In an exclusive statement obtained by our source, Minister of Oil Mohammed Aoun refuted Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh’s claims regarding the implementation of judicial rulings. He asserted that rather than complying with these rulings, Dbeibeh has disregarded them entirely, acting out of vengeance, injustice, and abuse of power. Aoun accused the prime minister of violating Libyan laws and administrative procedures by issuing a decision on June 6, 2024, to remove him from his position as Minister of Oil and Gas.
The minister reiterated that the actions taken by the appointed deputy minister since May 12, 2024, are entirely invalid, calling them blatant and unprecedented violations of Libya’s laws. He held the deputy minister personally responsible for these breaches and urged foreign partners to adhere to Libyan legislation and refrain from engaging in any dealings with what he described as an illegitimate appointee.
Aoun further renewed his call for legislative, sovereign, and executive authorities to swiftly enforce the rulings that mandate his reinstatement, emphasizing that this step is crucial for upholding the rule of law and strengthening state institutions.
