Where I think you're right, I'll update, where I'm not sure, I don't know.

I filled in your blanks and also fixed a bit of formatting and erroneous transcription.<br /><br />Shalgham: What I will say - I was in Libya, a few weeks ago. I had a meeting with my friend, the leader, al-Gaddafi. We are friends, from the school. I come from a tribe to the south of Libya - that he's my friend. I can criticize him, I can't attack him. <br /><br />Q: Which tribe? <br />A: Hotmon/hotmal [ph]. <br /><br />Shalgham (continuing): What I will say - there are three phenomena - that, they don't exist anymore. Slavery, occupation, colonialism, and autocratic regime. I spoke with everyone in Libya. Secretary of Parliament, and the chief of cabinet of Gaddafi, [Name], everyone. I told them you should stop bloodshed.<br /><br />Q: What's your personal position from the bloodshed? We're talking about bloodshed in your country. What's your personal position? <br />A: I am against death.<br /><br />Q: Are you calling on the security council to take action too? [Did you ask the leader to stop the bloodshed? Who is responsible?]<br />A: I will try to, to speak with him first thing.<br /><br />Q: Is Gaddafi responsible for the bloodshed? <br />A: I don't think he is of- He is very brave. I think he is very brave. I think he'd want to have a very clear and brave decision.<br /><br />Q: Are you worried about the no-fly zone? <br />A: No, no no. I spoke with [Reporter: What can he do?] - no, I think Muammar Gaddafi is able to decide, he can decide, he can decide.<br /><br />Q: Is he recruiting mercenaries? Mercenaries? <br />A: No, that's not ... (no no no.)<br /><br />Q: Would you ask the leader to step down? <br />A: No, I ask him to stop crackdown, I ask him to change, I ask him for a constitution, for freedom, for ... <br /><br />Q: Did you speak with, with him?<br />A: I tried this morning, but I couldn't.<br /><br />Q: Can you clarify if in fact you are supportive of going to the Security Council, like your deputy has requested, or ... <br />No, no. <br /><br />Q: You're not. You're against going ... are you against going to the Security Council? <br />A: I speak to - look, excuse me, the security council is going to have an appeal to the regime to stop the bloodshed, this escalation, to abort it.<br /><br />Q: Otherwise, other measures that are requested by - the - Shal - mr. Ibrahim Dabbashi, you are against other measures?<br />A: (Nods yes)<br /><br />Q: ICC? Everything? Everything. All of - everything that's ...<br />A: (Nods no)<br /><br />Q: Do you think it's - the bombing, the aerial bombing of the ...<br />A: It's outrageous, muammar called me yesterday, and I said to him "look, if you don't stop this I will to resign." He told me that he will invite CNN, al Arabiya, all the channels to come to the Tripoli and see on the ground the stronghold. <br /><br />Q: So there's no aerial bombing ... <br />A: (nods no and walks away) No. <br /><br />Reporters: Thank you.quiestbmlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544007576240512800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-66327111532038165102011-07-30T02:32:03.754-07:002011-07-30T02:32:03.754-07:00Always good to hear from you, Felix.

I sure hope I'm not going to cause the little guy any problems, I like Shalgham. <br /><br />On the partition, for pragmatic reasons (the only way for any part of Libya to stay free), I'm for a temporary split. So far the indicators are "the plan" is to take over all of Libya, united, capitol in Tripoli. Although I suppose that's not neccessarily possible, so maybe it's a bad cop good cop approach ... anyway, will have a look.
