RIYADH: Libya is set to increase its oil production to two million barrels a day, according to its government. The commodity has been a key source of revenue for Libya, with oil production directly influencing global markets and prices. However, political instability and conflicts have led to fluctuating oil production. In July, the African nation announced the continuation of oil production at two major oil fields after a brief shutdown by demonstrators protesting the arrest of a former minister. “Operations have resumed in the Al-Sharara and Al-Fil oil fields ... after they were suspended,” said the Oil Ministry, part of the UN-brokered Government of National Unity based in Tripoli.

This was to form an interim government that would reunite their two administrations and take the country into elections to choose a permanent government. But the United Nations (UN) and most other external actors have opposed the deal, insisting on elections before a new government is formed. The plan enjoys the support of the east-based military strongman Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, which is perhaps both a plus and a minus. Proponents of the plan warned that the turbulence of elections could upset the fragile peace that has prevailed for over a year. The Tobruk and Tripoli administrations remain divided on some of these issues, although they have agreed on an interim government before elections.

Thus, the UN’s approach to Libya needs to be seriously reevaluated. Only then can there be any hope of achieving a durable and inclusive peace in Libya, a peace that is more than simply a shimmering mirage in the desert.
