Benghazi welcomed the launch of the second edition of the “Ahlan Ramadan” Expo, an annual event that attracts top local and international companies. The exhibition, which began on Saturday, serves as a key marketplace for Ramadan essentials, offering high-quality products and services in preparation for the holy month.
Held at the Al-Hawari Exhibition Grounds, the event will run until February 21, 2025, providing companies with a valuable platform to showcase and sell their products at cost-effective prices. This allows customers to benefit from exclusive discounts and promotions on food items and essential Ramadan supplies.
Event organisers anticipate a high turnout, making this expo an excellent opportunity for businesses to engage directly with customers and strengthen their presence in the market.
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.
