Libya is looking to find a peaceful way to end the ongoing oil strikes in the country in an effort to revive its falling crude oil export totals. Prime Minister Ali Zidan said that the government wants a peaceful solution, but will take alternative action if needed.
“We will take other measures if these peaceful measures do not succeed,” he told a news conference, he did not say what those measures were however.
Zidan reported that he has spoken to tribal leaders in the east, the focus of oil sector disruption, and they rejected calls for partition of the country.
“They respect the legality and unity of the nation,” he said.
The blame is mainly being put on non-oil workers and for the strikes. These strikes have cost the country an estimated $2 billion in lost revenue.
