[TRIPOLI] Libya's government expects eastern tribes to reopen three oil ports this weekend as pledged but refuses to deal with an autonomy movement demanding a share of oil exports, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, tribal leaders blocking three eastern ports that had shipped around 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil said they would end the stoppage on Sunday but some also demanded the government share oil exports.
Such seizures have slashed Libya's oil exports to 110,000 bpd, from more than one million bpd in July, and added to chaos in the North African country two years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
