The rebels, demanding Colonel Qadhafi, as well as the American and European powers supported so far composed it with air strikes on a more radical break with his 40 years of rule. And it is not clear whether Colonel Qadhafi, 68, has signed supported by his sons, reported proposal Seif and Saadi el-Gaddafi, although close to the sons of the father was ready a person are said make the call.
But the proposal offers a window into the dynamic of the Qadhafi family at a time when the Colonel, who has seven sons, relies heavily on it. He is one of Moussa Koussa from his closest confidants of the resignation of Foreign Minister and isolated by decades attempted coups and internal cleansing, leaning on his sons as trusted advisors and military commanders.
The idea of touch for a long time differences between his sons. While Seif and Saadi turned towards Western-style economic and political openings have, considered to be Colonel Qadhafi sons Khamis and Mutuassim hardliners. Khamis is a fearsome militia concentrated itself on internal unrest suppress.
And Mutuassim, a national security adviser, who was also his own militia, commands as a rival to the Seif in the competition for her father. But Saadi, who has driven by career as a football player, a businessman and an officer, firmly secures the plan, said associate.
The two sons "wants to move to the change for the country" a person close to the camp said without their father, Seif and Saadi Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation. "they have with so many brick walls of the old guard meet, and if they have a green light, it will bring the country up quickly." A son, this person said, has often said that "were the wishes of the rebellion of his own."
The proposals are the latest twist in a drama between Seif and his father, who has played for years on the stage of Libyan public life as the son has alternately pushed forward with calls for political reforms and then retired. During the recent revolt, he was in step with his father in swear by the rebels March to eradicate. "We come," he said to a crowd of supporters, singing that "Seif al-Islam step on the rats."
The proposals are also the latest sign that the Qadhafi Government Printing two weeks of allied air strikes can be feeling, which greatly reduced the advantage in equipment of the militia of Qadhafi. A senior official of the Libyan arrived in Athens to discuss a possible solution to the conflict, the Reuters news service reported. And Mohamed Ismail, a top adviser of Seif, is from a trip to London, where, a Libyan official said, he's proposal for Seif to take over, return presented by his father.
Mutuassim because of his long-standing rivalry with Seif be particularly resistant.
After Seif a high-profile trip to Washington to meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2008, a WikiLeaks reported cable, the attention paid "exacerbated tension with his brothers and sisters."
As Mutuassim Washington next year, the US Ambassador to Libya wrote visited, are "Mutuassim the desire, Washington this spring visit and meeting with his seemingly overweening focus U.S. Government top officials and signing a number of agreements at least in part by a strong sense of competition with Saif al-Islam driven."
Recently suggested in an interview with the Pan Arab news channel Al-Arabiya, Saadi, that Seif before the revolt had already been "the person.", every day in Libya the Mr Koussa, the former top adviser to Colonel Qadhafi used to run the show the host, last week removed a character as a leader of the old guard Seif of suspicious and had been against a reform.
A diplomat familiar said discussions in which the proposal however was beginning. Despite the evidence of deep inner dissatisfaction, Colonel Qadhafi seems to think that rebellion against him is a foreign conspiracy by Islamist radical and oil hungry Western powers trying to Libya take, said the diplomat. And the rebels, who have established their own provisional Government, continue to insist on the exit of the power of Colonel Qadhafi and his sons.
