A disagreement

Libyan poet Nassib Al-Sokouri is reported to have denied that he, accompanied by two other poets, Eisa Said and Khalifa Bugahima, and others, attacked the offices of the Information and Culture Authority on Thursday.

Refuting a statement by the head of the authority, Omar Gawairi who had said that a mob led by Sokouri had stormed the building and attacked staff, the poet – probably the best known in Cyrenaica – claimed that there had simply been a disagreement over a number of issues, in particular the need of a certain poet for treatment abroad. He was quoted by Buwabat Alwsat saying that he had no personal issues with Gawairi. / Libya Herald
