On Sunday, the Fezzan Rage Movement threatened to close all southern oil fields, if the country’s executive authority did not respond to its political and economic demands and improve the region’s living standards.

Member of the Movement, Bashir Al-Sheikh, told Al-Arabiya that the work on the new Ron oil field, which is still under construction, will be suspended.

Al-Sheikh threatened the closure of the mega oil fields of Al-Sharara, and El-Feel if the authority continues to ignore and marginalize the demands and rights of the southern region.
