The inauguration ceremony of Med Sky Company was launched this evening, in order to inaugurate the direct flight line between Libya and Malta.
The Maltese ambassador to Libya had revealed exclusively to our source about this, stressing that the visas would start very soon in Benghazi.
The Maltese ambassador to Libya, Charles Saliba, said in an exclusive statement to our source that the opening of the direct flight line between Libya and Malta will be today.
According to the ambassador, the opening will be at six o’clock in the evening, in the city of Misurata.
The first agent of the Municipal Guard, Muhammad Al-Naem, told our source regarding the news circulating about the presence of a fuel defect, where he said: “According to the available information, in the city of Benghazi, the Municipal Guard was assigned to the Benghazi branch by the authority that they deal with the municipalities to take samples from the stations and transfer them to make sure if there is water or fuel defect as they say, or if the same stations have a leakage in the water tanks or the stations tanks are dilapidated. This information is not available, yet is circulated on the pages of social networking sites.”
He also said: “We have not yet received an official communication that there are stations with a defect in the city of Tripoli. We wandered inside the stations today and it became clear that the provision of them is normal. There may be a defect, when we were searching for some stations or during the tours, for the stations owners with run-down stations tanks. We received a communication about that, and we did our work regarding them.”
He concluded by saying: “For Brega Company, I do not know honestly, and even if there is something of this, there are special laboratories and factories such as the petrochemicals plant, the industrial research center, the civilization standards center, or the inspection center at the Ministry of Economy. They have several centers that determine the results.”
The navigational agent of the Zuwetina and Brega oil ports, Ahmed Bashir, revealed exclusively to our source, that the port of Zuwetina is currently exporting one million barrels, and today it was completed.
He added, after that, “the port will issue only 600 thousand and be closed again.”
Businessman Husni Bey told our source that: “For a week, I have been following the mutual accusations between Brega Oil Marketing Company, accusing it of importing polluted and poor fuel, and private distribution companies and stations, accusing them of mixing fuel with impurities or poor storage with citizens who complain that their cars stopped and are damaged because of gasoline.”
He added: “Likewise, the citizens’ claim that the color of gasoline differs, presuming poor quality and adulterated gasoline are due to the difference in color from one station to another.
First, the difference in the color of gasoline is a normal thing because the color varies from one refinery to another. The purpose of the difference in colors is the possibility of tracing the source in case of pollution, if a leak occurred during sea and land transportation, so “the color has nothing to do with quality”. Secondly and most importantly “Specifications : Every country defines its own specifications for pollution and limits on the quality of fuels, taking into account the maximum limits for limiting emissions and environmental pollution.”
He continued by saying that “the most important polluting components were sulfur and lead.”
In Europe and Japan, ethanol is added to gasoline (by 5% to 10%) in order to reduce the pollution, adding that: “Unfortunately in Libya, we have not updated specifications for decades, and unfortunately each party accuses the other. The idea became to conspire against the Libyans, and neither party sought through dialogue the truth and the basis of the problem, its causes and how to develop the necessary solutions, as a map of the world has been attached showing the types of gasoline in each country with the limits of its sulfur components.
Western Europe also uses gasoline with low sulfur emissions and other polluting materials, and their specifications are environmentally friendly, known as Euro 2 and Euro 4 (the least emission) fuels.
Libya imports regular 95 octane gasoline, which is different from what the European specifications have reached (low emissions, environmental pollution), as the pollution rate in Libyan fuels is 400-600 ppm, while the Euro4 does not exceed 10ppm of sulfur.
Concerning why cars are facing problems from gasoline in Libya? He said: “When buying a car from the agent in Libya, usually the specifications for imported cars and engines are in line with the specifications of the fuels available in Libya, so that we do not find problems with new cars imported from the Libyan agent. But when we import used cars from Europe, Japan and Korea, the engine specifications are designed for those countries “the first place of sale”. Unfortunately, used car engines are facing problems with fuel in Libya.
In conclusion, he said: “Look for the cause of the problem instead of exchanging accusations or resorting to flimsy justifications without knowing the basis of the problem.” He added: “With this, I do not deny the possibility of other pollutants that may have bad effects on the engines, and that is why our duty is to search before accusing one party or another.”
The owner of the Al-Qaib fuel station, in Zawiya, Ali Qaib, told our source, that: “As for the issue of gasoline, I heard about it from social media, and until now, there are none of the station’s clients damaged from the fuel.”
He added: “It is assumed that Brega company or distribution companies are supposed to take random samples from different stations and test them because many citizens have complained about this topic.”
He continued: “These problems usually occurred in the winter when there was a leak of rain water for cabinets and did not occur much.”
He concluded by saying: “As for the increase in water by the fuel station, this is impossible because fuel pumps are sensitive, and if it enters the water, it will not work well.”
Investment advisor, Mondher Al-Shahoumi, exclusively told our source about the issue of gasoline, which caused the breakdown of the cars of a few citizens in Libya, according to what they reported through their official pages.
He said that car manufacturers are recommending the use of a specific fuel type according to the components of the car from filters, adding that the lack of use of the correct fuel affects the car negatively as well. Periodic maintenance as changing these components and the late maintenance or periodic maintenance in specialized centers has a negative impact
He revealed by saying: “In terms of refined fuel in Europe, the quality measurement unit does not allow the sale of any product that does not match the specifications as well as sudden examination in the shipping ports that can confirm any problem of quality.”
He continued, saying that the failure to clean fuel tanks in the stations as well as fuel tanks in the car also has a negative impact
The head of the Libyan government assigned by the Libyan House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, said in an exclusive statement to our source that the value allocated in the government budget regarding the marriage support fund is 2 billion, and that the distribution will not be random and we will not put citizens in a trouble like what happened with the Dbeibeh government.
He continued by saying that the Dbeibeh government had put a wrong mechanism in the marriage support fund, and with it, large sums of money were wasted that did not reach those who deserve it. We in the Libyan government will put in place a clear mechanism for this fund so that those who need this support can benefit from it without randomness.”
He added: “Today we see the results of the wrong work done by the fund and those who managed it, and the youth demonstrations everywhere as a result of the lack of a clear plan.”
The Department of Tripoli Region Branches at Wahda Bank revealed to our source, its follow-up to the work of ATMs for today, 30/04/2022, and throughout the days of the blessed Eid Al-Fitr holiday.

The Head of the Libyan Government of the House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, stated exclusively to our source, answering the question of the continuity of the Marriage Support Fund or not.
He said: “Dbeibeh government has put a wrong mechanism in the marriage support fund, and with it, large sums of money have been wasted that did not reach those who deserve it. We in the Libyan government will put a clear mechanism for this fund so that whoever needs this support can benefit from it without randomness.”
He added: “Today, we see the results of the wrong work done by the fund and those who managed it. The youth demonstrations are everywhere as a result of the lack of a clear plan.”
The Prime Minister of the Libyan government mandated by the House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, stated exclusively to our source regarding the transfer of revenues from the sale of oil to the government of Dbeibeh, that:“ We were surprised by the transfer of revenues from the sale of oil to the government of Dabaiba, despite the fact that there was agreement on the meeting between the parties in Libya, organizing the mechanism of these expenses and limiting them to the salaries and support sections only.”
He added:“ But this didn’t happen. We saw the statement of the American embassy, which shed light on this work, and there are currently parties seeking to hold meetings to develop and organize a solution to this issue in full.”
The Prime Minister of the Libyan government mandated by the House of Representatives, Fatehi Bashagha, stated exclusively to our source that: “We are not satisfied with the closure of the ports and oil fields, but these measures are seen by those who took them as a result of the injustice they suffer from due to the lack of a fair distribution of wealth in the country and the lack of development in their areas.”
He added:“ I went to those who closed the oil fields and sat with them and listened to their demands, as we will work in the government to meet them.”
The Prime Minister of the Libyan Government of the House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, answered exclusively a question by our source about the government’s financial plan and budget.
Bashagha said: “We have developed an integrated plan based on a budget that will be proposed to the House of Representatives and will be revealed soon. We have a vision for development in all Libyan municipalities according to a clear and transparent mechanism set by the Ministry of Local Government.”
He added: “We will not continue to ignore the conditions of citizens anywhere, which have reached an unprecedented level of suffering in treatment and in various aspects of life.”
The Egyptian businessman, Naguib Sawiris, said in an exclusive and private statement to our source regarding the post he published on Twitter, in which he said: “History will remember that Dbeibeh stood in the way of the stability of his country for his personal interest, preferring the position over the interest of Libya.”
He responded by saying to our source: “This post is not related to me and I have nothing to do with it and I have never talked about Libya since my father left it.”
He continued: “I did not participate in the reconstruction or any agreement with Libya regarding the project of the ring road contract.”
