Libya's government replaced the National Oil Corporation chief in a dramatic move that prompted the US to warn against any 'armed confrontation'
The US embassy says it is following developments"with deep concern" and stresses that the National Oil Corporation is vital to Libya's"stability and prosperity".Libya's government has replaced the head of the key National Oil Corporation in a dramatic move that prompted the United States to warn against any "armed confrontation" over the sector.
On Thursday morning, Bengdara took up office at NOC headquarters in Tripoli, where he held a news conference. Dbeibah's move against Sanalla follows months of rising tensions in Libya after the country's eastern-based parliament appointed a rival government, led by former interior minister Fathi Bashagha and seen as backed by warlord Khalifa Haftar.
Since April, pro-Haftar militias have blockaded key eastern oil facilities to put pressure on Dbeibah.
