Libyan Minister of State for Prime Minister Affairs in the Government of National Unity, Adel Jumaa, was injured in Tripoli after his vehicle was targeted with a barrage of bullets.

According to RT’s correspondent in Libya, Minister Adel Jumaa sustained two gunshot wounds to his legs after his car was riddled with bullets on the highway in the capital, Tripoli, shortly after leaving the Palm City area.

Exclusive sources revealed to RT that the minister’s vehicle was struck by 14 bullets, with two hitting his legs, prompting his immediate transfer to the intensive care unit at Abu Salim Trauma Hospital for emergency treatment.

As of now, no official statement has been issued by the Government of National Unity or security authorities regarding the circumstances of the attack or the identity of those responsible. Security forces have heightened their presence in the area as part of an ongoing investigation to uncover further details.

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.
