Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 4, Part 16 (The Scramble for Control of the Oil Fields)
Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 06:37 AM by Catherina
Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 4, Part 16 (The Scramble for Control of the Oil Fields)

Previous threads from today: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14, Part 15


Occasionally, since the people I follow cover Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan also, if I see something really important about those countries, I'll post it here but I plan to mostly focus on Libya because they're having the hardest time getting the word out and Qaddafi's brutality is more systematic and I believe the scale exceeds the brutality in the other country.

They're also the country with the most propagandists on Twitter.

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, Qaddafi has brought in thousands of mercenaries from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other North African coutries, specifically Chad. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=103697256377254&oid=179449562095105 (Youtube link here) Their confessions are that they've been offered between $12,000 - $30,000 each.

David Cameron swept up on the wind of change to Egypt
PM's trip will not only be key event of Middle East tour but also marks a rebalancing of his foreign policy


David Cameron is visiting Egypt at the start of a planned tour of the Middle East. Photograph: Stefan Wermuth/Reuters

...

Cameron, who is nothing if not fleet of foot, has responded to today's "wind of change" by hastily adding a visit to Egypt at the start of a long-planned trip to the Middle East. Sprinkling a touch of democracy, by visiting some of the heroes of Tahrir Square, should do the trick, Downing Street hopes.

...

When Cameron arrived in Downing Street he said that one of the main priorities of British foreign policy – after stabilising Afghanistan – was to promote trade. The new prime minister told a meeting of every British ambassador, summoned to a special conference in London on 6 July, that they should be "economic ambassadors for Britain".

This is what the prime minister told the Foreign Office Leadership Conference: "I want you to ask yourself every day: 'What am I doing to promote British business?' If you want to keep Britain's great ambassadorial residences then I want you to show me that every day you are using them relentlessly to open new trade links and to generate new business for Britain."

...

At least Cameron is not "sub-France" when it come to Egypt – he has beaten Nicolas Sarkozy to Cairo. Egypt is a sensitive subject for Sarkozy, who recently ordered his ministers to take holidays at home after François Fillon, the prime minister, took a new year break in Egypt paid for in part by Hosni Mubarak.
