MOUMMAR GADDAFI, CORNERED, NOW PLAYING DICTATOR USUAL FINAL SWAN SONG SCRIPT.

Icheoku says the end is near for the 42 year old regime of Col Moummar Gaddafi. The tell-tale signs are there for any observer and follower of the current Arab Revolution sweeping across Arab North Africa and Middle East to see. The pattern playing out now in Tripoli were preceded by that of Tunis as well as Cairo where Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak tried every trick in their sleeve to cling to power but failed anyways. First they tried to ignore the uprising, then they attempted to downplay the upheaval, they later followed it with some sort of conciliatory speech on their national television trying in vain to exude some sense of normalcy and being in control. When none of those approaches worked, they tried talking tough and threatening thunder and brimstone but as the people persisted in their demand for change, they spilled some of their blood thinking that would scare them. But when they saw a people willing to die to force a regime change; they scurried away - Ben Ali into exile in Saudi Arabia while Hosni Mubarak is under house arrest in the resort town of Sham el Sheikh, Egypt. Now Moummar Gaddafi is reciting the same tested but unsuccessful script trying to bluffing the will of the Libyan people, who tired of a one-man or should Icheoku say one family playing game on them for the past 42 years, have risen to demand for something new and different. Icheoku calls on the Libyan people not to falter and not to despair as their hour of dawn is fast approaching and demands a little perseverance. Like the Tunisians and Egyptians proved, it is doable even in Tripoli and please do not let the spilled blood of few patriots deter you; instead let it be the fuel to the revolution and when it succeeds, may be you can hang the mad-man of Tripoli to cleanse the land and atone for the innocents murdered. Away with Gaddafi, Viva Libya!
