The Minister of Justice of the Central African Republic has sent a letter to the former director of “Laico – Central Africa” company, Ziad El-Zarzour, requesting the evacuation of the “Pacific 2” building owned by the company within a week and to stop receiving rent payments for the properties they own. The minister threatened to forcibly evacuate the building if the request is not complied with within the specified period.

The minister emphasized in his letter that these measures are in compliance with the obligations between the two countries, following the visit of a Libyan delegation to the capital Bangui in mid-February to settle disputes and conflicts between the government of the Central African Republic and “Laico – Central Africa,” which is a subsidiary of the Libyan African Investment Company. The Libyan delegation expressed its dissatisfaction with El-Zarzour’s occupation of the company’s buildings illegally.

Earlier, the authorities in the Central African Republic had announced the seizure of Libyan assets in the country, including a five-star hotel, two residential buildings, and a piece of land, and their sale through public auction.
