⬇️Thread. Ref @ClaudiaGazzini quote. In reality, HOR/LNA has no issue with revenue sharing but w/ plundering of CBL by #Turkey-backed militias. LNA twice freed the oil crescent from militias and handed its control to #Libya's NOC @mck_beth @patrickwintour

1) 2016: Jadhran who for years controlled the terminals and blocked exports was forced out by the LNA.
2018: Jadhran (terror org Benghazi Defense Brigades loyal to S. Ghariani who is banned from UK+Istanbul based) attack Ras Lanuf, LNA recaptures.#Libya

Maybe easier for observers to understand #Libya conflict clusters in terms of Dawn vs. Dignity.

4) "Another surprising person to find living in Britain is...Ghariani...alleged that he is using an internet channel to preach support for Libya Dawn-an Islamist militia trying to take over his native country that bears striking comparison to #Isil" #Libya telegraph.co.uk/comment/110642…

5) NOC: "facilities had been handed back..control, and.. “commended (Haftar’s forces) for putting the national interest first.”

🔑Q: How was #Libya's revenues-made accessible by LNA-shared up to blockade of '20 and why is this crucial information omitted?thearabweekly.com/libyas-noc-han…

6) Why blockade?Might⬇️be reasons worth mentioning?
1 Gross CBL corruption+Kabir fired twice
2 GNA blackmailing of eastern institutions
3 Expiry of GNA in 2017
4 Misappropriation of public funds to militias, SNA mercs, terror orgs, AKP regime than in turn attack the army

7) Rather than cooperate with the army to remove the militias and make elections possible per their mutual mandate, #Libya's expired GNA chose to midwife foreign invasion in order to forcibly stay in power as foreign vassals. This perspective is missing. jpost.com/middle-east/li…

8) Kabir has been fired twice by the parliament. And yet forcibly remained as gov of CBL which funnelled public funds to #Tripoli+#Misrata's militia cartels+ to #Turkey-evading audits and in flagrant violation of law and while #Libya|ns themselves lack access to basic services.
