Muammar Gaddafi is back in the spotlight, calling on Libyans to take to the streets and wage a campaign of civil disobedience against the country's new leaders, and shows he after all approves of revolution, just when they are not against him, that is.

Gaddafi, as usual, criticised his arch enemies form the National Transitional Council, a group of politicians which have assumed leadership of the country since his ousting by the rebel-led forces.
Insisting the new leaders were not legitimate as they were neither nominated nor elected, by the Libyan people, the Colonel called on his countrymen to"go out in new million-man marches in all cities and villages and oases."
"Be courageous, rise up, go out in the streets," he said. "Raise the green flag in the skies ... the conditions in Libya are unbearable."
The freedom fighter, as he calls himself, that first took power more than 40 years ago is then back it seems, shame he did not appreciate the value and importance of the revolutionaries that took to the streets to protest against his regime's oppression a few months ago.
Must Read
Gaddafi's appeal was made in a poor quality audio recording and it was not possible to verify his identity, but it was broadcast on Syrian-based Al-Rai TV, which has become the mouthpiece of his anti NTC propaganda.
The former leader has made several speeches on Al-Raiand tried to rally his supporters, as troops loyal to him are still waging fierce resistance in Sirte, and Bani Walid southeast of Tripoli and pockets in the south.
Gaddafi was last heard on Sept. 20 calling the revolution a "charade gaining its legitimacy through airstrikes."
