The Italian news agency Nova reported ongoing consultations between the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the “General Command” regarding the measures to be taken in response to the escalation by the Presidential Council Chairman over his decisions concerning the Central Bank.
These consultations include the possibility of a complete shutdown of the oil fields.
According to the Italian agency, Speaker Aguila Saleh and General Command leader Khalifa Haftar are threatening to close the oil fields to pressure the Presidential Council and the Government of National Unity to reverse the dismissal of Central Bank Governor Sadiq Al-Kabeer and to allow for changes in the management of the financial institution in the near future.
