Al Jazeera network will broadcast from Valley

LIBERTY— Al Jazeera, the international Arabic-English language television network, is to hold a live remote broadcast at the Arab American Community Center of Greater Youngstown on election night.

Eyad Abu-Rahma, formerly of Youngstown, who works for the network out of its Washington, D.C., office, was instrumental in getting Al Jazeera to the Mahoning Valley, said Ray Nakley, the community center’s spokesman.

The center is holding an election event beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday with food and beverages available. Admission is free. The center is at 15 Belgrade Ave. between Colonial Drive and Gypsy Lane.

The time for Al Jazeera’s arrival isn’t known, but it will be after the event’s starting time, Nakley said.
