Representative in the Presidential Council, Musa Al-Koni, Vice President of the Supreme Council of State, Masoud Obaid, and Deputy Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, Ramadan Boujanah, discussed during a meeting they held today, Thursday, the repercussions of floods in the eastern region and the decline in services in the south.
The attendees praised the position taken by the Libyan people to support their brothers in the city of Derna and its neighboring areas as a result of their exposure to hurricanes and floods, according to the Presidential Council on its Facebook page.
They stressed the need for the areas affected by the disaster to receive the attention of officials in the Libyan state, for reconstruction, stressing that the extent of the destruction that Derna was subjected to was due to the negligence of successive governments that did not pay attention to infrastructure and reconstruction in all regions and their decline in the struggle for power.
According to the Council, the attendees pointed out the neglect that the southern regions are exposed to, represented by weak infrastructure, which has led to a low level of services in many areas, despite demands that the southern regions obtain their share of the country’s wealth to benefit from it in spatial development and reconstruction, holding the government fully responsible for the consequences of what happened.
It is noteworthy that members of the House of Representatives and the State and a number of ministers of the National Unity Government from the south had recently authorized Musa al-Koni as their representative to follow up on everything related to the south in order for it to obtain its rights.
