A group of people loyal to Haftar shut down Zueitina oil port on Friday, identical sources from the Oil Crescent region have confirmed.

At the same time, a pro-Haftar group who called themselves "the forum of tribes and Libyan cities" announced earlier their intention to shut down all oil ports starting from Zueitina.

In addition, accounts on social media and activists loyal to Haftar have been calling for days now for the closure of the oil ports and fields, as a way to pressure the Presidential Council to hand over power to Haftar and allow his forces to enter Tripoli.
