Libya approves first unified budget in more than a decade

Libya's rival legislative bodies have approved a unified state budget for the first time in over a decade, marking a rare moment of cooperation in a country fractured by years of conflict. Governor Naji Issa stated that the agreement shows Libya can overcome its divisions. Despite this breakthrough, political divisions remain entrenched, particularly with forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar controlling large areas, including key oil-producing regions.
