((TEXT)) ((AL-QADHDHAFI))_ BY ALL THE PARTIES, FRONTS,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND DETACHMENTS STRUGGLING FOR THE UNITY AND FREEDOM
OF THE ARAB NATION IN THE ARAB HOMELAND.
((QUESTION)) THE ARAB-AFRICAN UNION HAS TAKEN (?MANY) STEPS
IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL FIELD AND HAS SET UP BODIES. WE WOULD LIKE
TO LOOK TO THE NEAR FUTURE AND ASK YOU TO TELL US HOW YOU SEE
THE ECONOMIC INTEGRATION BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES OF THE
ARAB-AFRICAN UNION PARTICULARLY IN THE PRODUCTION SECTOR, A
MATTER WHICH WILL STOP BOTH MOROCCO AND THE JAMAHIRIYAH RELYING
ON THEIR REQUIREMENTS BEING MET FROM ABROAD.
((AL-QADHDHAFL COOPERATION IS OUTSIDE THE SUBJECT OF THE
PAN-ARAB COMMAND OF THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES BUT NEVER MIND I
WILL ANSWER IT. I HAVE GREAT HOPES THAT THIS UNION WILL PAVE THE
WAY FOR A UNION WHICH WILL EMBRACE THE ENTIRE ARAB NATION. THIS
UNION HAS REMOVED A BIG OBSTACLE. WE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS
POSSIBLE FOR ARAB REGIMES WHICH ARE DISSIMILAR TO UNITE. THIS
WAS POSSIBLE. THE GREAT POTENTIALS OF BOTH MOROCCO AND LIBYA
WHICH WILL BE UTILIZED WITHIN THIS UNIONIST FRAMEWORK WILL ENABLE
BOTH COUNTRIES, GOD WILLING, TO MAKE A CONSIDERABLE LEAP ALONG
THE PATH OF PROGRESS AND RATIONALIZE THEIR RESOURCES WHEN THIS
UTILIZATION TAKES PLACE WITHIN THE UNIONIST FRAMEWORK BETWEEN THE
TWO COUNTRIES. THE IMPORTANT BASIS OF THE UNIONIST ACTION,
PARTICULARLY IN THE ECONOMIC ASPECT, WILL BE LAID DOWN AT THE
ANTICIPATED MEETING OF THE PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL OF THE UNION.
((QUESTION)) IN THE VERSION TRANSMITTED BY JANA, IT APPEARS
THAT IN YOUR SPEECH AT THE FINAL MEETING OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND
OF THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES YOU, THE BROTHER LEADER, CALLED ON
THE ARAB NATION TO FORM SUICIDE UNITS AND ALSO CALLED ON THE ARAB
NATION TO TRANSFORM ITSELF INTO SUICIDE DETACHMENTS. IS THIS
CORRECT?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) IT LOOKS AS IF THERE IS SOME CONTRADICTION
BETWEEN THE ARABIC VERSION AND THE TRANSLATION. MY CALL WAS THAT
THE ARAB NATION'S STRUGGLE INSIDE THE ARAB HOMELAND IS LEGITIMATE
FOR THE LIBERATION AND UNITY OF THE AAB NATION.
((QUESTION)) ((WORDS INDISTINCT)) SIWAR AL-DHAHAB, IS IT NOT
PREMATURE TO CALL WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN SUDAN A POPULAR REVOLUTION,
ESPECIALLY SINCE WE KNOW THAT SIWAR AL-DHAHAB FOLLOWS THE SAME LINE
AS THAT PURSUED BY NUMAYRI?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) ON THE CONTRARY: WHAT ENABLED SIWAR
AL-DHAHAB TO ATTAIN POWER IS THE POPULAR REVOLUTION. ((SENTENCE
INDISTINCT)) (?NUMAYRI) CARRIED OUT A MILITARY COUP D'ETAT AGAINST A
REGIME WHICH WAS CONSIDERED A LIBERAL REGIME, AND ESTABLISHED
MILITARY AUTHORITY OVER (?HIS PEOPLE). AS FOR THE MOVEMENT BY SIWAR
AL-DHAHAB IT IS THE OPPOSITE -- IT HAS OVERTHROWN A MILITARY
FASCIST REGIME TO ESTABLISH A POPULAR AUTHORITY.
((QUESTION)) DID YOU LOOK FAVORABLY ON THE MEETING IN BAMAKO
BETWEEN GOUKOUNI OUEDDEI AND HISSEIN HABRE AND DID YOU ADVISE
GOUKOUNI OUEDDEI TO GO TO BAMAKO TO MEET HISSEIN HABRE?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) THE MEETING DID NOT TAKE PLACE AT ALL. THE
PRESIDENT OF MALI MADE A LAUGHING STOCK OF HABRE. WE SUPPORT PEACE
AND UNITY IN CHAD. WE SUPPORT SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CHAD BY

PEACEFUL MEANS.
((QUESTION)) ((WORDS INDISTINCT)) EXCUSE ME, I DO NOT BELIEVE
THAT I GOT AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WHICH I ASKED EARLIER. I
WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT SAME QUESTION AGAIN IF I MAY. DURING THE
COURSE OF YOUR OPENING REMARKS YOU SUGGESTED ((INTERRUPTED)) I MAY
HAVE BEEN ((WORD INDISTINCT)) WITH MY QUESTION PERHAPS I
SHOULD ASK IT AGAIN. SINCE I DID NOT ASK IT CORRECTLY -- PERHAPS
I ASKED IT INCORRECTLY. I BELIEVE, LEADER, THAT YOU WERE SAYING
THAT THE NATIONAL COMMAND WOULD DEAL WITH COUNTRIES THAT INTERFERE
IN THE ARAB NATION IN THEIR OWN HOMELAND. AND I ((WORD INDISTINCT))
BY WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT AND I WOULD LIKE YOU ((INTERRUPTED AGAIN))
ARE YOU TALKING, LEADER, ABOUT EXPORTING FORCE TO THOSE NATIONS THAT
YOU BELIEVE ((WORD INDISTINCT)) THE ARAB NATION?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) I BELIEVE THAT THE EXPLANATION I GAVE AT THE
BEGINNING IS SUFFICIENT.
((QUESTION)) BROTHER LEADER, THE EGYPTIAN REGIME, IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE DECLARATION OF THE POPULAR REVOLUTION IN SUDAN AND THE
DOWNFALL OF THE LACKEY NUMAYRI, BEGAN TO MAKE EMPTY STATEMENTS AND
DECLARE THAT IT HAS SOME RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW SITUATION IN THE
SUDAN, ALTHOUGH WE KNOW THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE SUDAN IS A
POPULAR REVOLUTION WAGED BY THE MASSES ((INTERRUPTED)) ALSO THE
HEAD OF THE EGYPTIAN REGIME ANNOUNCED WHAT HE TERMED AS THE THREAT
OF THE JAMAHIRIYAH AND COL AL-QADHDHAFI PERSONALLY, ALTHOUGH HE --
THE AGENT HUSNI MUBARAK -- WILL NOT ALLOW INTERFERENCE IN SUDAN'S
INTERNAL AFFAIRS, AND THE SECURITY OF SUDAN IS LINKED TO THE SECURITY
OF EGYPT. WHAT IS YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THIS?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) HUSNI MUBARAK IS CO NTINUING ALONG THE SAME WRONG
PATH PURSUED EARLIER BY SADAT AND FARUQ: TO LOOK DOWN ON THE
SUDANESE AND REGARD THEM AS BELONGING TO THE EGYPTIANS -- SLAVES FOR
THE EGYPTIANS, AS IF KHARTOUM IS A CAPITAL CITY OF A
GOVERNORATE WHICH IS ATTACHED TO CAIRO. THIS IS WHAT MADE THE
SUDANESE PEOPLE REBEL. IT SUFFICES THAT THE STATEMENTS MADE BY
HUSNI MUBARAK WERE ANSWERED BY THE SUDANESE PEOPLE THEMSELVES
THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY WHEN ANGRY DEMONSTRATIONS MARCHED IN THE
STREETS OF KHARTOUM AND OTHER SUDANESE TOWNS SHOUTING: HUSNI MUBARAK
IS A TRAITORI DOWN WITH AMERICAI THE DEMONSTRATIONS INSULTED HIM
JUST AS THEY INSULTED AMERICA AND NUMAYRI. THIS MEANS THAT THE
SUDANESE PEOPLE REGARD HUSNI MUBARAK A TRAITOR AND RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE TRAGEDIES SUFFERED BY THE SUDANESE PEOPLE OWING TO THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SUDANESE AND THE LACKEY EGYPTIAN REGIME.
THIS IS NOT AGAINST THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE OF AGAINST THE UNITY BETWEEN
EGYPT AND SUDAN.
