The Libyan National Movement (Arabic: الحركة الوطنية الليبية, al-Ḥarakah al-Waṭanīyah al-Lībīyah) is a Libyan political organization. The Libyan National Movement was established in December 1980, by opponents of Muammar Gaddafi's government.[1] The founder of the organization was the Ba'athist lawyer Umran Burweiss.[2] Muftah Lamlum is the general secretary of the Libyan National Movement.[3] Politically, the Libyan National Movement has a left-wing nationalist agenda with a Ba'athist orientation.[4] The organization operates in exile, primarily amongst Libyans in Europe, during the mid-1980s it was active amongst students abroad.[2][4] The publication of the organization was called Sawt at-Talia ('Voice of the Vanguard'). The magazine was later discontinued and substituted by a website.[1][4]
The organization was originally financed by Iraqi Ba'athists.[5] which enabled it to produce relatively high-quality propaganda materials. For example, it issued audio cassettes, which were smuggled into Libya, alongside Sawt at-Talia during the 1980s.[6] The organization also ran radio broadcasts over Radio Baghdad.[6]
In January 1987, the Libyan National Movement and seven other opposition groups (such as the Libyan National Struggle Movement and the Libyan Liberation Organization) agreed to form a working group headed by Major Abd al Munim al Huni, a former RCC member who had been living in Cairo since the 1975 coup attempt.[7]
In July 2005, the Libyan National Movement took part in a foundation of the National Conference for the Libyan Opposition in London, which signed a joint 'national accord' calling for the removal of Gaddafi from power and the establishment of a transitional government.[8][9]
