AL-QADHDHAFI ADDRESSES CROWD AT RCC BUILDING
Tripoli Domestic Service in Arabic 1730 GMT 12 Apr 76 JN
[Excerpts] Masses of the free Lubyan Arab people marched in a tumultuous popular
procession from (Iznaytim) to the Revolution Command Council building in Tripoli
today. The masses carried placards supporting the Great 1 September Revolution and its
march on the road toward freedom, socialism and unity, stressing their cohesion with
the revolution and with its leader, Brother Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi.
In accordance with the wishes of the masses, the leader of the revolution delivered
a speech in which he stressed that the Libyan Arab Republic categorically rejects
As-Sadat's call to intervene in the domestic affairs of Lebanon through the use of
any other forces. The Libyan Arab Republic also refuses to see the heroic Lebanese
Army hand over its arms so that it would be without arms in the face of the rightist
forces.
The brother colonel said that we have stood with the national forces in Lebanon. We
declare our readiness now to stand with them, above all with the Arab Army of
Lebanon. He said that the Libyan Arab Republic is ready to support the Arab Army of
Lebanon and the national forces in Lebanon in order to settle the struggle in favor
of the Lebanese people.
The brother colonel said that the Sinai agreement was an act of treason such as
King 'Abdallah and King Faruq had not committed. The brother colonel explained that
the scores of placards raised by the masses of (Iznaytim) today and the strong and
resounding slogans issued from faithful hearts and this tumultuous procession were
a sufficient answer.
He said: While the jealous around you, the agents of imperialism in Tunisia and
Egypt, are resorting to cheap Methods, our free people are replying to them every
day with processions composed of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
He said: We are ready to challenge the agent reactionary regimes in Tunisia and Egypt
in every field. We challenge them because we are strong in every field.
The brother colonel explained that the Tunisian regime does not have any reason for
its existence. As for the Egyptian regime, it has become overburdened with shame
to the degree that it has lost the ability to move. Every year and every month it
carries a new badge of shame.

The brother colonel said. The indication of the foolishness of the Tunisian and
Egyptian regimes and their imminent end are that they are attacking a strong revolution
which is rallying the masses of the Arab nation from the ocean.-to the gulf. This
revolution is capable of pulling the carpet from beneath their feet at any time. He
stressed: They have failed to find any real and convincing pretext to level against you.
Thus, they have resorted to strange and ridiculous methods. They found a deserter soldier
and put him on Tunisian radio to ask him and to hear from him talk which is devoid of
truth. If anything else, this indicates the bankruptcy of the pretexts of the Tunisian
regime. As for the Egyptian regime, when we mention it we remember the shame which has
befallen the Arab nation as a result of the behavior of this regime, which has isolated
Egypt and which has lost all support at home and abroad.
The leader of the revolution said that when this regime failed to direct any real
attack that would convince you, it found~a spy and put him in the At-Tahirah Palace.
It gave him hashish and asked him to reveal any secrets or any pretexts against this
strong bastion, the Libyan Arab Republic.
The brother leader explained that the caravan is marching despite the barking of the
dogs. He said that we have resolved to accept the challenge and to expose these regimes.
We are determined not to lay down our arms until the revolutionary program which will
transfer the Libyan people from the state of backwardness to the state of progress is
achieved.
