Ya Libnan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ya Libnan (Arabic: يالبنان) Hey Lebanon, is a Lebanese media outlet that delivers English-language news from Beirut to an international audience. Ya Libnan was founded by volunteers in Lebanon immediately after the assassination of Rafik Hariri on February 14, 2005. Since its inception, Ya Libnan has transformed from a blog-style format maintained by 3 volunteers to an official news site that is supported by over 100 multi-national volunteers.

"Ya Libnan is a pro-democracy Lebanese Web site."
