Friedman Institute Releases Report on ” Analysis on Libyan Oil and Gas Supply – Italy’s Strategic Role in Mediterranean Energy “
Rome, Italy – 10/12/2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Recently, Friedman Institute has released its analysis report “Libyan Oil and Gas Supply – Italy’s Strategic Role in Mediterranean Energy “. Italy is positioning itself as a central energy hub in the Mediterranean, a strategy underpinned by its continued reliance on Libyan oil and gas. According to a recent analytical note published by the Istituto Friedman, Italy stands to benefit from the vast untapped energy resources in Libya, despite the country’s ongoing instability. The analysis, titled “La turbolenta Libia: Una grande opportunità per l’Italia”, highlights the growing importance of Libyan energy supplies to Italy and the geopolitical challenges and opportunities these pose.
The National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya has made a significant announcement: approximately 70% of Libya’s territory remains unexplored for oil and gas resources, suggesting significant growth potential for the sector. Libyan NOC Chairman Farhat Bengdara emphasized the corporation’s commitment to developing these resources through international partnerships. Libya already holds the largest proven oil reserves in Africa, with over 48 billion barrels of oil and significant natural gas reserves. Despite these rich resources, Libya remains a high-risk investment destination due to its unstable political and security situation.
The country, which fell into chaos after the 2011 NATO-backed revolution that overthrew leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been divided between two rival governments: one in the east and one in Tripoli in the west. In this context, Italy remains one of the primary international stakeholders in Libyan energy, importing substantial quantities of oil and gas despite the volatility of production levels.
Italy’s Energy Deal with Libya: A Double-Edged Sword
The 2023 energy deal between Italy and Libya, worth $8 billion, has stirred considerable debate. Critics, including Libyan political figures and international energy experts, have raised concerns about the agreement’s legality and its long-term implications. Experts also pointed out that instability, rising domestic demand, and a lack of investment have seriously hampered Libya’s ability to meet foreign gas export needs.
The risks associated with the Libyan energy market have been highlighted in the wake of a five-week-old block resulting from a dispute over control of the Central Bank of Libya. This disruption has had a far-reaching impact, particularly on European energy markets. A prolonged reduction in Libyan oil exports could force European stakeholders to reassess their strategic and contractual commitments.
Another recent development has been the mobilization of militias in response to one Italian energy company’s exploration activities in the Hamada oil and gas field. This incident underlines the risks posed by the ongoing instability in Libya, particularly for foreign investors. A Middle East expert, commented that the incident “highlights the growing risks for their investments in Libya.”
Despite these challenges, Italy is determined to maintain and expand its role as a key energy player in the Mediterranean region. The country already imports gas through three major pipelines from Azerbaijan, Libya, and Algeria, with additional plans for floating storage and regasification units to import more gas from Egypt and Israel.
As Europe seeks to diversify its energy sources, especially in the wake of the energy crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, Italy’s strategic location as a Mediterranean energy hub becomes more significant. If countries like Germany decide to increase their imports from Mediterranean producers, Italy could play a crucial role in facilitating these exports, leveraging its infrastructure for storing and transiting natural gas via depleted reservoirs in the Po Valley.
However, Italy’s ambitions could face challenges from regional powers competing for influence in Libya’s energy sector. Countries like Turkey, France, and the United Arab Emirates have already made significant investments in Libya’s energy resources and could resist Italy’s increasing dominance in the region.
As some European media outlets report , Italy is well aware of the potential risks, that’s why it took action in securing its oil operations.
The Friedman Institute’s analysis underscores the critical geopolitical role that Libya’s energy resources play in Italy’s energy future. Despite the instability and security risks that continue to plague Libya, the potential rewards for Italy are substantial. The country’s efforts to secure a central position in the Mediterranean energy landscape, coupled with Libya’s untapped resources, could help Italy diversify its energy supply and enhance its geopolitical influence.

Scientology Church Opens in Gqeberha Marking a New Era of Hope and Humanitarian Action
In a landmark event in Nelson Mandela Bay, the Church of Scientology opened its new Ideal Org in Gqeberha, South Africa. This historic occasion celebrates spiritual renewal, cultural restoration, and far-reaching humanitarian work, including disaster relief and drug rehabilitation.
Last April 6, 2025, In the heart of Nelson Mandela Bay, at GQEBERHA, SOUTH AFRICA — where cobbled streets meet the windswept sea, a near-century-old skyscraper once faded by time now gleams with new purpose. On a luminous Sunday afternoon in Gqeberha, formerly Port Elizabeth, the historic Market Square burst into celebration as the Church of Scientology inaugurated its newest Ideal Organization—an event that blended spiritual significance with a resounding declaration of social commitment.
Under the sweeping blue skies of South Africa’s Sunshine Coast, traditional dancers and the pulse of djembe drums welcomed thousands who gathered to witness what is being hailed as a landmark both in architecture and in human endeavor. The unveiling of the Ideal Church of Scientology Eastern Cape marks more than the restoration of a physical edifice—it signals the resurgence of a vision rooted in help, healing, and hope.

A Vision Realized, a Legacy Restored
With civic leaders, residents, and Scientologists in attendance, the ceremony was led by Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Church of Scientology. Addressing an electrified crowd, Miscavige called the moment “a fulfillment of Africa’s ever-present call for freedom,” drawing a powerful parallel between the nation’s struggle for liberation and Scientology’s spiritual mission.
The building itself—an art deco jewel brought back to life after 50,000 hours of meticulous restoration—is now a soaring 10-story monument anchoring Market Square’s historic skyline. “You turned lemons into lemonade,” remarked Mr. Graham Taylor, Chairman of the Historical Society of Port Elizabeth, saluting the Church’s commitment to preserving local heritage. “This is the most significant contribution to our social infrastructure in over 50 years—actually, ever.”
The sense of rebirth and optimism was palpable as attendees wandered through the state-of-the-art facility, which houses seminar rooms, classrooms, a chapel for interfaith gatherings, and a vast Public Information Center with over 1,000 films detailing the beliefs, practices, and humanitarian work of the Church.
Humanitarian Action in the Church’s DNA
But the celebration was not merely about bricks and mortar. It was a tribute to a track record of action—concrete, consistent, and lifesaving.
Prince Sonwabile Ndamase, whose family was personally helped by Scientology Volunteer Ministers during the pandemic, offered perhaps the most stirring testimony of the day: “My own story with you begins in a flash of yellow,” he said, referring to the unmistakable jackets of the Volunteer Ministers. “You went into our villages, our townships, our cities—everywhere. Your presence showed every South African that, truly, Something Can Be Done About It.”
That phrase—once a hopeful slogan—has become a living reality across South Africa. Scientology’s Volunteer Ministers have been a visible force in times of crisis, from health emergencies to natural disasters. Their work has earned them accolades from government officials and community leaders alike.
Ms. Patricia Mokwala, a specialist with the National Department of Social Development, shared that her Ministry Director insisted she visit the Church in person. “Social development is about igniting potential,” she said. “But you teach something revolutionary: that the solution comes from within.”
The Church’s humanitarian initiatives extend well beyond emergency response. Rev. Thabang Xaba highlighted the transformative power of the Narconon drug rehabilitation program, rooted in the teachings of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. “Spiritual confusion transformed into newfound purpose,” he said, recounting how the program rescued a young man from the brink of death or imprisonment.
These programs form the backbone of the Church’s humanitarian outreach—ranging from global human rights education and drug prevention campaigns to a worldwide literacy initiative and one of the largest independent disaster relief networks on the planet.
A Church for All, a Commitment for Generations
The Eastern Cape Ideal Org is the fourth of its kind in South Africa, joining sister churches in Pretoria, Johannesburg North, and Johannesburg. Together, they form a triangle of faith that surrounds the Advanced Organization for Africa, housed in the majestic Castle Kyalami.
This expansion is part of a global wave: Ideal Orgs have opened across Latin America, Europe, Asia, and North America—each designed to serve both Scientologists and the broader community.
But here, in Gqeberha, the message hits with particular resonance. It is a city shaped by struggle, sacrifice, and rebirth. And in that spirit, the new Church stands as more than a place of worship—it is a sanctuary for collaboration, a lighthouse for the lost, and a hub of human upliftment.
As the sun set on Market Square, its rays glinting off newly polished granite and restored lion heads, it was not only a building that had been reborn. It was the spirit of a community—invigorated, inspired, and united by the belief that help is not a concept, but a duty.
And in that belief, perhaps, lies the deepest truth of all: that even in a fractured world, there are those who rise—not only to rebuild walls, but to lift hearts.
