The Libyan Government of “National Unity” announced its strong rejection of attempts to disrupt oil production in the “Sharara” field, which is one of the largest oil fields in the country and constitutes about 40% of Libya’s total oil production.
The government warned in an official statement that closing the field would increase the suffering of the Libyan people and cause serious damage to the national economy.
The government’s statement stated that these repeated closures threaten to exacerbate the economic crisis and negatively affect the lives of citizens, stressing that the country’s wealth is the right of all Libyans and should not be used to achieve political or personal goals.
The government also stressed that it will take all necessary measures to protect the interests of the Libyan people and defend their rights.
In a related context, local sources indicated that preparations to close the “Sharara” field have already begun, despite some media reports denying this news.
The sources stated that field employees received notifications that the closure would begin tomorrow morning, amid local protests whose demands have not yet been fully clarified.
Earlier reports said local protesters had partially shut down the field, while some Libyan media outlets reported that an unidentified group had received orders to shut down the field, heightening tensions in the region and raising fears of a worsening oil crisis in the country.
