NOC said in a statement following the agreement that "all parties expressed a desire to swiftly resolve the crisis (at Sharara oilfield) and restart production as soon as possible." "The NOC chairman reiterated his desire to resume production, and that force majeure will be lifted when all members of the ‘Civilian’ armed militia are removed from the field." Libyan Decisions Made in UAEThe meetings that took place in the UAE have been bitterly and even sarcastically criticized by Libyan ordinary people and politicians alike. "Sanallah and Al-Sirraj's meeting was held in the UAE only to lift force majeure on Sharara oilfield." Other politicians found it skeptical that Al-Sirraj would be able to permit the reopening of Sharara oilfield as he has no control neither on the field nor on the southern region, where Haftar has been wagin a war since January.
