((TEXT)) IBRAHIM NAFI': WHAT ABOUT ETHIOPIA AND SUDAN?
COL. AL-QADHDHAFI: ACCORDING TO THE GREEN BOOK, NATIONALITIES
FINALLY TRIUMPH. ANY COUNTRY WITH VARIOUS NATIONALITIES WILL BE
TORN APART. THIS IS THE AGE OF THE MASSES. THE GREEN BOOK'S
PREDICTIONS, WHICH HAVE COME TRUE IN THE SOVIET UNION,.WILL CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE SO-CALLED ETHIOPIA IS LIKE CHAD. IT IS
NOT ONE NATION. IT IS MADE UP OF VARIOUS NATIONALITIES. NOW, IT IS
BEING TORN APART BY NATIONAL STRIFE. YOU KNOW THAT THE MAP OF THE
WORLD WILL BE FINALLY DRAWN BY NATIONAL STRIFE. THERE ARE DIFFERENT
PEOPLES IN ETHIOPIA. THERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CARRIED OUT THE
REVOLUTION, THERE ARE THE ERITREAN PEOPLE, THERE ARE THE PEOPLE OF
OGADEN, AND SO ON. IN SOMALIA, THE PROBLEM IS THAT OF POWER
STRUGGLE. THIS IS THE AGE OF THE MASSES, AND THE MASSES ARE CAPABLE
OF WRESTING POWER. THEY DO NOT LIKE TO BE RULED BY ONE PARTY OR BY
AN ARMY OR A PARLIAMENT. THEY DO NOT EVEN LIKE TO BE RULED BY THE
PROLETARIAT. THROUGH SUCH CONFLICTS, THE PARTIES THAT HAVE

INTERESTS IN IT CAN MAKE THEIR INFILTRATIONS. SOMETHING SIMILAR TO
THE CHAD CONFLICT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE AFRICAN HORN, BECAUSE IT IS
A-STRATEGIC AREA. HOWEVER, WHAT IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ALL THAT IS
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SOUTHERN SUDAN. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ACCEPT
THE ALLEGATION THAT THIS PART IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ARAB LAND. WE
SAY SUDAN IS AN ARAB AFRICAN STATE, BUT WE DO NOT SAY IT IS AN
ISLAMIC STATE. IT IS AN ISLAMIC-CHRISTIAN-ATHEIST STATE. WE DO NOT
SAY ITS LANGUAGE IS ARABIC, BUT ITS LANGUAGE IS ARABIC, ENGLISH, AND
LOCAL DIALECTS. THEREFORE, GARANG'S CALL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
"REVOLUTIONARY SUDAN"--OR A REVOLUTIONARY STATE THAT IS NEITHER ARAB
NOR ISLAMIC--IS DENOUNCED. HOWEVER, IF THIS DESIGN SUCCEEDS IN
SUDAN, IT WILL INSTANTLY AFFECT OTHER ARAB STATES. THUS, THEY WILL
HAVE TO RECONSIDER THEIR IDENTITY. HOWEVER, OUR ARAB EXISTENCE FROM
THE GULF TO THE ((PACIFIC)) OCEAN IS BASED ON RACE AND FATEFUL
AFFILIATION. ARABISM, WHICH RUNS THROUGH THE VEINS OF EVERY MAN IN
THIS AREA, HAS MADE HIM AN ARAB IN TERMS OF AFFILIATION AND DESTINY.
IN ADDITION, THE RACIAL UNITY CONSTITUTES THE BACKBONE.. IT IS VERY
STRANGE THAT ALL THIS IS BEING RECONSIDERED. DEFINITELY IF THEY
SUCCEED IN SUDAN, THEY WILL MOVE TO EGYPT. IF THEY SUCCEED IN
EGYPT, THEY WILL MOVE TO SYRIA. THEN, THEY WILL MOVE TO IRAQ AND
THE ARAB MAGHREB. WHEN IDENTITY BECOMES BASED ON BEING AN ARAB,
MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN, OR MARONITE, THE ENTIRE ARAB ENTITY WOULD
COLLAPSE. THEREFORE, THERE MUST BE A SERIOUS STAND ALONGSIDE SUDAN.
SUCH A STAND, FOR EGYPT, IS CONSIDERED SELF-DEFENSE. WHEN THE
AFRICANS TRY TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE AND FORM A NEW GROUP IN SOUTH
SUDAN, THIS WOULD CONSTITUTE AN INFLUENCE AREA FOR A BIG POWER. IT
IS MORE ADEQUATE FOR THEM TO REMAIN WITHIN A UNIFIED SUDAN. I MEAN
THE ISSUE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH SERIOUSLY--BY MEANS OF PEACE OF WAR--
BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS.
