The head of Energy Committee in the House of Representatives (HoR), Issa Al-Oreibi, has warned companies belonging to the parallel government in the east not to deal with the Chairman of Tripoli-based National Oil Corporation (NOC) "Mustafa Sanallah" because of what he considered the latter's opposition to the deployment of Khalifa Haftar's armed groups in the south.

In a statement Thursday, Al-Oreibi described Sanallah’s remarks, regarding the military operations in the south, as negative, criticizing at the same time his statements on the demand for the deployment of professional forces to guard the oil facilities, under the management of the NOC.
