Libya Orders Oilfields to Resume Amid Political Turmoil

UN efforts to mediate between rival governments come as oil production faces significant disruption.

Three key oilfields in Libya have been instructed to gradually resume operations.
The Sarir field has started pumping, with Messla and Nafoura fields following suit.
Libya's daily oil output dropped by over half due to a standoff between eastern and western authorities.
The conflict centers on control of the central bank, affecting the livelihoods of millions.
The UN is working to negotiate an end to the crisis, which has major implications for global oil supply.
