Libya: Colonel Muammar Gaddafi 'must remain in power'
The Libyan government has said it is open to political reform, but Muammar Gaddafi must stay in power to avoid a Somalia- or Iraq-style power vacuum.
Spokesman Moussa Ibrahim described Colonel Gaddafi as a "unifying figure", and insisted his forces only targeted armed rebels, not civilians.
Libyan state TV has showed video of Col Gaddafi rallying supporters in Tripoli.
Meanwhile, his son told the BBC that Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa had not betrayed Libya by leaving for the UK.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi told the BBC's world affairs editor John Simpson that Mr Koussa had travelled to Britain for health reasons and was being pressured into making allegations about Libya's government in an effort to secure immunity from prosecution.
Mr Gaddafi said Moussa Koussa was allowed to leave Libya, and denied that he knew incriminating details about the Lockerbie bombing or other atrocities.
"The British and the Americans they know about Lockerbie, they know everything about Lockerbie so there are no secrets anymore," Mr Gaddafi said.
"Come on. The British government say this: you have no immunity unless you co-operate. He [Moussa Koussa] is sick, he is sick and old so if you put it this way, no immunity of course... [he] will come out with the funny stories."
On the ground in Libya, the Associated Press reports that rebel fighters have resumed their efforts to retake the eastern oil hub of Brega, pushing halfway into the town. They have won and lost control of the town several times in recent weeks.
The oil-rich country's vital coastal belt is effectively split between rebel forces in the east and government loyalists in Tripoli and the west, nearly two months after the start of a revolt against Col Gaddafi's rule.
A tanker carrying Libyan oil is expected to leave rebel-held territory on Tuesday, the first shipment of oil since the uprising began.
'Elections, referenda, anything'
Speaking in Tripoli, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Col Gaddafi was "a safety valve for the country to remain together".
"The leader provides Libyan tribes and Libyan population of a unifying figure, as a unifying figure," he said.
"Many Libyans, many Libyans want him to lead the process forward because they are scared if he is not there for any reason we will have what happened in Iraq, we will have what happened in Somalia, we will have what happened in Afghanistan."
Libya, Mr Ibrahim said, was open to political reform - "elections, referenda, anything" - but "the leader has to lead this forward".
Mr Ibrahim said it was not for the West to tell Libya "you have to lose your leader or your system or your regime".
Denying government attacks on civilians, he challenged the outside world to investigate any alleged crimes.
"We are fighting armed militias," he said. "You are not a civilian if you take up arms."
Late on Monday Libyan state TV showed what appeared to be live footage of Col Gaddafi saluting supporters from a jeep outside his fortified compound at Bab al-Aziziya in Tripoli.
'Corpses in the street'
As fighting continued in eastern Libya, evacuees from the besieged city of Misrata, in the west, have accused pro-Gaddafi forces of atrocities against civilians.
On Sunday, a Turkish humanitarian ship carrying more than 250 injured people from Misrata, the only major city in western Libya still under rebel control, arrived in the rebel capital Benghazi.
Speaking from Tunisia, other evacuees told Reuters that Gaddafi forces there had been "massacring" civilians.
"You have to visit Misrata to see the massacre by Gaddafi," said Omar Boubaker, a 40-year-old engineer with a bullet wound to the leg, brought to the Tunisian port of Sfax by a French aid group.
"Corpses are in the street. Hospitals are overflowing."

quote:Libya crisis: Rebels in race to train recruits
By Wyre Davies 4 April 2011
BBC News, Benghazi
Training sessions in Benghazi are sometimes carried out using outdated equipment
At a military base in Benghazi, rebel leaders are in a desperate race to train new recruits.
They learn how to assemble and dismantle a heavy machine gun. Half an hour on this, then on to another lesson - perhaps the mechanics of firing a mortar shell with accuracy or how to handle an AK47.
This is how Libya's rebel army is being trained.
As one group of young men sits attentively on the floor of the parade ground in Benghazi, an instructor shows them how to arm and fire a mortar shell.
Most of these men have never seen a mortar round before, fired a gun or been anywhere near the front line.
Salam bin Fayed is nervous about moving to the front line
Men like Salam bin Fayed - an engineer by trade who has, against his better judgement, volunteered for the front because he believes in this revolution.
"I've come here to train, to defend my people. I'm learning how to use a gun," says Salam, distinctly nervous at the thought of going to the front line.
"I've never done this before, in fact I am against all war but you have to fight to defend your home."
I have been covering this conflict now for several weeks - on both sides - and this is the first time the rebel army has begun to resemble anything like a fighting force.
Mustafa al-Sageeze is a successful businessman who left his computer software company to help train and command this makeshift army. He admits that indiscipline and a lack of organisation are real concerns but says the enthusiastic recruits are learning fast.
"We are building and every day we are improving," says Mustafa, who looks every inch the rebel commander with his Che Guevara beard and black uniform.
Lack of experience
He is an optimist, and perhaps he has to be, because this is an uphill struggle.
The rebel army has very few experienced field commanders and, at times, they charge around in pick-up trucks with machine guns mounted on the back like a rag-tag collection of enthusiastic individuals.
Two days ago I saw the body of a young anti-Gadaffi fighter who had managed to shoot himself while trying to un-block his jammed rifle.
It was a tragedy for his brothers-in-arms but a clear illustration of how indisciplined the rebel soldiers can be.
There are other, fundamental, problems.
Later I went to see a live firing exercise for the recruits on a heavy calibre machine gun. But the session was repeatedly interrupted because the ageing gun kept jamming.
Over the weekend, rebel leaders in Benghazi made another desperate appeal, not only for the allied air strikes on Gaddafi's tanks and heavy armour to continue, but also for more weapons and military training.
At the training ground, new recruits - students, engineers, and teachers - listen closely and repeat their instructor's directions.
They are orders that may save their lives and prevent Col Gaddafi's better-equipped and better-organised troops advancing on Benghazi.
Rebel leaders say they need more weapons and more military training

Misratas Freedom Fighters Outsmart Gaddafis Soldiers!
door Libyan Youth Movement op dinsdag 5 april 2011 om 7:25.Wefaq Libya Reports from Misrata:
For each battle, one way to win includes this war trick! Because our freedom fighters have a sense of humor, theyve been inspired to use this method to overcome the tyrant. Several days ago, the freedom fighters unloaded the fuel station located on a service road for heavy transport vehicles. The gasoline it contained was emptied and was replaced with water instead. The freedom fighters then retreated thus leaving the fueling station to be accessible to the nearby Gaddafi brigade. Because its easy to trap a mouse in a trap, the rats of Gaddafi looted the fuel station and started filling their armored vehicles with fuel! When they attempt to leave, their vehicles stopped moving , and that is when our freedom fighters ambushed them! Gaddafis solders were forced to flee leaving their dead vehicles behind. I guess the next time they want to fill up, theyll have to taste the fuel to be sure!

Source: Son could replace Gadhafi Added On April 4, 2011quote:Source: Libyan envoy testing waters for takeover by Gadhafi's son
From Nic Robertson, Senior International Correspondent
April 5, 2011 -- Updated 0442 GMT (1242 HKT)
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- The envoy sent by Moammar Gadhafi to the West is testing foreign governments' willingness to accept one of the embattled Libyan leader's sons as his successor, a source close to the Libyan leadership said Monday.
Under the proposal, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, 38, would take over from his father and help to usher in swift reform, the source said.
Once thought to be a leading reformer inside the Libyan government, Saif has emerged as one of his father's most visible defenders since the start of the unrest.
To avoid instability, the transition must "be a gradual handover of power," the source said.
The source also stressed the need to negotiate a "respectful solution," so that the elder Gadhafi is not seen as being forced out. Moammar Gadhafi has led Libya for 42 years.
Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi met with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on Sunday. He arrived Monday in Turkey, where he is expected to continue talks.

@Sunny nogmaals de NATO is eigenlijk een militair apparaat wat uitsluitend als verdedigend orgaan is opgericht en eigenlijk ook zo dient te handelen. Dat de laatste jaren, onder invloed van de Amerikanen, ook als aanvallend orgaan is ingezet, heeft dus gevolgen voor haar functioneren en dat is maar goed ook. Ik persoonlijk ben nooit van oorlogen en vind ook dan de NATO nooit had mogen ingrijpen. Wat zou er gebeuren als G in staat was geweest om NATO aan te vallen? Dan kom je in een spagaat terecht waarin je niet wilt zijn als land. Je hebt dan nl een oorlogsverklaring gehad waar je U tegen zegt. Het MO heeft wel een aantal oorlogen gekend, maar niet zoals wij die in het Westen hebben gekend. Dat vergeten jullie nog wel eens, terwijl nu wel alle elementen aanwezig zijn. Denk dat je dan geen asymmetrisch oorlog meer krijgt.
Oh en als je geld als water hebt, komen de wapenhandelaars als vliegen op de stront af. Heb je nog een buurland als Algerije...
