Gaddafi's family first recognized a desire for change in the riots

Seif Al-Islam, a favorite to succeed his father Muammar Gaddafi in front of power in Libya, has acknowledged for the first time that exists in the country "an inner willingness to change," which has led revolts against his father, but he insists that "the incentive comes from abroad", who "manipulated" the population.

Gaddafi's son said in an interview with Al-Arabiya no choice but to maintain the regime of his father: "What is happening in the country has opened the door to all options, including civil war." The "dolphin" Gadhafi accuses the leaders of the revolution as "terrorists." "They do not want a constitution.

They do not want human rights. Do not want freedom (...) People are scared because these people have weapons. This will have to end soon," he adds. On the situation in Libya, Seif Al-Islam claims that the situation of three-fourths of the country is "excellent." However, the rebels say Gadhafi has been cornered.

Tarbul Fathi, a member of the committee that controls Benghazi popular and one of the leaders of the uprising, said that Gaddafi loyalists already control just 15% of the country. "He's living the last moments and wait for the end of his regime in the coming days," said Tarbul, a lawyer for 39 years whose arrest last February 15 was the spark that ignited the uprising in the eastern third of the country and several locations in the west and south.

In his view, the decision to launch or not a military attack on Tripoli, which is in principle excluded, is a decision that should take the advice of the revolution and not the military leader of the popular revolt has also pointed out that the Army Gaddafi has disintegrated, and what remains now are paramilitaries loyal to his regime and mercenaries.

Tarbul was attorney for the families of about 1,200 prisoners who were believed killed in 1996 by special forces of the Libyan leader in the Abu Salim prison in Benghazi, to demand better treatment in prison.
