Currently we have two articles on Islamist parties in Libya with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. National Gathering for Freedom, Justice and Development, whose foundation was announced in November 2011, and which is reportedly led by Ali al-Sallabi, and Justice and Development Party (Libya), which was officially founded on 3 March 2012 and which is led by Mohamed Sowan. Could it be that both are in fact one and the same party? Particularly given that the source from November 2011 pointed out that "National Gathering for Freedom, Justice and Development" was a "provisional name". For me, this indicates the possibility that they changed the (complicated) name to a more simple one before the official foundation took place. Can someone confirm or falsify this, please? Thank you. --RJFF (talk) 20:13, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that should be the case although we got both names wrong. According to these two articles [1][2] name of MB party is Justice and Construction Party, head of party is Mohammed Sawan and has backing of Ali al-Sallabi and Abdulhakim Belhaj. EllsworthSK (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
most sources say justice and development...though easy to see development/construction mis-translaated. Probs should merge into justice and development IF the same, otherwise they could very well be 2 different parties as they have 2 leaders. Akin to Egypt's MB and al-nour.Lihaas (talk) 06:34, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
