Libya unity government urges UN to block ‘illegal’ oil sales

TRIPOLI, June 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Libya’s unity government on Tuesday
called on the UN Security Council to block any “illegal” oil exports from the
chaos-hit country after a rival administration won control of key ports.

The appeal by the UN-backed Government of National Accord follows the
seizure of two eastern ports by military strongman Khalifa Haftar, who said
they would be handed over to the unrecognised administration in the east.
