Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who controls the northwest of the country, is the cousin of Ali Dabaiba, the former head of the Organization for Development of Administrative Centers, responsible for infrastructure that rotted during Gadhafi’s tenure as he accrued billions.

Derna dams. In 2021, Libya’s audit bureau reported that nearly 2.3 million euros had previously been appropriated by Libya’s Ministry of Water Resources to maintain the dam. A company had been contracted to do the work, but the project was never executed.
