On the eve of February 22 Muammar Gaddafi appeared on national television. In his address to the people, he said that he does not have a post that he could leave. He is not the president, he is the leader of the revolution - and he will die as a martyr in this land, said Gaddafi, speaking in front of his residence in Tripoli.
