Former Tunisian Finance Minister Hussein V ruled out Libyan’s reluctance to repay Tunisian debts, implying that the reason might be the ambiguity of the political situation in Libya.
Dimassi said in a statement to Al-Arab newspaper that the debts belong to private hospital institutions, where many Libyans were treated when protests against the rule of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi broke out in Libya in February 2011.
He denied that there are real numbers regarding these debts, given that they are linked to individuals and not to the state and institutions in Libya, and this increases the negligence in bearing responsibilities.
Libya will pay off its debts to Tunisia, amounting to US$ 250 million, before the end of this year. The promise was made by Libyan prime minister Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba during his two-day multi-ministerial visit to the neighbouring country that started Wednesday.
Libya’s debt includes US$ 85 million to the electricity sector, US$ 30 million to the civil aviation, and US$ 85 million to health clinics.
