In an interview with the American news channel Fox News, aired on 12.4.2011, is presented to the world public the Libyan "Prince Idris Al-Senussi," go member of the royal family, in 1969, when Muammar al Gaddafi seized power, exiled had. Prince Idris had already committed "decades" for the opposition.
The interviewer comes straight to the point: The alleged prince who is supposedly with people "on the ground", ie on-site contact, may speak for the whole of Libya on Fox News; under the royal flag ("one flag, one state") will the country be united again soon, so the Libyan Blaublütler.
"Prince" Idris turns dramatically in the United States and NATO. There is a lack of ammunition and training, NATO and the United States would have to become more involved. The Libyan people expect of the USA as a major power behind NATO more "interference". "Please step up their military operations" ("Please step up your military operations"), "give us weapons so we take power and can get rid of Gaddafi. "
The request of the Prince could not be clearer. There's only one problem: The man is no prince, but an impostor, what everyone can find out with a minimum of research. He lives in London and Rome, since 1969 was no longer in Libya, has to do with oil and gas operations. To his royal fantasy story more equal.
Television pictures show the Libyan rebels always with the same flag - the former King Idris al Mahdi el Senussi. Libya's royal history goes in brief as follows:
The country was 1911-12 Italian by an Italian-Turkish war colony. 1943, the Italians and their side came Germans were defeated by the Engländen and Britain - now supremacy in the Middle East - continued in 1951 ado Idris from the family of Sanussi (... N originates from the 8th century BC derived) as a king.
Idris, the British puppet King, thanked him with generous concessions of any kind to the British: They smell air, land and naval bases in the provinces of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica set. 1954 and the Americans received an Air Force base in Wheelus. Moreover Idris granted from 1959, after the discovery of large oil deposits, generous Ölbohrlizenzen for ExxonMobil, Eni, AGIP and BP.
But then came 1969 Gadafi and another 50 officers: They deposed the king remarkably bloodless and all foreign military bases had to disappear from Libya. BP was summarily nationalized and all remaining foreign oil companies had to pay "Bohrgebühren" now much higher.
The "grand-nephew" of the last Libyan king also named "Idris" and heir apparent has now declared his intention to return to his homeland. The Sanussi-he favored a constitutional monarchy.
According to an article in the New Vork Times v. 29/03/1991 "Prince" Idris was trained 20 years ago, about 600 rebels of American Geheindienstberatern to destabilize the regime of Gaddafi. After the former Miss Prince Idris cared more about the fighters. In February this year reaffirmed stationed in Rome "Prince" Idris, it would return "at the appropriate moment" to Libya. The "World Tribune" reported on 21.3.2011, before Operation Odyssey Dawn had already traveled twice Idris talks with senior government officials and members of Congress to Washington. British, French and Saudi official had started well with attempts to contact.
"Prince" Idris's full name is Sayyid Idris bin Abdullah al-Senussi. However, the late Libyan king had no children. The of the media and Western governments courted "pretenders" bears no kinship relation to the deceased monarch: However, the third wife of his father, was a niece of the brother of the old king ...
This did the enterprising "prince" and businessman not stop them from keeping in the 1990s in London court and socialize. The game went well for a while, Idris sought proximity of parliamentarians from Nobeligen as Prince Michael of Kent, whose secretary he wanted to clamp on his own behalf for lobbying. Until the bubble burst and there was a trial, during which a needle expert has been called for a genealogical report. David Willi Mason was loud "Royalty" (The Prince and the Pretender announced) Vol 14 No.2 1995. "Prince Muhammad Al-Senoussi is the rightful heir." (the latter is the great-nephew of the king). In court in London Idris had to be called cheaters and imposters.
So unlucky for Idris. If this does not know, invite Idris repeatedly Fox and CNN reporter? Of course, they know it. But as long as it is the interests of the War Rufer helpful, you will certainly continue to let him play his game.
