Former Libyan prime minister kidnapped

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Family and friends of the former Libyan Prime Minister, Ali Zeidan, say he has been kidnapped, and for eight days, no one has heard from him. Back in 2013 he was held briefly by a militia when he was still prime minister. At that time, his relationship with several armed groups in Tripoli had deteriorated, because they felt he was trying to diminish their role in the city. Our North Africa Correspondent, Rana Jawad reports.
