Gulf Powers, Iran, and Turkey Continue to Destabilize Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen (Islamic Facade)Kanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay WalkerModern Tokyo TimesThe centralized nations of Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen have been torn to pieces. Accordingly, the Islamic facade aimed at Israel is a convenient tool to brush under the carpet of ongoing intrigues in Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

Libya's latest political crisis wiped out 570,000 b/d of its crude oil production in September, but with the standoff now resolved, output could come roaring back to surpass even pre-crisis levels, according to industry sources. "Oil and condensate production rates have surged by nearly 85,000 barrels over the past two days. The price decline led OPEC – of which Libya is a member – to postpone plans to unwind some 2.2 million b/d of output cuts. In the summer of 2022, Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army blockaded key oilfields, reducing production and exports to a trickle. Oil accounts for some 93% of government revenues making the sector and key related institutions such as the oil ministry, NOC and central bank, which distributes oil revenues key political footballs.

October 11, 2024: Libya has been chaotic since dictator Muammar Gaddafi was ousted from office and killed in 2011. Eastern Libya is controlled by the LNA (Libyan National Army) while western Libya is run by the Government of National Accord (GNA). By the end of 2019, Turkey was on the brink of deploying combat troops and warships to Libya as part of an effort to prevent the LNA from reuniting Libya. Although Libya holds significant oil reserves, the volatility in production has hampered consistent revenue generation. The current military and economic situations in Libya are chaotic.
