Tripoli, 16 November 2014:
The Ajwad Almoharekat company which is the sole distributor for Mazda in Libya, opened its . . .[restrict]first Mazda car showroom today in Tripoli. It is the first time in nearly 40 years that Mazda vehicles have been sold in the city. The previous agency was nationalised by Qaddafi in 1976.
Ajwad Almoharekat is a joint venture between the HB Group, which has 50 percent, and Ahmed Al-Ghallal and Ibrahim El-Darrat (25 percent each).
The company’s first Mazda showroom opened in Benghazi just before the fighting started there. Business is now being focused on Tripoli.
“We are not going to loose faith in Libya’s future and potential,” declared Husni Bey, the head of the HB Group, today after the showroom opening in Tripoli’s Saraj district.
Expressing his own “deep” distress about “the warmongering” in Libya and in particular the “destruction of Benghazi”, Husni Bey added his voice to the many others that “there will never be a winner by force in Libya”. But he was equally insistent that, despite the crisis, business can and must thrive.
