 Libya has offered to help Sierra Leone in its post-war rescuscitation of the
tourism industry and energy supply sector, the government here said on Tuesday.
A team of technical experts is due in Sierra Leone "within weeks ... to
undertake feasibility studies in tourism and energy provision," a government
statement said.
The pledges, which include the introduction of flights between Freetown and
Tripoli as well as to London by Libya's Afriqiya Airways, followed a weekend
visit to Libya by President Ernest Bai Koroma.
Tripoli has also offered to construct a five-star hotel, 30 schools and a
prosthetics factory for the production of artificial limbs for mainly war-time
amputees.
Libya will dispatch a team of Swiss engineers to carry out a feasibility
study to see how Libya can help increase the availability of electricity in the
war-battered west African country
