00:00:00,766 --> 00:00:08,429
What is happening in Libya and what happened yesterday is saddening.

2
00:00:08,429 --> 00:00:18,924
Fighting between family, friends, and fellow Muslims is a sad thing to behold. I never though things would get this bad.

3
00:00:18,924 --> 00:00:25,612
I hoped all our problems and grievances would be addressed peacefully and reasonably.

4
00:00:25,612 --> 00:00:38,015
We are Muslim brothers. Our prophet is Mohamed (pbuh). We should show mercy towards each other.

5
00:00:38,015 --> 00:00:55,675
A lot of Libyan blood has been spilt by this conflict. We are unto Allah, and unto him we shall return.

6
00:00:58,398 --> 00:01:04,026
Describe to us your immediate surroundings and situation.

7
00:01:07,369 --> 00:01:19,567
I don't know what to tell you. A number of people have besieged my home,

8
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:28,205
and as yet remain outside the house. They have not yet entered. It is calm now.

9
00:01:28,205 --> 00:01:39,167
A few hours ago, there was heavy gunfire, and occasionally explosions in the immediate vicinity.

10
00:01:39,167 --> 00:01:48,267
But, for now, things are calm. I hope it stays that way. I hope everyone remains safe and peaceful.

11
00:01:50,295 --> 00:01:59,275
So you are in your home right now - have you been promised safety as long as you remain there?

12
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:08,021
Yes, yes I have. Thank Allah.

13
00:02:10,728 --> 00:02:20,881
Do you see in that an extension of an olive branch? Do you think this is a genuine gesture?

14
00:02:23,499 --> 00:02:43,505
I don't doubt it. It is a reassuring gesture. Not only to me, but to all Libyan citizens.

15
00:02:43,505 --> 00:02:59,300
Thankfully, people know who Mohamed is, and they know of my good and honest conduct.

16
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:09,767
They know I have fulfilled my humanitarian duty, and my duty towards Libya.

17
00:03:09,767 --> 00:03:17,433
(inaudible), but thankfully, I have many friends and colleagues.

18
00:03:17,433 --> 00:03:22,896
All thanks to Allah. Mohamed is good to the Libyans.

19
00:03:22,896 --> 00:03:33,867
I put great care and effort in my work, towards Allah first and foremost, and towards being a good citizen,

20
00:03:33,867 --> 00:03:42,308
and being good and obedient to my parents. I hope Allah grants me success, and I thank Allah.

21
00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:56,304
My situation can befall anyone. But by Allah's grace, I have avoided enmity and arrogance.

22
00:03:56,304 --> 00:04:02,762
I wish only well for all Libyans, in the present and future.

23
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:13,100
You talked briefly about the sad state of affairs in Libya, and, without rubbing salt in the wound,

24
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:19,833
may I ask you who is responsible for what is happening in Libya?

25
00:04:23,002 --> 00:04:31,906
Forgive me, but I am not in the best position to say.

26
00:04:31,906 --> 00:04:42,912
I am not involved in state security or government. What happens in the streets is apparent to all.

27
00:04:42,912 --> 00:04:56,900
The absence of reason, tolerance and broadness of mind is to blame.

28
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:05,023
I think the situation could have been solved simply and peacefully.

29
00:05:06,733 --> 00:05:15,655
Mr Mohamed, the Libyan people are listening to you. If we were to ask you to speak from the heart,

30
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:20,190
and to address them as they prepare for a new era -

31
00:05:23,559 --> 00:05:27,233
We are being attacked right now.

32
00:05:27,233 --> 00:05:30,354
This is happening around your house?

33
00:05:30,354 --> 00:05:35,052
Around my house - in my house. In my house. In my house.

34
00:05:35,052 --> 00:05:39,421
There is no god but Allah, and Mohamed (pbuh) is his messenger.

35
00:05:39,421 --> 00:05:43,723
Is this inside or outside your house?

36
00:05:49,386 --> 00:05:51,617
Oh God.

37
00:05:55,247 --> 00:06:02,341
We hope you are safe. Mr Mohamed?

38
00:06:03,813 --> 00:06:05,895
Yes, yes.

39
00:06:05,895 --> 00:06:08,967
Glad to hear you are safe. Was that exchange within your house?

40
00:06:08,967 --> 00:06:10,367
Yes, yes.

41
00:06:10,367 --> 00:06:12,733
Between who?

42
00:06:20,025 --> 00:06:25,500
Unfortunately, the sound is fading, and we appreciate your situation - who is firing?

43
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:30,805
(inaudible) present within the house.

44
00:06:37,167 --> 00:06:41,706
Unfortunately, the call has been disconnected.

45
00:06:41,706 --> 99:59:59,999
We have been talking to Colonel Gaddafi's elder son Mohamed, who says he has been promised safety.
