A group of unemployed Libyan youths in the eastern town of Marada located near oilfields and a key pipeline has been staging protests to demand jobs at state oil firm NOC, oil and security officials said on Sunday. Oil production was running normally through the pipeline feeding the Es Sider terminal, which runs near Marada, an oil engineer said.
But officials said they were closely monitoring the protests as similar action by the unemployed had led to pipeline closures in other parts of the North African country, which has been in turmoil since the toppling of leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
