Libya’s Tripoli parliament says troops pull back from major oil ports
The move raised hopes of a reopening of the ports of Es Sider and Ras Lanuf
A rival Libyan parliament based in the capital Tripoli has ordered the withdrawal of troops loyal to it from frontlines near Libya's biggest oil ports, a senior lawmaker said on Saturday.
The move raised hopes of a reopening of the ports of Es Sider and Ras Lanuf, which closed in December when fighting broke out between forces loyal respectively to Libya’s competing governments and parliaments.
