The Chairman of the Libyan National Oil Corporation Mustafa Sanallah accused Wednesday "foreign countries" of launching disinformation campaigns against the NOC and himself due the success of the oil firm and the soaring production rates and revenues. “Successful attempts to sell crude oil would undoubtedly be used to further fuel the war - potentially dividing the country forever. I am fearful for our collective future if the integrity of the oil sector is not maintained.” Sanallah explained, adding that the Libyan conflict is directly impacting the oil sector and the country. He further added that NOC’s commitment to transparency of national oil revenues and their distribution are very important, saying a key element of the conflict is the perception of fairness and equitable distribution of funds across the country. Meanwhile, the NOC has accused the member of the Tobruk-based House of Representatives (HoR) Ali Al-Tikbali of incitement and spreading rumors against it.
