UN official calls for end to production blockade on Libyan oil
THE United Nation’s top official for Libya called for the lifting of the production blockade at two oil fields in the country today, as oil prices soared by nearly $10 a barrel.
UN special adviser on Libya Stephanie Williams said blocking oil production from the Sharara and el-Feel fields “deprives all Libyans from their major source of revenue.”
“The oil blockade should be lifted,” she said on Twitter.
