Libya: LNA forces take control of El Sharara oilfield as of February 11

Event

Libyan National Army (LNA) forces have reportedly taken full control of El Sharara oilfield (Wadi Al-Hayaa district), according to reports on Monday, February 11. Local sources have also reported that the LNA has taken control of Obari in recent days. Similar LNA advances on key infrastructure controlled by the Government of National Accord (GNA) and others are possible over the near term.

Advice

The security environment in Libya remains complex. Although travel is possible in some areas (with appropriate security protocols in place), other areas should be considered strictly off limits. Professional security advice and support should be sought prior to travel.
