Arab Liberal Federation

The Arab Liberal Federation (ALF; Arabic: الاتحاد الليبرالي العربي) is a network of liberal political parties, organizations and activists from Arab countries. It was formed in 2008 in Cairo under the name of Network of Arab Liberals (NAL). Wael Nawara of the Egyptian El-Ghad Party was elected as a first president. The network was renamed The Arab Alliance for Freedom and Democracy in 2011, reacting to the negative connotations that the term 'liberal' has in some Arab countries.[1] In March 2016, the Alliance was renamed to its current name using the term 'Liberal' as ideological identification.
