The Libyan Prime Minister, Fathi Bashagha, said Thursday at the cabinet first meeting held in Sebha, “a new era has begun today in which all Libyans unite for reform, reconstruction and fair distribution of wealth and services without discrimination.”
“We preferred that the first meeting of the government be held in Sebha, the capital of the South, which is experiencing marginalization,” Bashagha said. “This government is for all Libyans in all regions, and we have to feel the suffering of the people and be with them.”
He added, “Libya is not a booty to be seized by a particular person or a particular family that believes that it can buy the country with the money of the Libyans.”
Bashagha added, “We are determined to start our work as a national and legitimate Libyan government, and we will look after the interests of our country and people.”
