Arab National Liberation Front information


The Arab National Liberation Front (Arabic: جبهة التحرير الوطني العربية, abbreviated ANLF) was an exile-based Saudi opposition movement. ANLF was founded in Cairo in December 1962, through the merger of the National Liberation Front(جبهة التحرير الوطني) and the Free Princes Movement.[1][2] Talal bin Abdulaziz became the general secretary of ANLF.[2] The formation of a 15-member political bureau was announced when the organization was founded.[3]

The ANLF had a politically mixed membership, gathering Talal's Egypt-based Free Princes Movement, Nasserists, Ba'athists, the Beirut-based Organization of Saudi Communists and Shia religious leaders.[4][5][6][7] The ANLF was formed as a competitor to the Union of the Peoples of the Arabian Peninsula (UPAP), a group that was founded by Saudi dissident Nasser Al Saeed to confront the Saudi regime militarily via Yemen.[1][8] However, in 1962 the UPAP joined the ANLF, although it lasted for a short time.[1]

The programme of ANLF called for a referendum on the question of the role of the monarchy, constitutional democratic reforms, gender equality, land reform, non-alignment in international affairs and revision of oil agreements.[2] The ANLF had a regular column in the Beirut publication al-Kifah, called 'Voice of the Front'.[2] Declarations in the name of ANLF were broadcast on Egyptian, Syrian and Yemeni radio stations, calling for the overthrow of the Saudi regime.[9]

In August 1963 Talal's group broke away from ANLF and begun to seek reconciliation with the royal house, after which the NLF reconstituted itself.[2] The NLF continued to function until August 1974, eventually being replaced by the Communist Party in Saudi Arabia in 1975.[7]
