| [MAGHAREBIA] Mahdi al-Harati, an Irish-Libyan who commanded rebel groups in Libya and Syria, was elected mayor of Tripoli on Wednesday (August 6th), AFP reported, citing state news agency Lana. Faith and inshallah! Al-Harati, 41, who spent 20 years in Ireland and married an Irish woman, was chosen by the Libyan capital's new municipal council, voted in on May 17th. He returned to Libya in 2011, founding a brigade in western Libya that fought its way to the capital. |
