According to Ministry of Defence-NUG, there was heavy fighting between the junta army and CNDF near Parthe village in Phalan Township at about 10:00 am Saturday. Reportedly, four junta soldiers died and ten others were injured.
Lebanese banks have mostly locked depositors out of their dollar accounts and blocked transfers abroad.
Under a central bank circular last year, depositors were permitted to withdraw dollars, with the funds paid in the local currency at a rate of 3,900 pounds to the dollar.
That is only about a third of the value of dollars on the black market, but has been the only way many Lebanese have been able to access their funds.
The central bank statement did not make clear if an alternative system would be introduced to allow access to dollars in accounts. Published: June 3, 2021 08:27 AM

TRIPOLI - Libyan political analysts view with suspicion the slowing down of the appointment process for new figures in key government positions.
They do not rule out the possibility that the ultimate aim of the jockeying around the process aims to delay the appointments so as to maintain the incumbents in place, especially the governor of the Central Bank, Saddek Elkaber, who has been entrenched in the same position for nearly ten years.
