  Hotuba ya aliyekua kiongozi wa Libya Kanali Mu'uammar Qaddafi. Aliiandika siku chache kabla ya kifo chake.

QADAFFI ANAANZA HIVI:

"Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu (Allah), Mungu mpaji, na mwenye rehema....

Kwa miaka takribani 40 ama ilikuwa zaidi sikumbuki. Nachokumbuka ni kuwa nilifanya kila nilichoweza kuwapa watu wangu nyumba, hospitali na shule. Na kila walipohisi njaa niliwapa chakula. Niliifanya Benghazi kutoka jangwa kuwa ardhi nzuri ya kilimo.

Nilisimama imara dhidi ya Ronald Regan (Rais wa zamani wa Marekani), alipomuua binti yangu niliyemuasili. Alikua anajaribu kuniua mimi lakini akamuua yule binti yatima masikini. Niliwasaidia kaka na dada zangu waafrika fedha kupitia AU.

Nilifanya kila nililoweza kuwafanya watu wangu waelewe maana halisi ya demokrasia; ambapo watu wa tabaka la chini niliwapa madaraka.
 
 Lakini hawakuridhika. Hata aliyekuwa na nyumba ya vyumba kumi, nguo mpya, na fanicha nzuri, hakuridhika. Alihitaji zaidi.

Kwa jinsi walivyokuwa wabinafsi walihitaji zaidi. Hivyo wakawaambia Marekani kuwa wanataka "demokrasia" na "uhuru". Hawakujua kuwa "demokrasia" waliyoitaka ilikua ni mfumo wa unyonyaji ambapo mbwa mwenye nguvu zaidi huwala mbwa wadogo.

Walikua hawasikii wala hawaoni. Walitaka "demokrasia". Wakasahau kuwa hata Marekani hakukuwa na huduma za afya za bure, dawa bure, elimu bure na chakula cha bure. (Huduma hizi za bure zilipatikana Libya tu).

Nchini Marekani mtu masikini/fukara hana cha bure. Labda awe ombaomba au avuje jasho kuhemea.

Haikujalisha nilifanya kwa kiasi gani bado hawakuridhika. Lakini wapo waliojua mimi ni mtoto wa Gamal Abdel Nasser, mwarabu pekee halisi na kiongozi wa kiislamu tuliyewahi kuwa nae tangu enzi za Salah-al-Deen.

Wakati Nasser anapigania mfereji wa Suez kwa watu wake nami nilikua naipigania Libya kwa watu wangu. Nilikua najaribu kufuata nyayo zake ili kuwaweka watu wangu huru kutoka kwenye makucha ya wakoloni wanaotuibia.

Lakini kwa sasa niko mateka katikati ya majeshi makubwa ya dunia katika historia. Mwanangu mpendwa mwenye asili ya Afrika, Obama anataka kuniua.

Ili achukue uhuru wetu, achukue haki yetu ya huduma za bure za afya, huduma za bure za elimu, na chakula chetu; na kutuletea mfumo mpya wa kimarekani wa kuiba uitwao "Ubepari"

Lakini wote katika dunia ya tatu tunajua maana yake. Maana yake ni kuwa "washirika" wanatawala mataifa, wanatawala dunia, na watu wanaishia kuteseka.

Kwa hiyo hakuna mbadala kwangu. Lazima niwe na msimamo. Na kama Mungu atapenda nitakufa kwa mapenzi yake.

Mapenzi yake yaliyofanya nchi yetu kuwa na ardhi yenye rutuba, chakula bora, na huduma bora za afya. Mapenzi ya Allah yaliyowezesha tukawasaidia kaka na dada zetu waafrika na waarabu waliokuwa na shida.

Sipendi kufa; lakini kama nitakufa ili kuiokoa ardhi hii, kuokoa watu wangu, na wengine ambao ni kama wanangu; acha nife.!

Acha sauti hii iwe agano langu kwa dunia kuwa nilisimama kupinga uvamizi wa NATO. Nilisimama kishujaa kupinga usaliti wa nchi za magharibi na nia mbaya za kikoloni. Na hapa nimesimama na ndugu zangu waafrika, kaka na dada zangu waislamu kama ngao yangu ya matumaini.

Wakati wengine walipokuwa wanajenga majumba ya kifahari, mimi niliishi kwenye nyumba ya kawaida na kwenye mahema. Siwezi kusahau maisha yangu ya utoto kule Sirte.

Sikutapanya rasilimali za nchi yangu kipumbavu. Na kama alivyokua Salah-al-Deen, kiongozi wetu katika uislamu, nilichukua kidogo sana kwa ajili yangu, na sehemu kubwa niliwapa wananchi.

Watu wa magharibi wameniita "kichaa", "mwendawazimu" lakini wanajua ukweli kuwa mimi si kichaa wala mwendawazimu; ila waache waendelee kudanganya. Wanajua hii ardhi ni huru na haipo kwenye himaya ya kikoloni. Huu ndio msimamo wangu na dira yangu na imekuwa wazi kwa watu wangu.

Nitapambana hadi pumzi yangu ya mwisho ili watu wangu wawe huru. Mwenyezi Mungu atusaidie tubaki waaminifu na tuwe huru.

-- Mu'uammar Qaddafi.


(NAKALA YA KIINGEREZA)

GADDAFFI'S LAST SPEECH:

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful...

For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union.

I did all I could to help people Understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.

No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us.

Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism" ,but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer.

So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters.

I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it.

Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stoop up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.

When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself...

In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah Almighty help us to remain faithful and free.
