DESCRIPTION::

On August 26, 2024, Brigade 444, under the Libyan Army Chief of Staff, announced that it successfully intercepted the smuggling of 40,000 liters of fuel in the Libyan desert. The brigade reported that its members pursued the smugglers along desert routes and managed to seize a truck loaded with the fuel, which was prepared for illegal transport. Fuel smuggling is a significant issue in Libya, as the country imports most of its fuel and sells it locally with heavy subsidies, leading to considerable losses in state resources.
