In what is largely seen as a win for the Libyan National Army’s (LNA) General Khalifa Haftar, the United States Treasury Department (https://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2018/09/285870.htm), in conjunction with the United Nations, slapped sanctions on Libyan militia strongman Ibrahim Jadhran over the June attacks on the country’s vital oil ports, according to a Wednesday afternoon press release.
“Today’s action shows that the United States and the international community will take concrete and forceful action in response to those who undermine Libya’s peace, security, or stability,” the press release read in part.
The sanctions were proposed by Libya’s Permanent Mission to the UN.
Ibrahim Jadhran, former leader of Tripoli-backed Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG), now finds himself on the wrong end of both the United Nations and the United States. Today’s sanctions block all of Jadhran’s assets that are under the jurisdiction of the United States, and prohibit any US citizen from engaging in any transactions with him. In addition to the financial aspects, Jadhran will be subject to an asset freeze and travel ban from all UN members.
