Libyan press strongly criticize Saudi Arabia
Libya-Saudi Arabia, Politics, 12/25/2004

The Libyan press on Friday launched strong criticism against Saudi Arabia because of its decision to summon its ambassador in Tripoli and to expel the Libyan ambassador in Riyadh, describing Saudi Arabia as "the kingdom of darkness" ruled by Abu Jahel.

The Libyan state run al-Jamahereyah said in its yesterday's editorial under the title " the Kingdom of black comedy" that Saudi Arabia might be the "best ambassador for the pre Middle Ages era." The paper added that "Abu Jahel" ( the Saudi royal family) is still giving his rules in the life affairs of the society and bans the woman from driving the car." The Libyan daily al-Zahf al-Akhdar described Saudi Arabia as "a swollen kingdom" and issued an article showing the difference between the life of the common Saudi citizen and the life of luxury members of the ruling family live.

The Saudi dailies on Thursday launched a campaign of the same spirit against Libya and said that the decision to expel the Libyan ambassador from Riyadh is very late and described the Libyan regime as "stubborn " and its leader as "crazy."
