After their contribution to its cessation in 2011, Dabaiba and Haftar steal Libya’s tomorrow projects and attribute them to themselves
The Minister of Investment in the government of eastern Libya, Ali Al-Saidi, revealed the attempts of his government, affiliated with the American Khalifa Haftar, to rob part of the railway project affiliated with the development projects that was sponsored by Dr. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi before the February catastrophe.
Al-Saidi admitted, during statements to the Russian Sputnik agency, that criminal gangs had stolen the tools for the “Misrata-Benghazi” railway project after the February catastrophe, stressing that the project was already in place before 2011, and its poles were placed on the ground.
Al-Saidi expressed his hope that the Russian company entrusted with implementing the “Misrata-Benghazi” railway line would return to resume its work in Libya.
Al-Saidi indicated that soon during the Kazan Conference, he will communicate about this project again, adding, “We are in dire need of railway lines, so we hope that the Russian authorities will reconsider and return to completing their project in Libya.”
The railway project was approximately 3,170 kilometers long, with 75 stations and 168 bridges, and would reach Egypt, Tunisia, and Niger. In 2008, Libya contracted with the Russian Railways Company to implement the third line of the project with a length of 554 kilometers.
The project aims to connect Benghazi and Sirte, at a cost of 2.2 billion euros, within a 4-year implementation period, but work on the project stopped after the catastrophe of February 2011, and the employees were evacuated.
Development in Libya has been paralyzed by the cessation of the “Libya Tomorrow” projects since the February catastrophe, and after 13 years of plunder, theft, destruction and delay, the governments of eastern and western Libya, represented by Abdul Hamid Al-Dabaiba and the American Khalifa Haftar, are returning to revive it and claim it for themselves.
Al-Dabaiba uses Dr. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi’s “Libya of Tomorrow” projects to polish his image before the people, even though he was the reason for delaying them before 2011 and also contributed to their cessation after he joined the February Catastrophe, including the Seven Fawar Lighthouse project in Zliten.
Dr. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi had laid the foundation stone for the lighthouse project in 2009, and Abdul Hamid Al-Dabaiba was commissioned through the “LDCO Company” at the time to build it, and the completion rate reached 60% by 2011, and now Al-Dabaiba returns to complete the project after 13 years through a plan to restore life. Which he launched.
Al-Dabaiba seeks to restore investments in the oil sector, which were also launched by Dr. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi during the “Libya Tomorrow” projects, where Al-Dabaiba reviewed the development and investment plans and projects approved in the Oil Ministry’s plan, to increase production, attract more foreign investments, and involve the Libyan private sector in intermediate works. Related to the oil and gas industry.
The “Libya Tomorrow” projects included a plan to develop stadiums, such as Al-Karimiya Stadium, which was among the stadiums that work began to build to accompany hosting the African Cup of Nations, which was scheduled to be completed in 2013. Today, Al-Dabaiba seeks to prepare eight stadiums to resemble the June 11 Stadium.
Likewise, the Bab Tripoli project in the Abu Salim municipality, area “2 – 4 – 6”, was among the Libya Al-Ghad projects, which was implemented by the Libyan Development and Real Estate Investment Company. The structure of 14 buildings was completed, and 11 new administrative buildings were constructed, before 2011, and these buildings were to be allocated Offices for large national companies, such as banks, airlines, various ministries and public companies, but the project stopped, like others, in the year of the renaissance of 2011, and Al-Dabaiba returns today and attributes the Bab Tripoli project to himself, and reviews the proposed investment plan for the project, which is essentially his plan before 2011.
As for eastern Libya, the American Khalifa Haftar and his sons use the Libya of Tomorrow projects and attribute them to themselves after they stole them, such as the memorial to the Battle of Qardabiyah, which was designed by Dr. Saif al-Islam Muammar Gaddafi, out of his pride in this battle that brought together and united the Libyan Arab tribes in the war of jihad against Italian colonialism. Haftar’s family comes. The day that enabled the Russian invasion of the country and it was decided to demolish the memorial under the pretext of erecting a new memorial.
The project to construct 2,000 housing units in the city of Derna, one of Libya Al-Ghad’s projects, which is located at the western entrance to the city “Boumsafer neighborhood”, was implemented by the Administrative Centers Development Authority, at a cost of $400 million, and in fact 60% of the project was completed before 2011, to return Al-Qasim Haftar today launches the Derna Reconstruction Fund, through which millions of the people’s money are plundered.
Likewise, “Libya Tomorrow ” laid the foundation stone for the “Al-Sabkha” buildings project in the city of Benghazi, through the Mediterranean Company in 2009, and work continued until it stopped in 2011, then the American Haftar came and called it “1015 Buildings” in Al-Mushir neighborhood, and he opened it and attributed it to himself.
