Libya: PFG Threatens to Close Oil Facilities to Press Demands
Libya's Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG) threatened on Sunday to close all oil and gas facilities in the country's western region after the end of a 10-day deadline to authorities to meet their demands, including a 67% salary rise. Members of PFG, a military group tasked with protecting oil facilities, made the threat in videos posted online. Video footage on social media platforms X and Facebook showed a group of PFG members in military uniforms closing a feeder valve to the Mellitah oil complex in western Tripoli.
