Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh met on Sunday with mayors of over a dozen municipalities in Libya’s southern region of Fezzan to primarily discuss the fuel shortage crisis in the region.
According to a statement by Dbeibeh’s media office, Mayor of Sabha, Belhaj Ali Belhaj, briefed the premier on the challenges affecting fuel distribution mechanism, including the reconstruction of damaged roads that considered unsafe to transport fuel.
During the meeting, Dbeibeh “stressed the need to develop radical solutions to the fuel issue, guarantee the rights of citizens, especially in the southern regions, and create alternatives in the support file for citizens to benefit from,” as per the statement of the premier’s office.
He also “instructed the Minister of Local Government to hold technical meetings between municipalities and executive agencies, to follow up on the progress of work on ongoing projects and targeted projects during the current year.”
