WAR REPORT
Venezuela's Chavez urges Libyan leader to resist
by Staff Writers
Caracas (AFP) July 14, 2011

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Thursday sent a message of support to embattled Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, urging him to resist and calling on European nations to worry about their own domestic issues.

"There is Kadhafi resisting. Until when will this outrage last?" Chavez said at a meeting of his ministers. Part of the event was broadcast on the state television network VTV.

"Libya is a country of free and restless people that responds only to itself, and not the interests of the empire. Long live Libya and its independence!" Chavez proclaimed.

Chavez routinely describes the United States as "the empire."

"European leaders," he then said, "take care of the crisis that you have within."

He complained that the leaders of France, Britain, Italy and Spain are now opposed to the Libyan regime, "when just a year ago they were going business with Kadhafi."

Chavez continued: "There is old Kadhafi, resisting. Take courage, Kadhafi, take courage, Libya!"

The Chavez administration has consistently denounced the months-long military operation in Libya as an oil grab by Western powers.

Chavez in 2004 was awarded the Al-Kadhafi International Prize for Human Rights, a prize granted by the Libyan leader. Cuba's Fidel Castro and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega have also won the award.

Libyan rebels on Thursday pulled back from an assault on a gateway to Tripoli and set their sights on the oil city of Brega, as NATO dismissed charges of having killed more than 1,100 civilians.
