Libya After Gadhafi: Transitioning from Rebellion to Rule | STRATFOR. "Between the seizure of former Gadhafi arms depots and the arms provided to the rebels by outside powers, Libya is awash with weapons. If the NTC fractures like past rebel coalitions, it could set the stage for a long and bloody civil war — and provide an excellent opportunity to jihadist elements." Also, I tell you that GADDAFI could say, like CEAUSESCU at his mock-trial in 1989, that "foreign agencies (and traitors) have destabilized the country, for a coup d'état."

Libya After Gadhafi: Transitioning from Rebellion to Rule | STRATFOR

Also, I tell you that GADDAFI could say, like CEAUSESCU at his mock-trial in 1989, that "foreign agencies (and traitors) have destabilized the country, for a coup d'état."

"Agenturili straine...", a zis "un pretin" de-al lui GADDAFI.

Now, anglophones, let's read about your KUDEYTA (or so it sounds as you're mouthing it):
"coup d'état (English: /ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/French: [ku deta]; plural: coups d'état)—also known as a coup,putsch, and overthrow—is the sudden, extrajudicial deposition of a government,[1][2][3] usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another body; either civil or military. A coup d'état succeeds if the usurpers establish their dominance when the incumbent government fails to prevent or successfully resist their consolidation of power. If the coup neither fully fails nor achieves overall success, the attempted coup d'etat is likely to lead to a civil war.
Typically, a coup d'état uses the extant government's power to assume political control of the country. In Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook, military historian Edward Luttwak says, "A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder", thus, armed force (either military or paramilitary) is not a defining feature of a coup d'état."
