Hizi ni baadhi tu ya nukuu za Saif al-Islam-mwana wa Gaddafi. Bado atatoa kauli nyingi nyingine. Tuzijadili hizi wakati tukisubiri hizo mpya. Yaweza kuwa kweli, pia yaweza kuwa propaganda
Sayf al-Islam holds no government post, but is his father's most trusted envoy.
he said Islamic Sharia law, security issues, Libya's territorial unity and his father's leadership would be kept out of any political debate.
He announced plans for the creation of several independent bodies to "sustain Libya's prosperity and stability".
"Society needs to have independent media to highlight corruption, cheating and falsification. Libya must have an independent civic society and independent bodies."
Seif al-Islam Gaddafi says his father is in the country and has support of army.
"We are not Tunisia and Egypt," the younger Gaddafi said, referring to the successful uprisings that toppled longtime regimes in Libya's neighbours
"It sounded like a desperate speech by a desperate son of a dictator who's trying to use blackmail on the Libyan people by threatening that he could turn the country into a bloodbath.
"That is very dangerous coming from someone who doesn't even hold an official role in Libya - so in so many ways, this could be the beginning of a nightmare scenario for Libya if a despotic leader puts his son on air in order to warn his people of a bloodbath if they don't listen to the orders or the dictates of a dictators.

"You can say we want democracy and rights, we can talk about it, we should have talked about it before. It's this or war. Instead of crying over 200 deaths, we wil cry over hundreds of thousands of deaths.
"Brothers, there are $200bn worth of projects at stake now. We will agree to all these issues immediately. We will then be able to keep our country, unlike our neighbours.
"Or else, be ready to start a civil war and chaos and forget oil and petrol."
"We will fight to the last minute, until the last bullet," Gaddafi said.
Saif Gaddafi offered to put forward reforms within two days, saying Libya faced a "historic moment" and could choose between reform or something "worse than Yugoslavia".
"He promised that the country would spiral into civil war for the next 30 to 40 years, that the country's infrastructure would be ruined, hospitals and schools would no longer be functioning - but schools are already terrible, hospitals are already in bad condition." (maneno ya wachambuzi)
