TRIPOLI VOICE OF ARAB HOMELAND 020200 XXX TRAINED ARMY. ((PASSAGE
OMITTED))
((EXCERPTS)) IN 1911, THE FASCIST ITALIAN GOVERNMENT THOUGHT
THAT IT COULD ANNEX LIBYA TO ITALY WITHIN 20 HOLRS OF THE ARRIVAL
OF ITALY'S REGULAR TRADITIONARY ARMY IN LIBYA. BL'T THE 20
HOURS BECAME 20 YEARS OF FIERCE RESISTANCE, AND ITALY'S
TRAi)ITIQNAL REGULAR ARMY COULD NOT OCCUPY EVEN ONE INCH OF
LAND IN 1911. IT STOOD INACTIVE UFF OF LIBYA'S SHORES UNABLE
TO MOVE A STEP FORWARD. WHY? BECAUSE IT FACED AN ENTIRE
RESISTING PEOPLE, IN 1911, EVERY CITIZEN FELT THAT THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFENSE FELL ON HIM AND THAT IT WAS HIS
RIGHT TO BECOME A MARTYR IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TFE ENEMY.,
((PASSAGE OMITTED)) THE ITALIAN ARMY ONLY SUCCEEDED IN ENTERING
LIBYAN TERRITORY AFTER EXPLOITING THE TRIBAL LEADERS, SHAYKHS,
AND TRADITIONAL LEADERS, GRANTING THEM TITLES AND WAGES;
THROUGH THEM, THE ITALIAN ARMY SUCCEEDED IN MOBILIZING LIBYANS
TO FIGHT LIBYANS, ((PASSAGE OMITTED))
ANYONE WHO CARRIES OUT AGGRESSION AGAINST LIBYAN TERRITORY
MUST NOT EXPECT TO SEE A REGULAR ARMY FIGHTING'hIN WITH BATTALIONS
AND DIVISIONS WHICH ARE LIKELY TO BE DISTRUP.TED OR DESTROYED
BY MODERN WEAPONS, THE AGGRESSOR MUST RECKAN WITH AN ENTIRE
PEOPLE CARRYING ARMS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AND TkEIR SOIL.
((APPLAUSE AND CHANTS))
DURING ITS FORTHCOMING SESSION' THE GENERAL PEGPL'S CONGRESS
WILL ALSO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY QF INCREASING THE LAR~S
PRODUCTION CAPABLITIES, BUT HOW WILL THIS BE ACHIEVED? IT
WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A FREE DEMOCRATIC DISCLSSION By
ALL Oh THE BASIC POPULAR CONGRESSES AND THE POPULAR COMMITTEES
AND THEN BY THE GENERAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. ((PASSAGE OMITTED))
THERE ARE BETWEEN 30,000 AND 40,000 LIBYANS EMPLOYED IF;L'NPRODUCTIVE
WORK, IN PURELY CONSUMER WORK. THESE MUST BE DIVERTED TO
PRODUCTION. ((PASSAGE OMITTED?)
BROTHERS, TO THOSE WHO CHALLENGE THE LIBYAN PEOPlLIE AND WHO
CHALLENGE THE REVOLUTION IN THE LAR, AND WHO IN ALL FOOLISHNESS
AND NAIVITY ATTEMPT TO GIVE NAIVE SUPERFICIAL NAMES TO THE
PEOPLE, THE REVOLUTION, OR THE REGIME, WE WISH TO GIVE THEM
