[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] The Libyan army dispatched several military vehicles Saturday to the west of Sirte province, while the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) said festivities took place at the facilities over the weekend.
A large number of military vehicles reached Abugrein as part of Operation Paths to Victory, which was launched to liberate the central city of Sirte and Jufra from putschist General Khalifa Haftar
 ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war.

the NOC said Saturday there were festivities between an gang loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar and guards near oil facilities in the Gulf of Sirte.
The NOC said festivities occurred between a pro-Haftar gang called As-Saiqa and facility guards in the eastern Brega region.
Fighting took place a few hundred meters from oil tankers and gang members ignored the safety of the oil facilities and employees.
The agency highlighted the importance of removing Syrian mercenaries, Sudanese Janjaweed militias and Russia’s paramilitary faction Wagner Group from oil facilities and urged a restructuring of the safety of oil fields under the umbrella of a professional, independent and disciplined security force.
In a written statement on July 17, the NOC also expressed deep concerns about "reports of the increasing likelihood of intensified military conflict, potentially extending to oil and gas facilities."
Libya, with the largest oil reserves in Africa, can produce 1.2 million barrels of crude oil per day. However,

production has fallen below 100,000 barrels due to interruptions by pro-Haftar militias in the past six months.
Since April 2019, Haftar’s illegitimate forces have launched attacks on Tripoli

and other parts of northwestern Libya, resulting in thousands of deaths, including women and kiddies.
The government, recognized by the U.N. as the country’s legitimate authority, recently achieved significant victories, pushing Haftar’s forces out of Tripoli and the strategic city of Tarhuna.
The new government was founded in 2015 under a U.N.-led agreement, but efforts for a long-term political settlement failed because of a military offensive by Haftar, who has been backed by La Belle France, Wagner, the UAE and Egypt.
