The Libyan eastern government in Bayda decided to arrest any ministers or officials from the Government of National Accord (GNA) if they entered the eastern region.
The decision was taken by the Prime Minister of the government, Abdullah Al-Thinni, ordering the interior and security forces at the region’s borders to arrest any GNA official or any eastern residents who might be willing to give them a hand.
Al-Thinni said in a statement on Wednesday that the GNA is unconstitutional and is usurping the power in Libya from the eastern government.

Workers protest at Sharara oilfield halts Libya’s largest oil production source

A new workers’ protest in Libya has shut down the country’s largest oilfield, creating yet another hurdle for a war-torn country as it struggles to rebuild its oil output, OilPrice reported.
The demonstrators shuttered the 270,000-barrel per day Sharara oilfield on Wednesday, a source at the site told World Oil. The unrest began when one worker died at the field, another source added, according to OilPrice.
Libyan output had reached 827,000 bpd before Sharara halted production today. Libya and Nigeria are both exempt from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) deal to reduce production by 1.2 million barrels per day through March 2018, OilPrice indicated.
An NOC spokesman said the field will probably not declare a force majeure, as the current halt is temporary, it also explained.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on Wednesday made a surprise visit to Libya to announce a new tranche of aid to Libya, Deutsche Welle reported.
Germany will provide 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million) to Libyan authorities to improve conditions at migrants camps in the North African country, Gabriel said, according to DW.
The money is expected to complement relief funds provided by Germany aimed at easing Europe’s migration crisis.
“It is, therefore, our goal, together with the Libyans, to resist the instability that has arisen from the absence of established structures,” Gabriel said, DW reported.
“Concrete progress is urgently needed.” He added.

Syrian government warplanes struck Islamic State positions west of Raqqa city on the southern bank of the Euphrates river on Thursday, state media said.
“The air force destroyed positions and armored vehicles” in the western Raqqa countryside, about 70 km (44 miles) from the city, state-run news agency SANA said.
U.S.-backed militias have separately been pushing into the edges of Raqqa city in the first days of their attack to seize Islamic State’s base of operations in Syria.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, launched an assault this week to take the northern city. The SDF has been closing in for months with the help of air strikes and special forces from the U.S.-led coalition.
Islamic State militants have made enemies of all sides in the six-year Syrian conflict, losing territory to several separate military campaigns over the past year.
The Syrian army has made gains against Islamic State in the east of Aleppo province, bringing them to the provincial border with Raqqa which is largely under SDF control. The Russian-backed Syrian army and allied militias then crossed into Raqqa province this week from neighboring Aleppo.
The strikes on Thursday targeted areas near the provincial border, along a highway linking Raqqa to Aleppo and close to the Tabqa area the SDF captured from Islamic State in May.
The Syrian government described the Kurdish-led war against Islamic State as “legitimate” last month. Damascus also said its military priorities were Islamic State-held Deir al-Zor and the Badia region at the border with Jordan and Iraq, suggesting it does not intend to challenge the Raqqa campaign underway.

Egyptian policy towards Libya between availability and constraints
These days, there is a frantic talk about the Egyptian military intervention in the local Libyan affairs, especially the Egyptian air force striking locations in Derna.
Talk about two axes
First, the Egyptian intervention is a violation of Libyan sovereignty, which is not far from the truth.
The second talks about a joint defense agreement that allows Egypt to defend itself against a threat it poses, even if it is outside its borders.
Therefore, Libya’s sovereignty according to the reality of the situation is not a Libyan responsibility because it falls under the seventh item, but Libya is entirely under the sovereignty of the Security Council in accordance with its decision in particular .. Thus there is no meaning to a joint defense agreement and no meaning to the message of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, To coordinate with its legitimacy when determined to do such a work..
This was first .. The second and most important:
Historically, Libya in the eyes of Egypt as its view of the Sudan is nothing more than a back garden with different composition and uses of this park … Public and especially the eastern part of it is considered an important bank for Egyptian labor in the first place it reached the peak of the Libyan-Egyptian relations during the previous regime Number of employment (5) Millions of Egyptians work in Libya without restriction or condition.
Then who can deny that the Snoussi army during the Italian occupation was born in the arms of the Egyptian present in the first quarter of the last century and who can deny that the idea of ​​the Principality itself was the cradle of Egypt as well as the facilities enjoyed by the Libyan resistance against the Italian occupation militarily and politically.
All of us were also aware of the full involvement of the September Revolution of the late 1960s in the embrace of the Egyptian nationalist act led by Abdel Nasser and the impact of the July 23 Revolution on the unitary officers and their intellectual base from the beginning and the generous logistical support that they subsequently provided.
Egypt has a view and objectives is not new .. And still in mind the proposed Israeli swap project on the Egyptian side in the negotiations (Camp David) when the Zionist entity offered to help Egypt to occupy gently in exchange for giving up Sinai after the October war, Population and wealth.
We also recall how this project was honored by President Sadat and tried to feel the pulse of the situation in 1976. He moved a brigade towards the Libyan border and progressed until the area of ​​al-Bardi and parts of the Batnan area reached Tabruk, and only the position of President Hawari Abu Madin and the supported efforts of Yasser Arafat Internationally.
The idea is still reinforced by Libya’s recognition that the people of Western Egypt to the outskirts of Alexandria are of the Libyan origins abandoned during the days of rule (Qara Mali) and has always worked to deepen this feeling and demand, which was intended to strengthen ties of brotherhood and the proximity of the day of the Libyan-Egyptian unity.
However, neither the Egyptian-Israeli swap project could succeed nor the unity project on the basis of the population’s assets. The Egyptian side was underestimated (for reasons we all know), and also because the balance of power in the region and the suspicious ambitions do not allow this.
The conclusion is that Israel will not allow in the current situation of Egypt to expand westward. It knows what the gains and power that Egypt can achieve … and that it guarantees the Egyptian regime’s side today and its loyalty to the Egyptian-Israeli agreements, but Israel does not guarantee that the situation in Egypt will continue. Politically and militarily.
The bombing of sites inside Libyan territory is nothing more than a storm in a cup to cover up the events of Egyptian Upper Egypt and draw attention away from the scene of terrorism that worries the Egyptian state at home.
A new old game.. artery Libya Its beginning in Washington and the last in Israel
