British Parliamentarian: Since the departure of Gaddafi, Libya has fallen into the clutches of corruption

A member of the British Conservative Party, Daniel Kavczynski, confirmed that since the departure of the martyr leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has fallen into the clutches of corruption, which is now threatening the West.

In an article in the British newspaper The Sunday Express, Kavczynski explained that the Libyan oil sector is suffering greatly from the rampant corruption in Libya, especially in light of Libya’s suffering from internal divisions, as the UN-backed Dabaiba government controls the West, while the American Khalifa controls. Haftar controls the eastern and southern regions of Libya.

He added, “The crisis is that most of the international focus is on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the tension in the Middle East, which has given an opportunity to exacerbate corruption and fuel smuggling in Libya, which greatly threatens Libya’s ability to fulfill its energy obligations to Europe.”

He went on to say, “The lack of transparency in the hydrocarbon sector in Libya may lead to cutting off oil supplies to European countries such as Italy.”

He pointed out that while Europe is asleep, the Russian regime has not slept at all. The Russian Wagner Group is exploiting the situation to support its anti-Western goals in Africa, where Libya has become the main platform for leading the conflict in sub-Saharan countries, which has turned into a real current threat to the West.

The British parliamentarian called for the need to consider imposing sanctions against those who are at the heart of Libyan corruption operations.

He added, “We must send a message to the smugglers, Wagner, and all opponents of good governance, that by stopping corruption operations in the Libyan oil sector, only then can they think about the future of Libya.”

This response comes after Kavczynski submitted questions and interrogations in the British House of Commons to British Foreign Ministry officials, in which he accused multinational energy companies of engaging in corrupt practices in the Libyan oil industry.

During these interrogations, he pointed out that “the increase in the number of fuel smuggling routes in Libya could affect regional stability,” calling for the need to act urgently to help confront the influence of unfriendly foreign parties on the Libyan oil industry.
