Libya Oil Chief Plans Revival
Keywords:
Libya's Oil and Finance Minister bridges the gap between the tribal factions, regional loyalties, and other divisions within the Transitional Council of Libya and within Libya. He brings a unique background of being expelled in the early 1970's because of his prodemocracy activism at Libyan universities. He studied at Michigan State University for a doctorate and taught at the University of Washington for 26 years. All the time he helped organize the Libyan opposition. His background makes it possible for him to talk to western officials with ease, and his activist attitude and manner has put him quickly at the centre of things in Misrata and Tripoli. He went by fishing boat to Misrata at the height of the siege and was the first of the Transitional Council members to be in Tripoli. He was recently appointed deputy chairman of the Executive Council and chairman of the Supreme Military Council for Tripoli because of earning the confidence of the Council leaders and the ability to be at the centre of the struggles in Libya. He is a direct and plain spoken person and talked to the Journal's Charles Levinson about oil fields and restoring oil supplies. He talks about plans to keep Tripoli as the capital and keep the Transitional National Council in Benghazi so that both regions of the country could play a role.
Libyan Oil and Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni
06/11/2011
Tarhouni was an exiled activist for three decades and has been overseas mostly in the U.S. He studied at Michigan State University and taught at the University of Washington. He was the first member of the Transitional Council based in Benghazi to go into Misrata at the height of the siege by fishing boat. He was the first member to go into Tripoli and setup offices there. He says damage to oil installations is only about 20% and wants to see oil production back up as soon as possible.

06/11/2011
The fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya in August 2011 and restoration of democratic government will lead to a renewal of oil exports. Libya exported 1.5- 1.8 million barrels a day before the war against Gaddafi. The restoration of full production depends on the rebuilding of damaged refineries. This could take upto three years say experts. A psychological boost is not the same as the physical aspect of oil supplies on the ground says one analyst.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
