The US Embassy in Libya stressed the need to immediately end the oil fields closure and find a Libyan mechanism to resolve disputes instead of dependent on services, through a statement published today, Wednesday, on its official Facebook page.
The United States of America indicated in its statement that the closure harms all Libyans and that it has repercussions on the global economy, and warns of an environmental catastrophe that will cost Libya millions.
The statement also noted that Washington recommended, before the closure, that the transfer of revenues be subject to monitoring and supervision through a Libyan-led financial mechanism, but that officials decided independently to transfer more amounts.
