Qathafi wants freedom to prosper in Libya
Libya, Politics, 3/3/2005

Here are some excerpts from a report by the official news agency in Libya on Muammar al-Qathafi's statements:

The Leader underscored the need to launch full freedom in Libya, the Jamahiri state " the state of men and women, a country which is all civilian society and is self- run."

He called for lifting all restrictions that stand in the face of this, so that Libyans be fully free in selecting economic activities, including founding companies on partnership bases, or on the bases of wages " work with fees".

The Leader also stressed the freedom of scientific research, freedom of knowledge, education, i.e. the individual learns what he wants outside the stereotype educational system, which he referred to as becoming reactionary and its curriculum as well as educational hierarchy must be reviewed.

The leader also underscored the freedom of faith, worship, and religion, since the righteousness and the taboos are clear, and that we are not in a dark, reactionary closed and theocratic society. He also emphasized the freedom to establish various economic, social and scientific institutions.

He pointed out that oil companies are striving for oil in Libya, but they would not come to Libya and invest billions if economic policies are not stable, and if they are not certain that their properties would not be nationalized.

In this respect, the leader called on the Basic People's Congresses to enact laws prohibiting nationalization, explaining that in the past, there were nationalization, because prior to the revolution companies came to Libya on exploitative bases and to exploit Libyan resources with unfair terms for the Libyan peoples resources, therefore, it was a must that those wrong situation be rectified at the time.
