Earlier in the week, the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by General Khalifa Haftar, captured oil terminals Ras Lanuf and Sidra, which will be handed over to the unrecognized government in eastern Libya.
The GNA said Haftar’s actions will worsen Libya’s division and sabotage international and domestic efforts to restore stability in Libya.
