The Energy and Natural Resources Committee of Tripoli-based House of Representatives (HoR), on Sunday expressed its indignation at the entitlement of Russian ‘Wagner Forces’ to be present on the Sharara Oil Field and the Ras Lanuf Airport.

In a statement issued to the international community, it said that this action enabled the entry of Janjawid mercenaries from the eastern region to flood the oil fields, with financial support from the Emirates, along with Egyptian support.

The Libyan people will never accept the decisions of countries with their own ulterior motives, read the statement, stressing the need for all oil fields and ports to be united under the banner of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and the necessity to rid the oil sector from being used as a bargaining chip.
