RABAT (Reuters) Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi will discuss domestic policy on Tuesday in what he termed a "secret" speech to high-ranking supporters that will not be broadcast.
Gaddafi has been uncharacteristically quiet on domestic issues in recent months and Tuesday's speech will be the first time he has discussed internal policy since February.
"We will meet tomorrow and the talk and the speech will be secret," he told thousands of supporters, including government officials, military and policy commanders, gathered to mark the 50th anniversary of his Free Unionists Movement on Monday.
"Our meeting tomorrow will focus on our own issues," he said in a speech broadcast live on Libyan state television from the oasis city of Sabha, some 800 km (500 miles) south of Tripoli.
"The address will not be broadcast," he said.
Many Libyans have said they are baffled by Gaddafi's unusual silence regarding Libya's domestic affairs, especially since he failed to address them when he celebrated the 40th anniversary of coming to power on September 1.
Gaddafi has been outspoken on foreign issues, criticizing the U.N. Security Council as tool of big powers and backing cooperation between South America and Africa to counter what he called Western hegemony.

Well said. ;-)
The secret subtitle of his secret speech is “How the Jews are to blame for all our domestic problems - so quite blaming me already”.
