Armed militants overrun Libya’s main oil port

An armed faction overran one of Libya’s main oil terminals and a nearby airport on Friday, engaging forces loyal to military strongman Khalifa Haftar. The Libyan National Army , under Haftar’s control, took control of the terminals of Es Sider and Ras Lanuf – which have a potential combined capacity of around 600,000 barrels per day – in September 2016.
