Today, Eastern Libya’s foreign minister claimed that his government, parallel to the internationally recognised administration in Tripoli, cannot force eastern tribesmen to lift oil blockade.
“We cannot use our power to lift the blockade,” Abdulhadi Lahweej told journalists in Geneva.
He also reiterated that his side, led by Khalifa Haftar, will not participate in political talks, adding that there was no agreement with the U.N. mission on the composition of their delegation. “The participation for the moment is suspended,” he said.
