On 6 October, the Supreme Council of Zintani Revolutionaries threatened to shut down the Riyayna pipeline valve (which would prevent oil from flowing from Sharara and al-Feel to Zawiyya and Mellitah ports) until a new unified government is formed to replace the Government of National Unity (GNU).This threat was renewed on 7 October during an emergency meeting of Zintani armed groups following the detention of Zintani military figure al-Ajami al-Atiri by the Internal Security Agency (ISA) led by Lufti alHariri.
