Dead Libyan activist ranked 5th in list of world’s most powerful Arabs


The Libyan activist credited with bringing global attention to the killings in the country has been voted the world’s fifth most influential Arab, in the annual Power 500 list published by Arabian Business on Sunday.

Mohammed Nabbous was an information technologist, blogger, businessperson and civilian journalistcivilianwho created and founded Libya Al Hurra TV. It was the first independent broadcast news organization since Gaddafi took power in Libya. Libya AlHurra TV was established in Benghazi, Libya on 19 February 2011 and started broadcasting online when Nabbous established a two-way satellite connection in the wake of a complete Internet blackout imposed by the Gaddafi regime subsequent to the 17 February protests. In the last weeks of his life, Nabbous focused on bringing international attention to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Libya, with his reports being widely reported by western media organisations, and seen by leading politicians across Europe and the USA.

Mohammed Nabbous was just 28 years old when he was killed last year in Benghazi, by a Pro-Gaddafi sniper and killed on 19 March 2011 while reporting on the fighting in the city. Since his death, many experts in Libya and the west have credited Nabbous for his pivotal role in bringing the world’s attention to the killings in Gaddafi.
