The unequal distribution of wealth: an open scar in Libya – Atalayar
Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, commander-in-chief of the Libyan army, delivered a speech at the headquarters of the Libyan Army General Command in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. During the meeting, Haftar pointed out that one of the reasons for the crisis in Libya is the lack of a fair distribution of wealth.
Haftar stressed that the Libyan people are in a critical situation, suffering from hunger and tired of the deliberate manipulation of their wealth and capabilities. He stressed that the situation must be reconsidered and that wealth must be distributed fairly before it is too late. The crisis in Libya has been caused by several factors, such as lack of security, the presence of armed groups, corruption and lack of leadership. However, the lack of a fair distribution of wealth has also been a key factor in the deteriorating situation in the country.
It is important that leaders and officials in Libya work to address this critical issue and commit to implementing policies that ensure a fair distribution of wealth in the country. By doing so, they can help alleviate the poverty and suffering of the Libyan population and build a modern and prosperous state.
Khalifa Haftar, he said, put his finger on a deep wound that has long afflicted Libyans. This situation has worsened following the divisions that have hit Libya since 2014 and their aftermath, especially after the fragmentation of economic institutions between the east and west of the country. During his meeting with military leaders and officers at the headquarters of the army's General Command in Benghazi, Haftar called on the authorities to provide job opportunities for Libyan youth and to ensure an equitable distribution of the country's oil wealth.
Libyan economist Murad Al-Sabri pointed out in an interview with Al-Ain News that the unfair distribution of wealth is one of the most important causes of the economic crisis in Libya. This crisis has affected the majority of the Libyan population, who are in a difficult situation and can no longer put up with irresponsible behaviour and manipulation of their wealth and capabilities.
Murad Al-Sabri explained that the crisis of the unfair distribution of wealth in Libya dates back decades, when the Gaddafi regime concentrated the main economic institutions in the capital, Tripoli, marginalising the rest of the country. After Gaddafi's overthrow, the situation continued and the party that controlled Tripoli benefited from the central situation, controlling the country's wealth. The National Oil Corporation, managed by the article Mustafa Sanallah, pours the money from the sale of oil exclusively into the Central Bank of Tripoli, led by Al-Siddik Al-Kabeer, which has caused the problem of unfair distribution of Libya's wealth. Libyan army commander Khalifa Haftar put his hand on this old wound to seek a solution.
Libyan writer Serageldin Belkhair commented that the international community is working to resolve the crisis, but at a slow pace. He stressed that Field Marshal Haftar's speech is addressed to the international community, which is creating a mechanism to ensure a fair distribution of Libya's wealth. He also mentioned the importance of finding a solution before it is too late. The Berlin Conference on Libya, held in January 2020, created an international committee including an Economic Committee, which met in February of that year to discuss the importance of transparent public finances and to review the reunification of the Central Bank of Libya, which is currently divided into the east and west of the country.
