BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Libya's government has reached a deal with a brigade controlling the Ras Lanuf and Es Sider oil ports, the major oil terminals that have been shut since December 2014, to restart exports there as part of a political agreement, officials said.

Officials from the presidential council and the oil guards brigade gave no details of the terms or a date for when exports from the two ports would restart. But any restart may be complicated because the state-run National Oil Corporation has rejected any deal involving a payoff to oil guards.
