Libyan rebels agree to end oil terminal siege

  • 10 years ago
Rebels in Libya have agreed to re-open two of the four oil terminals they have blockaded since July, according to the country's official news agency, LANA. The deal between the government and rebels over the Zueitina and Hariga oil ports was announced on Sunday. The restarting of Libya's eastern oil ports could boost Libya's government, which has struggled to control the country since the removal and death of Muammar Gaddafi three nearly years ago.
