Moammar Gadhafi meeting earlier in the day with tribal elders in a hotel in the capital &#8212; marking the Libyan leader&#8217;s first public appearance in nearly two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The leader met with tribal elders in Tripoli a few hours ago, and this proves the perseverance and permanence of the Libyan nation and its leader,&#8221; the announcer said. &#8220;God willing, they are victorious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The camera panned from a television program bearing the date May 11 to the group of more than a dozen men, including Gadhafi.<\/p>\n<p>The TV appearance was the first for Gadhafi &#8212; who was wearing sunglasses and dressed in dark clothing &#8212; since April 30, the same day a NATO airstrike hit the Tripoli compound reportedly housing him and one of his sons. Libyan officials said at the time that Saif al-Arab Gadhafi was killed, but his father had escaped.<\/p>\n<p>Libyan television ran a banner that said he was meeting with tribal elders. The camera showed a seated Gadhafi speaking to the men, who were also seated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let me tell you something, dear leader,&#8221; one of the men says. &#8220;I swear to God you will surely win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Libyan government spokesman Musa Ibrahim had said earlier in the day that Gadhafi was &#8220;alive, well, and very healthy.&#8221; Ibrahim added that Gadhafi had been targeted three times by NATO airstrikes and that government officials were worried about his safety. &#8220;We need him to lead, to be safe,&#8221; Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Wednesday, the chief operations officer of NATO&#8217;s Operation Unified Protector told reporters in Brussels, Belgium, that the organization had no evidence about what Gadhafi was doing. &#8220;And I tell you the truth, we&#8217;re not really interested in what he is doing,&#8221; Brig. Gen. Claudio Gabellini said. &#8220;Our mandate is to protect civilians from the attacks and from the threat of attacks so we&#8217;re not looking after individuals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NATO took over the mission to protect Libyan civilians authorized by a United Nations resolution and is using airstrikes to target installations that may be used to facilitate attacks against civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Gabellini said that NATO is targeting military objectives, not individuals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNN&#8217;s Barbara Starr contributed to this story.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/rss.cnn.com\/~r\/rss\/edition_africa\/~3\/_2_jeMSAdKU\/index.html\" title=\"After nearly 2 weeks out of sight, Gadhafi appears on Libyan TV\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">After nearly 2 weeks out of sight, Gadhafi appears on Libyan TV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> STORY HIGHLIGHTS Libyan leader Col.
