ANCHOR: First, thank God you are safe, brother Saddam, what can you tell us about what you have seen since Feb 15th?

0:00:15.532,0:00:19.064
Or between then and when you left Libya?

0:00:19.064,0:00:23.940
SADAM: Yes, peace be with you.

0:00:23.940,0:00:27.144
I am a resident of the city of Al Bayda in Libya, as you know.

0:00:27.144,0:00:31.766
We came out on the 16th, in Al Bayda.

0:00:31.766,0:00:38.986
We weren't drunk or on pills like he (Gadafi) said, or copying the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions

0:00:38.986,0:00:42.237
ANCHOR: You mean what Gaddafi has said?

0:00:42.237,0:00:46.231
SADAM: Yes, yes.

0:00:46.231,0:00:51.594
It was a peacefull demonstration, by God, we were asking for a proper health system, education...

0:00:51.594,0:00:53.633
...and a solid foundation

0:00:53.633,0:00:57.980
that was enough for him to massacre us and unleash mercenaries on us

0:00:57.980,0:01:02.196
from the first day our bodies were strewn on the street

0:01:02.196,0:01:03.466
17 men perished

0:01:03.466,0:01:07.678
because we demanded our basic rights

0:01:07.678,0:01:10.918
and he (Gadafi) tells you that the people govern and arm themsleves

0:01:10.933,0:01:12.625
what self governance?

0:01:12.625,0:01:24.179
the moment he gained power the only thing we had was oppression, weakness, subjugation

0:01:24.179,0:01:28.475
only threats, threats!

0:01:28.475,0:01:33.828
ANCHOR: Yes, yes...what was or were the toughest moments for you in the past days?

0:01:35.397,0:01:40.984
SADAM: Feb 18th, in Shahat. After we surrounded the mercenaries

0:01:43.338,0:01:51.154
after we freed Al Baydah the 17th, we went to the hospital to donate blood to the injured

0:01:51.154,0:01:58.073
someone came to us from Shahat, he put down his brothers body

0:01:58.073,0:02:01.745
and asked the youth of Al Baydah to come support him

0:02:01.745,0:02:05.461
and stand up to the tyrants, after they left, 40 of them died as martyrs

0:02:05.461,0:02:08.904
there were police from Al Baydah who were trapped inside

0:02:08.904,0:02:12.331
they wanted to surrender, and as soon as they got out they began shooting at their heads

0:02:12.331,0:02:22.083
I remember one gruesome moment when steam was rising from a man's head after being shot

0:02:22.083,0:02:25.256
this is blasphemy, what religion does he belong to? And he says we are rats!

0:02:25.256,0:02:28.584
We are soldiers and we want to free Libya from this oppression

0:02:28.584,0:02:32.108
enough corruption, Muammar (Gadafi), enough killing!

0:02:32.108,0:02:34.993
all this, you haven't had enough? You only want our blood!

0:02:34.993,0:02:38.030
you're a thug, a killer!

0:02:38.030,0:02:44.347
ANCHOR: Have you left Libya on your own or did you accompany any family?

0:02:44.347,0:02:50.551
I ask you this question because Gadafi has said that some of you were separated from each other

0:02:50.551,0:02:57.423
and that you were given hallucinogenic pills and drugs , etc..

0:02:57.423,0:03:05.178
so that you lose control of your minds and thinking

0:03:05.178,0:03:14.342
how do you respond to that?

0:03:14.342,0:03:20.319
SADAM: I say....

0:03:20.319,0:03:27.685
we are dying! At 21, our dreams are being crushed

0:03:27.685,0:03:32.585
no goals, no education, we have some of the highest suicide rates

0:03:32.785,0:03:36.810
due to his oppression, for 42 years he speaks from his Green Book

0:03:36.810,0:03:39.523
this failed book of his, this joke of his

0:03:39.523,0:03:46.041
it's all for his self interest

0:03:46.041,0:03:48.415
and he constantly threatens us...what more can I say?

0:03:48.415,0:03:50.888
we just want to be free, nothing more

0:03:50.888,0:03:53.769
there are no drugs, we just want to be free.

0:03:53.769,0:03:56.588
we want to learn, and be proud to be Libyan,

0:03:56.588,0:03:59.328
but he destroyed our dreams and hopes

0:03:59.328,0:04:01.858
he would round up people after friday prayers in large numbers

0:04:01.858,0:04:04.599
40 at a time, and no one would hear from them again for 35 years.

0:04:04.599,0:04:06.270
without trial

0:04:06.270,0:04:08.245
he's a tyrant

0:04:08.245,0:04:10.755
we said at first he was an oppressor,

0:04:10.755,0:04:13.724
then we said he was a dog holding on to power

0:04:13.724,0:04:16.418
and third we said he was a thug and killer,

0:04:16.418,0:04:20.644
no, I don't even have words to describe him anymore

0:04:20.644,0:04:22.487
about what he's doing

0:04:22.487,0:04:24.731
we haven't seen anything,

0:04:24.731,0:04:31.325
ANCHOR: Now, Sadam, if we were to imagine that Colonel Gadafi could hear you now

0:04:31.325,0:04:33.658
what would you say to him?

0:04:33.658,0:04:36.248
SADAM: I would tell him I'm going to slaughter you

0:04:36.248,0:04:39.081
and throw you away like dogs

0:04:39.081,0:04:41.310
like stray dogs

0:04:41.310,0:04:43.324
you will not find a cemetery to lay on within Libya

0:04:43.324,0:04:45.396
so you won't pollute it anymore

0:04:45.396,0:04:57.877
there is no revenge big enough to repay all of your murders

0:04:57.877,0:05:02.811
we are not the stray dogs, he and his family are

0:05:02.811,0:05:07.163
he is the scum of the earth, he is the one that forced us

0:05:07.163,0:05:09.220
to confront him

0:05:09.220,0:05:12.657
Libya has been lost for 42 years

0:05:12.657,0:05:15.558
he has polluted our country

0:05:15.558,0:05:18.257
Gadafi, I am not afraid of you,

0:05:18.257,0:05:20.772
I came out to send you the message that we are not afraid of you!

0:05:20.772,0:05:23.245
and we will find you in your last corners

0:05:23.245,0:05:25.149
even if we are unarmed

0:05:25.149,0:05:27.564
Allah is on our side and the Devil is on yours, Muammar

0:05:27.564,0:05:29.747
your fall is near!

0:05:29.747,0:05:31.743
And we will throw you away like a dog!

0:05:31.743,0:05:33.973
We aren't cowards, we're soldiers

0:05:33.973,0:05:36.155
the liberated sons of Libya!

0:05:36.155,0:05:39.564
this is my message to him.

0:05:39.564,0:05:41.976
he had better be afraid!

0:05:41.976,0:05:49.576

0:05:55.213,0:05:59.011
where there are no dogs who control us

0:05:59.011,0:06:01.461
A Libya that is always free!

0:06:01.461,0:06:03.517
A Libya to be proud of!

0:06:03.517,0:06:05.307
An educated Libya,

0:06:06.290,0:06:08.224
a civilized Libya,

0:06:08.224,0:06:10.044
a forward looking and progressive Libya

0:06:10.044,0:06:12.295
we don't need somone to degrade us

0:06:12.295,0:06:15.414
and kill our culture and civilization

0:06:15.414,0:06:18.054
we want a future, I have goals

0:06:18.054,0:06:20.552
I left without my family's permission

0:06:20.552,0:06:24.038
I want deliver the Libyans' message

0:06:24.038,0:06:28.289
it's a massacre, you can't imagine!

0:06:28.289,0:06:29.675
It's worse than what you see on TV

0:06:29.675,0:06:31.859
ANCHOR: Go ahead, you finish

0:06:31.859,0:06:35.645
SADAM: The TV coverage doesn't show it all

0:06:35.645,0:06:39.520
we in Al Baydah, we are the ones filming, carrying our dead

0:06:39.520,0:06:41.496
we are the ones fighting and protecting our homes

0:06:41.496,0:06:47.487
this is a message I want to send to every Libyan

0:06:47.487,0:06:50.422
Anyone who has a pharmacy, by Allah, please open it and help your brothers

0:06:50.422,0:06:56.729
I swear, we have been ripping our clothes apart to bandage our wounded

0:06:56.729,0:07:00.165
what else does Muammar want from us?

0:07:00.165,0:07:05.537
You have dogs around you to protect you, you coward!

0:07:05.537,0:07:14.328
Your destiny is hell.

0:07:14.328,0:07:18.011
I apologize if i was out of line.

0:07:18.011,0:07:20.651
ANCHORS: That's ok, we understand.
