„Wegen Unruhen. Wintershall muss Ölförderung in Libyen einstellen
Der größte deutsche Öl- und Gasförderer Wintershall kann wegen der neuen Unruhen in Libyen vorerst kein Erdöl mehr in dem nordafrikanischen Land fördern. Aufgrund der andauernden Blockade der Öl-Exportanlagen an der Küste habe Wintershall die Förderung dort bereits vor einigen Wochen einstellen müssen, sagte Unternehmenssprecher Stefan Leunig laut einem Bericht der „Welt am Sonntag“. Aktuell sei es unklar, wann die Blockade aufgehoben werde und wie schnell die Produktion in der libyschen Wüste wieder aufgenommen werden könne, sagte Leunig.

Blackouts in west as Amazigh gas blockade cuts power generation
By Callum Paton
Blackouts have hit Tripoli and western regions, thanks to Amazigh action against an oil and gas pipeline in the Nafousa mountains.
The fuel cut-off has meant that the key Ruwais power station has lost its gas turbine generators and is having to rely on its diesel sets to produce power.
A leading Amazigh figure warned that if the group’s political demands are not met, it will mark the beginning of “a new journey, a new odyssey far more difficult than the previous situation”.

Tebu protestors in Kufra and Rebyana threaten local power station
By Libya Herald staff
Angry Tebu tribesmen from Kufra and Rebyana have been protesting for the third successive day at what they say is their marginalisation and neglect, first under the Qaddafi regime and now in Free Libya. If government demands for improvements are not met with 48 hours, they are threatening to disrupt power production at al-Sareer.
Kufra is now a divided town since fighting earlier this year between the Tebu and the Zwia majority, left 150 Tebu dead and more than 400 injured. A reconciliation committee from the Jebel Nafusa restored an uneasy peace. However, concentrated in the neighbourhoods of Hay Al-Shuri and Ghaderfi, the Tebu now find themselves separated from most basic services, including hospitals and banks, which are now in Zwia areas of the town, 5,000 of whose 70,000 inhabitants are Tebu.
