ALGIERS: Prominent Algerian newspaper Liberte printed its last issue on Thursday, three decades after it was established and a week after its owner, the country’s richest man, decided to liquidate it.

The French-language daily newspaper’s front page resembled an obituary, with a black band at the top and the title in red: "Thank you and goodbye." "After 30 years of intellectual adventure, Liberte is finished," the first page read.
