ALBAWABA - Libyan authorities find a huge bronze female wolf statue that was once erected on a column in the centre of Benghazi, before it disappeared decades ago. I found this statue in the scrapyard, and its owner did not feel any attachment to it as he considered it a taboo and a colonial heritage. A complaint from the Benghazi Antiquities Control Department claiming that a bronze statue was on a farm near Sidi Farag in the city of Benghazi prompted the Benghazi Tourist and Antiquities Protection Police branch to take immediate action.
