Libya to stop exporting oil to Qatar

CAIRO - 15 June, 2017: Prime Minister of Libya’s transition government Abdullah al-Thinni decided to stop oil exports executed via Qatari-owned companies, accusing Qatar of funding terrorist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Libyan militias.

The Libyan government declared the stop of oil export via Glencore PLC in coordination with Libya's Armed Forces' General Command, in a press conference on Wednesday.


The government stressed oil and gas exporting companies, such as the Libyan Oil Arab Gulf, must be notified to stop dealing with all the Qatari-owned companies.
