Tragedy of Exceptions: Al-Huwaij Opens Doors for Iron Exports to Amasi Amid Allegations of Favoritism and Bribery

Our exclusive sources revealed that the Minister of Economy and Trade in the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Al-Huweij, granted an exemption to “Amasi Contracting” to export 100,000 tons of rebar, in addition to 50,000 tons of products from the Iron and Steel Company, despite his previous decision to ban iron and scrap exports.

This move raises serious questions about favoritism and bribery, highlighting that Al-Huweij’s decisions appear tailored to specific companies rather than being available to all, prompting calls for an urgent investigation into the mechanism for issuing such exemptions and why they are limited to certain parties.
