Sadiq al-Kabir said he and other senior bank staff had been forced to leave the country.
governor Sadiq al-Kabir said he and other senior bank staff had been forced to leave the country to “protect our lives” from potential attacks by armed militia, the“Militias are threatening and terrifying bank staff and are sometimes abducting their children and relatives to force them to go to work,” Kabir told the newspaper via telephone.
He also said attempts by interim Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah to replace him were illegal, and contravened UN negotiated accords on control of the central bank. The crisis over the control of the Central Bank of Libya creates yet another level of instability in the country, a major oil producer that is split between eastern and western factions that have drawn backing from Turkey and Russia.
