Moussa Ibrahim

Who is Moussa Ibrahim?

Moussa Ibrahim is a Libyan political figure who rose to international attention in 2011 as Muammar Gaddafi's Information Minister and official spokesman, serving in this role until the government was toppled in the Libyan civil war. Ibrahim held frequent press conferences in the course of the war, denouncing rebel forces and the NATO-led military intervention, often in defiant and impassioned tones. His status and whereabouts remain unknown following the Battle of Tripoli in which the Gaddafi government was overthrown, although there have been several claims and subsequent refutations of his capture.
