Al-Mujabri concluded by saying that in the Libyan newspaper Al-Anbaa, we do
not have red or yellow lines towards dealing with the issues of the homeland and the citizen, except for the two national pillars, which are the unity of Libya, the integrity of its lands, its national security, the sanctity of Libyan blood, and commitment to the values of the profession and the ethical journalistic message before professionalism.

He pointed out that the news on our platforms will speak for itself without an intermediary or transmitter, stressing that LANA has no time between occurrence and speaking and it also has ‘the homeland’s news from the homeland of the news.’
