Libya Signs Unified Budget

The oil-producing North African country has been split between two governments since 2014, leading to frequent disruptions in oil production and public services.

The unified budget is expected to streamline the allocation of resources and improve the management of Libya's vast energy wealth.

International mediators have praised the move as a foundation for future political reconciliation and national elections.

However, challenges remain in implementing the budget across all regions, as local militias and political factions continue to vie for influence.
