[Statement by Libyan Leader Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi
at Tripoli International Airport upon his arrival from Ethiopia
on 14 September - recorded]
[Text] The thing I would like to draw attention to, is the positive-
ness of the foreign policy of the Jamahiriyah and its role in
supporting the liberation struggle. From Zimbabwe, which bor-
ders South Africa, to Tripoli, I travelled through all these coun-
tries' airspaces, whose peoples and governments are friendly with
the people of the Jamahiriyah and who are in a state of alliance
with it. Only recently were we not, however, able to fly through
these airspaces, and in reality I intentionally flew through these
airspaces to confirm that the great blockade, particularly in
Africa, - which they thought they had managed to encircle the
Jamahiriyah - has collapsed thanks to the Jamahiriyah's joint
struggle with the people of this continent.
Zimbabwe is an ally of ours. The soldiers and the guards we saw
at the nonaligned conference know the presence of the Libyans
and have been trained in Libya. Thousands of fighters who are
soldiers, policemen, and cadres in the new state, Zimbabwe, had
their training in Libya during the period of the struggle. They
express gratitude and acknowledge the favor of the people of the
Jamahiriyah, who trained them and enabled them to liberate
their country, which was called North Rhodesia and has become
now Zimbabwe. Harare got her name from Arabic. It used to be
called Salisbury in the English.
I thank God for I have seen the fruit of the Libyans' work in these
far lands. We have won over a people who were colonized and
now are independent and have become our ally and are prepared
to fight on our side. All of them admit that thousands of fighters
were trained in Libya, and that they fought until they gained
freedom.
We have crossed the airspaces of Zambia, Mozambique,
Burundi, and Tanzania, all of which are friendly air spaces and
welcome us. Tanzania presently has a Muslim president; namely
Brother Ali Hassan. The Muslims were deprived jin the past].
Tanzania presently has good relations with Libya and its leader.
The Muslims express satisfaction over their conditions.
Then I came to Uganda, from which the colonialists and their
hirelings believe that they had expelled Libya, and had occupied
its place. I was determined to visit Uganda to affirm to the
Libyans and to the world that this post has been recovered.
Regardless of the sacrifices and the battles won and lost, after a
number of years passed, we finally came out the victors in
Uganda. We defeated our enemies the racists such as Obote, the
fascists such as Obote, the fascists and the agents of colonialism
hostile to the revolutionary policy and to the Jamahiriyah. Thou.
sands of Ugandan fighters welcomed me in Uganda. They were
trained in Libya. They are the fighters who entered Kampala and
liberated it from the enemies of the Jamabiriyah, enemies of the
Ugandan people, at the top of whom is our friend Museveni, who
was in Libya. We used to meet with him and struggle together
to liberate Uganda, to recover this position; it has been recovered.

Now Uganda is-asemi-jamahiriyah, its.system is revolutionary-
popular; people's congresses and people's committees have been
established in every village, and the formation of revolutionary
committees has begun. All of this needs time to emerge and be
firmly established. A new jamahiriyah, in fact, has started to be
formed in East Africa - i.e. Uganda - which at one time was
a hostile post to us and in which we fought. They thought they
had won the battle; however, in the end it was we who have won
the long struggle in Uganda.
All those countries are rich; they are not poor and do not need
charity but need joint programs between them and the people of
the Great Jamahiriyah so the Libyan Arab people and those
countries would benefit. They are countries very rich with all the
materials needed by Libya, and which it is importing from
countries very far away, sometimes from colonial markets. These
materials are abundant and only need to be exploited in Sudan,
Uganda, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Burundi, and Zambia.
I went to Sudan because it is one of the places where I purposely
stopped to stress to Libyans that this place has been liberated and
regained. I was welcomed by brother officials and the people in
,Sudan with pleasure and great appreciation for the Libyan Arab
people, which stood by them; with Al-Ansar, the unionist demo-
crats and other revolutionary forces against Numayri. This
means that they are grateful to Libyans and Libya which stood
against Numayri, the mortal enemy of this people. Every day he
is sworn at [and called] the tail, dictator, fascist who cut off their
limbs and who brought to them an innovation called the Islamic
shari'ah, of which Islam is innocent [as heard]. In fact I saw many
Sudanese in front of mosques, one with severed hands, another
with severed legs, not counting those both of whose legs and
hands, or only hand or leg. [as heard]
To implement Islamic ahari'ah; why? Because he stole. He must
have been hungry. The whole of Africa has been suffering from
drought and famine in the past few years. How can we cut off his
hand when he is hungry? This is no Islam. Regrettably, there is
a grudge against the Islamic shari'ah. Regrettably, in the whole
of Africa - the model created by Numayri in Sudan - regret-
tably, by God, they are all digusted by that which is called the
Islamic shari'ah and the rules of the Islamic shari'ah, because
Sudan has a voice in the African countires which surround it. I
heard of cutting off limbs; they asked, why? The answer was this
is the Islamic shari'ah. All these people expressed their indig-
nation, and the first among these people were those of southern
Sudan, which took up arms to defend themselves so Numayri
would not cut off their hands and feet in the name of the Islamic
shari'ah.
The current revolution in the Sudan was caused by Numayri's
policy, particularly after he announced that this was the Islamic
shari'ah.
This policy, which was formulated by Numayri, dons not repre-
sent Islam and Islam is innocent of it. [as heard] Our brothers in
Sudan expressed their gratitude to their brothers in Libya who
stead by them against Numayri, with their radio stations and
capabilities. [words indistinct] If we had done that, our people in
Sudan would not have [words indistinct)
The Sudanese -people. now .recognize the Libyan Arab people's
good turn, because it opened up its radio stations for it, spoke on
its behalf, gave shelter to Al-Ansar, the unionists and rev-
olutionary forces; gave them all shelter, and addressed a call to
the people and the Army to forge an alliance on 6 April and
prevent Numayri from returning. Indeed, the call was obeyed,
and even members of the former Transitional Military Council
conveyed to me their greetings, thanks, and gratitude to the
Libyan Arab people.
Now there is a popular regime - we do not say revolutionary
regime - in Sudan that is raising the banner of democracy and
declaring that it will change to the people's authority. These
parties are not parties in the conventional sense but popular and
mass movements. This means that these slogans are not on a
revolutionary basis but on popular basis. [as heard) This is
precisely their interpretation of these parties, and, consequently,
they believe that these parties will disappear with [the advent of]
people's authority in the future.
They are naturally concerned about the southern rebellion led by
Garang. He was our friend and ally and we trained and armed
him - us and Ethiopia - against Numayri and U.S. bases which
were to be established in Sudan. By the 6 April Revolution, the
Sudanese people overtook the U.S. before transforming it to an
American base. [as heard) Now there is no U.S. presence in
Sudan and there is no presence of the enemies of the Libyan and
Sudanese people; even the presence of Egypt, because of its link
to the Israeli enemy, it is hated and is on its last breath.
The Nile Valley parliament, which was created by the tail
Numayri and his masters in Cairo, was abolished; companies
were abolished and the so-called integration was suspended and
later abolished after Al-Sadiq al-Mabdi's appointment to the
premiership. This means that Egyptian presence is devoid of
truth officially and in the street, because it is an ugly face linked
to the Zionist enemy. Naturally, hatred of it increased as did
swearing against Husni Mubarak everywhere and at all times
after his meeting with Peres. They considered this a provocation
against the Sudanese people, and an insolent challenge to the
Sudanese people because it was (?tarnishing) Egyptian-Sudanese
ties. He wants the Sudanese people to be with him and at the
same time, hosts the enemy of the Arab nation, Peres, under
Israeli shelling, when the Israeli air force was bombing Palestin
ian camps for the 3 days running of his meeting. The Alexandria
meeting took place under the shadow of the Israeli bombing of
camps. In fact, it was a big insult to the Arab nation and its
sentiments, and an unparalleled submission to the Zionist enemy
by rulers of Egypt.
It is obvious that this meeting is futile because there will not be
a compromise like the Ifrane meeting in Morocco. The enemy
will not name concessions, but asks us to compromise and submit
to him in the manner of the meeting between Hassan II and
Peres. He did not get anything, but they asked him to continue
and compromise. This meeting also took place under blatant
threat. then Peres announced that he [Mubarak] must have a
meeting with him immediately, otherwise he would not meet him.
Peres said that he was going to the United States and would be
busy when he returns and would not have time to meet him. This
forced Egyptian officials to announce after midnight through

media that there were no problems between Egypt and Israel.
Later they announced that the meeting with Peres would take
place the day after in Alexandria. They repeated this through
their radio stations and under U.S. pressure. The leader stressed
in his statement that this constituted an unparalleled Egyptian
submission. He explained that this in fact increased the Sudanese
people's and official's wrath; they hate this agent and call him
sullied. [Words indistinct] this is another position that has also
been regained, praise be to God. Otherwise, we would not have
been able to fly in Sudanese and Ugandan airspace. These
airspaces have now become allies and they have all come to
recognize that the Libyan Arab people made a substantial con-
tribution to the liberation of these peoples and to saving them
from colonialism, which was trying to swallow them.
Yesterday I was in Ethiopia. It is another ally country and we
have a joint defense agreement with it. Last night when I was
with them they expressed their gratitude because from Bab
al-Mandib, from Yemen and Aden to Ethiopia and Sudan and
to Libya, from the Arabian Sea to the Mediterranean, all these
have become forces allied with each other.
In fact colonialism was pinning hopes on Sudan in breaking this
axis and this bridge, which links Aden with Addis Ababa and
Tripoli in a single chain of allied liberated peoples, stressing that
foreign powers - the United States and the reaction - were
pinning hopes on Sudan to destroy this chain.
I thank God that these posts have been liberated and Tripoli has
now been linked to Khartoum to Addis Ababa and to Aden, and
this represents a great victory. The brothers in Sudan were
disturbed by the escalation of the rebellion in southern Sudan.
Therefore it was necessary to find out the real situation in view
of the fact that Ethiopia is the base for John Garang and his
fighters. I have conveyed the viewpoint of the brothers in Khar-
toum, who love Sudan and consider Garang a Sudanese citizen,
and that there is no justification for carrying arms after the
downfall of the lackey Numayri. They used to support Garang
when he was fighting the lackey, and among them are brothers
in power in Khartoum. They are fully prepared to solve all
problems democratically.
An understanding has been reached in this respect with Mengistu
and I believe that in the coming days we will see developments
in this regard that will emphasize democracy and revolutionary
[character] in Sudan and to end this war.
He is trying to restore relations to a better state between Sudan
and Ethiopia. Libya has a big role to play in building this bridge
so long as Sudan and Uganda have been liberated. We should
not allow any friction between Ethiopia, which is in a rev-
olutionary position, and the new liberated Sudan.
We have to throw our weight in this respect. We felt that certain
posts were hostile to us and were placed against us and now they
have been recovered and have been liberated. We feel great
satisfaction because our struggle has at last yielded its fruits.

[Excerpt] The Great Jamahiriyah has entered the era of produc-
ing oil from the off-shore fields [al-huqul al-bahriyah] after the
main drilling and production platform has been erected at Al-
Buri oil field, situated at Al-Bahriyah locality 25 kilometers
northwest of Tripoli. The platform, the structure of which is
being erected, is considered to be the second largest drilling and
production platform in Europe and the Middle East, and the
largest platform in the Mediterranean Sea. The development of
this field and preparing it for production will be done in two
stages; the first includes the construction of another platform for
drilling and production, in addition to the platform currently
being build. The second includes the construction of 3 secondary
platforms for production; thus by the end of the development of
Al-Buri field there will be 5 platforms for production.
Production and exporting operations from it are expected to
begin at the end of 1987, this being the date set for the completion
of all production units, treatment, housing (igamah], storing, and
shipment. The maximum level of production per day, after the
completion of the first stage, will be 150,000 barrel per day.
