Gaddafi: NATO will be Defeated, They will not Change Libya

Libya´s leader Muammar Gaddafi said, in an audio message aired on local TV, that NATO will be defeated and that the Alliance will not force his government to change anything in Libya.
“We do not want any reconciliation, or dialog with them; we are in our own country and we will stay here until death,” said Gaddafi.

The state-owned channel aired Gaddafi´s statement while running images of thousands of people backing the Libyan leader at the Green Square in Tripoli.

In a high tone, Gaddafi  said that those who defect his government “are as coward as those who have taken arms against him,” in direct reference to Libyan opposition.

“We are unyielding; let them bomb us, NATO will be defeated; we are determined to not change anything in our country on the will of their warplanes,” he pointed out.

Gaddafi called on the Libyan people to get ready to “free their country” and like in other occasions he urged them to “fight the enemy.”

NATO warplanes attacked Tripoli again today, particularly a southern neighborhood as well as an area near the Kikla locality, some 150 kilometers from the capital city.
