During the 2011 Libyan Civil War, Zaptia, frustrated with the lack of freedom at Tripoli Post, quit the paper and helped found a new online newspaper, the Libya Herald, aiming at quality journalism.[2]
After the 2011 Civil War
editThe Tripoli Post continued publishing after the 2011 Civil War[3] through to early 2016 during the Second Libyan Civil War.[4]
