Libya Faces Backlash Over Ajeel Theater Closure
A widespread controversy has erupted in Libya following the decision by the General Authority for Chivalry, Theatre, and Arts to dissolve the Ajeelal Theatre and Arts Group in Derna, issued in 2026. Opponents consider the decision to threaten one of the most prominent community-based theatrical experiences in the city, especially since the group was established under challenging security conditions in 2016 and has continued its activities, including organizing an annual festival. Despite objections from many artists and cultural institutions, the authority has yet to issue an official clarification. Legal entities are criticizing the procedures followed and are calling for a review of the decision. Reactions have extended beyond Libya as well, with associations in Mauritania expressing their support and urging the preservation of Derna's theatrical experience.
