Libya’s Hariga oil port reopens, talks continue with protesters | GulfNews.com:



"Libya’s eastern Hariga oil port has reopened and received a first tanker loading oil, a spokesman for state-owned National Oil Corp (NOC) said on Sunday after the government paid salaries of protesting state security guards at the terminal.



A second tanker was readying to dock but talks were continuing with protesters complaining that the Tripoli government had not met their full demands, a separate spokesman for the port operator said.



Hariga had been closed for a month by members of the state Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG) who claimed they had not been paid for months, one of many disruptions in Libya, where militias, state security guards and tribesmen seize oil facilities at will to press Tripoli into their demands."
