One of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi’s personal nurses is planning to leave Tripoli and return to her hometown in Ukraine, Kiev-based newspaper Segodyna reported, citing the woman’s daughter.Galina Kolotnitskaya left home nine years ago to work in Libya, first at a hospital and then as part of Qaddafi’s personal staff, the newspaper reported.
“Mom got in touch with me yesterday,” Tatyana Kolotnitskaya, her daughter, was cited as saying. “She said she’s in Tripoli now. There’s shooting, fighting, basically everything they’re showing on the news. She was speaking in a calm voice and asked me not to worry, and said that soon she’ll be home.”
Tatyana Kolotnitskaya said she didn’t know whether her mother was still with Qaddafi, whose rule over the North African country is in doubt as units of his army defect to join protests.
Qaddafi “has other Ukrainian nurses. My mom is one of them. For some reason, he doesn’t trust Libyan women,” Kolotnitskaya was cited as saying.
