Abu Qwaitin, President of Al-Akhdar Football Club, has accepted the resignation of the club’s Football Manager, Adel Al-Shaari, along with the entire football management board.
This announcement was made in a statement posted on the club’s Facebook page, although the reasons behind the resignations were not disclosed.
Al-Akhdar’s team was on the brink of qualifying for the Championship Playoffs for the 2023/2024 football season.
However, they lost their crucial qualifying match against Al-Hilal, which was held recently at Ajdabiya Stadium.
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.
