The Libyan government daily Al-Zahf al-Akhdarhas been suspended for one week for suggesting that Colonel Moammar Gadaffi should no longer be referred to as the "guide of the revolution" and should instead start behaving as a genuine head of state. This is the second time the newspaper has been suspended in four months.
Al-Zahf al-Akhdar was immediately suspended for one week on 27 January after the government daily had made these suggestions. The paper's edition was also censored and removed from news stands.
Libyan authorities said Al-Zahf al-Akhdar was suspended for making "serious mistakes" and for "publishing articles contrary to the power of the masses," which Libyan authorities see incorporated through the country's leader, Colonel Gadaffi.
