After realising how far behind I'd got with events in Libya I tried to spend yesterday (4/2/12) catching up on that and other things. One of the main sources I've been using to find out about what has been happening in Libya is the Feb17.info website. This US backed project was set up shortly after the Feb 17th revolution and was used to disseminate pro-rebel propaganda in order to generate support for foreign military intervention. However following the fall of Qaddafi it took on a new role aggregating news about Libya - both good and bad - from around the Internet.
I thought this would be a useful resource to continue up until at least June's election. However the people running the site clearly disagreed and it was shut down on it's first anniversary because now the war drums are beating for Syria we've all got to forget about the problems that post-intervention Libya still faces.
