Awad Al-Fituri, the Head of the House of Representatives office in Tobruk, Libya, says he wants the legislature to consider a new flag and national anthem for Libya. The red-black-green tricolor "Independence" flag was re-introduced in 2011 after the fall of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. It was previously used from 1951-1969. Several House members are also supporting the plan. The Tobruk-based legislature is recognized as the official government of Libya by the United Nations. A rival government, in Tripoli, is dominated by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
