In case anyone still understand something in French foreign policy toward the Arab world, the favorite son of Muammar Gaddafi, Saif al Islam, has torpedoed the last little credit and Nicolas Sarkozy the region. "It was we who financed his election campaign. The first thing you should do this buffoon [Sarkozy] is returning the money," has claimed the stem of the Libyan leader. The Elysee has denied it immediately, but an army of collaborators began instantly to scrutinize the accounts of campaign donations of ambiguous origin.
In an exclusive interview with Euronews, Saif al Islam has proved threatening. Asked about Sarkozy's attitude during the civil conflict of Libya, has claimed: "Sarkozy has to repay the money he accepted from Libya to finance his campaign. It was we who financed his election campaign, we have proof. We are ready to reveal it. The we ask for this buffoon is returning the money to the Libyan people. We grant aid to act on behalf of the Libyan people, but we were disappointed. We have all the details, disclose soon. "
Instead of turning a blind eye, the Elysee Palace has denied hastily told Agence France Presse. is something that gives an idea of \u200b\u200bthe level at which the call is France's Arab policy, which once was his pride.
The denial has not stopped a stream of nervous crossing the minds of that group, shrinking, faithful to the president. First, because the statement of Saif al Islam has brought back to French sites the lavish state visit of Nicolas Sarkozy, newly elected in 2007, Gadhafi gave a Paris decorated for the occasion.
In recent days, Sarkozy had been trying to hide those excess pro-Gaddafi to another excess. For a week, became the most bellicose and anti-Western leader Qaddafi, along with London, and the only to give full diplomatic recognition to the rebellion in Libya.
A nod to the 'banlieue'
Another element of the declaration of Saif al Islam Sarkozy is annoying to the specific choice of the term "clown", which hit hard in a section of French public opinion. Because just shop around the poor neighborhoods of France, the so-called banlieue, to realize that among the citizenry is widespread nickname "fool" to qualify Sarkozy. Moreover, Saif al Islam, certainly very good advice, use intonation and volume typical of French youth in the banlieue.
A final concern Sarkozy team. Ten days ago, the French customs caught at an airport in Paris to broker arms contracts Takkiedine Ziad, a man linked to previous election campaigns of Sarkozy, whose name is mentioned in the dossiers of an attack in Karachi in 2002 that killed 11 French engineers. Ten days ago, returned from Libya Takkiedine and a half million euros in cash.
's statement Seif al Islam puts the person back on the table, and requires Sarkozy's colleagues to look very closely at every financial contributions to his 2007 presidential campaign.
Exclusive Interview with Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi.
What measures taken against the insurgents?
Saif al Islam
First of all you have to say that we are fleeing. Le I know that there are crowds trying to get to the border with Egypt. Both the Army and the citizens have said, allow a safe corridor for these traitors and their militias. Those who have had contacts with the United States, the United Kingdom and France, and those who have requested the return of U.S. and British forces and intervention. These individuals are the first who are fleeing with their families to Egypt. We do not want to kill, we do not want revenge. Flee traitors, you are mercenaries who have committed crimes against the people of Libya. Euronews
The UN is considering imposing a no-fly zone. Do you think? Saif
Islam
military operations are over. Within 48 hours all over. Our forces are almost in Benghazi. Whatever the decision, it's too late. Euronews
France has been the premier country that has recognized the National Transitional Council. You think about this and what is your opinion of President Sarkozy?
Saif al Islam
First, Sarkozy to Libya should return the money it took to finance his campaign. We were the ones that fund his campaign, have all the details and are ready to reveal them. So the first thing I ask this clown is returning the money to the Libyans. Because we gave such support to act on behalf of the Libyan people. But we have disappointed Sarkozy. Give us back the money. We have all the details, bank accounts, documents and movements of the transfers. I tell you all very soon.
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi: "The clown Sarkozy must return the money he gave to his campaign."
Muammar Gaddafi's regime will soon be over claims that its offensive against the rebels. Euronews has interviewed his son, Saif al-Islam, who confirms that within 48 hours his offensive is over and ensures that the rebels are not opposed to the regime, but terrorists. In addition, is disappointed with Nikolas Sarkozy, since according to him, his father lent him money for his presidential campaign.
Muasses Riad, euronews:
Before these events, you are presented as the new face of a Libyan reformer. Currently, what are your plans for reform to those who have risen up and spoken out against the current regime?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"What has been seen for two weeks are not demonstrations, but armed militias that kill people, scare them and hang them. You have seen them in Al Bayda, executing police officers or in Darna, where they hanged people from bridges, or in Misrata, when they burned a man alive in front of everyone in the square.
These people do not believe in dialogue, or human rights or democracy. They are criminals, and luckily, they themselves taking pictures and recorded videos of what they do for dissemination. Currently, the Libyan people has risen to defend their land and their country. Each day, the Libyan army releases a new city and the people take to the streets happy to celebrate the victories. All the Libyan people is united against the militias and terrorists. Even in the army there are many people who have volunteered for combat.
political reforms, we will carry out when we recover the peace and calm in our country. We already wanted to make these reforms and adopt a new constitution, with greater freedoms, but now is the time of the fight against terrorism to liberate our country. " Riad
Muasses, euronews:
But you're convinced that Libya needs major reforms.
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"Yes. On that we agree, but now, if you talk to an ordinary citizen, he will tell you about safety. People do not talk now of building projects or infrastructure because the Libyans have seen the terror suffered at the hands of militias. So our people have asked us to regain peace and security. That's the priority. The reforms will come when the situation stabilizes in one or two weeks or a month. This is the time of the birth of a new Libya, with new laws and a new constitution. Now we see the birth of modern Libya.
euronews:
How can confirm the presence in Libya's Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
The presence of Al Qaeda was limited to the cities of Zawiya, Darna and Al Bayda, but we have seen the emergence of certain armed groups of murderers and criminals who are organized into armed militias, which have recruited youths. We have seen on television as they were drinking alcohol, listening to loud music and drugs. There are two types: the criminal militias and extremist Islamist organizations, and in both cases they are enemies of the Libyans. "
euronews:
So people have not taken to the streets to demonstrate against the regime, but it's militias and Islamists.
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
most important thing is what is happening in Benghazi, in the city of Benghazi. Over the next days we will show what the truth and show pictures.
First, some businessmen have called on the Arab labor in Libya to take to the streets and squares. Most people who have said they are Egyptians and Palestinians who are unemployed, out of work.
addition, there may be people in Benghazi which is against Gaddafi, may even be thousands of people who are against Gaddafi in Benghazi, but there are a million and half people.
There are thousands of people in Libya who do not believe in God and not believe in Muammar Qaddafi. Our former foreign minister is part of this group of atheists and does not hide his atheism. It would be illogical say that the entire Libyan people, 100%, is with Muammar Gaddafi.
euronews:
So this is not contamination of the wave of unrest that comes from Tunisia and Egypt?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"It's not a question of contamination. It is a kind of fashion, similar to what happened in the revolutions staged by young people in Europe in the 60's.
Also, do not forget that Arabs are no chains are leading a media war against our scheme with lies and rumors. It is now clear for our people. For example, a These chains have said that Libyan forces attacked the port of stroke mix, yet stroke mix is \u200b\u200ba city in the desert. The television of our Arab brothers have fallen to very low and humiliating, and the Libyan people make fun of these televisions. Today, those chains enemy Arabs say Tripoli has fallen into the hands of what is called the "Jamahiriya" free "and that there is fighting in the streets of Tripoli.
euronews: Certain information
ensure that your army is near Benghazi and even the Egyptian border. What steps taken with the rebels?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"Most of them have escaped. Our supporters have asked us to let them leave, we leave from the traitors who collaborate with the United States, Britain and France, have sought the arrival of American naval army, the return of British troops or NATO intervention.
Everyone is fleeing to Egypt. We have no intention to kill or take revenge on those traitors who have betrayed their people. We tell them they can leave for Egypt with full security guarantees, because Libya is no longer theirs. In fact, there are many who have moved to Egypt.
euronews:
The UN can establish a no-fly zone in Libya. How reaccionaríaante a similar resolution?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"A decision which is against whom and against what? It's too late. In 48 hours we will have completed our military operation. We're on the verge of Benghazi. "
euronews:
To the Arab League, the Libyan regime is illegitimate Will continue within the Arab League?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
is ridiculous. These regimes are not democratic and not holding elections. Their presidents have not been elected and govern under the Constitution or the law. These regimes are illegitimate.
Our only problem is with Amr Moussa, Arab League Secretary. This man receives money from Qatar and prepares for a presidential campaign in Egypt, and nuesotrs Qatari brothers have asked to interpret their role.
We are aware of what is being prepared against us. Amr Moussa has failed to legitimately charge and Arab presidents either. These Arab regimes that have come up with a dictatorship or inheritance act like European Union or the United States. We know this play takes place in the Arab League. Our priority now is whether we in the Arab League or not, we'll have time to make that decision. Our priority is to free nuetra country and end our fight against armed militias. "
euronews:
France was the first country to recognize the legitimacy of the National Council of the rebels. What is your position on France and its President Nicolas Sarkozy?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
First, Sarkozy to Libya should return the money it took to finance his campaign. We were the ones that fund his campaign. We have all the details and are ready to unveil. So the first thing I ask the clown Sarkozy is returning the money to the Libyans. because it helps to be President to act on behalf of the Libyan people. However, we have disappointed. Give us back the money. We have all the details, bank accounts, documents and movements of the transfers. I tell you all very soon. "
euronews:
One last question. You are the son of Muammar Gaddafi. Is there a project in Libya to inherit power from his father?
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi:
"I will not talk about it. And took a decision on a long time and never want to talk about it "
