The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) announced on Friday that it is opening registration for young men and women, ages 18 to 35, living in cities across eastern Libya to take part in an in-person discussion on the country's political process. The 90-minute session will focus on options and recommendations put forward by the mission's advisory committee, as well as understanding young people's concerns and their own proposals, the mission said. Interested participants are asked to complete an online form posted on the mission's website by noon on next Monday. Two additional sessions, to be held via Zoom, are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, under the 'Youth Participate' program. UNSMIL noted that registering does not guarantee a seat at the event.

Libya ranks second on list of African Oil Exporting Countries
A report issued by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has revealed that Nigeria topped the list of African oil-producing countries in June, followed by Libya and then Algeria. According to the report, global oil prices rose during June 2025, which was reflected in production levels in a number of African countries that rely on this commodity as a major source of national income. According to OPEC data, Nigeria's daily production reached approximately 1.547 million barrels in June, an increase of 19,000 barrels over the previous month. Libya came in second place with production of 1.280 million barrels per day, despite a decrease of 24,000 barrels. Algeria maintained third place with daily production of 927,000 barrels.

Repsol: Stability in Libya enabled increased output, and reactivation of 12 wells in 2025
The CEO of Spanish oil company Repsol, José Ángel Fernández, said that the improvement in Libya's security and social conditions has allowed the company to resume operations and boost production in several fields. Speaking to Investing website, Fernández said: 'I believe Libya is improving socially, politically, and in terms of security. Its situation is progressing year by year,' noting that production from the company's projects reached 307,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of this year. He pointed out that Repsol's net share of this production amounted to 43,000 barrels per day, attributing this to increased output in 2024 thanks to new wells. He explained that drilling activity in 2025 led to the reactivation of 12 new wells in the first and second quarters, adding: 'We'll see more new wells in the coming months. Overall production will increase by 12,000 barrels per day, with Repsol's share being 1,500 to 2,000 barrels.' He emphasized that the company is developing more projects in Libya, noting that a second drilling rig has been contracted to fulfill remaining exploration commitments, including possible early development in the Waha area. He added that Repsol's average global production reached 557,000 barrels per day, a 3% increase from the first quarter, thanks to stronger contributions from the UK, Trinidad and Tobago, Eagle Ford, and Libya — which offset the effects of divestments and natural declines.
