The head of the Oil Workers’ Union, Salem Al-Rumaih, stated that the military forces in eastern Libya, referring to Khalifa Haftar’s forces, are the ones seeking to close down the oil sector and have ordered the Oil Crescent Movement to organize protests.
Al-Rumaih further explained in an interview with Sada newspaper that the forces in eastern Libya aim to control all oil resources and companies, as was the case with the Gulf Oil Company.
He accused these forces of stealing over 30% of oil production for their own benefit, noting that they use the companies they wish to transfer as a leverage to benefit from smuggling and theft.
