According to confidential information available to NTC fighters, and which was obtained by Maghreb-Intelligence, the failed desperate attempt of Muammar Gaddafi to flee from the city of Sirte, was orchestrated by Al Moatassim with the advice of South Africans mercenaries.
Some of these mercenaries were in the convoy bombed by NATO planes, but others were waiting about forty kilometers from Sirte to remove the guide of the revolution to northern Mali whose government has no real control of the region.
Dozens of mercenaries from South Africa had, in fact, taken a position in southern Libya to facilitate the passage of the latter to the desert of Niger, and then to Mali.
According to our sources, Gaddafi and his children were penniless. In fact, in their flight at the end of Ramadan, they left everything in Tripoli.
Our sources believe that this operation was designed by South Africa’s Secret Service and Military Intelligence Division on direct instruction from President Jacob Zuma himself. If they did not send field staff, the services of Pretoria have, apparently, provided the mercenaries with highly developed means of communication and sophisticated weapons.
South Africans have also taken care of the financing of this operation. Finally, the execution of Gaddafi and his son Al Moatassim thwarted Pretoria’s plan. The latter has, however, succeeded in helping Saif El Islam to leave the town of Beni Walid and head towards the north of Niger.
Saif El Islam, who was chosen to succeed the guide of the revolution, is now under the protection of South African mercenaries who are said to be trying to ‘exfiltrate’ him to a country that has not signed the agreements of the International Criminal Court.
