Aisha Gaddafi interview France 2 (French Channel)
The appointment, expected for several days, is set at the last minute. Aisha Gaddafi, 35, daughter of the Libya guide, gives us an appointment in daylight, in the suite of a hotel in the heart of Tripoli.
The message: "The Gaddafis dont hide in bunkers"
No, I dont hide, I'm at home, I have a normal life
You can imagine, I have already lost one of my children and my brother
because of the bombing. And evry day, my people die, civilians. Anyone who has a heart can imagine how I feel.
Lawyer, Aisha Gaddafi defended Saddam Hussein, but today, she is defending her father, and all the Gaddafi clan.
She says he would not be weakened. He is not at the end of reign.
My father, yes, I see him from time to time
He is strong, as you have always know him
He is the one who boosts our morale, who helps us to remain patient
And our family is still very close, these events have united us more than ever.
No division, no difference of opinion between us
All what is said about this is pure invention.
Is not it time for your father to let someone else who can, and leave?
42 years, aren't they enough?
This word, "leave, leave, leave"... What I find strange is: where do you want him to go?
Here is his country, his land, his people, where would he go?
There is something you don't understand, and you will never understand
My father is a symbol, un guide.
Openly anti-American, Aisha Gaddafi insists to say that she is not anti-French
and, with tears in her eyes, she evokes the French strikes in Libya
I studied in France and I liked France more than any other country
I liked its fragrance, its light, his (???) I liked all what is France, its generous people
but I never thought that this country would kill my brother and my family
And today, through this interview, I'd like to pass on a message
a message to the wives and the mothers of the French pilots who bomb us
Yours husbands are not protecting civilians in Libya, they are killing our pleple and children
And what for? Sarkozy's satisfaction! He believes that the more he kills Libyan, the more he wins votes in the elections.
She calls the rebellion a minority close to Al Qaeda, and claims that her father holds out the hand to negociate with the rebels.
There are currently direct and indirect negotiations
Wa want to stop the Libyans' bloodshed, and for this, we are ready to become allied even with the devil, to the armed rebels.
Before leaving, she wants to show the photos of victims.
She decided to appoint French lawyers to take NATO to court, for war crimes
She has notably lost a child, 5 monts old.
In compensation, she lends no credibility to the international warrant for arrest against her father and her brother
