Libya’s internationally recognized government condemned efforts to close the Sharara oil field, labeling them as “political blackmail” on Sunday.
The government emphasized its commitment to protecting the Libyan people’s interests after local protesters partially shut down the field on Saturday.
The Sharara oil field, a major production area with a daily capacity of about 300,000 barrels, has faced frequent disruptions from local protesters for political reasons.
Authorities are determined to counter any actions that threaten the field’s operations, underlining the critical role the site plays in Libya’s economy.
The ongoing protests highlight the tense political climate and the significant impact of local unrest on Libya’s oil production and national stability.
