Today we mourn Amal Shennib, a phenomenal Libyan woman. Part of the inaugural class of Benghazi University, she wrote for Libya Magazine in the 1950's, helped found educational institutions in Benghazi and headed a women's high school in Benghazi--among other things.

فجر اليوم الاربعاء 27 مايو 2015 .. فقدت ليبيا ابنة مخلصة من بناتها الفاضلات . رحلت الى رحاب الله السيدة امل عمر فائق شنيب عن عمر بلغ خمسة وثمانين عاما . ولدت السيدة امل فى دمشق عام 1935 . كانت الاسرة قد هاجرت الى الشام فترة الاحتلال الايطالى وكان والدها الرجل الوطنى عمر شنيب فى مقدمة المناضلين الليبيين هناك . اسهم بجهده وعرقه ودمه فى تلك الجهود الوطنية . وفى هذه الاجواء عاشت وتربت مع اشقائها وشقيقاتها .
