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