The Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamod Dbiebah, has issued a decision to sack the board of directors and chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), Mustafa Sanallah, and appoint Farhat Bengdara as new chairman. Sanallah has been NOC's Head since August 2014, while Bengdara served as Central Bank of Libya's Governor from 2006 to 2011. Dbeibah agreed with Oun on June 23 about replacing Sanallah. The meeting, according to sources with knowledge of the conversation, was sponsored by the UAE and led nowhere as to understandings between the two. However, appointing Bengdara as NOC chairman by Dbeibah says otherwise.
