Al-Wefaq government forces took control of the entire Libyan West, suggesting that oil production could begin within days, and notables from Sirte offered to hand over the city to the government, while Turkey considered the "Al-Wefaq" victories a step to achieve a civil state.

After the government took control of the city of Tarhuna, the stronghold, the last head of the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar, it entered the city of Bani Walid and took control of its airport.

The spokesman for the forces of the National Accord Government, Muhammad Qanunu, confirmed that these forces seized quantities of ammunition and military equipment and chased the remnants of Haftar's forces fleeing from Tarhuna while trying to hide in the city of Bani Walid.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Libya, quoting the mayor of Bani Walid Salem Anwer, reported that African mercenaries and Haftar forces fled the city's airport to the Al-Jufra region and its air base in central Libya.

Meanwhile, Al-Jazeera correspondent said that Emirati Haftar drones bombed Al-Wefaq government forces in Tarhuna.

A spokesman for the Sirte and Al-Jafra Operations and Insurance Operations Chamber, Colonel Abdul-Hadi Dara, reported that a warplane belonging to the retired Major General Khalifa Hifter targeted a site for the Al-Wefaq forces in the Abu Qurain hub east of Misrata, without any casualties.

He pointed out that the bombing aims to thwart the attempts of notables Sirte to spare their city to clash with the reconciliation forces.

A spokesman for the forces of the National Accord Government had announced earlier that notables from Sirte had offered to hand over the city to the forces of the government of reconciliation.

He added that the Libyan Air Force carried out five raids targeting military vehicles of Haftar forces south of Sirte, and Kanunu confirmed that it was monitored that groups of Haftar fighters and mercenaries had escaped from the field towards the south of the country.

For his part, President of the Presidential Council of the Al-Wefaq Government, Fayez al-Sarraj, renewed the determination to extend state control over all Libyan territory.

As for the Turkish special envoy to Libya, God Eshler, he said that the recent victories achieved by the internationally recognized Libyan government are a big step on the path to achieving a strong, democratic and civil Libya.

Ishler stated in a series of tweets on Twitter that the liberation of Tarhuna from the Haftar militia is a great step towards achieving Libya that will embrace all segments of the Libyan people.

He explained that "the principled and honorable policy pursued by Turkey in Libya has borne fruit, and the historical resistance that the Libyan people and their country have faced in the face of the coup has Haftar enabled it to eliminate the security risks that may face Tripoli."

On the other hand, Haftar's forces spokesman, Ahmed Al-Mesmari, said that his forces had yielded to the pressure of major countries on the necessity of a ceasefire and the resumption of the meetings of the "5 + 5" military committee to make the political, economic and security track succeed.

Al-Mismari added in a press conference that Haftar's forces retreated within 60 km, "so that the capital, Tripoli, would be safe from missiles and keep the specter of war away."

The entry of Al-Wefaq forces to Tarhuna comes one day after it declared full control of the capital, Tripoli.

"Safe country"

On the other hand, the Ministry of Interior of the Al-Wefaq government announced on Friday the launch of a process it called "the safe country" aimed at imposing security and protecting private and public property in the cities it retrieved from Haftar forces in the west of the country, including a mortgage.

The Martyrs' Square in the Libyan capital witnessed celebrations of the victories achieved by the Al-Wefaq government forces, after more than a year of armed confrontations with Haftar's forces.

Participants in the celebrations raised slogans calling for the establishment of a civil, democratic state ruled by the constitution, and an end to external interference in their country's crisis.

Oil production

In the context of recent developments, the Al-Jazeera correspondent in Libya quoted the commander of the oil facilities in the Ministry of Defense of the National Accord Government, Ali al-Deeb, confirming that the Hamada valve linking the Sharara oil field southwest of Libya and the Zawiya refinery west of the capital, Tripoli, had been opened.

Al-Deeb expected the reproduction from the Sharara and Elephant fields southwest of Libya within days, and the start of oil production from them.

Meanwhile, an unidentified armed group attacked the Sharara oil field in the city of Ubari in southern Libya at dawn today, Saturday.

A security source confirmed to Anadolu Agency that the group was not able to enter the field, noting that Haftar militias started since late Friday, deploying armed mechanisms around the field and the arrival of support for the force inside the field.

The loyalists of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter closed the production and export of oil in the oil crescent in eastern Libya and the Sharara and Elephant fields west of this past January.

The National Oil Corporation estimated Libya's losses due to the cessation of oil production and export at more than five billion dollars, and revenues decreased by 97%.
