The Board of Directors of the Libyan Investment Authority issued a decision on Thursday to fire Mohammed Attiyah Obeidi from the duties of Chairman of the Board of the Libya-Africa Investment Portfolio and commissioned Fadlallah Abdul Hamid as his substitute.

In response to this decision, Obeidi accused Qatar to being behind his dismissal. In a statement issued on Thursday, Obeidi added that one of the reasons for his dismissal is his visit to the headquarters of Dignity Operation command accompanied by figures from Cyrenaica.

Obeidi claimed that a group of what he called “political Islam” is attempting to control state institutions and their funds.
