The brother colonel scoffed at the reactionary information media in Tunisia and Egypt.
He said that the mercenary information media have been saying things which are very
far from the truth. He said: They live in one age and we live in another. They live
in the age of police rule and dictatorial governments, while we live in an age of
the masses and the rule of the masses, who freely express their will.
The trustee of Arab nationalism added: The Egyptian and Tunisian governments, by
attacking the 1 September revolution and its command, are doing themselves a big
disservice. In this connection, Al- adhdhafi said: The more they talk against us,
the more the masses will cling to the revolution, become vigilant and defy them.
He added: I consider this march the best reply to the enemies of the revolution, be
they the Americans, the Tunisian and Egyptian Governments, or their lackeys. This
popular march silences the Voice of America which used to be the voice of the Arabs, as
well as the Middle East Radio and the radio of the Tunisian Government which has lost
its reason. This march clots the blood in their veins, that is if they have any blood
in their veins. The march of the masses of Misrata is the best reply to the enemies
of the revolution, the enemies of the masses and unity.
It is futile to take a hostile stand toward the resolution. Those who try to challenge
the revolution are playing with fire and are dancing at the brink of an abyss into
which they will fall.
In conclusion, the trustee of Arab nationalism affirmed to the masses: Together with
you, your revolution will continue to march forward and strongly defy the enemies. The
Libyan Arab people will be the vanguard of the Arab nation. The traitors, the
reactionaries and the Imperialists will see what end will befall them.

[Excerpt] Before leaving [the Algeria-Lib
ya-Niger summit], Colonel al-Qadhdhafi spoke
to national and international Journalists in reply to a question about the imperialist
attack on the region. He said: "It is in the nature of reactionary regimes to ally
themselves with imperialism. The Arab region witnessed imperialist attacks in the
past, but patriotic and unionist forces frustrated them and thus proved their ability
to do so because they represented the interests of the masses."

He added: "I believe the current. attempts by the reactionaries are hopeless and the
time has passed when imperialism can achieve its objectives in this region, because
the people are too vigilant. For our part, we in the Libyan Arab Republic have
declared our attitude regarding the settlement of accounts with internal and external
reactionaries. We regard forces hostile to the patriotic front, whether inside or
outside the Arab homeland, as standing in the same rank as imperialism.
In reply to a question on the importance of this meeting and its effect on the develop-
ment of Arab-African relations, President al-Qadhdhafi said: "As an effective force in
this region we should turn our attention to our friends and neighbors. We have a duty
toward such countries as Niger and Chad. We are capable of broadening the circle of
cooperation to embrace all the peoples of Africa. This meeting has taken place
within this framework."
Replying to a question from the LE MONDE correspondent about Libyan recognition of the
Saharan Democratic Arab Republic, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said: "As far as Libya is
concerned, our attitude toward this question is clear. We had the honor of having been
among the first to support the liberation war in the Sahara against occupation. Our
attitude at present toward revolutionary peoples need no further underlining."

masses are able to understand and to remain steadfast. He added: Your march from
Al-tUjaylat,.(Sirnan), Ohiryan, Nalut and Az-Zawiyan and all areas demonstrates the
insistence of the masses on revolutionary cohesion with Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi.

[Excerpts] Sabha, April 10,-A R1A--Major 'Abd as-Salam Ahmad Jallud, member of the
Revolution Command Council and prime minister has emphasised that the masses in Sabha
had moved to assert their adherence to the revolution and they were one of the popular
sectors which inspired us with the spirit of revolution.
Major Jallud spoke of the rabid campaign launched by puppet horns in Egypt and Tunisia
and asserted that this campaign is not aimed at Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi, chairman
of the Revolution Command Council but. it is aimed against the Libyan Arab people and at
striking the great first of September revolution, its masses and principles and against
the Arab nation, because Colonel al-Qadhdhafi represents the aspirations of this nation
in its unity, building up its strength, liberation of Palestine and in confronting
Americans liquidating the Palestinian issue.

Major Jallud announced that the movement of free unitary officers which launched the
revolution is strong and capable of confronting all enemies of the revolution.
He stressed that those who imagine they can put an end to the great first of September
revolution are having fantasies and are ignorant of the simplest concepts and principles
of the revolution.
They are contradicting themselves because the great first of September revolution is
the revolution of life and we are representing the forces of life which are invincible.
