Libya’s Acting Minister of Tourism, Ali Qalmah alongside Abdullah Al-Masri, the Chief of Office at the Libyan Parliament, inaugurated an arts and cultural exhibition titled “I am Libya, I am History” in Benghazi. The event, organised by the General Culture Council affiliated with the Parliament, is being held at the Silphium Hall in the city.

In his opening speech, Qalmah welcomed the attendees, which included the Greek Consul in Libya, representatives from the Italian and Sudanese consulates, and a number of writers, intellectuals, and cultural figures.

He emphasised the “significance of Libyan history, and the diverse cultural identity that has shaped Libya through the ages.” He also highlighted the “civilisational blend of the Libyan nation, considering it a historical wealth and memory of the homeland.”

The four day exhibition features various segments and lectures reflecting the full spectrum of Libyan cultural history, encompassing artistic, civilisational, archaeological, and Islamic elements. This event marks a significant celebration of Libya’s rich and diverse heritage, contributing to the country’s ongoing cultural dialogue and understanding.

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.
