"... In the capital of Libya, Tripoli, all sheikhs of the tribes living in the country were gathered. It is important for the Libyan leadership that NATO, wich is acting on the side of" insurgents ", would realize that it does not deal with only Colonel Qaddafi, but with the whole nation.
There were tribal leaders even from the rebellious Benghazi. Under the present political system it is perhaps the most broadly representative of the Libyan people which are still existing by feudal traditions in the tribal framework.
To know if all of them are present - you can check the published lists. It was difficult for the tribes to develop a common program of action. The resolution of the meeting is: Libya must be unified, the intra-national dialogue is internal dialoge between the families and foreigners should not interfere in it.
The head of the Libyan Government Al Baghdadi tried to encourage the rebel leaders, who proclaimed their own government in Benghazi, to think again." I appeal to my former colleagues in the government, which are now included in the so-called transitional council.
I call them: enough of blood. Mistakes have been done, but we did it together, it means we must share the responsibility," - said the Secretary of the General People's Committee of Libya Al-Baghdadi Al Mahmoudi.
But the Western television channels simply ignored the meeting of tribal sheikhs, and if there was no news about it, this does not seem to happen. Otherwise, NATO would have to admit that Colonel Qaddafi is still has lots of supporters, and the Libyan tribes stand against foreign interference in the conflict. European and American media took the side of rebels also and are engaged in the war along with NATO aircraft. For example, they were broadcasting about the fighting in Tripoli and the army going to the insurgents side, but there was nothing like that happening in the capital.
The Libyan leader is almost not shown on the public, hiding in bunkers: undeclared hunt is going on his head. Local residents are now on a duty at night in the government quarter of Bab al-Aziz. They believe that NATO pilots would not dare to bomb civilians.
The duty as a human shield in the area where are many government agencies have turned for the residents of Tripoli in a kind of nighttime fun. With all of the optimism of these people they are trying not to think about the bad. They are coming here even with children.
Insurgent propaganda says that the regime is simply concealing itself by civilians. But we have not noticed the compulsion, and the inhabitants of Tripoli sincerely believe that they rescue their leadership. For the first time the regime was faced with the need of counterpropaganda, and the Libyan authorities are learning how to work with journalists.
They take journalists on the places of battles and bombings orderly, you can make a video of only what is allowed: it's hard to break a strong tradition. In the central square of a small town Az-Zauiya, near Tripoli are traces of the fighting that took place here in late February. The house of one women now has no wall. She said that it is from the "rebels" learning how to shoot. Among the rebels were a lot of those, who were referred to the Islamists even in Muslim Libya .
About the racism and brutality among the rebels, Europe and America know almost nothing. The winner of the war will be the one whom the Western television channels will call the winner.
Official Tripoli is losing the information war yet........"
