((TEXT)) ((A-QADHDHAEI CONTINUES)) I WAS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO
SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITY BETWEEN EGYPT AND SUDAN UNTIL
NOW. WE ARE WITH EGYPT AND WE SUPPORT IT. BUT WHEN THE EGYPTIAN
REGIME BETRAYS, IT IS ILLOGICAL THAT SUDAN SHOULD FOLLOW IT,
EVEN IF THERE IS A TRADITIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EGYPT AND THE
SUDAN. WHEN EGYPT BETRAYS AND GOES OVER TO THE ENEMY AND ENTERS
THE STABLE, STABLE DAVID, THE SUDANESE PEOPLE ARE NOT OBLIGED TO
BETRAY AND ENTER THE STABLE BY VIRTUE OF THIS RELATIONSHIP.
THE SUDANESE PEOPLE WILL NOT PUT AN END TO THIS CONDESCENSION TOWARD
SUDAN. HUSNI MUBARAK'S STATEMENTS CONSTITUTE A CRUDE INTERFERENCE
IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF THE SUDANESE PEOPLE. HE IS PROVING
THAT HE IS INSINCERE AND THAT HE CANNOT BE RELIED UPON. YESTERDAY
HE WAS AN ALLY OF NUMAYRI AND USED TO LIE TO NUMAYRI, TELLING HIM:
I WILL NOT ABANDON YOU AND EGYPT'S CAPABILITIES ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
HERE HE ((NUMAYRI -- FBIS)) IS IN EGYPT. WHY DOES HE NOT PLACE
EGYPT'S CAPABILITIES AT THE DISPOSAL OF NUMAYRI. HE
((MUBARAK -- FBIS)) HAS BEGUN TO FLIRT WITH SIWAR AL-DHAHAB.
SIWAR AL-DHAHAB KNOWS THAT HUSNI MUBARAK, WHILE DOING SO,
WILL NOT STAND BY HIM IF SOMEONE TOPPLES SIWAR AL-DHAHAB. THIS
RECENT STATEMENT HAS REVEALED THE TRUE EGYPTIAN ATTITUDE TOWARD
SUDAN. AT ANY RATE, THIS CONDESCENSION TOWARD SUDAN BY
EGYPT -- THE ATTITUDE OF A MASTER TO HIS SLAVE -- SHOULD SHAME THE
EGYPTIAN RULERS. SUDAN IS AN INDEPENDENT ARAB STATE WHICH HAS
EQUAL OR EVEN GREATER RESOURCES THAN EGYPT. SIWAR AL-DHAHAB,
DID NOT CONSULT HUSNI MUBARAK UPON ASSUMING POWER. HE DID NOT
CONSULT REAGAN. WHEN THE SUDANESE PEOPLE STAGED THE REVOLUTION THEY
DID NOT CONSULT MUBARAK; THEY DID NOT ASK HIM FOR HELP. IN FACT,
THEY WERE AGAINST MUBARAK, NUMAYRI, AND AMERICA. THE SLOGANS
VOICED RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND UNTIL NOW SAID SO.
SIWAR AL-DHAHAB IS RESPONSIBLE TO THE SUDANESE PEOPLE AND THE
ARAB NATION. HE ESTABLISHES RELATIONS WITH WHOEVER HE WANTS
ACCORDING TO WHAT THE SUDANESE PEOPLE DICTATE, AND NOT ACCORDING
TO WHAT HUSNI MUBARAK DICTATES FROM THE VANQUISHED CAPITAL
((CAIRO -- FBIS)).
((QUESTION)) MAY I INTRODUCE MYSELF. I AM HANS ((NAME
INDISTINCT)) FROM ((WORD INDISTINCT)) NEWS AGENCY. MY QUESTION IS:
DO YOU THINK THE NATIONAL COMMAND WILL INFLUENCE THE FUTURE
POLITICAL ROLE OF THE PLO AND THE PEACE PROCESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
((A-QADHDHAFI)) THE COMMAND LOOKS AT THE ARAB INTERNATIONAL
SITUATION AS A WHOLE FROM THE OCEAN TO THE GULF; IT EXAMINES
QUESTIONS OF LIBERATION AND UNITY, INCLUDING THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE.
THE ZIONIST ENEMY IS THE ENEMY OF THE ARAB NATION AS A WHOLE
AND NOT AN ENEMY OF THE PALESTINIANS ALONE.
THIS ENEMY WANTS TO OCCUPY THE ENTIRE ARAB HOMELAND AND NOT ONLY
PALESTINE. HE WANTS TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE ARAB PRESENCE AND NOT
JUST THE PALESTINIAN OR THE LEBANESE PRESENCE.
((QUESTION)) ARE THERE ANY MOROCCAN ORGANIZATIONS IN THE
PAN-ARAB COMMAND? IS THE POLISARIO ORGANIZATION IN THIS COMMAND?
DOES COLONEL AL-QADHDHAFI BELIEVE THAT THIS ((PASSAGE INDISTINCT))
((A-QADHDHAFI)) IN THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND THERE ARE NO MOROCCAN
DETACHMENTS. MOROCCO HAS (?GONE BEYOND) THIS STAGE. WHAT THE

OTHER DETACHMENTS SEEK TO ACHIEVE HAS BEEN REALIZED BY THE MOROCCAN
REGIME: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ARAB UNITY. THE POLISARIO IS NOT A
MEMBER OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND. AS FOR THE KIDNAPPING OF INNOCENT
HOSTAGES AND CIVILIANS, I AM AGAINST IT. WHY DOES THE WORLD -- AND
PARTICULARLY AMERICA -- NOT CONDEMN THE BARBARIC ACTS BY THE ISRAELIS
AGAINST CIVILIANS, HOUSES, CHILDRENAND WOMEN? ((INTERPRETER HERE
ADDS "IN PALESTINE" BUT AL-QADHDHAFI SAYS TO HIM: "NO IN SOUTHERN
LEBANON.")) IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT THE UNITED STATES SHOULD USE
THE VETO TO SUPPORT THE ISRAELIS IN COMMITTING THESE MASSACRES
AGAINST CIVILIANS.
((QUESTION)) THE AFRICAN CONTINENT IS WITNESSING SEVERAL DANGEROUS
PROBLEMS, SOME OF WHICH ARE THE RESULT OF DROUGHT AND FAMINE, AND
OTHERS ARE DUE TO BACKWARD AND REACTIONARY MINDS, COLONIALISM,
EXPLOITATION, OPPRESSION, RACISM, AND DISCRIMINATION. THE OAU
HAS SO FAR NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISCHARGE ALL ITS TASKS. YOUR
EXCELLENCY THE LEADER, HOW CAN THIS ORGANIZATION BE CONVINCED TO
WORK FOR THE GOOD OF AFRICA AND THE AFRICANS. THANK YOU.
((A-QADHDHAFI)) ((PASSAGE INDISTINCT)) THIS IS A SYMBOLIC
ORGANIZATION FOR ONE CONTINENT.
((QUESTION)) HOW DOES THE NEW PAN-ARAB COMMAND OF THE
REVOLUTIONARY FORCES INVISAGE JOINT ARAB ACTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN,
PARTICULARLY ((PASSAGE INDISTINCT)). THERE IS FIRST THE EEC AND
ITS INFLUENCE ON MOROCCO -- ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY -- BECAUSE
MOROCCO IS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE ARAB-AFRICAN UNION, AND THERE
ARE VARIOUS ATTITUDES TOWARD THE OCCUPATION OF CEUTA AND MELILLA,
AS WELL AS THE STRUGGLE IN LEBANON AND THE QUESTION OF THE
WESTERN SAHARA, ETC. WHAT ARE THE VIEWS OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND?
((ALQADHDHAFI)) IN ACTUAL FACT THERE ARE OUTSIDE INFLUENCES WHICH
MAY NEGATIVELY EFFECT THE JOINT ARAB UNIONIST ACTION. FOR THIS
PURPOSE WE HAVE TO SPEED UP THE UNITY OF THE ARAB NATION BECAUSE
ARAB UNITY HAS LAGGED BEHIND UNTIL MAJOR INTERNATIONAL ((WORD
INDISTINCT)) FORCES HAVE EMERGED. THESE FORCES HAVE ATTRACTED THOSE
ARAB COUNTRIES WHICH CARRY NO WEIGHT. THESE FORCES ARE THE EEC,
AND THE ALLIANCES WHICH EXIST AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, AND MAJOR
POWERS. THE ARAB COUNTRIES NOW RESEMBLE IRON FILINGS, AND THE
MAJOR POWERS, THE EEC, NATO, THE WARSAW PACT, THE SOVIET UNION,
THE UNITED STATES, ETC., RESEMBLE MAGNETS. THE FILINGS ARE
ATTRACTED BY THE MAGNET. THE ARAB NATION SHOULD QUICKLY BE
TRANSFORMED INTO A MAGNET SO THAT IT CANNOT BE ATTRACTED BY OTHERS.
THIS IS WHAT HAS SPEEDED UP THE ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITY BETWEEN
MOROCCO AND LIBYA, AND THE SUBMISSION OF THE IDEA OF IMMEDIATELY
ESTABLISHING A UNION BETWEEN LIBYA, SYRIA, ADEN, AND ALGERIA TO
COMPLEMENT THE ARAB-AFRICAN UNION. WHEN THESE REGIMES ARE INCAPABLE
OF DOING THIS THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND OF, THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES
SHOULDERS THE RESPONSIBILITY ((SENTENCE NOT COMPLETED)). ((PASSAGE
INDISTINCT)) THE MASES WHICH HAVE FORMED THESE REVOLUTIONARY
DETACHMENTS AND SET UP THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND HAVE SEEN THAT THE
REGIMES ARE INCAPABLE OF CARRYING OUT THIS HISTORIC TASK, HENCE THE
BIRTH OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND OF THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES WAS
INEVITABLE AND NATURAL; TIMELY. THANKS.
((QUESTION)) BROTHER LEADER OF THE FATEH REVOLUTION, OBSERVERS
BELIEVE THAT THE JAMAHIRIYAH, BY DECLARING ITS READINESS TO PLAY

HOST TO THE JOINT CONFERENCE OF THE ARAB AND AFRICAN FOREIGN
MINISTERS, WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR THIS MONTH, HAS FOILED A
FLAGRANT CONSPIRACY WHICH BASICALLY AIMED AT UDNERMINING THE
OUJDA UNIONIST AGREEMENT AND ARAB-AFRICAN SOLIDARITY BY CREATING
ADDITIONAL OBSTACLES. THE QUESTION, LEADER, IS: IS THERE ANY HOPE
OF CONVENING THIS CONFERENCE SOON IN LIGHT OF CURRENT CONTACTS?
((AL-QADHDHAFI)) LIBYA HAS APOLOGIZED FOR NOT HOSTING THIS
CONFERENCE AS A RESULT OF THE EXISTENCE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THIS
IS ALL I KNOW.
