Political network
The
Arab Liberal Federation
(
ALF
;
Arabic
:
??????? ????????? ??????
) is a network of
liberal
political parties
, organizations and activists from Arab countries. It was formed in 2008 in
Cairo
under the name of
Network of Arab Liberals
(NAL). Wael Nawara of the
Egyptian
El-Ghad Party
was elected as a first president. The network was renamed The
Arab Alliance for Freedom and Democracy
in 2011, reacting to the negative connotations that the term 'liberal' has in some Arab countries.
[1]
In March 2016, the Alliance was renamed to its current name using the term 'Liberal' as ideological identification.
The network is affiliated to
Liberal International
federation, and receives support from the European
ALDE Party
and the German
Friedrich Naumann Foundation
and the
VVD
of Netherlands.
