Annex 47 The Zawiyah Smuggling Network

1. A network of armed groups, present in Zawiyah, Sabratha, Warshefana, Zintan, Surman, al-Ojeilate and Zuwarah, benefits from fuel smuggling. They also benefited from protection provided by local and national political sponsors.

2. Between 2011 and 2014, local groups have disputed control over Zawiyah refinery. On 5 July 2014, a few days before launching of Operation Libya Dawn, the Petroleum Facilities Commander, the late Colonel Ali al-Ahrash, officially put al-Nasr Brigade, under the command of Mohammad Kachlaf, in charge of providing security to Zawiyah refinery. The control over the refinery by al Nasr was agreed with Shaaban Hadiya (a.k.a Abu Obeyda al Zawi) commander of the Libya Revolutionaries Operation Room (LROR).

3. Ahmad al-Dabbashi’s armed group in Sabratha also benefited from smuggling of petroleum products by taxing truck tankers (see S/2017/466, para. 240). Other groups also profited from the smuggling. The most important are: Jamal al-Ghaeb Brigade based al-Matrad in western Zawiyah; Ali Kardamine’s group in southern Zawiya; the Central Security Apparatus influential in Sabratha and Surman; al-Sobertawate Brigade in Warshefana and the Zintani al-Qorj brigade. Over the last couple of months, trucks were usually taxed between 4500 and 6000 LYD at checkpoints. Numerous attacks against fuel trucks increased insecurity in the region and deprived local populations from access to fuel.
