An armed group on Thursday seized four new power pneumatic transformers were on board a truck heading from Garabulli to Gharyan city.
Libya’s General Electricity Company (GECOL) announced in a statement that the seizure took place during the passage of the truck in the city of Zawya, specifically under the bridge leading to Bir al-Ghanam town, western Libya.
Later, the authorities announced that Zawya Security bodies succeeded in finding the transformers again and preparing them to be transferred to Gharyan city.
Last week, Libyan youth closed the road between Ras Agadir and Abu Kammash, areas located in the southern region, protesting a 20-hour power cut.
One of the residents in the southern region said they have suffered from power cuts, which sometimes exceed 20 hours, because it affected their quality of life and spoiled their food.
Earlier, the Fezzan Anger Movement threatened to close el-Sharara and Feel oilfields in the southern region to pressure the government into meeting the area’s basic needs.
The movement demanded the government to provide cash, fuel, and job opportunities for the youth, and to establish development projects and resolve the crisis of electricity.
In the recent period, activists have called for the return of the activities of Fezzan Anger Movement due to the bad living conditions in the region and the rolling power cut.
