Libya plans to remove protesters who have seized eastern ports vital for lucrative oil exports within the next few days, Reuters reported on Monday.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said on January 19 that the protesters would be removed, reportedly telling Libya’s Al-Ahrar news channel that he did not want the country to slip off the abyss into another civil war. He did not say whether force would be used to remove the group of protesters.
Libya has seen demonstrators occupy its three eastern oil ports which account for 600,000 bpd of the country’s exports.
“In the next days we’re about to clear the ports of the protesters unless they leave them,” Zeidan reportedly said. While Zeidan is calling for the removal of the protesters he did say tribal leaders were still trying to end this standoff peacefully.
