Former Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici said today that he believes air rifle the liberation of Tripoli has exposed the West’s “falsity” and Muammar Gaddafi has no option but to fight until the end.
A Labour Party spokesman in a comment to timesofmalta.com said the party dissociated itself from Dr Mifsud Bonnici's comments. The spokesman said the party's position on the developments air rifle in Libya would be issued later today.
Contacted by timesofmalta.com this morning, he pointed out that when the Libyan government threatened to attack Benghazi, the UN intervened to protect the population. But when it came to Tripoli, Nato and the western countries did nothing to protect the civilian population and instead participated in bombardments and helping the rebels advance.
Challenged by the fact that the advance on Tripoli was intended to liberate Tripoli from Gaddafi’s grasp, he said: “There’s absolutely no difference. Hadn’t air rifle Gaddafi’s forces also wanted to liberate Benghazi?”
“All I can say is that it is impossible for him and his followers not to fight till the end. If he does otherwise, the whole population (which supports him) will have to give in. The fact that there are western countries involved with the rebels makes this unacceptable to those loyal to Gaddafi.”
Dr Mifsud Bonnici said there was no question about whether some Libyans still supported Col. Gaddafi. “You can see on television. It is clear that those celebrating are not the entire population of Tripoli.”
