Libya has been plalgued by disruption by armed militias and strike's by National Oil Corporation(NOC) workers who closed oilfields over the lcation of NOC headquarters in the East and Tebu demonstratorswho closed the Sharara oilfield near Obari for nearly two weeks over claims that they were not being given the opportunity to work on the fields.Protestors also occupied the the Zueitina oil terminal demanding work.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said that the protests had cost Libya nearly $350 million in lost revenues, and said the state would not give into blackmail. He added that the government would use all measures to protect Libya's vital installations.The government would seek to prosecute those in any demonstration causing major disruption to the state,the Tripoli Post reported.
