โSystematic discrimination against women, unequal opportunities, and limited access to resources not only hinder individuals from realizing their potential, but also the overall prosperity and resilience of Libyan society,โ Sigmund said.

Financial markets are witnessing continuous turmoil against the backdrop of the Iranian attack on Israel, and the possibility of the latterโs response, amid expectations of a rise in oil prices in the trading session tomorrow, Monday.
The evolution of prices depends on the shape of the response taken by Israel and Western powers, as concerns have contributed to pushing oil prices to their highest levels since last October.
The price of benchmark Brent crude closed on Friday at $92.18 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate crude futures closed at $85.66 a barrel, recording a rise of 64 cents.
Tamas Varga, an analyst at oil brokerage BVM, confirmed the possibility of a rise in oil prices when trading resumes, noting that the hikes will be temporary unless oil supplies from the region are permanently affected.

Reuters reported that Somali pirates released the hijacked ship โAbdullahโ and its crew of 23 members after a ransom of $5 million was paid.
One of the pirates, Abdul Rashid Yusuf, told the agency that they received the money two nights ago as usual, then validated and divided the funds, before releasing the ship and its entire crew on Sunday, avoiding government forces.
Somali government officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The Bangladeshi-flagged bulk ship was hijacked in March while on its voyage from Mozambique to the United Arab Emirates, about 600 nautical miles east of the Somali capital Mogadishu.
Waters off the Somali coast were in chaos between 2008 and 2018 due to pirate activity, and things remained calm until the end of last year, when pirate activity began to rise again.

The Directorate General of Meteorology in Morocco predicted that several regions will witness a heat wave accompanied by strong wind gusts, starting from Thursday until next Monday.
Temperatures are expected to rise to levels about nine degrees above annual averages in some areas.
The communications officer at the Directorate General of Meteorology, Hussein Youabed, stated that the expected rise in temperatures is due to the concentration of an air rise in the western Mediterranean, which leads to directing eastern winds towards the interior regions of the Kingdom, bringing with it hot and dry air masses from the Sahara desert.
Morocco is witnessing a deterioration in the water situation and an exacerbation of drought, as many areas suffer from shortages of fresh water and irrigation, which makes the agricultural and economic conditions of citizens more difficult.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the parties involved in the Middle East to exercise restraint, citing Moscowโs warnings that failure to resolve crises in the region, particularly the war in Gaza, would inflame the situation.
