Protests against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, a friend of Mr. B and master of Libya since 1969, are still indecipherable and can have different matrices: political dissent, contrast, tribal or family feud. And, perhaps, are a mix of all these components. The tribal component is suggested by the fact that while the Cyrenaica, East of the country is on fire in Tripoli, Colonel can afford to shoot in self-discovery, encountering a crowd of supporters.
And the family feud is some endorsement seemingly different positions taken by some of the six sons of Libyan leader. Seif al Islam, that is Sword of Islam, 38, named after the reformist and studies Londion School of Economics, does not seem to be against the protest: it gives information on the site and the newspaper Oea, as once was called Tripoli, and supports the demand for a constitution to give the Jamahiriya. Seif would represent the new guard, against the current establishment led by Prime Minister Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmudi
Instead, Saad, 37, certainly the best-known son of Gaddafi in Italy, seeks to take up the post of mayor of Benghazi to protect the population would have told him that a local radio station, according to As reported by residents of Benghazi Reuters. Up to some 'time ago, Saad did not seem interested in his father's work: footballer with only two appearances in Serie A-' s debut in Perugia, against Juventus, then one in Udine, Genoa and Sampdoria was only bench-side and a ban for doping, captain of the National President of the Libyan Football Federation. Once past the age of active sports, Saad would have discovered a vocation and political office and, according to reports from the site 'Libya al-Youm', considered close to the opposition, would be among the faithful besieged by protesters at a hotel in Benghazi. To free him, the government would send an armed security men of 1500 guided-is always a family affair-the son of the leader, Abdullah Senoussi. Pure
two younger brothers and Seif Saad, Muatassim Billah, 32, and Khamis, 31, are active with their father. Muatassim Billah, national security adviser (in this capacity, Colonel in June 2009 followed a visit to Italy) and Khamis, studies in the Russian military academy, military commander of a battalion that was used in Al Baida 's epicenter of the protests seem rather sided with the prosecution.
In these quarrels, but there is no news of the position of Hannibal, Gaddafi's son arrested in Geneva in July 2008 after who had abused his two servants reported: almost triggered a war between Libya and Switzerland, with Italy on the side of Tripoli, with the crisis between Libya and the EU visas and the arbitrary detention of two Swiss nationals in Libya.
There is also the suggestion that somehow the same Gaddafi, not only his family, is riding on what is happening, protest, repression, concessions. And we still talk about the possibility of a return to power Abdessalam Jallud, a former Dolphin dictator, as a solution to the crisis. Meanwhile, some family members of the Colonel (his wife, with daughter Aisha and her children) would have left Libya, with a flight to Dubai: Aisha would recently purchased a building right there in the Gulf.
The uncertainty on the significance of the events in Libya is general. Prudence is not in the assessments, instead of all. If the prime minister Berlusconi is not called Gaddafi "in order not to disturb him," Stefania Craxi, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with SkyTg24 that "criticism of the government in Tripoli did not seem to undermine the strong relationship that exists between Gaddafi and his people ". In here we are, next to the friend, for the dictator that is, until the end. If this trend, the children we will create some problems, candidates to succeed at different positions. A wish: we do not aim at Saad, known for irascibility and temper, as the Libyan Uday Hussein, son of Saddam Hussein Qusavy killed with his brother and a nephew of 14 years by U.S. Special Forces in Mosul July 22, 2003.
