have to succumb to our will. They have to negotiate
with us on an equal basis. They have to respect our will and our
borders. They have to realize that we are bent on struggle till the
end. We have our rights under the sun and on the land, with all
pride and merit.
This treacherous attack was smashed because it was an unjust
aggression against a peaceloving people. Their aircraft were
downed. The bodies of their pilots were scattered. Their aircraft ;
dropped their loads in the sea and they fled from the hell which
was burnung before. them when the pilots realized that all the
schemes were lies and that the information given to them was all
deception. They found out that reality was completely different
from the schemes of the American black house. [Words indistinct
due to sound of chanting] They found hell facing them, they
found firmness, they found struggle. Therefore, they have now
started to deploy cruise missiles. It is a great thing and it is
another honor for us when the United States starts thinking
about deploying cruise missiles. It is a great honor for this small
people, for this steadfast and defying citadel, when the United
States announced yesterday and the day before yesterday in its
papers and in all its rotten circles, when it talked about deploying
cruise missiles. This means that they failed despite the Air Force,
the fleets, the propaganda, the secret action, the poison, the
assassination, and the war of nerves. They failed because we have
the right. They have now begun to think about trying to terrorize
us with cruise missiles. To hell with cruise missiles! We do not
fear cruise missiles, we do not fear the bombers, we do not fear
the carriers. We have a right on our land. Our determination is
stronger than their iron which we have weakened and destroyed.
Our determination will not be demolished. What did they get
from the aggression? We have increased our firmness, we have
more international support, our insistence on fighting imperial-
ism and Zionism has increased.
Let them hear brothers, and let the world hear. Has the chanting
of the Libyan Arab masses changed? Are the Libyan Arab
.masses afraid? They are still saying: Raspberry to America, and:
A thousand rasppberries to America, ands a thousand Raspber-
ries to the allies of America, and: a thousand raspberries to Arab
hirelings of America who are reactionaries, effeminate, and
subservient around us in the Arab world.
Brothers, after those raids, did our voice change? Did we bow our
heads? Did we retreat? Were we terrorized by them? Did they
tame us? Did they intimidate us? We will not be frightend by
their childish terrorism. What did they gain from these barbaric
raids? O brothers, did we abandon the Palestinian cause after
that aggression? Did we retreat from our struggle for the liber-
ation of Palestine? Did we retreat from our Arab unity? Did we
retreat from socialism? Did we retreat from our leadership of the
world revolution? Did we retreat from building the Jamahiriyah?
Dear brothers, we will force them to negotiate with us and treat
us a equals. In the meantime, however, we declare that we will
not negotiate with the United States of America as long as it is
led by the mad Israeli:dog?a~nd_the Mosad agent. When he was
an actor in Hollywood, he acted as an agent for Mosad. We will
never negotiate with America as long as it is ruled by the mad
Israeli dog who is not worthy of being an American president.
He is merely a mad Israeli dog who works for Zionism. Ronald
Reagan was recruited by the Israeli Mosad when he was an actor
in Hollywood. ~IH` `e~wan ed t~o'conceal h`s rmina~l background as
an agent of ,i~-tler's.Gestapo~;:RonaldnReagan, was an agent of the
German Gestapo during the Nazi Hitler period. In order to hide
that, he went too far in covering up his Nazi background.
Therefore, he presented himself to the Israeli Mosad in Hol-
lywood and offered his services to Israeli intelligence. During his
time as an actor, he was recruited by Israeli intelligence to work
as an Israeli Mosad spy, until he was elected governor of on of
the states. Then the Zionists elected him President of the United
States. In view of all that, we do not expect the President of the
United States to act as a president of a superstate. This is
demonstrated by what he did, what he is doing, and will do in the

future. This is evidence that he is not acting a president of the
superstate, the United States. He is merely a toy in the hands'bf
the Zionists.
I received messages, I received a stream of messages after the
aggression from U.S. citizens. These messages exist and because
they are so many we are unable to publish them. But any observer
[mutal`i], any journalist in the world can see these many mes-
sages. They all say: We did not at all elect Ronald Reagan to be
our president. And they all swore that Zionism alone was able on
election day to gather its people at the polling stations, and that
the real Americans did not elect this banal man at all. This
indicates that it was only the Zionists in the United States who
gave their votes to Reagan to become U.S. President. And now
the truth has become evident to the American people and the
American people have begun to wake up and to realize that they
are led by a mad man, a trivial man, by a rabid Israeli dog, and
he will suffer adversity. The age of Reagan is the age of the hen
you have [applause] at a chicken farm. When a hen is 2 years old,
it stops laying eggs and is replaced by another hen. What is left
for Reagan? Even his political age, his age in the Presidency
equals the age of a hen at a chicken farm now. After 24 months,
it is finished, Reagan ends and the hen ends. [applause]
After the fall of the rabid Israeli dog who rules the United States
and who is leading the world toward destruction now, we can
negotiate with the United States as equals. [sound of chanting]
After the awakening of American society, the awakening of the
American people, and it grasps the farce being acted out by this
actor on the world stage, and dangers which he brings to the
United States and its sons and to the world -after his fall we
are ready to negotiate with the United States as equals so that it
may respect our waters, provinces, air space, and recognize that
we are a stubborn opponent. We do not bend, we do not submit
or retreat and we are not like the Arabs who are prostrate the
agents of America, whom the White House considered to be like
the rulers. The White House considered all the Arabs to be like
the rulers. There are agent Arab rulers, submissives, who repre-
sent only themselves. But the masses, the masses are the ones
which the United States should take into consideration.
Greetings to the Tunisian people who attacked the Marines and
killed the Marines on the land of Tunisia. [applause] Greetings
to the Tunisian people whose leaders entered the prisons. Al-
Mistiri is still in prison because he led the Tunisian (?angry)
masses. On this occasion I tell you, dear brothers, that any
Libyan citizen who had a Tunisian worker and who did not pay
what is owed to him, after you had known that your Tunisian
brothers and the Tunisian workers we had here and whom we
had no need for, were among those who led the demonstrations
against the United States and attacked the U.S. Navy in Tunis
and killed its members, they are the ones who entered prisons.
Therefore, you should understand that all that was said about the
Tunisian workers who were in Libya was lies, falsehood, and
slander by the intelligence service.
As for the workers, they are the workers, and the workers are our
allies in Tunisia, other countries, and all over the world and we
are leading the revolution of the workers so that they may become
partners, not wage earners, all over the world. Every Libyan who
used to employ a Tunisian worker and did not pay him should
NORTH AFRICA
reconsider this. He knows the address of the Tunisian worker and
should give it to a popular organization in the Jamahiriyah in
order to present to what is due to the Tunisian worker in the form
of money, possessions, and rights due from the Libyan citizen.
Any Tunisian worker who is owed something by the Libyans, all
the Libyans who used to employ Tunisian brothers, should pay
their dues to those workers as a greeting and admiration for the
pan-Arab stand by the Tunisian people, the work of Tunisia and
the free men of Tunisia who stood by you and formed a single
front against America.
There were demonstrations everywhere in the Arab homeland.
The Egyptian masses rebelled in Egypt, demonstrating their
resistance to the complete hegemony which America now exer-
cises over Egypt. America now knows that the Arab masses are
against it, hate it, and are ready to fight it from Tunisia to Egypt.
Let the United States understand the reality of the Arab nation.
Let the United States know how many Arabs hate it because it
is an imperialist country and because it attacks them, and
because it wants to enslave them and to conquer them. The
Egyptian people hate the United States and demonstrated
against the United States inspite of their subservient rulers. The
subservient cowardly rulers of Egypt should hide themselves and
be ashamed. It is the U.S. 6th Fleet which tours the ports of Port
Said, Alexandria, and Marsa Matruh, which attacks the homes
of their Libyan brothers and kills their children and women,
while they are [word indistinct]. The American forces, which
have trained in past years on Egyptian territory -they applied
this training on Libyan territory, and they will apply it tomorrow
on Egyptian territory. Are the subservient, puppet, cowardly
rulers of Egypt, who have shamed great Egypt and the Arab
nation, still servicing any of the U.S. 6th Fleet units? We will
fight any Arab country that accepts any of the U.S. 6th Fleet
units, because it interferes in the aggression against us, and we
will punish it, and we are warning it from now. The U.S. 6th fleet
is an Israel-American fleet, because the U.S. 6th fleet has signed
a strategic military agreement with Israel, and the U.S. 6th Fleet
has become American-Israeli fleet. If any Arab country accepts
any unit of the U.S. 6th fleet, this means that the Israeli Navy is
able to visit the ports of that country. Let the Arab masses of the
Arab countries which the U.S. 6th Fleet visits, understand that
the U.S. 6th Fleet is an American-Israeli fleet according to the
strategic military agreement signed between the United States
and the Israelis. As from now, any Arab country granting
facilities to the U.S. 6th Fleet is considered to be in confrontation
against the Great Jamahiriyah, and we warn its regime and
rulers.
We say to them: the United States will not subjugate us. We
defeated the United States. You trivial people, you are nothing
but a feather, a drop in the sea, a drop in the sea of the Arab
nation where America is concerned. We were attacked by super-
powers: the United States, Britain, and NATO. We defeated
them and we demolished them. We will not capitulate. Our
defiance and firmness have increased. [chanting of slogans]
Therefore, we appeal in these hours in which the Arab nation is
facing this new crusading aggression. We appeal to the Egyptian
Army, to the officers, to the noncommissioned officers, to the
soldiers, to all cadres in the Egyptian Armed Forces in Salum,
Matruh and the oppressed capital, in Al-Kara) and [word indis-

tinct]. We appeal to all the forces of the Egyptian Armed Forces,
its land, naval, and air forces, its air defense. We appeal to
Egyptian students, farmers, workers, and intellectuals to start the
revolution to defeat the United States, to defeat the cowards, to
defeat humiliation, the rulers of Egypt who brought shame to the
Egyptian Army and people, the history of Egypt, the great past
of Egypt which Egypt wrote with blood in defense of the Palestin-
ian question, in defense of the Arab identity, building socialism,
building Arab unity.
These cowards have tarnished Egypt, these bastards who are
sitting on the throne in the oppressed capital, in the canal, and in
the Egyptian sky. The Egyptian Army should revolt, the Egyp-
tian people should start the revolution. We appeal to the
graduates of Al-Azhar mosque, to the graduates of AI-Azhar to
proclaim a holy war in Egypt against the tenth crusade campaign
which is led by the United States against the Arab nation and
against the Islamic nation. We appeal to the students of `Ayn
Shams University and Asyut University, we appeal to the farm-
ers and workers in Egypt. We appeal to the port workers in Port
Said, in Alexandria, in Marsa Matruh, to oppose the U.S.
presence, to destroy the U.S. presence, to refuse any U.S. pres-
ence. They should revolt to destroy the shame in Egypt, to
demolish humiliation in Egypt, to put an end to the life of
America in Egypt.
Brothers, the trivial U.S. imperialists, the agents of Zionism, say
Libya is isolated. By this they are reassuring themselves and.
deceiving themselves How.can Libya, wit,~,h~hom the six con-
tinents are in harmony, lieoted,`you ~mpertalisfs? Are you
telling lies to yourselves or to the world which is now taking part
with us in this eternal heroic battle.
he is trivial and that he wants to compensate for this by war and
by terrorism on peoples? The answer is assuredly no, because the
emperor of Japan does not feel that he is trivial. But Reagan feels
he is trivial and he wants to offset this by putting his fleets on the
move and by terrorizing small peoples. Why then should you link
your fate with that of somebody who has issues and positions
completely different from yours?
Then you, Japanese rulers, have you been agents of the Israeli
Mosad? Assuredly no! This man Reagan is an agent of the Israeli
Mosad. He wants to serve Zionism. Was the emperor of Japan
elected by Zionism? No! The U.S. President was elected by
Zionism. Therefore, do not tie your fate with his because he is
completely different from you - in his background, his present,
and his future.
Thus, pressure began in Japan today at official level, and divi-
sions began in the ruling party in Japan. Japan, the Japanese
Government, has realized that it has been dragged along by a
man - he is not in fact a man, he belongs to a category
somehwere between man and gorilla. [Al-QadhdhaCi laughs] It
has been dragged along by an individual who suffers from
complexes, he harbors a crusading contempt, he is tied to Zion-
ism, his past was with the German. Gestapo. Why should Japan
make a mistake and show courtesy to him and say that Libya is
a terrorist country in the statement of the failed summit. Yester-
dayand today, a rift on an official level emerged. Yesterday, the
Japanese prime minister was obliged to hold a press conference
and he said: I dissociate myuself from the statement in which we
mentioned Libya, because Libya was right and it is not terrorist.
We have made a mistake, this is American terrorism ,this is
crazy.
What happened after the aggression? They. hit Reagan with
missiles in Japan, and he fell flat on his `stomach. Was it Al- -
Qadhdhafi who made these missiles? Was it Al-Qadhdhafi who '
went to Tokyo and launched these missiles ,Millions went out
and surrounded this.conference, surrounded the child-killers and
forced them to get out humbly under heavy guard. Thirty thou-
sand policemen were assigned the task to guard them, assigned .
to guard 7 persons in fear of the angry millions.
Reagan must understand. He had the answer from Tokyo; he had
the answer from Japan which he believes is his ally. We also went
to greet the Japanese people who answered the call. Greetings to
the Japanese people [applause] who fought with you in the same.
trench! The front stretched from Libya to Japan. The Japanese
people are holding high your pictures, holding high your slogans,
and attacking your imperialist enemies in Tokyo. Greetings to
the Japanese people, to the dynamic forces in Japan!
But we must say a word to the Japanese Government. We want
to say to it: When you agreed to the mentioning of Libya's name
in the failed communique, in the failed conference - we say to
Japan: Do you, Japan, have a link with the crusade? The answer
is assuredly no, because Japan is neither a Catholic, nor a Jewish,
nor an Islamic state. They have their own religion. Therefore,
this mad Israeli dog and the child-killer Thatcher, who are
waging acrusade-type war against the Arabs and the Muslims,
therefore you the Japanese- I mean the Japanese rulers -what
is your relation with the crusade? Does your emperor feel that
Brothers, when we were contacted by West European officials,
they told us: Do not blame us for the official statements and the
official decisions because we are under American terrorism, and
on the other hand we know that this Reagan is trivial and crazy.
He is a supporter of Zionism. We will put up with him for 24 or
25 months, a hen's age in poultry terms. until he vanishes and we
will be spared his evil. Afterwards, relations between us and you,
from the political and economic view, will be restored as they
were before. Official leaders in Western Europe secretly
informed us of this. They said he is crazy; do not blame us; but
what can we do? He is leading the United States until he dies.
Let us deal with him despite his madness and triviality.
They are laughing at him. The rulers of Western countries
contacted us secretly and told us this. Let him listen to this. Let
him attack Western Europe.~We say that any country which

violence. Let Egypt understand that if we smell from it any action
which is directed against us .. houses for terrorists, meetings of
terrorists, statements of terrorists, training for terrorists - we
will attack it militarily just like America does.
The United States attacked Libya without finding camps for
terrorists or terrorism in Libya. But it attacked homes, schools,
and the Poliomyelitis Institute in Bangahzi. But we know that
there are homes and positions around us in which there are
terrorists. We will attack these positions militarily, and from now
on nobody can protest against us.
To Italy we say: Now we are friends of the Italian people.
Brothers, you should understand that the Italian people now are
not the people of 1911. In 1911, the Italian people were against
the aggression and demonstrated against it. It was the Italian
Government then, and after that it was the fascist government of
Mussolini who escalated the aggression against Libya. The Ital-
ian people carried out fierce anti-American demonstrations, the
last of which was about 3 nights ago, when Italian youths with
knives attacked and killed American soldiers from the aircraft
carriers. Let Reagan now attack Naples because some (?Italians)
attacked Americans. Did he not say that he will attack anyone
who attacks an American? So why does he not attack Naples
with aircraft?
After the aggression against Libya, did not some Germans in
Germany attack Americans and kill them? So why does he not
attack Bonn? They attacked him personally in Tokyo. So why
does he not move the aircraft carriers in and attack Tokyo? There
is an American citizen in danger, if he is an American citizen. In
Khartoum, did not a Sudanese citizen kill an American with a
knife or a bullet? In Sanaa, did not an Arab citizen kill the
American intelligence officer of the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa?
And the U.S. intelligence officer in Khartoum? In Latin Amer-
ica,all the U.S. embassies were exposed to attacks. In Sri Lanka,
the Tamils blew up an airliner with American and English
passengers. Let him attack Colombo!
Therefore, the issue is not one in which an American killed so
they then attack the country which killed the American. No! The
issue is a crusade. Hatred for the Arab nation; hatred for the
Islamic East. Therefore we call on 1 billion Muslims to confront
the tenth crusade which is led by the United States. The issue is
not one of terrorism; it is an issue of jihad and a crusade aimed
against Islam and aimed at destroying Islam and stopping it from
developing. [sound of chanting: jihad, jihad]
At this level, dear brothers, we should redouble our alliances with
the Iranian Islamic revolution, with revolutionary Afghanistan,
and with all the Islamic jihad movements in the world, because
we are facing a crusade led by the United States, seeking flimsy
justifications. When France occupied Algeria it said the Bey of
Algeria hit the French ambassador with a fly whisk and con-
sequently France occupied Algeria. This is a joke, but the basic
objective was that the West at the time wanted to colonize the
Arab homeland. When Britain occupied Egypt in 1882 they said:
By God, AI-Barudi, the prime minister of Egypt, has repaired the
cannons in Alexandria, in the port of Alexandria. The com-
mander of the British fleet sent a message saying that the
repairing of the Alexandria cannons threatens the security of the
British fleet in the Mediterranean. Imagine this! Consequently
he said: I am forced, in defense of Britain and in self-defense, to
attack Alexandria. He attacked Alexandria and occupied Egypt.
Ultimately they were expelled from it and they tasted affliction
in it. And now the same thing: the Gulf of Sidra threatens the
freedom of navigation of the United States. Imagine this!
The issue, brothers, is not that of the cannons of Alexandria, or
that the French ambassador was hit with a fly whisk, and not the
Gulf of Sidra or the Sam-5, or the Berlin night club, Rome, or
Vienna. The issue is one of looking for justifications. It is a
conflict between the West and the East. It is a crusade. It is an
aggressive war, very hostile to the Arab nation, hostile to pan-
Arabisms, hostile to Semitism because the Arabs are Semites.
They do not want this nation to unite, to get stronger, and
consequently they seek the forces which will emerge and incite
the nation to liberation. They want Israel to replace the Arabs.
Therefore they chose Libya, not because of the Berlin night club,
but because Libya is a challenging, rising, and an inciting force.
It is not submissive.
Yesterday and today they picked on Syria with the same tune:
Terrorism, terrorism, terrorism. It is true: After Libya they go
for Syria, and after Syria they go for Yemen, and after Yemen
they go for Algeria, and after that they will go for those who think
that they are their friends: the Arab moderates, as they say. But
their turn will come as well. Let the Arab rulers, America's
friends, know that this friendship is false. They must know the
fate of (Shareef Husayn) of Mecca during world War I. He allied
himself with the allies: they named him the king of the Arabs:
they supplied him with guards and bestowed on him exaggerated
respect and deceptful ceremonies. They deceived him as they are
deceiving the Arab moderates now. They told him: You are the
king of the Arabs, just cooperate with us against Turkey. He
allied himself with them, and they liberated the Arab nation from
the Ottoman colonialism. When they took the Arab nation, they
threw him into the sea and he died in the Mediterranean. I am
the king of the Arabs; he said. I am your friend. They told him:
We do not know you. Our friend is the Arab nation which we
wanted to take, and now we have taken it. Here we will put
Jordan, here we will put Iraq, here we will put Syria, here we will
put Lebanon and Palestine. They threw (Shareef Husayn) into
the sea. This is the fate of Arab rulers who think that they are
America's friends. They will be thrown in the desert. They will
be replaced by the Israelis.
Yesterday, O brothers, a very, very, dangerous step was taken.
Subservient Arab rulers should understand. The Israelis signed
an agreement at the Pentagon, an agreement -one part of it is
public, another part of it is secret - on the participation of the
Israelis in "Star Wars." Imagine now, what is called Israel has
joined "Star Wars" program! This has extremely dangerous
consequences. First of all, Israel has become America and Amer-
ica has became I's~ael as it were, which I personally reject. Then
the Israelis will fight the Arabs with Israeli-American cap-
abilities. Tliey will participate in the space program. This means
that war in?tlie?future between Syria and the Israelis, between
Jordan and the Israelis, between Saudi Arabia or Iraq or Egypt
or us and the Israelis, will be fought by American military space
shuttles, because the Israelis are participating in this program.

Internationally speaking, the Israelis have become involved in a
war against the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, because the
"Star Wars" program is directed against the Warsaw Pact and
the Soviet Union. Since the Israelis are participating in it, they
have become a party in the war against the Warsaw Pact and the
Soviet Union. This now puts us on on_e side, and the Israelis and
NATO on the other side.
On this occasion, I would like to say that the Arab official
position is unable to oppose the aggressors. We appeal to the
soldiers and officers in the Arab armies to start the revolution,
to remove ithe borders, and to enter the battle with us, the battle
of glory, the battle of honor, the battle of the Arab nation. The
end of this battle will decide the fate of the Arab nation and the
fate of imperialism. [chanting of slogans] I appeal to the officers,
soldiers, and noncommissioned officers in the Arab armies to
revolt if the Arab regimes are officially unable to confront the
aggression and unable to safeguard the Arab nation.
What are the Arab armies from the ocean to the Gulf waiting
for? I appeal to the young, the farmers, the workers, and the
intellectuals in the Arab nation to remove the borders and join
the Great Jamahiriyah in the battle of honor, the battle of fate
against the crusaders, imperialism, and Zionism. We say to them:
0 brothers, we will not capitulate, we will not bow, we will never
let you down. We will fight! We will be the example of sacrifice
and struggle for the sake of the Arab nation and its future. We
will fight until the Arab armies across the imaginary borders join
us and the Arab masses across the imaginary borders join us. %
Salute to the masses of the Arab nation which rose in Sudan!i
Millions took to the streets in Sudan and they chased the
Americans. Evacuation took place after the aggression, real
evacuation from the Arab nation, American passenger planes
evacuated thousands of Americans from Sudan and Yemen, the
rest of them are scattered in the Arab nation. You should
understand that after this battle a real evacuation of Americans
from the Arab nation took place. The United States should
understand why thousands of Americans were evacuated from
Sudan and Yemen. Because the Arab people in Sudan and
Yemen hate them. It jumped on them and killed them and
continued killing them until they were thrown out.
But as I have said repeatedly, it cannot at all be compared with
the strength of the United States, which is built primarily against
the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. But the United States cannot
occupy Libyan soil despite its mighty strength. We in the rev;
olution command have decided to arm the Libyan cities from
Tubruq to Zuwarah, all of them will become arms and fire, and,
the Libyan coast will become a line of fire and of wnfrontation
[chantings of God is great and applause) We decided, dear
brothers, to arm the Libyan cities so that the United States knows
and its allies know that the Libyan people -which stretches over
2000 kilometers on the Mediterranean -will become a [word

Americans land on the Libyan coast-they will burn, they will`die..

requested is that each one of you, each one of the 1 million pay

[Words indistinct] we know that the people of Sicily is a brother

Lampedusa, whom our missiles hit and destroyed the telewm-
munications station belonging to the U.S. 6th Fleet,_We say to
them that we shall destroy completely this island in the future if
a U.S. aggression is committed against us from there. The
population of Lampedusa should leave this island and leave it to
Americans so that we may destroy it completely when the
confrontation comes, or the Americans leave it. If the Americans
leave the island of Lampedusa, we shall be in peace with this
island, share its hand, and establish cordial relations with it. We
shall not direct any military operations against it. The same
applies to Sicily and Italy as a whole. [1 minute break in
transmission]. We want peace with you, friendship with you, The
Italian people is our friend and hates the United States like us,
because it is imperialism, it is aggressive; it wants to colonize
them and us and wants to sacrifice the interests of Europe and
the Arab homeland; it wants to transform the Mediterranean into
a lake of war, destruction, and military operations in order to
destroy the interests of Europe with the Arab world, because the
United States has no interests in the Mediterranean. It wants
only to achieve a military presence in order to defend Israel .and
to be near the Warsaw Pact. Italy should expel. the U.S. presence;
otherwise we cannot turn a blind eye to any new U.S. campaigns
from Italy. If we can, we shall attack Italy.
[Patriotic slogans chanted: Arabs, Arabs, revolutionary Arabs]
The price of a Kalashnikov rifle is no more than 200 dinars; either
150 or 200 dinars. It is for nothing, by God, [laughter] a Kalash-
nikov for 150 dinars. Naturally, the Kalashnikov is a great thing,
and for 200 dinars it is for nothing. [Mostly indistinct slogans
praising the leader]
One million Libyans are required, and I want every Libyan to
pay the price of a Kalashnikov rifle, whether we make it in our
plants or we buy it from abroad. The price of a Kalashnikov rifle
is just between 150 and 200 dinars. Every one, [more patriotic
slogans chanted in defiance interrupting AI-Qadhdhafi] they
must learn that the Libyan coast will become a firing line, and
anyone landing on it will be burned. The United States cannot
fight 1 million Libyans along all the vast. Let the United States
hit the air bases; let it strike at naval bases; let it hit missile sites,
but it will never hit the giant Arab Libyan will. In no way can it
destroy this will.
Missiles and bombs cannot but add staunchness and defiance to
the will of combatants. They might destroy (?walls), they might
destroy iron objects, but bombs and missiles do not destroy free
will. Free will becomes more staunch and more obdurate and
defiant whenever it is hit with missiles and whenever it is hit with
bombs.
Dear brothers, I want from you, I ask for 1 million Libyans to be
ready to fight in cities, but, dear brothers, [chantings] what is

equipped 100 jet fights from the U.S. 6th Fleet to protect the 33
aircraft. But brothers, they have dropped bombs, they have
dropped missiles. But we were stronger than missiles and stronger
than bombs. We are more defiant, more obdurate, more willfull
and more courageous. [Slogans in praise of AI-Qadhdhafi the
leader]
People advised me, saying: please leave the home, in Bab al-
Aziziyah. Then the latest thing was that miliary targets began to
appear on our radar screens, and provocations began at our
broders. They said: There is a likelihood that an attack happens
tonight. I told them: The world cannot be the scene of something
of this kind; it did not happen in the past, and it will not happen
in the future. It is not possible that the residence of a head of
state - to use their own traditional termonology - no residence
of a head of state has ever been attacked in any war in the world;
nor has the home of a head of state ever been attacked, or his
family and children.
I said to them, this is impossible. It is impossible for an attack to
be launched against the house, or against Bab al-Aziziyah,
because Bab al-Aziziyah includes the Hospitality Palace -the
tent in which we receive the heads of states. The heads of states
spend the night in the Hospitality Palace in Bab al-Aziziyah; the
press conferences are held in Bab al-Aziziyah -all the meetings
with representatives of the people and from abroad are in Bab
al-Aziziyah. They know all these things. Their press knows these
things. The Americans themselves - U.S. ambassadors and
representatives -met me in the past in Bab al-Aziziyah. I said
to them, It is known that Bab al-Aziziyah does not contain
anything but the house, the tent, and the Hospitality Palace, and
the tent in which we prepare the banquets for the heads of foreign
states when we invite them to dinner. I said to them .that it is
impossible for these countries to stoop to the level of attacking
such place. We expected them to attack military positions, and
we would resist them. But suddenly, the attack was concentrated
on the house and Bab al-Aziziyah.
Q 9 NORTH AFRICA
In fact, the attack, I, do excuse me, spent all that time saving the
children, and my wife. During those moments, I did not go to the
military operations center because those moments were the
moments spent in saving the children from the U.S. attack. I
mean, it was not how to save a military base, and not have to save
the Jamahiriyah. The house became the target, and in order to
foil the attack it was necessary to save the house, to save the
family: This is because I knew that their target was Mu`ammar
Al-Qadhdhafi's family, the house of Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi
and Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi himself. Therefore, if I saved the
children, then the attack would fail, because the attack was not
directed against a military target but against the house.
Therefore, if I saved them the attack would have filed. Actually,
they were saved with difficulty during the bombing, for the house
was being destroyed and the windows smashed. The house began
to (?disintegrate). Iwas going to the children when the door flew
out of my hand.
After we saved them, I went to the military operations center.
After I was informed about the situation, we found out that the
whole attack was concentrated against the house, and that they
said they would strike at Banghazi and Tripoli to terrorize the
masses so that they would not be alert and defend Al-Qadhdhafi.
Therefore, they carried out blind raids over Banghazi and Tripoli
to terrorize these two cities. They said that the majority of the
Libyan population lives in Banghazi and Tripoli, so let us drop
some bombs and terrorize them, and this way they would not be
conscious of the death of Al-Qadhdhafi, or the attack against the
house of Al-Qadhdhafi.
However, they recorded their shame and cowardice. The first
thing is that they are cowards, because they attacked us with
aircraft that would be used in World War III. They kept their
aircraft carriers near Italy, far from our aircraft. The stick of the
coward is long,, as we said. They brought a very long stick and
(?struck with it). When they finished, they said we might hit them
with intercontinental missiles.
I mean, I did not go away from... [AI-Qadhdhafi changes
thought] I mean, I intended, from the house, after the people
[words indistinct]. I intended to go to a military position and
direct the battle. But the attack was against the house. Those who
were with me said, Did we not tell you? In fact, the amazing thing
is that a superpower such as Britain, a superpower such as the
United States and the European countries would stoop to the
level of attacking with very advanced strategic equipment. -
After these aircraft, there is nothing but atomic bombs -and
all this to strike a house and kill someone to kill his children and
his wife.
In fact, instead of going to the military operations center during
the bombing, I was preoccupied with how to save the children
and how to get them from under the ruins -from the broken
windows and the destroyed house. I knew that the attack was
concentrated on the house. The whole battle, which was led by
the United States, was against the house of AI-Qadhdhafi. The
battle in which Britain took part by allowing the U.S. strategic
bases and the F-111 aircraft to participate in it. They used all the
strategic military means that they would use against the Warsaw
Pact against the house of Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi.
First, If America uses cruise missiles, it is the duty of the USSR,
in accordance with all the arrangements made in the aftermath
of the World War II, to use missiles against the cruise missiles
in order to destroy them, .in preservation of world peace in the
Mediterranean and world peace in general. Furthermore, we the
Libyans, Let them hit us with cruise missiles which cannot
compel us to do anything. [laughter around Al-Qadhdhafi; Al-
Qadhdhafi isalso laughing] We are not afraid and cruise missiles
do nothing to us; our land is capable. of absorbing cruise missiles
and even atomic bombs. If they throw several atomic bombs on
Libya, by God, nothing will happen to it. The atomic bomb with
which they are scaring you, by God, if they drop several atomic
bombs this will not make us surrender. [applause] [sentence as
received]
They hit Japan with atomic bombs. Today it is the biggest
economic and industrial power. The American President finds
himself forced -despite the missiles they threw over his head,
and the curses, and the spitting -they hit him with shoes and
missiles - he is forced to go humiliated to Japan. Japan, whom
they hit with atomic bombs the day before yesterday, has today
become stronger than America -the biggest industrial power
that wmpetes with America. The American President was forced

to go and beg Japan to halt its exports and its invasion of world
markets; otherwise America would go bankrupt. They hit him
with shoes, missiles, and spat on him, and yet he swallowed his
pride to seek' sympathy from Japan, which, the day before
yesterday, they used to hit with atomic bombs. I mean, atomic
bombs do not end nations; otherwise, they would have annihilated
Japan. Rather, after the atomic bombs Japan has emerged as the
biggest industrial power despite the fact that Japan consists of a
limited number of islands. As for Libya, it is a continent. Even if
they hit it with atomic bombs, I can assure you, by God, that we
will not surrender or even die. At Bab AI-Aziziyah, two pigeons
died. Imagine, the horse was there and tied up; they poured
bombs on it and it did not die. The camel did not die. [laughing]
[chantings] The biggest laser-guided bombs they directed at Bab
AI-Aziziyah. Soldiers were on guard, at gates and in the open;
not one soldier was killed, [chanting God is great] and nothing
flew. Of course, as I have said, the angels without doubt fought
with us. God's air defense together with the Libyan air defense,
fought side by side. [chantings: God is great]
[Slogans: God is great; may a tempest hit America) Therefore,
brothers, they must reexamine all their plans against us in their
policies. They must realize that military might cannot bring
nations to their knees; on the contrary, it would add to our
defiance and staunchness. If arbitration is sought in force we are
not afraid; it cannot be written about us that we have kneeled
before to force. America is not stronger than Italy was in 1911
as far as we are concerned. Furthermore, we can undertake
suicide operations and destroy the U.S. Sixth Fleet. In the event
of extreme need, we can do this, and we can inflict destruction
on south Europe militarily.
But we are still saving our military force, and we are still avoiding
a mad confrontation of this kind. But when there is a case of
extreme necessity we can do this; we are capable of doing this,
brothers. We would accept losses but we would cause losses to
the enemy.
We are defending our right to live. Wrongdoers have attacked us
in our homes, killing our sons and children, destroying our houses,
terrorizing us and seeking to prevent us from raising our voice,
from liberating Palestine. They have hit Libya, and tomorrow
they will hit Syria; then they will hit Algeria. They will hit the
Arab homeland state after state.
Saudi Arabia must understand. Look at the crusade-like rancour!
The U.S. House of Representatives has refused to allow the sale
of arms to Saudi Arabia. It rejected it yesterday, saying that
Saudi Arabia is in the final analysis an Arab state and we hate
Arabs, we are crusaders and these are Muslims; we protect the
Jews, we protect Israel, and we cannot sell arms to an Arab state,
to an Islamic state; friends or no friends, in the end they are
Arabs. The Saudis must grasp the deep-seated hatred in the
United States against them and against the Arabs. This is indeed
a good one: Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representative banned
the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia, saying that in the end, Saudi
Arabia is an Arab state, an Islamic state; no question of selling
arms to it, arms which one day might be used against the Israelis.
America sacrifices its interests for the sake of Israel.
Q l0 NORTH AFRICA
The most important thing in this confrontation is that the world
has realized that there cannot be weakness and strength. The
world is either all weak or all strong. Therefore; we now care little
about nonalignement, since nonalignment does not protect the
small states. We now do not care about nonalignment. We accept
that the world, is divided into two strong camps, facing each other,
so that peace can be achieved by military deterrence. We are thus
closer now to the socialist camp now than ever before.
We are faced with two camps: a socialist camp working for peace
and an imperialist camp bent on destroying peace and peoples.
Assuredly, we will choose the socialist camp; the camp that works
for peace. The Soviet Union put forward a proposal for withdraw-
ingfrom the Mediterranean Sea in return for America withdraw-
ing the Sixth Fleet from the Mediterranean. America refused,
saying: No, my fleet stays in the Mediterranean to terrorize the
Arab peoples and to protect Israel. They told the Soviet Union:
You must understand that the Sixth Fleet is present to protect
the Israelis and to strike at the Arabs; therefore, we cannot
withdraw from the Mediterranean; you Russians withdraw if you
want.
The Soviet Union said that nuclear weapons should be destroyed
by the advent of the year 2000; American refused the destruction
of nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union put forward a proposal for
an end to nuclear tests, but America refused, and continued
underground nuclear tests. Recently, the Soviet Union, through
Gorbachev, put forward a proposal for the reduction of conven-
tional weapons, but the United States and NATO refused.
The United States and NATO refused to reduce even the conven-
tional weapons. The Soviet Union has no bases at any country.
It does not want to colonize any wuntry. If the Soviet colonized
a country, it would be considered colonialist and imperialist, and
our stands toward it would be the similar to our stand toward the
United States. But we are sure that the Soviet Union does not
want to colonize any country. The interest of the Soviet Union is
that people gain liberation so that the imperialist bloc decreases;
whereas, the imperialist bloc wants to colonize the people so that
the imperialist bloc widens.
Brothers, we should reconsider our international policy. On the
Arab level, if the Arab governments are unable, we should ally
ourselves with the masses, with the revolutionary forces, and with
the Palestinian revolutionary movements inside the Arab nation.
We should ally ourselves on the Islamic level with Afghanistan,
Iran, with the Islamic revolutionary forces, and with the jihad
movements. On the international level, we should become allies
with the socialist bloc to confront the imperialist bloc. But,
everything starts from the beginning. Every Libyan should pay
the price of a Kalashnikov. If he cannot pay it immediately, he
should pay on an installment per annum basis or for every more
years. It is only 200 dinars. I would like one million.,Libyans to
arm Libyan cities, to prepare slaiighterhouses'and guns fo the
.American sheep. We say to them as Churchill told the Nazis
during wwii during the Battle of Great Britain. He told them
sarcastically: This Hitler is continuously threatening: I will
invade Britain, I will invade Britain, I will mobilize ships, air-
craft,and submarines and defines like America mobilizing [word

Scandinavia. He established air bases in Norway, France, and
Holland. Every day he threatened verbally to attack Britain; I
will occupy the British isles, and: it must give in. Everyday he
asked them whether they were going to give in or not. Churchill
sent him a message and sacastically told him: We are waiting for
you and so are the fish. In fact, Hitler's soldiers came and they
were eaten by fish and the fire of Britain at that time. The great
Battle of Britain was the beginning of the end of the Nazi empire.
From there, Hitler proceeded to Russia and he was destroyed in
Russia, and that was the end of Nazism. We also say to the
Americans, we, o you Americans, o you sheep, we are waiting for
you, and so are the fish of the Mediterranean. [crowd shouts God.
is great]. Let them understand that there are no prisoners
between us and them; there are no prisoners between us and
them. Every American who falls in the hands of the Libyans will
be killed because when the .Libyan. ship. was hit. and. when the
crew of this ship left the stricken ship by rescue boats, American;
aircraft tried to kill the crew which was on board the rescue boats.
This is internationally banned. When the warships are destroyed,
its soldiers are considered prisoners and should be rescued. When
a dredger tried to rescue this ship American aircraft bombed
them.
Dr Peresypkin told Channel One of Jamahiriyah television that
the Soviet Union vehemently condemns the U.S. Government's
blatant, provocative policy against the Libyan Arab people. He
stated that the Soviet Union, which highly appreciates the'
steadfastness of the Great Jamahariyah and its firm resistance
to imperialism, reaffirms its boundless support for the Libyan
Arab people and their revolutionary leadership. The Soviet
ambassador strongly attacked the. results of the Tokyo summit
of capitalist states, saying: This. conference, which has deviated
from its professed aims, is the kind of meeting devoted to attack-
ing states like~Libya and the Soviet Union.

[Text] Dr Oleg Peresypkin, the USSR ambassador to the Great
Jamahariyah, has affirmed that the Soviet Union highly eval-
uates the efforts and initiatives of the brother leader of the
revolution to make the Mediterranean a lake of peace and
security and safeguard the interests of all peoples in the area, and
to fend off interference by racist U.S.-NATO imperialism.
[Text] United Nations May 8 (KUNA) -Libya said Thursday
[8 May] the United States and Israel were preparing public
opinion for aU.S.-Israeli attack against Syria. Speaking to
reporters, Libyan chief delegate `Ali A. al-Turayki warned,
however, the Soviet Union probably would not remain silent if
this type of aggression continued. AI-Turayki, who until recently
was. his country's foreign minister, said Libya had received
assurances of Soviet aid that go "beyond encouragement" and
that Tripoli may formalise its "very friendly relations" with the
Soviet Union by joining the Warsaw Pact treaty.
On the expected attack against Syria, AI-Turayki said Israel
would not act on its own but with approval from Washington.
This could drag the entire Arab world into a war with Israel and
the United States, he warned. AI-Turayki also demanded that
the United States apologise to Libya for the killing of Libyan
women and children during the recent air attack on his country
and for using undignified language in dealing with leaders of
other nations.
Al-Turayki said Reagan was waging a "crusade against the
Muslim and Arab world" and that the administration's "anti-
Arabism is very clear." "The hatred Mr Reagan has for Islam
and pan-Arabism is very well known now to everyone, and Libya
is only a scapegoat," he said."
AI-Turayki dismissed Reagan's support for arms deliveries to
Saudi Arabia in the face of Congressional opposition, saying this
support was nothing but a "comedy." "What kind of arms are
given to Saudi Arabia?" he asked. "As (former President Jimmy)
Carter himself said yesterday (Wednesday), such arms are avail-
able in Belgium, in France and in other parts of Europe,"
Al-Turayki said. Even Saudi Arabia was now being accused in
the United States of supporting terrorism, he said.

AI-Turayki questioned the credibility of information given to the
American public by the Reagan administration. "First the
Americans and the Germans said they had `irrefutable evidence'
of Libyan wmplicity in the Berlin discotheque bombing, and now
they are accusing Syria for the same incident," Al-Turayki said,
adding the mass media also were being prepared for an attack.
As evidence that preparations for a military strike were under
way, AI-Turayki cited recent claims of Syrian involvement in
terorist attacks by Vice President George Bush and Israeli
Defence Minister Rabin.
On the final communique issued after the seven-nation economic
summit in Tokyo, Al-Turayki ridiculed the U.S. contention that
a victory had been achieved on fighting terrorism. "All they
achieved is including the name of Libya in the communique, but
they failed to get a strong condemnatin. Reagan's `victory' is a
failure," AI-Turayki said. The official recalled that the vast
majority of nations -the 101-member Non-aligned Movement
and the socialist group -had condemned the U.S. air attack,
thus isolating not Libya but the United States.
On the reported cooling off of relations with the Soviet Union,
AI-Turayki said, on the contrary, "they have never been so solid
and friendly as they are now." Asked to comment on why the
Soviet Union failed to come to Libya's aid during the Mediterra-
nean conflict, AI-Turayki said, "We are a nonaligned country,
we are not part of the Warsaw Pact, for the time being, not yet,
but the Soviet Union gives us full support."
He said if a strike against Syria is carried out, there would be a
war between the Arab states and the United States and Israel.
"It is now time, like every ten years, for a new aggression by Israel
in order to take more land, and, I think, the failure of (secretary
of State George) Shultz in Lebanon makes the administration
more furious about the Arab countries," AI-Turayki said. Asked
why Israel apparently had picked Syria as a target, AI-Turayki
said: "I think everybody has his own preferences. Israel prefers
Syria as a target, the United States prefers Libya."
YAR's AI-Iryani Arrives in Tripoli 8 May

SPCA Spokesman Rejects AI-Mahdi Cease-Fire Call
EA08231 S (Clandestine) Radio oJ'the Sudanese
People's Liberation Army in English
1.300 GMT 8 May 86
[Text] A spokesman for the SPLM-SPCA has described the
recent statement by Sadiq al-Mahdi, the prime minister of
Sudan, on the constitutional conference as contrary to the spirit
of the Koka Dam declaration signed last March between the
SPLM-SPCA and the representatives of the National Alliance
for National Salvation. In principle, the SPLM-SPCA does not
recognize the present government in Khartoum. But as a de facto
government and also headed by Ummah party, which is a signa-
tory to the Koka Dam declaration, Mr Al-Mahdi is bound to
create an atmosphere conducive to the holding of the constitu-
tional conference scheduled to take place in Khartoum next
month. The call by the prime minister that the SPCA should
declare acease-fire and his threat to use the Army to wipe out
the SPCA before he could solve what he called the southern
problem are a violation of the Koka Dam declaration, the
spokesman said.
It is to be mentioned that the agenda of the proposed conference,
as stipulated by the declaration, is about finding solutions to
Sudan's fundamental problems and not the so-called southern
problem alone. The declaration also deferred the question of
cease-fire to a future date because the SPLM-SPCA considers
that as a logical sequence to the prevalence of climate free of
obstacles to security, safety and other restrictive laws. Sadiq
al-Mahdi, however, has bcen persistently giving press conference
to Arabic language press outside the country that he is going to
destroy the SPCA, after which he could solve what he calls the
problems of the southern Sudan.
The SPLM-SPCA spokesman concluded that the movement is
committed to the constitutional conference which its leader
initiated in March last [as heard] year. And because of that, the
spokesman said, we will ignore the provocative statements by the
prime minister of Sudan, Mr Sadiq al-Mahdi.
Samuel Aru Demands Cancellation of Islamic Laws

[Text] Khartoum, 8 May (SUNA) -Samuel Aru Pol, chairman
of the Southern Sudanese Political Association [SSPA], has
demanded that the Constituent Assembly cancel the Islamic laws
issued in 1983, and resort to the Addis Ababa agreement for
self-rule in the Southern Region. He said this will make room for
negotiations with all the southern parties to reach an agreement
on urgent national issues. He also demanded freezing all standing
issues at the present time until the convocation of the wnstitu-
tional conference that will discuss the form of rule in Sudan. In
a statement to the newspaper AL-AYYAM issued today, Smauel
Aru asserted that the SSPA's contacts with the Al-Ummah Party
and the Democratic Unionist Party continue to be in complete
agreement on all national issues and on the charter issued by the
two parties. He pointed out that the previous negotiations
resulted in positive steps. Aru appealed to the southern parties to
freeze the differences, particularly on how to [word indistinct] the

[Speech by Libyan leader Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi on 16 April;
place of speech not given - live or recorded]
[Text] [AI-Qadhdhafi appears on screen seated, wearing a white
military uniform with medals arrayed on his chest; throughout
the speech he does not look at the television camera]' [no audio
signal]...The patriotic songs and the appeals, these things have
tensed the nerves of people very much. The Americans [words
indistinct] We have munitions stockpiled like mountains. We
.fight them with 1 million fighters and the Arab nation, Africa,
the Third World -all the forces of liberation have expressed'
'readiness to fight with us. Thousands have (?expressed readiness)
to volunteer. It would be impossible for them to settle over the
Libyan land. It will become a hell under their feet [words
indistinct].
But the Americans fight us through raids, [?they open fire from
across the sea] I do not want you to give such a value. The whole
action was a failure. If raids take place we shall confront them
with every firmness and courage and inflict on them heavy losses
[words indistinct].
I mean the radio should (?calm) people's nerves with songs and
long monologues [words indistinct]. Life is in the hand of God.
The whole raid, I mean [words indistinct] 33 aircraft. This 'is
unbelievable. One hundred fighter aircraft, 33 attack aircraft,
[words indistinct] aircraft for midair refuelling. All 'this con-
centration was on the house and tent and to hell with [word
indistinct] force. What God has decreed will happen. He did not
expect that this attack by 33 aircraft on the home of AI-
Qadhdhafi would leave Al-Qadhdhafi alive. Generally, we are
not discussing the U.S. attitude because it is a mad attitude and
[?despicable]. [words indistinct].
If there are any living forces in America, then Reagan's govern-
ment should collapse, and ~he should be put on trial as a wac
criminal and murderer of children. This is because Reagan has.
issued the orders to his armed forces to kill our children: On the
,other hand, we have not issued any orders to murder anybody.
Even those who carried out operations in Europe are unknown
persons. Who knows them? Perhaps the U.S. intelligence carried
out these operations. Possible a Palestinian carried them out.
Anybody else could have carried out these operations. But he now
in front of the whole world is announcing arrogantly and inso-
lently and inhumanely that he gave his orders to murder the
children of AI-Qadhdhafi and to murder the children of the
Libyans. Therefore he is now proven guilty of issuing orders to
regular forces to murder children and attack houses. We have
not issued any orders for murdering anybody but we are inciting
revolution. Inciting revolution and establishing popular rev-
olution everywhere in the world is one of our aims [word's indis-
tinct].
We will never abandon the uniting of the Arab nation, and the
We will not abandon the struggle for the liberation of Palestine.
The raids will never make us abandon this whatever they might
be. ~
We will" not abandon the incitation for the popular revolution
,whatever raids they carry out and we will not stop the incitation:
In fact we incite revolution, and we insist on revolution. ,~
It"appears that the sound at the beginning was not clear. I repeat.
I said calm people's nerves with .this patriotic song, this enthusi- ,
asm. ~ When the Americans attack Libyan territory, we will
oppose them; we will chant slogans, and burning fire will start
beneath their feet and on their bodies. I said we have plenty of
goods which are stocked like mountains; we will fight them with .
1 million fighters, and millions others are ready to fight on our,
'side. But now they are [words indistinct] like you launching raids,
long aircraft from beyond the sea. I told about the raid in which
33 aircraft were used against my house. It was aimed at hitting
Al-Qadhdhafi. When they failed they had to do something.. I
think [words indistinct] I told them 33 aircraft shelled my house
' 33 aircraft. They were escorted by 100 escort aircraft. Thirty
aircraft were refuelling them, 33 aircraft took part in the real
attack on the house and the tent. [Word indistinct], whatever God
wants will happen. Therefore, I said switch the lights on, play
songs, dances, let music bands play in the streets while the lights
are switched on, and let them raid us.Thirty-three aircraft raided
my house, what happened? If they raid us while we are in our
fields, welcome. I salute every martyr on this soil, may God grant
him peace. If we have made the revolutiom[word indistinct] it is
not based on killing, any operation which took place in the past
or will take place, it is an individual operation. The' one who
carried it out is the only one responsible for it. But the revolution
is happening and we are responsible for it. We incited the
revolution in Sudan and we did not say that we are not responsible
to America or anyone else. The pendage [Numayri]fell and the
revolution took place in Sudan.
We are still continuing to incite the revolutionary unity, the
liberation of Palestine and on strongly standing with peoples who
are fighting for freedom. This is our case:
Whether the raids increase or not, whether they become crazy or
not, we will never retreat. In front of the world now,'the murder-
ers are Thatcher and Reagan, the murderers of children~'If there
are human and living forces, then the government of Thatcher
should collapse and she should be put on trial as a murderer of
children, and Reagan's administration should also collapse and
in addition to this he should be~put on trial as a murderer of
children, because they are the ones who issued the orders to
murder the children in front of the whole world.
We have struck at the south of Italy, on the island of Lampedusa,
and we destroyed the telecommunications stations of the U.S. 6th
Fleet. I mean that we struck at Italian territory, in southern Italy,
the island. At that time I was still escalating military operations
in the south of Europe, and I also wanted to announce an
exclusion zone in the Mediterranean region and to stop aviation
and shipping, but I received a Flood of appeals from the heads of

Further Response to U.S. Strike Against Libya
Act Termed `Barbarous Aggression'
LD161703 Algiers Domestic Service in Arabic
l 200 GMT 16 Apr 86
NORTH AFRICA
[Station commentary]
[Text] Scores of innocent civilians in fraternal Libya have been
cut down by bombs from U.S. aircraft on the pretext of the fight
against terrorism and the defense of U.S. interests. Scores of
children, women, and old people have been cut down by the
annihilation machine on the orders of Reagan who then stood up
a few brief hours after the abominable crime to declare before
the whole world that he did what he had to do, that he would do
it again if necessary as an example to all those who are tempted
to harm American interests.
Television screens have carried pictures and the radios and news
agencies have reported the frightful sights of the bodies of
innocent victims amid the debris of buildings and residential
blocks. The ruler of the U.S. White House had mobilized the
most sophisticated means of devastation and the latest products
of the American arsenal for this strike.
Various information media throughout the world have reported
the wave of denunciation and condemnation of this barbarous
aggression and the extent of the Reagan administration's dis-
regard of international laws, ethics, and usage. Washington and
the regimes and governments in collusion with the Reagan
administration have been warned of the untold consequences of
the policy of might and violence pursued against the Jama-
hiriyah, which, as the Algerian Foreign Ministry affirmed the
day before yesterday, can only lead to the escalation of tension
in the Mediterranean and will threaten peace and stability in the
region. In this context, Algeria announced its rejection of the
international confusion between the legitimate struggle of the
peoples and terrorism. Algeria affirmed that under no circum-
stances will it accept any encouragement of any action perpe-
trated against innocent peoples.
In short, no country or power in the world, however important,
has the right to appoint itself responsible for the maintenance of
peace and security in the world, and use the pretext of the tight
against terrorism as an excuse for aggression against the peoples
and on independent countries which are members of the United
Nations.
The events seen by the Arab region over past months prove that
the barbarous aggression committed against the fraternal Libyan
people yesterday was not accidental or an isolated event; it was
a link in the chain of the imperialist-Zionist comprehensive
strategy directed against the entire Arab nation.
In the first week of January, Reagan announced the adoption of
a number of economic ~ measures directed against the Libyan
Jamahiriyah and ordered U.S. citizens to leave Libyan territory.
He also asked his Western allies to impose an economic embargo
on Libya. This was followed by a series of provocations and
actions in the form of military maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra
which culminated in March in U.S. aggression against the Lib-
yan Jamahiriyah.
The same U.S. forces that are stationed in the eastern and
southern Mediterranean helped and supported the Zionist forces
when they launched their treacherous aggression on the head-
quarters of the PLO in Tunisia.
All the arguments and excuses put forward by Washington and
Tel Aviv to launch their attacks and to commit their criminal
aggression against the Arab peoples are similar to each other.
In fact, the criminal action committed by Washington proves
beyond all doubt that the United States which claims to be the
protector of Western civilization and,the freedom of the individ-
ual and human rights has become, by its unethical practices
against the peoples of the Third World, the champion of interna-
tional terrorism which it has practiced in the recent past in
various parts of the world: Vietnam, Grenada, and elsewhere.
It is now practicing it in Africa, Asia, and in Latin America
against all the peoples who refuse to succumb to U.S. hegemony.
The Washington masters were horrified to see a small people,
with strong faith, who are anxious to preserve their independence
and sovereignty, stand up against the United States -the great
power feared by all. These Washington statesmen have forgotten
or have pretended to forget that the will of the peoples cannot be
outed and that the Libyan people are not alone. They are
supported by all the peace- freedom- and justice-loving peoples
of the world, foremost among them the Algerian people.
`Complete Arab Silence' Reported
LD161831 Algiers Domestic Service in Arabic
1200 GMT l6 Apr 86
[Unattributed commentary]
[Text] A wide scale campaign of denunciation of the flagrant U.S.
criminal aggression committed and being committed by the
United States against the Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah has been
growing throughout the world particularly by the peace-loving
and freedom-loving peoples, and the progressive forces opposed
to hegemony and despotism. This comes amid complete Arab
silence as though the violation and mutilation of Arab dignity
taking place in this fraternal country is of no concern to the Arabs
and Muslims. We have not seen in the Arab and Islamic world
anything that we can call a principled stance toward the policy
of arrogance and disregard for the Arab people which is pursued
by the U.S. Administration and its allies. This is particularly true
during the current hard times through which the Arab world is
passing and which demand that all forces understand their roles
and move from the stage of denunciation and condemnation to a
stage of replying by all possible means to the aggressors. This is
because the criminal U.S. agression against the Jamahiriyah is
in fact an aggression against the entire Arab and Islamic nation
and a flaunting of them.

foreign states and friendly states asking me not to carry out this
escalation. All the European countries, including Malta, played
a very important mediatory role, and all the friendly European
countries, especially those on the south Mediterranean [as heard],
asked me to stop this escalation because that would destroy our
interests, and this is what America wants. What Reagan wants
is to destroy the interests of the Arabs and the Europeans. They
said: That man is crazy and let him [words indistinct].
In fact, because of this I decided not to escalate military oper-
ations insouthern Europe, but we are able to do it at any moment.
I averted the Mediterranean from the state of war, the war
against the [word indistinct] civilian and military [words indis-
tinct]. They asked me to [word indistinct] these planes, goods,
(?cargo), and people. I received letters from heads of friendly and
neutral states. They asked me not to take this escalating step. In
appreciation of the international situation, and in appreciation of
the stands of Italy, France, Spain, and Greece, these friendly
countries, and also Malta, I decided not to include the Mediterra-
nean region in the exclusion zone and not to escalate military
operations in southern Europe. But Italy and Spain will have to
stop the U.S. 6th Fleet from now on, from any presence in their
ports and from launching raids from these ports, otherwise we
will be forced to escalate the operations in self-defense:~But this
time, as a result of that Tripoli [word indistinct] Italian in
southern Italy, but Italy contacted us and its stance is good. In
fact, all the Europeans say that he [Reagan] is a madman and do
not punish us for what he [words indistinct].
The foreigners in Libya are free. Those who want to leave can
leave, and those who want to stay can stay in peace. We need
them and they need us. They should not listen to the propaganda
of the insignificant and the insane. They are trading in this
propaganda.
They said Reagan has increased the guards around his children.
But we say to him it is not our nature to launch a war against
children. Let him remove the guards from around his children
and let them walk in the streets as normal, because we are not
murderers of children. We are not cowards who murder the
children and the helpless. He is helpless. He is an old man [words
indistinct]. Whether his children are young or old, they are
innocent and have nothing to do with the matter.
If he has killed our children he believes that we are going to deal
with him on a reciprocal basis, to sink to his level; and the words
[words indistinct] that he had said. I am still looking for a trivial
actor like him to answer him, because I am Mu`ammar Buminyar
al-Qadhdhafi, the Arab, and my morale, my civilization, and the
values of my nation do not permit me to sink to the level of a
trivial actor called Reagan who came yesterday and will be going

sion, so that we may know where strength lies. Strength lies in
unity.
Therefore, Libyan radio must .call on the Arab nation for an i
immediate unity. Every state, if unity [word indistinct] must
agree to unity. I expect that the Sudanese people will impose
unity. Today, great, very great demonstrations were staged in
Sudan and they called for severing everything with America,

.Naturally, I am not calling for the killing of innocents, the
embassies [as heard], and the people living in our countries; I am

The Arabs are required to cut off relations with America, eco-
nomic and political relations. I mean the Arab masses must put
pressure for a boycott of America, its goods, and everything
because it is a state that has gone beyond the limits and killed
our children.
The Arab masses, demonstrations- this is what Brother Haydar

of combating colonialism and imperialism and the cause of

from the river to the sea and from north to south. The raids will
not abolish these historic choices [words indistinct].
Even, if America drops atom bombs on us we are ready. We are
ready to die [words indistinct]. God is greater than America and
greater than (? its might). This is a great thing. A small nation
like Libya finds itself in opposition to the NATO alliance, Great
Britain, the United States, the fleets, warships. The American
military ask him: Give us more aircraft carriers so that they
can attack Libya. The Americans are tired; They have aerial
umbrellas over the aircraft carriers; they look as if they are
engaged in a third world war against the Soviet Union and
Warsaw Pact. They announce that the warplanes have taken off
from Ohio state and from Britain and that France forced them
to fly 4,000 km because they were not allowed to fly over France.
We must appreciate this French stand. France banned the over-
flight and compelled him to travel 4,000 km and they were
refulled a number of times.
Generally, we are not one of those countries which turns the lights
out. We light our streets and we sing and go about our business.
If they attack us while we are at home we are ready. We are ready

rod of the coward is long, as I told you. They are fighting us now
from overseas by launching raids with long-range aircraft.
I have explained to you the raid by 33 aircraft against my house.
I explained that its purpose was to hit AI-Qadhdhafi; they failed.
Imagine, they used 33 aircraft to bomb my home. These aircraft
were protected by 100 fighter planes, according to what they have
said, and 30 planes were used to refuel them. The number of
aircraft that carried out the actual attack on the house and the
tent was 33. They achieved nothing and were driven away. What
did they accomplish? Whatever God wants will happen.
For this reason I say: Turn on the lights, play songs, and dance.
I call on the song and music band to go out into the streets. [f
they want to raid us, let them raid us in the streets and squares.
Didn't they raid my home with 33 aircraft? What happened? If
they raid us in our squares, they are welcome. We hail every
martyr who dies on his land.
If there is any living force in America, it should bring down the
Reagan government. He must be put on trial as a war criminal
and murderer of children, because Reagan has issued orders to
his armed forces to kill our children. We have not issued orders
to murder anybody. Those who carried out operations in Europe
are unknown. Perhaps U.S. intelligence, or a Palestinian, or
someone else carried out these operations. But, Reagan
arrogantly and inhumanely announces to the world that he gave
orders to murder the children of AI-Qadhdhafi and to murder
the children of the Libyans. Therefore, he is now proven guilty
of issuing orders to regular forces to murder children and attack
homes. We have not issued orders to murder anybody. We are
inciting revolution, and we are instigating revolution and the
establishment of popular revolution everywhere in the world.
Raids will never end this.
We will never abandon efforts to unite the Arab nation; the raids
will not make us abandon this call, which concerns only us and
does not concern the Americans or anybody else in the world.
We will not abandon the struggle for the liberation of Palestine.
The raids will never make us abandon this struggle whatever they
might be.
We will stop not inciting popular revolution whatever raids they
carry out; we will not stop. We are responsible for the revolution,
and they cannot make us abandon it. We are not responsible for
the murders. Any operation that took place in the past or will
take place is an individual operation, and the one who carries it
out is the only one responsible. But, when revolution happens, we
are responsible. We incited the revolution in Sudan, and we did
not evade this responsibility in the eyes of America and the rest
of the world. The appendage [Numayri] fell off and the revolution
took place in Sudan.
We are continuing to urge revolution and unity, and the liber-
ation of Palestine; we stand firmly with people who are fighting
for freedom. This is our cause.
Whether the raids increase or not, we will not retreat. We will
not retreat in the face of raids. [n the eyes of the world, Thatcher
and Reagan are the ones who murdered the children. If there are

human, living forces, they should bring down Thatcher's govern-
ment and she should be put on trial as a murderer of children.
Likewise, Reagan's administration should be brought down and
he should be put on trial as a murderer of children, because they
are the ones who murdered the children in front of the whole
world.
We have struck at the south of Italy, on the island of Lampedusa.
We destroyed the telecommunications stations of the U.S. 6th
Fleet. We struck at Italian territory, in southern Italy. I was
determined to escalate military operations in southern Europe,
and I wanted to declare war [as heard] in the Mediterranean and
to stop aviation and shipping. However, I have received a flood
of appeals from the heads of foreign states and friendly states
asking me not to carry out this escalation. All the European
countries, particularly Malta, which played an active role, and
all the friendly European countries, particularly those bordering
the south Mediterranean [as heard], have asked and appealed to
me not to escalate the situation, because this would destroy their
interests and our interests -and this is what America wants.
What Reagan wants is to destroy the interests of the Arabs and
the Europeans. They said: That man is crazy and he will go.
In fact, because of this, I decided not to escalate military oper-
ations in southern Europe, though we are able to do that at any
moment. In so doing, I have spared the Mediterranean region a
state of war and a ban on civilian and military ships and planes
passing through it. They asked me and said that they carry goods,
passengers, and people. I received many letters from heads of
friendly and nonaligned states. They appealed to me not to
escalate the situation: In appreciation of this, and in appreciation
of the stands of Italy, France, Spain, and Greece, these friendly
countries, together with Malta, I decided not to include the
Mediterranean region in the exclusion zone and not to escalate
military operations in southern Europe. But from now on Italy
and Spain will have to stop'allowing the U.S. 6th Fleet to stay in
their ports and to launch raids from these ports. Otherwise, we
will be forced to escalate the operations inself-defense. Although
we hit an Italian island in southern Italy, Italy is our friend and
its stand has been good. In fact, they always tell us that this is a
madman. God, do not punish us for what the foolish among us do.
The foreigners in Libya are free. Those who want to leave for
their countries can leave. Those who want to stay can stay in
peace. We need them and they need us. They should not listen to
the propaganda of the insignificant and the criminal who use
them.
They said that Reagan has increased the guard around his
children. But we say that it is not in our nature to kill children.
He should remove the guard from around his children and let
them walk in the streets freely, because we are not murderers of
children. We are not cowards who murder children and the
helpless. He is a helpless old man. Whether his children are young
or old, they are innocent and have nothing to do with the matter.
Since he has killed our children, he thinks that we are going to
deal with him in a similar way, and sink to his level. As for the
filthy words he used, I can find a trivial actor like him to respond,
because I am Mu`ammar Buminyar al-Qadhdhafi, the Arab, and
my ethics, my civilization, and the values of my nation do not
NORTH AFRICA
permit me to sink to the level of a trivial actor like Reagan, who
came yesterday and will be going tomorrow.
I believe that, if dynamic forces exist, he and Thatcher will fall,
because they killed children.
I want the radio to call for Arab unity; yes, a call for Arab unity,
because, in reality, this is a power struggle between two nations
- the American nation, which is strong, and the Arab nation,
which is dismembered. We might become like America and
possess aircraft carriers and all this force, but with unity.
Therefore, this is, in reality, a historic occasion offered to us by
this blatant aggression so that we may know where strength lies.
Strength lies in unity.
Therefore, the Libyan radio must call on the Arab nation for
immediate unity. Every state must be ready for unity and ready
to endorse unity. I expect that the Sudanese people will establish
unity. Today, very large demonstrations were staged in Sudan
calling for breaking off with America, until the prime minister
addressed the demonstrators and calmed them down. He told
them: We are with our brothers in Libya [words indistinct] the
American Embassy.
Of course, I do not call for the killing of innocent children, the
embassies, and the people present. [sentence as heard] I am
calling for revolution, and he who stands in the way of the
revolution must be annihilated. Reagan should remove the guard
around his children and family for we are not murderers of
children like he is. We are responsible for the revolution and we
incite revolution, and no one can deflect us from this course.
The Arabs must break off economic and political relations with
America. This means that the Arab masses must exert pressure
for a boycott of America, its goods, and everything, because it is
a state that has exceeded its limits by killing our children.
Brother Haydar al-`Attas telephoned me to report on demonstra-
tions by Arab masses in Aden today. He told me that the
demonstrators were singing a song, which I have forgotten. Libya
is a brilliant thing. The masses wrote the song and then sang it
during the demonstrations. lalso heard today about the demon-
strations and clashes which have taken place in Tunisia. The
demonstrators were calling for a boycott of America. This exem-
plifies one Arab people from the ocean to the gulf. They are all
against America and with us. We are now undeniably leading the
Arab masses. The scope and results of the raid were a ghastly
thing. At the same time, however, this raid was an honor.
Imagine, a Libyan citizen - and I am one of you - a simple
person, being the target of such a huge American raid designed
to kill a person called so and so among the Libyans and Arabs.
By God, this is a glory for you.
Despite all the prevailing circumstances, Arab presidents and
kings are in daily contact with me. Not a single day passes
without them contacting me several times. Without asking, they
have called for the convening of an extraordinary Arab summit,
which could be held in a day or two, to stand with you, with the
Libyan people, against this flagrant aggression. The African
presidents have said that volunteers are at my disposal. Rev-
olutionary African presidents have formed political groupings.

They have said that you wage the military battle and we will wage
the political battle on your behalf. The Arab presidents -
President Chadli Bendjedid, President Hafiz al-Asad, President
Haydar al-`Alfas -have been in touch with each other without
me having requested this from them. They have affirmed that
they will assume responsibility for the political aspect. I think
that Arab states with political [as heard] capabilities will partici-
pate with us in the battle we are waging, and this is something
great.
However, the Arab masses will have to exert pressure for the
establishment of unity. Actually, without unity our fate is in real
danger. Arab unity must be established immediately. After the
results of the elections in Sudan become known, and after the
new regime is formed, unity between Sudan and Libya should be
established immediately. This is desired by the Sudanese people.
Unity should be established between Libya and Algeria. This is
desired and has been decided by the Algerian people in the
Algerian National Charter. Unity actually exists between Syria
and Libya; it only needs a political declaration.
Our brothers in Morocco [are joined with Libya by]the Oujdah
Treaty, which is the Arab-African Union. Moroccan people
everywhere are with you, of course. Morocco does not possess
aircraft carriers, but it does possess men who are ready. Moroc-
can blood is not more precious than Libyan blood. This is indeed
a great thing. Contacts are continuing daily. They are getting in
touch with each other, all for our sake. They contact us every
day. The moment I hang up the telephone, I receive another call.
It has become apan-Arab operations room.
Switch on all the lights. The fervor on the radio must be used to
call for unity, the need to establish unity, and the need to boycott
the enemies.
We declare to America and to the entire world our responsibility
for the revolution, for fighting imperialism and colonialism, for
the cause of freedom and the unification of our nation, and for
the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea and from the
north to the south. Raids cannot end these historic choices.
Even if America drops atom bombs on us, we are ready to die on
our land. There is no power on earth that can stand against the
power of God. God is gerater than America and greater than
NATO. This is a momentous thing. A small state like Libya finds
itself suddenly opposing NATO, Great Britain, the United States
of America, the fleets, and warships. The American military ask
him [Reagan]: Give us more aircraft carriers if you want us to
attack Libya. The Americans are tired. They have air umbrellas
over the aircraft carriers. They look as if they are engaged in a
third world war against the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact.
They announce that the warplanes have taken off from the state
of Ohio and from Britain, and that France has forced them to fly
4,000 km. We must appreciate the stand taken by France. France
banned overflights and compelled planes to travel 4,000 km and
be refueled several times.
Yes, we are asking that lights be switched on and that people
dance in the streets, sing, and go about their business. If they
attack us while we are in our homes, then we are ready to fight
and are ready to die. How often it has been shown that a small
group has overcome a large group with God's help. God supports
those who are patient. Go forward, and the struggle will continue.
BBC Correspondent on Effect of Speech

(From the " 24 Hours" program]
[Text] First, we deal with the situation in Libya where Colonel
al-Qadhdhafl has made his first public appearance since Amer-
ican air attacks 2 days ago. His appearance on television has
ended speculation about his own personal safety following the
bomb attack on his home which killed his adopted daughter and
injured two of his sons. Yesterday, there was also speculation that
a coup attempt against Col al-Qadhdhafl was under way with
reports on gun fire and unexplained disturbances in Tripoli, but
the Libyans have firmly denied this. To find out whether the
Libyan leader's television address has defused any of the tension
inside Libya, Mann Price spoke a short time ago to one of the
BBC's correspondents in Tripoli, David Willie.
[Begin recording] [Willie] Well, it had the curious and absolutely
immediate effect of causing some demonstrations in the street
outside our hotel of young men who were dancing and carrying
lights and calling for the lights to be put on, because in his speech
the colonel said: We are not one of those countries which turn
off their lights,.we light our streets and we sing and go about our
business, and this is what they were trying to show was the correct
attitude now, they realized that there was to be no further
retaliations by the colonel in a military sense and, therefore, the
risks of a general conflict, perhaps, has diminished.
[Price] So, there wasn't any indication in the colonel's speech that
the conflict might actually escalate, that there might more
Libyan retaliation;
[Willie] Well, he did say that there had been a sort of peace
initiative. He didn't reveal the identity of the country or countries
which took part in this, but he did say that he had been consid-
eringsetting up azone ofexclusion inthe Mediterranean Sea but
that for the moment, providing that the Americans were not
allowed to carry out warlike activities from Italy and Spain, he
will not do this. In other words, he suggests that behind the
rhetoric, there is a note of caution.
[Price] Now, yesterday there were reports of gun fire in and
around Tripoli, have there been any more incidents like that
during the night?
[Willie] There was a very heavy artillery barrage just after
nightfall. It seemed to be concentrated north of the harbor. I
heard quite heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns blazing away. I can
only presume that there was another air alert, that the radar
picked up some American aircraft. We have received no official
report as to actually what happened.
[Price] Meanwhile, the Americans are saying that while Col
al-Qadhdhafi's television appearance proves that he has survived
the bombing, it doesn't prove that he is stilt fully in charge of the
