The United States of America, through its ambassador and special envoy to Libya, “Richard Norland,” called on Libyan political actors to refrain from threatening to shut down the oil, which would have devastating repercussions on the Libyan economy and would harm all Libyans.
In a tweet published yesterday, by the US embassy, Norland said, “We call on all Libyan leaders to put in place a comprehensive mechanism to control revenues as a constructive way to address grievances about the distribution of oil revenues and to establish transparency without jeopardizing the integrity of Libya’s economy or the non-political nature of the National Oil Corporation.”
