The United States, Britain, France and Italy rejected on Wednesday Haftar’s decision to transfer oil ports to the parallel National Oil Corporation, demanding that it be kept under exclusive control of the legitimate Oil Corporation in Tripoli.
In a joint statement, the four countries expressed their concern over the decision of the Haftar Forces on the transfer of the management of oil ports to an illegal entity, stressing that the international community will hold accountable those who undermine the peace, security and stability of Libya.
The four nations called on all armed parties to immediately withdraw from oil facilities with no conditions before further damage, warning of attempts to evade the Security Council resolutions.
Haftar Forces announced on Monday it was handing over oil ports to the parallel National Oil Corporation in the Eastern province
