Municipal Council Demands Immediate Action

The Municipal Council of Zliten has issued an urgent appeal to Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba and the Ministry of Defence to intervene in the ongoing blockade at the Arab Union Construction Company (AUCC) cement factory.

Reports indicate armed groups have gathered outside the factory premises, prompting concerns about security and economic disruption in the region.

Key Demands from Zliten Municipality

• Immediate withdrawal of external forces from the factory area
• Government-mediated peaceful resolution through negotiations
• Protection of local economic interests and worker safety

Legal Action Underway

The municipal call for intervention follows legal action by Libya’s Attorney General, who has issued arrest warrants for individuals accused of disrupting operations at the cement plant.

The factory blockade represents a significant challenge to Libya’s industrial sector and local employment in Zliten, with potential ripple effects on construction material supplies nationwide.
