利比亚领袖卡扎菲上校的儿子赛义夫(Saif al-Islam)警告称,如果持续动荡,可能会导致利比亚瓦解,随后将是长期的动乱。Magdi Abdelhadi报道。
赛义夫反复强调他的断言,这次起义是由劫持了普通大众意愿的少数伊斯兰好战分子所为。他淡化了这次起义的规模,并补充说这是外国阴谋团伙所为。他多次强调,如果目前的动荡局面不尽快结束,利比亚将面临长期内战的威胁,然而,许多人想知道这次的语调是否有轻微的改变。赛义夫说,他一向支持政治变革,但是他并没有说是否准备与现在控制着东部重要城市的叛军进行对话。
据报道,经过最近几周的骚乱,利比亚首都的黎波里今天终于平静下来,这个城市已经在忠于国家领袖卡扎菲的力量的控制之下。整个城市各处设立了检查站,警察仍然控制着主要的中心广场。商店也已经开始营业,人们开始着手自己的事情。然而,机场仍然是一片混乱的景象。
