The Libyan Parliament-designate government, led by Prime Minister Osama Hammad, has instructed all government institutions under his administration to cease all forms of cooperation with the rival Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tripoli, headed by Abdulhamid Dbaiba.
In an official statement, Hammad instructed ministries, agencies, public bodies, financial offices, and independent institutions not to provide the GNU with any type of administrative or financial information, records, or documentation. The directive emphasized that no data, regardless of format or classification, is to be shared with the Tripoli-based authorities.
The order also instructed officials to disregard all decisions or instructions issued by the GNU, calling instead for strict adherence only to directives from Hammad’s government and its formally recognized institutions.
Hammad warned that any violation of this directive would result in full legal and administrative accountability, making it clear that individuals or entities found in breach could face disciplinary action.
The move signals an escalation in Libya’s ongoing political divide, which has left the country with two competing governments: the internationally recognized GNU, in Tripoli, and the eastern-based administration.
This latest directive reflects growing institutional fragmentation and deep mistrust between the rival camps. It also raises concerns about the potential disruption of national operations, especially in key sectors that require coordination across Libya’s regions, such as finance, health, education, and civil registry services.
