Why Libya's Oil Fields Are Not Protected?

The Libyan government has declared, long time ago, that it has established a special force to protect Libyan oil installations, called the "Petroleum Facilities Guard", or the "Oil Installations Guard", and reportedly made of 15,000 guards. This issue was further debated after the tragedy at In Aminas Gas Complex - next door, to which the Libyan government responded by saying that security measures are implemented across Libya to ensure the safety of such important government installations as well as Libya's guests.

Yet despite this formidable force and the false assurances thrown at the media, there were 4 attacks on oil and gas installations in Libya in the past 3 weeks alone, plus the reported protests from Zueitina and from Jalu 59, and all the other attacks on oil installations forgotten from 2012 - more than enough for any concerned government to be alarmed, rather than sit back and condemn the attacks as "unacceptable" after they take place.

This is like the Special Security Force set up by the GNC to protect the GNC, only to see the GNC being repeatedly attacked; gradually reducing many Libyans to doubt the current leadership's capabilities to lead out of the quagmire, before tyranny reappears.
