U.S. Republican Party member Ihsan Al-Khatib told Sada Economic Newspaper on Wednesday that Libya faces a political crisis with economic consequences. While corruption exists in all countries, the issue in Libya lies in its scale. He noted that Libya, with its small population and vast oil wealth, has immense potential.
Al-Khatib added that Libya can combat corruption like any other country—with strong laws and proper enforcement.
He emphasized that corruption is essentially the theft of resources from both the Libyan people today and future generations.
He concluded by stating that while the world can offer solutions, only Libyans themselves can truly address their nation’s challenges.
