The Italian military hospital continues to stir up questions over the justification for its presence since the facility achieved its declared objective years ago. However, the Italian facility is still present in Misurata despite the fact that it is officially listed as a concluded operation. Over the years, Italian commanders who run the facility avoided to disclose its current exact role after it had accomplished its declared mission. Instead, Italian military leaders gave obscure statements to journalists about the nature of hospital’s work. “Today our mission has evolved,” Figliuolo told Italian soldiers in Misurata.

CAIRO (AP) — Libya resumed oil exports Wednesday, ending a hiatus that lasted months. The resumption came after the country restarted production at oil fields following the firing of the chairman of the state-run oil corporation by one of the country’s rival governments. A Malta-flagged tanker, Matala, docked at the al-Sidra terminal to ship one million barrels of crude oil, the new leadership of the National Oil Corporation said. Production was resumed Tuesday at several fields including the Sharara, the county’s largest, after three months of closure, the NOC announced. Tribal leaders, aligned with Hifter, in April shut down oil facilities, including the country’s largest oil field and major terminals, likely to deprive Dbeibah’s from funds.

By NASSER KARIMI and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOVRussian President Vladimir Putin won staunch support from Iran on Tuesday for his country’s military campaign in Ukraine, with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei saying the West opposes an “independent and strong” Russia. NATO allies have bolstered their military presence in Eastern Europe and provided Ukraine with weapons to help counter the Russian attack. “If the road would have been open to NATO, it will not recognize any limit and boundary,” Khamenei told Putin. Putin hailed the importance of close ties between Moscow and Tehran at his meetings with the Iranian leaders.

This move was made specifically to allow an oil tanker ship to carry condensate for use in power generation in the country, but the expectations were that it would presage a broader opening of Libya’s oil export infrastructure. Sanalla, highly respected by several international oil companies (IOCs) for keeping much of Libya’s oil production flowing despite extreme political pressures from all sides in the ongoing civil conflict, has rejected Prime Minister Dbeibah’s authority to sack him. This said, the NOC had plans in place before 2011 to roll out enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to increase crude oil production at maturing oil fields. It is apposite to remember at this point that Libya still has around 48 billion barrels of proved crude oil reserves – the largest in Africa. Indeed, during the last major series of blockades of Libya’s oil infrastructure, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Richard Norland, urged the country’s central bank to safeguard oil revenue from misappropriation.

Outgoing Libyan Prime minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh has admitted that he had made a deal to re-form the board of directors of the National Oil Corporation in exchange for solving the problem of the suspension of oil exports, in agreement with all the members of the new council who hail from different regions such as Zintan, Misrata, the South, Benghazi and the Oil Crescent region. The other reason for the deal was to liberate the Corporation from individual control that caused the crisis of closing the oil and suspending production and export, stressing that his decree was in the interest of the people, according to the Prime Minister. Dbeibeh said in a speech addressed directly to the Libyan people, describing it as the only way to convey the truth amid the chaos of rumors, lies and fabricated news, that he did not expect changing a board of directors affiliated with the government, in reference to the former National Oil Corporation board, would contribute to the collapse of the projects of the aspirants in the executive authority and the continuation of those controlling the legislative authority for 10 years.
