Libyan opposition launches its own television station
The Libyan opposition has set up its own television station in the Qatari capital Doha to report on the conflict in its own country. According to its initiators, Libya TV is working closely with the opposition National Transitional Council in Libya.
Libya TV is due to go on air shortly. The channel will be run by a group of professional Libyans from all over the world and other Arab experts, according to a statement by the initiators. According to the statement, Libya TV will report on the Libyan revolution and general developments in the country as well as the situation in the Arab world.
The Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera is also based in Doha. Qatar supports the opposition in Libya and, like the United Arab Emirates, is also involved in the international military mission in the North African country.
