The government controlling the eastern region of Libya has decided to shut down all oil and gas fields, ports, enterprises and organizations. In three days, the damage has exceeded 120 million dollars.

The situation in Libya has worsened in the last two months. Armed clashes took place near the capital Tripoli, and armed individuals who demanded the resignation of Siddique Al-Kabir, who has been in charge of the Central Bank for 12 years, attacked the Central Bank headquarters. Under the pressure of the international community, the parties agreed to ensure the security of important government offices in Tripoli. The country is currently divided between the UN-recognized government of Abdulhamid Dbeiba and military leader Khalifa Haftar, who controls the east.

The three main leaders of Libya, which has not been able to achieve peace since the unrest in 2011, met in the Egyptian capital at the invitation of the Arab League secretary general. In a joint statement, they agreed to establish a technical committee "to consider controversial issues" and form a joint new coalition government.
