He's vowing death or victory. What does that tell you? Does that mean he is or is not still in Tripoli? He's well known with games. He likes games.
We are now in Tripoli, we know exactly that the freedom fighters is controlling the whole city and what he's doing is just to convince some of his loyals in other cities that he's still there, I have control, I am in charge , but he's not.
The truth is that he's not. He's collapsed. His regime's collapsed. Maybe in one of the secret place he has in Tripoli. He just came out on TV yesterday to say that he's still in Tripoli, he can go out of the Bab al Aziziya compound to raise the morale of his loyals but this is not true. Most spent decades in exile and expected never to see their homeland again, until the uprising of , during which thousands returned to their country to join the rebel cause.
Ballali and his family fled the country after his father was placed on a wanted list by the Libyan government and spent the following 32 years in exile, living between Scotland and the central English city of Birmingham. The dream did materialise, thanks in part to a NATO-led aerial campaign against Gaddafi forces, which saw the capital, Tripoli, fall to the rebels a little over six months after the uprising began.

According to some fighters quoted after the event, he begged his captors not to shoot. What is certain from several of the clips of video footage — most telling that shot by Ali Algadi — is that Gaddafi was dazed but still alive, although possibly already fatally wounded. The question is what happens between this and later images of a lifeless Gaddafi lying on the ground having his shirt stripped off and propped in the back of a pickup truck and the next sequence which shows him dead.
Here the accounts differ wildly. According to one fighter, caught on camera, he was shot in the stomach with a 9mm pistol. According to doctors not present at his capture and ambulance staff, Gaddafi was shot in the head. He was filmed alive but wounded smoking a cigarette and drinking from a bottle of water, before the announcement that he also had died. There is hatred inside. We want to see him. And in confirming that Gaddafi is no more, the Libyan people want to bring the final curtain down on his tyranny.
