Controller of Hariga Oil Port in Tobruk, Rajab Sahnoon, said protesters gathered outside the port and fired shots because they were prevented from entering the port in protest against the export of crude oil.
“Yesterday, we received a tanker to ship one million barrels of crude, which will leave for Britain this afternoon. The tanker was not exposed to fire,” Sahnoon announced on Thursday.
It is noteworthy that the British ship Ridgebury has left Hariga port, with one million barrels of crude oil on board, according to our reporter in Tobruk.
The Controller added that the Hariga Port never stopped exporting, where several negotiations took place with us to prevent export, but they continued to work.
He said there is a committee from Benghazi to study and raise the demands of the protesters.
