Libya Joins Key Arab Parliamentary Summit in Algiers
A delegation from the Libyan House of Representatives, led by First Deputy Speaker Fawzi Al-Nuwairi, took part in the opening session of the 38th Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference held in Algiers on Saturday. The event, themed 'The Role of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union Amid Regional and International Developments,' brought together parliamentary leaders and delegations from across the Arab world. The Libyan delegation included MPs Salehin Abdel Nabi, Hassan Al-Barghathi, Aisha Shalabi, and the Secretary-General of the Parliament, Abdullah Al-Masri Al-Fadhil. The high-level gathering aims to address pressing issues facing the Arab region and to discuss the evolving role of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union in light of ongoing geopolitical changes. Topics on the agenda include regional stability, parliamentary cooperation, and strategies to strengthen Arab unity in the face of international challenges. Libya's participation in the conference reflects the House of Representatives' commitment to regional cooperation and its engagement in shaping unified Arab positions on key issues. 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.
