One of the results of the blockade is the change in the trend of international oil prices, which closed slightly higher. The blockade is compounded by attacks from Haftar’s forces against some cities in southern Tripoli, according to GNA operation spokesperson Abdul-Malik Al-Madani to defend the capital.
To try to understand the situation, since the overthrow of the late ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, two centers of power have emerged in Libya: one in the east of the country, led by Commander Khalifa Haftar, primarily supported by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, and another in Tripoli, the Government of National Accord (GNA), recognized by the UN.
The United Arab Emirates and Egypt, supporters of Haftar, have been criticized by the Libyan government for fueling the conflict.
