Gaddafi website publishes 'last will' of Libyan ex-leader
*endeleeni na mapambano
*maiti yangu izikwe kwa desturi na mila za kiislamu
*nizikeni Sirte kwenye makaburi ya mababu
*nizikwe na nguo nilizovaa mauti yaliponikuta
*mwili wangu usioshwe
*nitakufa kama Mwislamu
In his will, Gaddafi urged Libyans to fight on
Muammar Gaddafi's website, Seven Days News, says it has published the last will of the deceased former leader of Libya.
The document was reportedly handed to three of his relatives, one of whom was killed, the second arrested and the third managed to escape the fighting in Sirte.
Here is the English translation:
"This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God's Prophet, peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.
Should I be killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of Sirte, next to my family and relatives.
I would like that my family, especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honourable image of its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices of the free and best people.
I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.
Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour.
Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honour and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise."

Ukweli ya Libya yananiuma as if ni nchi yangu kiasi nashindwa hata kuya discuss! unapoona inafikia mahala ambapo mwanaume anatoka nyumbani kwake kuja kukupangia jinsi ya kutawala familia yako jua hiyo ni hatari kubwa sana.
Mataifa ya magharibi yameamua kuweka utawala yanaoutaka katika bara la Afrika mradi kuwe na maslahi wanayoyataka katika taifa hilo, Tanzania tujiandae uranium itatuponza muda si mrefu!

Siku madini yetu yakianza kutusaidia ujue tutapigwa mabomu na NATO, kumbuka uadui wa Gadaffi na mataifa ya magharibi ulianza mara tu baadha ya mapinduzi ya 1969, na hasa pale Gadaffi aliposema mafuta ya Libya ni ya Walibya wenyewe. Wakati wa mfalme Idris mafuta yote yalikuwa mali ya mataifa ya Magharibi.
Idris I
Idris I was king of Libya from 1951 to 1969. His pro-Western sympathies and lack of involvement in Arab politics weakened his government, which was overthrown in 1969.

napata shida kuamini kuwa watu wa Libya walikuwa wanapata huduma hizo zote bure pamoja na mambo mengine mazuri ambayo tumesikia, wakati mwingine naona kama ni hadithi tu ambazo tulio nje ya libya hatujui ukweli wake but anyway kama gaddafi aliyafanya hayo yote kwa walibya na shukran waliyompa ni kumuua basi kuna tatizo ndani ya libya ambalo tusio walibya hatujui bali walibya wenyewe ndo wanaojua vizuri ila sisi wengineo hatujui ukweli halisi ila tunatumia hisia zetu kujadili.

Gaddafi website publishes 'last will' of Libyan ex-leader
*endeleeni na mapambano
*maiti yangu izikwe kwa desturi na mila za kiislamu
*nizikeni Sirte kwenye makaburi ya mababu
*nizikwe na nguo nilizovaa mauti yaliponikuta
*mwili wangu usioshwe
*nitakufa kama Mwislamu
In his will, Gaddafi urged Libyans to fight on
Muammar Gaddafi's website, Seven Days News, says it has published the last will of the deceased former leader of Libya.
The document was reportedly handed to three of his relatives, one of whom was killed, the second arrested and the third managed to escape the fighting in Sirte.
Here is the English translation:
"This is my will. I, Muammar bin Mohammad bin Abdussalam bi Humayd bin Abu Manyar bin Humayd bin Nayil al Fuhsi Gaddafi, do swear that there is no other God but Allah and that Mohammad is God's Prophet, peace be upon him. I pledge that I will die as Muslim.
Should I be killed, I would like to be buried, according to Muslim rituals, in the clothes I was wearing at the time of my death and my body unwashed, in the cemetery of Sirte, next to my family and relatives.
I would like that my family, especially women and children, be treated well after my death. The Libyan people should protect its identity, achievements, history and the honourable image of its ancestors and heroes. The Libyan people should not relinquish the sacrifices of the free and best people.
I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.
Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour.
Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honour and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise."
-BBC
You deserve a remembrance as a hero of your country, may one day God see this atrocity and relinguishing of African Countries and send more Katrina and tsunami to the countries harming our continent. RIP Mr. President Gaddafi

What's the source of your information? How about you go back to the very source and verify how many human beings, irrespective of the color of their skin, Ghaddafi killed. Why does everything have to be "color-coded"? Isn't every human beings life precious? Do you know how many families suffered (not refering to poverty) and lost loved ones for the 42 yrs that Gaddafi was in power?
That said, I'm not so much a proponent of human killing, even though sometimes I have to admit I'm puzzled by the varied nature with which each human brain operates. I don't take comfort watching anybody, including a murderer, gets killed. As a Christian, I wrestle with the fact that nobody, except the person who gives life, should have the right to take life. I equally believe that nobody should inflict pain to another person's soul, the same way Gaddafi did to the millions of people under his tyranny.
