Libyan candidate warns against canceling school year
Fadhel Al-Ameen accuses authorities of negligence in education and healthcare, risking the nation's future.
Presidential candidate Fadhel Al-Ameen has warned against canceling Libya's school year, criticizing what he calls neglect in education and healthcare sectors. He stated on Facebook that this disregard puts the country's future at risk.
Al-Ameen questioned if Libyans would allow children to lose an academic year, attributing the crisis to a lack of responsible leadership rather than funds. He pointed to teachers' strikes and healthcare worker protests as evidence of authorities failing basic duties despite having resources.
He described neglecting education and healthcare as an "unforgivable crime and a grave betrayal." Al-Ameen called for accountability for officials controlling public funds and depriving citizens of essential services, stating those unable to govern should step down.
