"God willing the government will be able to carry out its duties in Tripoli in the coming days." Bashagha tried to enter Tripoli three weeks with a large armed convoy ago but turned back as forces aligned with Dbeibah blocked the roads into the capital. Bashagha has repeatedly said he will not use force to enter the capital and told Reuters "our arrival in Tripoli and the government headquarters will be completely peaceful". Dbeibah's oil minister has challenged the role of National Oil Corp chairman Mustafa Sanalla. Bashagha said any moves to restructure the board "will cause a big problem for oil production and workers in the oil sector".
