, the Libyan leader, made an unexpected appearance in Green Square, speaking to a crowd of his supporters.'We can defeat any aggression if necessary and arm the people,' Gaddafi said, in footage that was aired Libyan state television on Friday.
'You, the youth, be comfortable… dance, sing, stay up all night,' he said.
His last speech, on Thursday evening, had been made by phone, leading to speculation about his physical condition.
The footage aired on Friday, however, showed the leader standing above the square, waving his fist as he spoke.
His speech came even as thousands of protesters against his regime across Libya focused their attention on the capital on Friday afternoon, following the midday prayer.
