The Libyan African Investment Company, LAICO, controlled by the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) headquartered in Tripoli, has recovered the ownership of Bahari Beach – a tourist resort in the Tanzania capital of Dar es Salaam, Libya Observer reports.

The hotel, property of the Libyan state has been illegally controlled by another part since 2016.
A source from LAICO told the media that all legal procedures have been put in place in preparation to restore the ownership of the site to the Libyan state.
