Remember Mohammed Nabbous - known to all as Mo - his mission: to get the news about what’s happening in #Libya out to the world.
Mo was the founder of Libya AlHurra TV and was killed this morning while reporting on the attacks from the pro-Gaddafi forces. He provided regular live reports and recordings at this site: http://www.livestream.com/libya17feb
We often followed him, using his info and news in our reporting. Today, when attacks were reported in Benghazi, I was tuned in to his livestream for hours - at some point this morning he said that he was not afraid to die. And in one his first video’s that I saw, he said:
“I am not afraid to die, I am afraid to lose the battle.”
All day, everyday, we report on deaths around the world - a week ago, when Al Jazeera cameraman was killed in Libya, it forced us to pause for a moment cos the loss was closer to home. With Mo’s death, even though I’ve never met him, I feel like its a loss of someone I knew.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. We are told that Mo’s objective in founding Libya AlHurra was to help his countrymen by getting the word out about what is happening in Libya.
Let us honor this courageous man and help him realize his dream by directing our efforts to get news from Libya out.
