The Libyan oil ports of Es Sider, Ras Lanuf, and Brega have been reportedly seized by forces loyal to eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar. The ports were seized from troops loyal to the Government of National Accord (GNA).
Ahmed al-Masmari, a spokesman for Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), said LNA fighters seized control of Es Sider, Ras Lanuf and Brega, but still faced resistance at the port of Zueitina and around the nearby town of Ajdabiya.
As if Libya did not have enough to contend with in trying to oust Daesh militants out of the country it is consistently plagued by battling factions, including the LNA and the government in the East, who seem only to care for the control of the country’s petroleum resources and the power it lends them.
