Jibril: I think there's a lot at stake for the US and free world who came to our aid. We can serve as a model to others. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: We can be a model not just for the Arab world, but for Africa. Developing real democratic models that can be imitated. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Libya can again be the bridge between Europe and Africa when it comes to development. #ntc

Jibril: I disagree there is a military stalemate on the ground. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: People say the opposition can't end this militarily. I would argue the *regime* can't end it militarily. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Freedom fighters are marching to Tripoli. #ntc #libya

Jibril: When the right of power fights the power of right, the power of right always wins. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: You'll see in the coming weeks there's still more ground to be gained by freedom fighters. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Gaddafi only has two powers left: the power to kill and the power to bribe. We need to stop the former right now. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: A ceasefire would be a partition of the country, which we completely reject. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: There's better protection of civilians, freedom fighters are gaining more ground and getting more confident. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: The ICC arrest warrant will be real political pressure on Gaddafi. Squeezing and strangling the regime. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll see a total collapse of the regime from within. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: A political solution would have to protect and highlight the rights of the Libyan people. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: The Turkish proposal is promising and could be a viable means for negotiating, incl departure of Gaddafi. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: The Turkish proposal is more comprehensive, covers both a ceasefire and a departure of the Gaddafi family. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Any political solution must be compatible with the aspirations of the entire Libyan people. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: If I meet Obama, I'd really thank him for the role the US has played, and strongly urge him to play a more active role. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: There should be an interim govt incl #ntc members, technocrats from previous regime, supreme court judge, mil, civ society. #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: We are running out of money. We have people under siege, or living as refuges. We have a human tragedy in the making. #ntc #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: They can't release the money yet b/c we're not recognized as the official new govt, even though Gaddafi called illegit. #NTC #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: We've worked it out with Qatar, Italy, France. Other countries with recognize us in the next few days. #NTC #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: Sen Kerry is trying to create legislation to release money to us. But we're going to need around $3 bil. #NTC #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: So keep most of our assets as collateral and let us access the other money to get the job done. #NTC #libya

acarvin.bsky.social aka Andy Carvin @acarvin

Jibril: If these finance issues continue for another 5-6 weeks, it might be too later. #NTC #libya
