Libya's Haftar says he will lift oil blockade - TODAYonline

Eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar announced on Friday he would lift for one month his blockade of oil output and said he had agreed with the rival Tripoli government on "fair distribution" of energy revenue.

A resumption of oil exports after the eight-month blockade would relieve mounting financial pressure for both sides in the Libyan conflict and could remove a major obstacle towards a political settlement, but it is not yet clear if the declared agreement has wider support.
"We are ready to open oil fields, to secure the future of Libya, for one month," Haftar said in a statement distributed by his spokesman after a brief televised broadcast in which he announced that it had "been decided" to resume oil production.

  1. Der lybische General Chalifa Haftar hat das Ende einer vor acht Monaten begonnenen Blockade der Ölausfuhr verkündet...

    Wie Haftar am Freitag in einer Fernsehansprache mitteilte, sei beschlossen worden, den Ölexport wieder aufzunehmen. Bedingung dafür sei, dass die Einnahmen gerecht verteilt würden. Sie dürften nicht zur „Unterstützung von Terror“ eingesetzt oder geplündert werden, so Haftar.

    Anhänger des Generals hatten im Januar eine Blockade der Ölproduktion begonnen. Damit wollten sie Druck auf die Regierung in Tripolis ausüben. Der Stopp der Ölproduktion brachte das Krisenland um Milliardeneinnahmen, von denen seine Wirtschaft abhängt.
