PARIS (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday he condemned the role of Russian mercenaries in Libya, days after it was revealed they had, along with others, entered the Sharara oilfield last week.
Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said on Friday the mercenaries had entered Sharara in a convoy of vehicles and met with representatives of the Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG), a force established to maintain security at the oil fields.
