A major conference for the rehabilitation of the flood-devastated city of Derna has been postponed by Libya’s eastern authorities, according to a new development. The event has been moved from its original date of October 10 to November 1-2. To provide businesses and creative studios enough time to plan their projects is the stated rationale.
International opposition to the decision to postpone the meeting serves as a reminder of how urgent it is to deal with the effects of the floods in Derna. This incident highlights the difficulties the eastern government of Libya has encountered managing the recovery process after the disaster.
Floods that killed many people in the city of Derna in northeastern Libya necessitated extensive restoration and rehabilitation. Convening the reconstruction conference later than planned suggests that there may be difficulties in coordinating activities, accumulating resources, and developing a coherent plan for the city’s recovery.
But it’s also possible to view the committee in charge of organizing the meeting’s decision to push the conference to November 1-2 as a calculated move. With the extra time, participating businesses and creative studios may create projects that are well-thought-out, successful, and specifically suited to Derna’s requirements.
