利比亚东部议会批准任命新任央行行长,这是在世界各国大国推动重新统一这个饱受战乱的石油输出国组织成员国之际,该议会采取的一系列最新举措中的一项。
Libya’s eastern-based parliament approved the appointment of a new central bank governor, its latest in a flurry of moves as world powers press on with an attempt to reunify the war-torn OPEC member.
议会发言人阿卜杜拉·比勒赫周一在脸书发布声明称,议员们在正式接受前任行长纳吉·伊萨辞职后,批准了法乌齐·阿布胡扎姆担任行长。
Lawmakers approved Fawzi Abukhuzam as governor after formally accepting the resignation of his predecessor, Naji Issa, assembly spokesman Abdullah Bilheg said in a statement on Facebook on Monday.
利比亚拥有非洲最大原油储量,该国分裂为西部的国际承认政府和东部的对立议会,军事指挥官哈夫塔尔在东部掌权。美国总统特朗普和土耳其等国正在推动解决这一持续十余年的分裂局面,在一个遍布武器且利益竞争激烈的国家,这是一项复杂的任务。
Libya, which sits atop Africa’s largest crude reserves, is divided between an internationally-recognized government in its west and the rival parliament in the east, where military commander Khalifa Haftar holds sway. US President Donald Trump and Turkey are among those pushing to resolve the more than decade-long split, a complicated endeavor in a country bristling with weapons and competing interests.
伊萨于8月提交辞呈,未说明原因,但当局最初未予接受。他的正式继任者出炉,几乎是在同一议会投票罢免议长阿吉拉·萨利赫近一个月后,后者是位有影响力的权力掮客,已担任该职12年。
Issa submitted his resignation in August, without specifying why, but authorities didn’t initially accept. His formal replacement comes almost a month after the same parliament voted out speaker Aguila Saleh, an influential power-broker who’d held the post for 12 years.
10月20日,该议会还批准了一项有争议的与土耳其签署的海上划界协议,利比亚西部政府多年前已支持该协议。
On Oct. 20, the assembly also approved a contentious maritime demarcation agreement with Turkey that Libya’s western government backed years ago.
利比亚总部设在的黎波里的央行是其石油财富的主要保管机构,控制权成为该国各竞争派系争夺的关键奖品。约两年前,伊萨被任命为行长,以解决东、西部政府间的争端,该争端曾导致该国过半石油产量停产。
Libya’s Tripoli-based central bank is the main custodian of its oil wealth, making control over it a key prize for the country’s competing factions. Issa was named governor about two years ago to settle a dispute between eastern and western administrations that had led to a shutdown of more than half the country’s oil production.
