Libyan Parliament Approves Budget for Reconstruction Fund
Libya's House of Representatives has approved the preparation of a dedicated budget for the Development and Reconstruction Fund, aimed at revitalising infrastructure and services across the war-torn country. The session was held on Monday in Tobruk, under the chairmanship of Speaker Aqeela Saleh, with the presence of First Deputy Speaker Fawzi Al-Nuwairi and Second Deputy Misbah Douma. According to Parliament Spokesman Abdullah Bliheg, the session also reviewed the national development plan for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027. Following extensive discussion, MPs agreed to initiate the process of drafting a budget for the Development and Reconstruction Fund. The decision includes the formation of a committee comprising a representative from each electoral district, who will meet with the Fund's administration to ensure the budget is equitably distributed across all regions. The fund is expected to play a critical role in rebuilding key infrastructure, repairing war-damaged areas, and boosting development in neglected provinces. The House also agreed to establish a technical committee to study the Libyan-Turkish agreement submitted by the government designated by Parliament. Additionally, MPs voted to cancel all exceptions to financial and administrative oversight—marking a move towards enhanced transparency and institutional control.

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.
