Interviewer: You are part of…
Soldier: *broken sound* …. foot soldiers
Interviewer: Which base?
Soldier: Safsaf in Sirt
Interviewer: Where is it’s base?
Soldier: Sirt
Interviewer: Who is it’s commander?
Soldier: Mabrook Al Forjani
Interviewer: From Sirt?
Soldier: From Sirt yes
Interviewer: Tell us about your brigade’s movements
Soldier: I will tell you about its movement in from the beginning when I arrived at the checkpoint in Raas Lanuf. From there the officer asked me for my ID and I gave it to him. They took us to the scouting camp there, the Abu Hdem camp. We arrived at the camp and they gave us our clothes. I wore my clothes and from there they brought us to Brega today. We passed Bishr, Al Agela and we arrived at Al Brega. We were approximately 30 or 40 cars. The cars were equipped with machine guys, Anti-aircraft machine guns, A Hauser (M60 Machine gun), A quad machine gun (?) and RPGs. We were in total 300 to 400 soldiers. All armed with heavy weaponary.
Interviewer: Alright..
Soldier: When we arrived at Brega, they started shooting. Shooting right, shooting left, right, left.
Interviewer: When did you leave the battalion base exactly?
Soldier: We left at around…6 in the morning
Interviewer: 6am
Soldier: 6am yeah, it was still a little dark
Interviewer: Right. And you came from Sirt towards the east
Soldier: correct
Interviewer: And you passed Bin Jwad and Ras Lanuf
Soldier: correct, we passed Bin Jwad and Ras Lanuf
Interviewer: Right, and what was there in Ras Lanuf exactly? Is it true that there’s a battalion there?
Soldier: There is a scouting battalion there yes.
Interviewer: Your total count was 400?
Soldier: Our number is in the region of 400 yes
Interviewer: What arms and weaponry
Soldier: The honest fact of the matter is that they gathered us yesterday and told us you are going to Brega
Interviewer: They gathered you?
Soldier: Yeah, they told us at x hour, you will be going to Brega. Get into the cars, get into the cars, we found ourselves in Brega.
Interviewer: get into the cars, get into the cars….did they take you from your houses or…
Soldier: No, from the barracks.
Interviewer: You were in the barracks right
Soldier: I have told you my story from the very beginning. We were soldiers on reserve. They told us to get into the cars, we wore our gear and were taken to Brega.
Interviewer: On what basis?
Soldier: On the basis that we were going to make base there or clean it or something..
Interviewer: What do you mean clean it? You guys were coming here to clean Brega?
Soldier: Yeah, we were coming here to clean Al Brega
Interviewer: Clean it from what?
Soldier: They said people were coming to live in Brega
Interviewer: To clean means to kill? Or does to clean meaning remove the wrappers and dirt?
Soldier: Clean meaning to sweep it so they can control it
Interviewer: Meaning whoever is in front of you kill them
Soldier: Whoever is in front of us…I won’t lie to you….they told us we were going to do some military cleaning..
Interviewer: I am sure that you understand military language. Cleaning…what does that mean?
Soldier: It means whoever attacks you with bullets…shoot them with bullets
Interviewer: Right, carry on
Soldier: And this is what God taught me
Soldier: I tell you that my county is Ajdabya. Let me explain to you my reality. My county is Ajdabya…
and it remains my county and whatever happens in the end, may God be with them (meaning: in the end, I will side with my people. Gaddafi can go to hell). And if I were to be tried, I’d be going to the cells there with the other military personnel. I can stay and jump with the army, I can stay with them. But I want to get away because I am walking with the truth.
Soldier: I can tell you about it but earlier I saw a plane, you get me? I saw a plane but did it fire or not I didn’t see it do that with my eyes.
Interviewer: What is your rank?
Soldier: I have no rank
Interviewer: You have no rank..right.
Soldier: Their guns were aimed at any car. A Toyota or whatever, they would fire at it with machine guns and 106 and the light rifles. Anything that is on top of the car they would fire at as well, and this I saw with my own eyes.
Interviewer: In exchange, what did they give you in exchange to do this?
Soldier: As for something in exchange I swear I saw none of that. They didn’t give me anything. Not a dime.
Soldier: What else can I tell you, I swear I don’t know anything. I am a soldier, they held me against my will, they took me and brought me.
Interviewer: Against your will? Where is your family? Where are you brothers?
Soldier: My mother still lives in Ajdabiya, my siblings are still in Ajdabiya and my county is Ajdabiya.
Soldier: O Muslim youth, a piece of advice for the sake of God and none else. Any person who is defending something unlawful or false, then distance yourself from the problems. You are all brothers and..
Interviewer: We want you to be clear
Soldier: Right
Interviewer: Say I came here and found fire facing me.
Soldier: I came and found a firey resistance impossible to defeat, and when I fell I found mercy and people who treated me kindly. All praise be to God!
Crowd: God is Greater!
Interviewer: Your colleagues, did they run away or not?
Soldier: They ran away
Interviewer: Did they leave you or not?
Soldier: I testify in front of God that they left me
