All language subtitles for [SubtitleTools.com] Omar Mukhtar - Lion of the Desert

In this power 20th century, almost every nation in the world has at some time been in conflict, the empresses and the empressed, the victors and the vanquished

The people of war are tragic entightment of our civilization

At time, when much of the world was looking for ways to increase their influence, power and riches

Political reasons, restoration of the glory that was Rome

In 1911, Italy joins the hunt for terriroty

Libia on the other side of the Mediterranean sea is the target. Landings were made at Tripoli

then Ghazi, Zvona, Cert, Dona and Trubak

The local population fighting on many fronts, made fierce and resolute resistence to the invaders thus bringing the war to a stale-mate

1922 saw a dramatic change in Italy

The beginning of Mussolini's era of dictatorship

The conflict in Libia escalated as more and more fascists might was thrown against the scithening resistance of the local population

"We will overcome them"

and then we will take the fact of fascism to the Rome"

Ready charge

More... More... I don't understand

If we defeated the Beduins, why are we still hanging?

Why do I have to fort troups even when victory is upon

All I wish my generals will try to distinguish,

one telling me of their glorious victory

and one telling me of their defeats

Can't go on.. I will not let this go on

give

This green is ever green

That's your gile

The rest is brown paper

just need someone bold enough to roll up

Grechiani

come with me

20 years

20 true years we wasted on this war

I sent 5 governors to Libia in 5 years

Not... no military logic of fascism will not compromise

Its wrong with Alway, Giadi, Baynets, Banu, Don

What we are fighting in reality is just tribesmen, ghosts

I want their leader brought here and the revolution crushed

What's his name?
Omar Muktar

Omar?
Omar Muktar?

Omar Muktar

You know general

those Columnists that we sent over pacific from the south

they cost us leader for leader almost as if we put them up in grand hotel

Now something must be wrong

No... I will have a handful of Beduins stop the progress of a forty million battallions

I'll give you Libia then

least have a name that will frighten them

May I shed duty when i crush their belly

I do so with a clear conscience

What did Muktar do before the rebellion?

He was a Teacher

A Teacher?
Yes

I was a Teacher

Be careful you don't end up as the five who went before you,

taught by him

Well, I'm the man who likes action...
Go to Libia

General

Bring me back Muktar

driven or bring his neck

In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful

It is the God of Mercy who has meant in the Quran,

he created man and told him speech

He set the sun and the moon in their courses

He raised the sky up and sat the balance of whole things

Stop right there

Why do we think we begin every chapter of the Quran with

God, the merciful?

Because, one of the names of God is mercy

mercy.. thats right

And how.. how does God show his mercy?

He taught.. taught people how to speak

How to speak.. thats right.. yes

And then there was something helse in what we wear

could anybody... anybody... can you tell me what that was?

it was... it was...
let me give you a hint

it was the what?
it was the balance
that's right.. that's right

then why.. why did God set that balance?

Boys... Boys... why did God set the balance?

because.. because.. without the balance everything would fall

here.. let me see that much you read...

everything get fall apart

take it to your father

Where's the Omar?

Yes Matari, what is the news?

A new governor.. again?

They come like lions and go back home like worn-out goods

well, who is it this time?
Grechiani

the butcher of the Zion

Grechiani... It was only a question of time before they let him loose on us

It will mean you offensive

My father used to say: "Bellows don't break your back"

"Strengthen it"

It was so Grechiani, some spine

It tells me that Grechiani loves blood

I don't like to believe those stories

bring the attack to

When is he expected?
They decorate in Bengasi for him

Senmorite, Senmorine, his excellency, General Grechiani, governor of Sirinika

his royal highness, prince of Adol, duke of Pausta

Gentlemen, thank you.
But the ladies are present

we should be at ease.
Let the dancing continue

General
Colonel Bercent

Senuri-tamate

Colonel Deodechi Sir

Ah yes...

Deodechi, I read reports on you.
They say that you could make friends with Beduins with a hand-shake

I'm not so sure that I like that it implies that the rest of them are strangled to make peace

Sir, there are 5000 displeased Beduines outside my force

I have no food for them. I've difficulty controlling them and they need

...what you need Colonel
What you need

is to be a little bold for that

Who is that man?

Sheriff Agiani

He's quite used to us, old friend of Omar Muktar

peaceful, you say?

Bring him here

I think you will find that you can rely on him

General Grechiani
may I present his excellency, Sheriff Agiani

I understand that you did your man Omar Muktar..
I did

What would it take to get him to surrender?

I don't know
Even as a boy, he was terribly stubborn

But the price could be of help in any way, I should be very willing to agree

You'll find that we could be terribly generous

Tenant Engineeri, urgent message sir

Can't it wait? you see you are disturbing my guests

Excuse me gentlemen.
They say, the flagman has lost his manor while sleeping on his despatch

What is this?
Another waster of minova?

How many dead at this time?
20 dead 50 wounded sir

And they let him go again
yes, sir
But, this time, he was seen

He was seen? How do they knew he was seen when nobody know him, how do they knew he was seen?

It was only for a moment sir.
But they are sure. It was Muktar

I suppose I should decorate them just for being brave to have seen Muktar

There could be.. There could be.. Could be anywhere..

Tumani, I want you to use it, fast, how hard a hitting force is and you could

take whatever Omar Muktar was like

I'm disgusted that we have never seen him

go for his blood
go for his circulation
go for the revolution that is inside every Beduin

Muktar's been fighting chance
3 months ran with him

and next 3 months peaceful times

Tumani, no peace

Hameed, take your brother

be at
be at
be at

those 3 at the end there

...and ...and ...and

you two

...and ...and ...and

yea...

let young go...

Some of you have conflicts,

instead of good 3 months
...with Muktar

you go to your useful labor

while you be out of chawla

give the half of the gift to Muktar

burn half of everything

Its a bullet would sir

You were shot running with Muktar, weren't you?

what have you to say?

what have you to say?

Beduin?

Well, you wrote it on yourself
Execute him

Not, not out there. Here
Let them see it

In the name of God,
give him time to pray

you are old, be careful

Aisha

Aisha

ma, I must do something

Oh God

I must do something

my family, they burnt its tree

I saw what happen, my brother and Aisha

then look at my father.
I'm going to see Omar

Its not your turn yet

I became old enough today mother

Hameed

I need you

They must pass through here

start this ground

out there
that is it

How, you can't hide a lizard out there.

Ustad Omar

Ejid

Check the other side

Sir, at last we got them, where we want them

Let's crack it of them, move it

Lets go

He's there.

Mount

They'r running. Put your foot down

They'r on a trap
we must warn Tumani

You hear that?

Its Leutinant Adri sir

what the hell he is doing?

may be warning shots sir

all stop

all stop

Geytuari, do you see anything?

no, nothing sir

nothing

They are getting away. we have them in our hands

full persuit

Look at those machines

We do not kill prisoners
do them not

They are not our teachers

He's a boy

Here

Tell your general it does not belong here

My husband...

I have... I have brought his book home

never turned his back on...

come here

what is your name?
Ali

Oh, yes Ali

This is yours

This is your book now

you tell your mother to keep it for you

Do not let him see you crying too much

for they will carry on the fight

He truly should remember him strong, with confidence

never broken

go inside

Let us go and see the camp Ali

This is my friend, Ali

He is Umatari
He is a little boy just like you

He is in Kufr, far away, in the desert

he misses me. We have some work to do

careful...

Oh... Is that supposed to be me? How do I look?

Go to bed back.
Otherwise, I cannot win

you go... you go to the tent over there

wiped out.. one Leutinant...

and one scout out...

that is all its left of the fighting force

I did not come to Libia to be stunned by Bandits

Senorite Tumani is going to be left in his conffins

This young boy saved our honor by coming back with the flag

sir...
yes yes yes, you will be decorated with the medal of honor

I've never in my career lost a fight

Gentlemen, I will repeat once in perfect to you

We will not be in fight with Muktar or 200 of his men here or 50 of his men there

we are fighting a population

I am therefore taking the first 3 final steps

straight to eliminate rebellion in this economy

Its really quite simple and really should have been thought out before

I propose to concentrate on the Beduins

concentrate them?

Yes, put them in a high walled camps and keep them there until we find prudent and safe to release them

No need of any pity for them
They have brought this upon themselves

We will fill their wells, we will burn their fuels,

we will destroy their trees
we will turn their land brown

Now, if they cannot live with it, they'll leave it

And.. if we meet the resistance?
you answer it prompty with your own punishment for rebellion

Thats the message

Turn around

As mutinists and rebels,
you will be decimated

One... Two... Three...

Nine... Ten...

They've taken everybody

Who can fight such a war?

Not against army but against innocent people

people will be dieing in those camps and compounds

people will be dieing without food, without any choice

or was it my fault?
indirect choice?

look what they did

[ raised the sky up and set the balance of all things ]

Its the Omar

No

We will be massacred

you have a chance to get away
Take it

Go with this mare
Don't think of it

Go... Go...

Ali

Ali

Up behing me
Up behind me

Go back.. Go back for that boy

The horse won't take too
His mare knows that

Hurry up Ustad Omar

So, you are the brave young man

The brave young man who saved Muktar from me

why did you do it?
you are young

you had your whole life behind it

Tell me
Would you want to live?

come on

I want him to live more

You will make a fine soldier

Would you think of joining us?
You earn more with us lion prince

you will corrupt him

Get him out of here
Give him Riyals, fruit, honey.. whatever

Don't harm him
Hang him..
in the morning

Desert is their home, General
I'd be careful.. next

You may be next to him, even if its a small paragraph in a newspaper in Rome

You touch my strength Prince

A gain in the mind of Rome

is more important to me than the generation of men of Libia

And what happens if you are... you are forgotten in Rome and

you are remembered in Libia?

Why do you worry so much about that?
you see, we will write the history
Libia is our crown of thorns

Libia is our career

locate it

locate it

Its always the same
We can never persue them in the desert

I must conquer the desert as much on a crusade

from here to here
Simple.. isn't it?

No, its not

But, its only empty desert

There's nothing there, just wind and sand,

not even much opposition

what can you get from it?
worry for Rome

an extension of the Emperor and finding the revolution to the mountain

my name, a new page in military history

seize it as quiteful as offense

I will surprise you

come in

Diatich, now is your time. Please sit down

The man who can make peace with a hand-shake

Do it now....

Hands across the desert

I wish to instigate peace talks with his excelleny

Omar Muktar

That will not be so easy now.
Now, you will do it, won't you?

And what are the pre-conditions for talks with Omar Muktar?

No pre-conditions. The whole of Libia is open to discussion. Look at it

Look at it

We go to the conference table with no pre-mind or not

He fought us for 20 years.
We are anamoly, he knows

He'll sack all our promises

20 years is too long. I mean can you imagine escaping hanging for 20 years and you can't win just hoping to keep on

Its a war. It's a hope man would be mad

to get on his high horse to back false promises.

When may I... your excellency's man sit down with him?

When you talk to Omar Muktar, it must be with the speed of the tesh

Regress whether you are talk or not. Interest in your tie-in

Yes, I will try

Thank you very much

Thank you for coming at very short notice
It was very kind of you

Thank you

Well, let us settle this.
Duditch is not the right man.

He will offer. But Muktar can't take

and Muktar will ask what he can't give

which makes me think, you want things go long

No

I want some fair chance, I want some peace course

I want to win that peace

But sometimes Prince when you are strong, it means natural conquest is not enough

He won't give me peace
But he will give me time

what I need is time

So, thats what he looks like

After all these years, we are the first to see him

The Old Lion!

Colonel Duditchi?
yes sir

Please

This side

Curnel Barilo, military Governor of Merch!

This is Commissionor Roberto, has come directly from Rome for advice and assistance

You invited us here to talk

We are here

You Excellency,
it is my one wish

to see the Italian and the Arab together in the Solopian desert

I could see a future of common cause, give and take of character skill,

our civilization and your culture

in marriage of virtues

I want observators to come from Tunisia or Egypt

to witness any agreements between us

... as for as I am concerned

Out of the question Duditch

He is seeking International Recognition, as if the Beduins were an independent nation which they are not

They are subjects within our province

Our arguments are not within nations, but between Italians

We cannot permit outside interference in our internal affairs

They why must you represent this. We are not Italians, and do not tell us who we are

We were born where we were born only by the will of God

and only by our own mothers. We are not you

And who will come as Foreign Observators later uh?

As yet, nothing written, nothing witnessed

But, we have written

You must have muslime schools..
Oh, yes

no question. Freedom of education, no question

The schools will be re-opened

We must have some form of national protection

We must have our National Parliament..
Your Parliament is a matter for Rome

This tent is not the place

Why not?
You pitched it, no conditions you said, no limits, no conclusions,

everything open on this table in this tent

Let us say that, at present we will note your demand for the parliament

Mark it well

The confiscated lands must be given back

well...

I wouldn't say confiscated lands

I would say lands reserved for settlement and cultivation, lands to be developed

To be developed by Italians?

I tell you there is no space 20 years.
For years, the land would be packed with people

Why do you think we fight you?
But, the new settlements will provide employment

as long as you take our lands, as long as where I was born, we must fight you

must?
yes, we must

But, I have it on religious authority that your Quran does not allow you to fight a war you cannot win

Now, you are going to interpret our religion first...

The Book leaves no doubt.
It is our duty to God to defend ourselves

against those who have driven us out of our homes

I think this might be a good time to adjourn
We are in no hurry

why are you delaying?

Your excellency, we are obliged to refer your demands to Rome

On 3rd, the next meeting, we will give you their answer and make our proposal

Atleast.. Atleast we know that we all want the blood-shed between us to end

An Italian Invasion...

The first use of aircraft in combat,

the first Portekts of the desert

history will mark that gentlemen

What we need was time.
Now, we have achieved that time

with talk peace
with a lot of weapons

1. Omar Muktar's men will come under the command of Italian Officer

Go on...

2. The Italian Government will pay monthly salary to these men

Go on

Go on...

The Government reserves the right to punish any persons who committed a crime before this agreement

Omar Muktar will have no right to protect such persons

4.
These terms mean dis-honour
Absolute surrender

That even subjects for discussion

The Italian Government undertakes to pay Omar Muktar a pension of 50,000 Lirahs a month

and to provide him with a comfortable house

Do I deserve so much?

I've been so successful to offer me 50,000 Lirahs a month?

You know, by offering me bribes, you are insulting me

Your excellency,
I made that proposal

Believe me..

It was not an attempt to bribe you

only to make your retirement
comfortable

How can I be comfortable when my people are in concentration camps?

and where is this General who bombs and burns and hangs?

Why has be never come here?

Once he sees this agreement between us

General Gotchiani will be happy to see you

I do not want to see him.
I want to see the last of him

And why is he landing troups?
Where is he going? to the last Oasis?

6000 drums of water

He is going to Kufra

He never wanted peace.
All you wanted was time

We will be with Gotchiani

If you will not come to these terms, I'll promise you immediately terrible war

Oh I know the power of your Government, the power you threatens with...

we've stood against you for 20 years
... and with the help of God

we will stay with you till your end

I knew this conclusion would....

poor folks
They think they can ride against the Golden Army

Its Kufra, no question

those soldiers and machines, all going to Kufra

Gotchiani is doing what no one has ever done
he's putting tanks in a desert

The tanks... that is insane

Gotchiani is marching south to Kufra
We, attack North.
We throw him back

We must fight him for Kufra

Sometimes, it is braver not to die. If it is lost, country is not lost

We know your family is there

But, to defend Kufra is to die there

I must go

Yes, yes you must

Are you ready to platter them?
Yes sir

Good... We've been given help

Colonel Andriani, open fire

Go now

Fire everything on them

Borm it on their front

Murderers

What are you doing?
Consolute Gotchiani's orders

No retreat, we fight and die here

Gentlemen
This is Kufra

The seizure of Kufra has hurt us deeply

it has closed the south

The only road for military supplies is across the Egyptian Border

We are in desperate need of supplies, food...

Hilgariani's coming up the Merch Road

How many?
Three
They are flying white flags

Let them in

We will finish later

Sheriff Hilgariani

To come through, we have to use the Italian cars

you sound and comfortable?
We want to talk to you alone

What we have to say cannot be said in public

Then, it is not to be said to me

Omar, why do you not surrender?
We've obtained the best terms you can from the Italians

Mohamed will re-direct a safe conduct out of the country

safe conduct?
Where to?
Egypt

To Egypt... To hide with his brother

You are the only sonusi left in this country

I look at it

Just... just look at him

But, my people have fought
to defend your own privileges

Where are you now?

Omar Muktar... The Italians are shrewdness.
You better get back to them

My friend.. they are the Government of this country

No, they take this land by day,

but by God we take it back by night

Omar Muktar, you are alone

cut off from the rest of this country,
isolated from the rest of the world

In the legal nations, it will not speak

and if they should not listen, noone would care

This battle is not being fought in the league of nations, this battle is being fought here on this land

Omar, you cannot win this war

Your blood against their metal?

Every man has to die his own day... and he truly lives

your children are starving, dieing in the concentration camps

dieing... because you persist in fighting

yes... yes they are... as in this war

but not one of them betrays me

not one has asked me to surrender
because they know and I know that if I surrender, I betray them

Omar, you and I grew up together.
Don't you remember 70 years ago, we were boys together

yes, yes I remember

Look how far apart we have grown

This may the last chance you have for seeking an honourable peace

They steal our land, they destroy our homes, they kill innocent people

and you call it peace?

I will not be corrupted by that man's peace

Perhaps we should go.
Yes, I think you should

yes you should

Matluka?
yes

a lot...

Yes, we seek with the Omar

I've prepared it for you

Once after he showed him in the battle, he gave it to me

The bright boy?

Will you be back?

yes

but not for some time

go

go now

Up you get
come on
out

her child is sick sir
I don't care

you are accused of giving aid, confort and sustainance to the rebels in the mountain

Do you admit these capited crimes?

So, you are admitting your guilt

you will all hang by your necks

until you are dead

As the holder of 'Medal of Honour' Leutinant, you will have the privilege
of giving the order for the execution

No

What did you say?
You will do your duty Leutinant

I did not join the army to hang women, sir

Very well... Leutinant Chandrini, you will consider yourself under arrest

Cend your God for the lives of the given

What am I to do?
You refuse duty

In-subordination is a very serious offence

When your officer starts crype options, you were to learn, do you?

I'm prepared to answer to the Court Marshall sir

Indeed... and I am not prepared to loose one of my Colunists for news here

Here are all I created
I will not give you the pleasure nor the publicity of a Court Marshall Cendrini

As an officer, you were taught to obey orders without questions

...Yes sir, but
You can't dispute with me

The State has needs that out-way the conscious of an individual,

the demand that goes beyond individual intelligence, isn't it be?

yes sir

You will report to Assasi for duty in the mountains

I will give you the honour of dieing for the service

Get this stuff loaded

سالم، تولى أمر البراميل

Zailab, take care of the tanks

I will drop the Benzene

Gentlemen, this time he won't get away

First, we take the bridge
get our men behind him
artilery in front of him

then we pound him into submission
The bridge sir, I'm surprised that Muktar hasn't tried to cut it

That's because he's an artful fighter, not an educated one,

he didn't go to military academy like you gentlemen

Now is the time, we tank him at date

Take the bridge

Sargeant, take the bridge

All clear

Right, check the next bridge
I will hold this one here

He is careful

He is showing his naive

That is bait
We should have blown up the bridge

No

He has come close, we must stop him

Give the signal

Did you see?

The mice

they could never resist the cheese, could they?

Prepare the artilery to open fire

Bust them

Now, send in the army

Now, he has made his move

Look, over there

Ambush

Now

He is good

He is good

This old man is good

My dear General

My dear dear General
I hoped you are the man who share some of your credit that

after all I chose you

I hope to say that I can...
you can only hope you won
you are the most fortunate man in this room

I have physically moved the war from the desert into the mountains

The last man into the enemy now run into whole three, find ourselves into a position whereby we are

forced to pull them out by their necks one by one

Dutchia, I didn't know

I know

You are having difficulties

you don't have problems with them being in the mountains

I didn't seem to have an enemy to fight, yet they attack and assasinate

I mean, they have no form and they have form that I could beat them with form

but they have no continuity of movement
no fixed point position

I haven't have to come to Dutchia

I have a radical solution

A New Hadrian's Wall

except

Adrian used his walls to shut the Barbarians Out

I mean to shut them in

I propose Dutchia to fence in Libia

To run a war, impossible war across the desert,
from the Mediterranean to the shores of this sea of moving sand

It will cut the enemies off from his supplies out of Egypt and cut him off from his retreat into Egypt

Dutchi, Dutchi! Hundreds of miles of barbed wire

But, is it possible to know the cost?
Why do you question Adrian's Wall?

Remember, it was Adrian's Wall that kept the Romans in Britain 100 years longer

How many bullets have you?
12

At this rate, we will be soon down to fighting them with stones

How long can we last?

a months time

Nothing has got through for months

We are fighting barbed wire

Wire will win
While it takes high spirit

Only then

yes yes the wire is menace

It is... It is around our neck

but it is God, not Gotchiani that decides what becomes of us

What is the will of wire compared to the will of God?

They have 3 million guns, we have one

They are going up to Becoz sir
They were trying to get through wire cutters and 5000 arms of ammunition

well

This is that
Now, they have to trickle from the concentration camps

We will tie it up gentlemen

We will tie it up

Go.. Go... We will hold them off

Its suicide sir
They tied their legs so that they cannot run

No

No

You are taken in arms

you.. shoot him

There are more in there. Follow them up

Go on

You took him. Shoot him

You idiot
I said... shoot him

Where is he?

well?

yes

I confirm with the identification

He is Omar Muktar

I don't trust I am seeing him like this

How can you say that?

He lead the rebellion against us for 20 years

As a battle ememy, Omar Muktar should be treated by us

with dignity and with respect

with respect?
He should have been whipped all the way here

You forget yourself sir

Sir

Is there anything I can do for you?

If you will allow me a little water, I can make myself ready for prayers

of course

and the chains while I pray
out of the question

He only wants to pray
I am too old to try more sir

to fight bare-handed

Remove his chains for an hour
On your own responsibility sir?

Yes

Bring the water

Thank You

No

No need

I have come a long way to meet you

Now, you must wait

I want to ask you one question

You did you keep going at this alone?

I assure you that you cannot try it out because of the religion?

we fought you

that was enough

But you care nothing about the nation or your country

you are the ruining nation of my country

What would you do if someone occupied your land?

Did you ever think your attacks will seem to us as ambush?

Lead it by night
Destruction by day

threats against farmers
farming in our land

Libia is not your country
You have no right in it, not to a pasture of one cow, not one minute of right

Italy has as much right as anybody else

England has right to Egypt
France to Tunicia and Algeria

Spain to Moracus

The Pentagon have opted to agree

We have hundreds of years of right here

So, you will take everything from us
and you want me to justify your tax?

No nation has the right to occupy another

We are back here, thats all - Imm
No one can deny us

Meet the date in this coin

Its a coin of the Cesars, dated, minted in Libia

You will also find Greek, Turkish, Tunician coins

all over Libia you will find them,

buried in our sand

Yes, I had forgotten

You are short sighted, aren't you?

Your spectacles I believe

the day they brought them to me
I knew you wouldn't be too far behind

My spectacles
have bought you prisoners

That will not be real
Take them back
Here...

Yes, it does have an interesting past
you don't try to buy too much with it today

I learnt it... like the glory is not permanent

But I respect your past
and you must respect ours

It too have a history and science, mathematics and medicine

In your dark ages,
we lead the world to learn

How many days will it take you to arrange the surrender of your men?

we will never surrender

we win or we die

and don't think that it stops there

We will have the next generation to fight,
and after that the next,
and next

As for me, I will live longer than my hang-man

What makes you think I am to hang you? Um?

I made suit my papers better to pension you

If I hang you, I won't want the risk of having the open trial

But, on the other hand, you are the prime example

You can only do to me what God decides for me

These chains are uncomfortable?

Yes, uncomfortable effects

Sit Down

Thank You

...Do you know... I had always hoped

but you and I ...
in-packable enemies

and sit down on the day of your capture and discuss like Cesar ...

General
Omar Muktar cannot give you the conquest of Cesar
I never wanted you to do this alone

I mean knowing each other will do
an idea
come to us and we'll release you

and today's the day I work for you?

Why don't you ask me with your life,

I am guilty!

and then...

What do I give you?

my coloboration?

No

No

You are too late for bargains Muktar

You are far too later

I have not asked you for my life

Do not tell the world, in the privacy of this room I asked you for my life

No, I will not do that

I will not lie about you

You are a man of king

Let us see if you can keep that courage tomorrow

Rope of your justice is always hanging in front of me General

Have him fed now
I wish my enemies to be regluded

Instruct the President of the Court that he must be hanged in front of his people

They must be there

Omar Muktar, you are accused

of open rebelliong against the lawful Government

of your country

What age are you?

73

Are you the head of the forces in Libia fighting against Italy?

Yes, I am

Have you taken part in attacks on Italian Soldiers?

Yes, I have

For how long, have you taken part in attacks on Italian Soldiers?

20 years

How many attacks?

No... I... I couldn't remember the number

Ordering the torturing and murdering of Italian Prisoners?

I did not

Never

You were captured with arms in your hands

Yes, I was

The enemy was insulted

In the field, I would reason it

... but here

I am obliged to

I am appointed to defend him

You are an old man

older, than all of us here

and I will not abuse you with too many questions

Did you ever submit to the Italian Authority?

I did not

Did you ever receive money or other subsidy from the Italian Government?

as a condition of good behaviour?

I did not

Never

I declare

that Omar Muktar never submitted to us

never took subsity from us

never recognize our right to rule in this colony

He cannot therefore,
illogic or justice betrayed by us as a rebel

When we captured Omar Muktar,
after 20 years of battles

we are morally obliged to do with him
as a prisoner of war

Quiet... Silence in Court

Captain Antono, you were ordered to defend this rebel against the charge of treason

You have over-stepped your orders

The sentence on you Omar Muktar

is that by HANGING

we execute this sentence

as agreed by the military tribunal Thengiazi

on the 15th day of September 1931
year 9 of the Fascist Theorm

Omar Muktar, you have been found guilty of high treason
both morally and materially

on staging the rebellion against the Italian Government of this Colony

Your sentence passed by the Court
thereby hanging in a public place

will now be carried out

making Nasiyath
to be hanged by the hands of the enemies

Untie him

we will never surrender

we win or we die

We will have the next generation to fight,
and after that the next,
and next

As for me, I will live longer than my hang-man
