Deputy Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Misbah Douma, announced the imminent launch of development projects in Fezzan, southern Libya.
Douma stated that development projects in the Fezzan region will soon commence, following years of focus on security and stability in various southern areas.
Notably, Douma, representing the city of Sabha, held a series of meetings with southern deputies and representatives from ministries, agencies, and public institutions under the Libyan government to discuss various important issues in southern cities and regions.
Days ago, Libyan Prime Minister-designate Osama Hammad held a meeting in Sirte with top officials, including the General Director of the Libyan Development and Reconstruction Fund, Eng. Belqasim Haftar, and Hatem Al-Areibi, Head of the Reconstruction and Stability Committee. The gathering aimed to address the ongoing challenges facing Sirte, a city of crucial importance to Libya.
During the meeting, Hammad closely reviewed the progress and operations of service, security, and governmental departments, reiterating the Libyan government’s strong commitment to the development of Sirte. The city is not only the birthplace of the government but also a principal venue for the critical meetings of the 5+5 Joint Military Committee (JMC), and it is preparing to host national powers in efforts to find a Libyan-led solution and consensus.
Hammad emphasised that the ongoing projects in Sirte are not mere grants but rightful entitlements of its citizens. “These initiatives are not targeted at any specific city but span the entire Libyan territory,” Hammad said, announcing the launch of multiple service projects across the nation. He assured that all demands would be met, including the provision of care for cancer patients, and praised the Libyan National Army’s efforts in securing the city.
Following the discussions, Hammad issued a decree to establish a free zone in Sirte’s port, underlining its significant commercial potential.
