NOTE: Unlike the previous four parts, this one is live video of Ẓawāhirī. It has been quite some time since we have seen Ẓawāhirī live. He may be in a safer place now. This video also features a part from Anwar al ‘Awlaqī’s video last fall “To make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it.” Along with the video, As-Saḥāb Media released an Arabic transcription of it:
Ayman aẓ-Ẓawāhirī — “Fifth Installment of a Message of Hope and Glad Tidings to Our People in Egypt” (Ar)
Here are a few quotes from the below video via Evan Kohlmann’s Twitter feed:

I would like to encourage my brothers in Egypt, especially the tribes in the western desert, to support their brothers in Libya.
If US and NATO forces enter Libya, then their neighbors in Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria… must fight Qadhafi and the NATO crusaders.
