Al-Shams (newspaper)

Al-Shams (meaning the Sun in English) is an Arabic language daily newspaper published in Libya.

History and profile

Al Shams was established in 1962 by Moammar Gadhafi when he was a student. The same year it was closed down. Abdul Hakim Maatouk served as the editor-in-chief of the paper.

In September 2011 the paper temporarily ceased publication following Gadhafi losing control of Tripoli in the 2011 Libyan civil war. The Al-Shams website only showed a blank page at the time. As of 2013 it was affiliated with the Public Press Institution.
