Libya east administration says it lifts oil production blockade

Libya's eastern administration said on Thursday it has lifted the oil production and export blockade it ordered over a central bank rift. According to reporting by AFP, the Benghazi-based administration announced, in a Facebook post, "lifting the force majeure on all oil fields and resuming production and exports", days after the country appointed a new central bank governor under a UN-backed deal between Libya's two rival administrations.
