Libya’s fractured political and military balance shifted again on September 11, as the self-styled Libyan National Army of General Khalifa Haftar seized control of the Oil Crescent from a local militia that had blockaded the area. Days later, the National Oil Corporation (NOC) said that exports from the ports would resume immediately. On September 21, a tanker left the port of Ras Lanuf for the first time in two years.
