Al-Saadi al-Gaddafi, the son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has voiced strong concerns that if his father followed mounting pressure from world leaders to step down, a civil war would break out immediately.
"If he leaves today, just one hour later...civil war" he told ABC Amercia's Christiane Amanpour in a television interview.
As world leaders' condemnation of the Libyan ruler continues to grow, Gaddafi's other son Saaif has blamed the news media for misrepresenting the situation and says the Libyan government has not used violence.
"Show me a single attack, show me a single bomb," he protested to Amanpour.
"The Libyan air force destroyed just the ammunition sites. That's it."
Saaif Gaddafi also says that his country is calm, and that there is a "big big gap between reality and the media reports."
"We are the victims of miscommunication," he said
Recently world leaders have increased the pressure on Gaddafi to step down, with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Sunday saying, "it is time for Colonel Gaddafi to go and to go now".
