Libyan Parliament Speaker Commits to Backing Development Initiatives in Libya
During a meeting with Eng. Belgassem Khalifa Haftar, Director-General of the Development and Reconstruction Fund, Saleh was briefed on key projects currently being implemented in several cities and regions.
The Speaker praised the Fund's role in driving economic recovery and enhancing the quality of life for citizens, stressing the importance of sustained efforts to strengthen development initiatives nationwide.
Saleh underscored that the House of Representatives remains fully committed to backing the Fund's mission to rebuild Libya, expand investment in infrastructure, and deliver tangible improvements in services for Libyan communities.
Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.
Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.
The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.
Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: Ageela SalehlibyaLibyan parliament
