Libya Reunifies Official State News Agency 'LANA'
2021-03-23
War Peace is Hell.
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Sunday, the Libyan Media Corporation, headed by Mohammed Baio, announced that it had reunified the western and eastern-based Libyan Arab News Agency (LANA).In a statement, the Corporation said the decision aims to end a seven year-split between the two official narratives, one representing the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
-based Government of National Accord (GNA), and another representing the eastern-based Libyan Parliament.

The two conflicting narratives were very divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
, and contributed greatly to disrupting social cohesion.

It added that the decision also stipulated that a temporary management committee for the agency will be formed. This is until the formation of the agency’s full board of directors, as stipulated in its establishment law No. 17 issued in 1964.

Baio praised what he described as the, "spirit of patriotism showed by the agency’s administrations, officials, and workers, which reflects the positive climate prevailing in Libya after the formation of the new executive authority in the country."
