Libya: New Central Bank governor sworn in

Fauzi Abokhzam was sworn in Wednesday in Benghazi, two days after Libya’s Parliament appointed him governor of the Central Bank. He succeeds Naji Issa, whose resignation was first rejected in August and eventually accepted in October. The article says Abokhzam was chosen by 90 lawmakers, although the Libyan Parliament has 78 members. His appointment comes as the country remains divided between the government in Tripoli and the eastern administration aligned with Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, amid instability since Muammar Gaddafi’s fall in 2011.
