2011-03-02 |
[Maghrebia] To express the voice of freedom in areas liberated from Moamer Qadaffy's grip, Libyan journalists seized control of Benghazi-based newspaper Quryna and launched a new publication, they told Magharebia on Sunday (February 27th). Quryna was part of Seif al-Islam's al-Ghad Media Group. The first edition of newspaper Libya al-Hurra also appeared in the city of Misurata. Journalists in Benghazi, however, reported that internet services had been cut off. On Sunday, protestors in Benghazi announced they had formed a National Libyan Council to be the "face" of the revolution. |
