00:00As Libya struggles with power cuts, UN Envoy Hannah Swera-Tete is warning the Security Council that critical infrastructure is
00:10increasingly under pressure in the North African country.
00:17The crisis highlights a striking paradox. According to National Oil Corporation data, approximately 1 billion United States dollars is spent
00:26monthly on fuel imports.
00:27Yet electricity systems remain vulnerable to fuel shortages.
00:32Evidence of large-scale diversion of subsidized fuel in the electricity and security sectors, as I have highlighted in previous
00:39briefings, and as has also been reported by the panel of experts, underscores the need for stronger oversight, accountability, and
00:47coordination to ensure public resources are used to deliver the essential services Libyans depend on.
00:53The diversion of subsidized fuel is an unacceptable abuse of public resources, and those responsible must be investigated and held
01:02accountable.
01:03Weeks after more than 100 protesters dumped rubbish outside a Libyan oil company in Tripoli, anger over prolonged power cuts
01:12continues to grow, with residents demanding better living conditions and public services.
