Libya Central Bank Governor Resigns Amid Ongoing Crisis
The governor of Libya's central bank, Naji Issa, has stepped down without providing any explanation for his resignation. According to reports, Issa confirmed his resignation on Monday.
Issa was appointed in September 2024 as part of a deal backed by the United Nations that aimed to end a standoff over Libya's oil production and financial crisis.
The country is still recovering from years of conflict after the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi. It remains divided between the UN-recognised government in the west and a rival authority in the east backed by military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
