The UN mission in Libya on Saturday welcomed an announcement of lifting the state of “force majeure” from Libya’s eastern Sidra and Ras Lanuf ports.

“This decision is a result of the confidence-building measures agreed and implemented through the Joint Military Commission. It’s a win-win for the Libyan people,” the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said in a statement.

The UN mission said the announcement “demonstrates what can be accomplished when Libyans come together in good faith for the sake of their country”.
