The FINANCIAL - Madneuli Spending 1.2 Million GEL on CSR in 2011

C’est une mine de cuivre, or et argent que nous avions inspectée lorsque nous étions au PNUE (il y a une mention dans le film documentaire « voyage au centre de la carte »). L’article raconte ici qu’ils dépensent une fortune en CSR. Nous somme bien placé pour savoir que c’est complètement bullshit.

A Letter from Usama Mohammad : In Protest
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/syria-censorship-opposition-directors-under-axe

Absence from work is such a ridiculous excuse, similar to the accusation that the people of Daraa are an armed gang. In both cases, there is an authority which is given orders by the security forces to break the law, temporarily allowing it to be above the law, just as the security forces exposed the lie of peaceful demonstrations being allowed.

This is the brainchild of savage laws created by the regime in the past, like the “economic security law.” You read it and you discover that it is outright terrorism. Each citizen is accused, found guilty and given a suspended sentence. You have to chose between being an informant and a criminal.

MOSCOW — Russia’s chief arms exporter said Friday that his company was shipping advanced defensive missile systems to Syria that could be used to shoot down airplanes or sink ships if the United States or other nations try to intervene to halt the country’s spiral of violence.

“I would like to say these mechanisms are really a good means of defense, a reliable defense against attacks from the air or sea,” Anatoly P. Isaykin, the general director of the company, Rosoboronexport, said Friday in an interview. “This is not a threat, but whoever is planning an attack should think about this.”

Trouble in Tripoli : Syrian Crisis Shifts The Stage (Al Akhbar English)

The events in Tripoli, North Lebanon over the weekend in which seven people were killed and over a dozen injured have exposed the city’s many fault lines. The operation began at 1pm. The mission was completed in three hours: Tripoli fell to the so-called Salafis. Conservative Islamists make up only 20 percent of the residents of Lebanon’s second largest city. But, in a moment of official neglect, the Salafis took control of Tripoli. (...) Source: Al Akhbar English

Therefore, according to sources from Tripoli, there are only two reasons behind what is happening in the city. The first sees that the Islamist attack on the army is “a form of jihad.”

The second considers that opponents of the Syrian regime based in Lebanon wanted to send a clear message to everyone involved following the Lutfallah 2 incident, in which Lebanese security forces intercepted a shipment of weapons to the Syrian opposition.

The situation escalated on Sunday as a call to fight “the infidels and apostates” circulated. Loudspeakers on cars called on Sunni soldiers to take off their “Crusader army” uniforms. In the meantime, some Future Movement officials admitted their inability to influence the events in the city.

A Future Movement activist said that “the smallest Salafi sheikh” is linked to a “generous brother” in Kuwait, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia. He can have much more money in his pockets than Hariri has in his safe.

The company replied, showing that MP Assem Kanso owes the enormous amount of 671,464,790 Lebanese lira (LL) (US$450,000) on fees and bills belonging to several real estate properties in al-Qaa in the Bekaa.

Deux ans après une énième polémique, quelques noms pris de manière équilibrée dans les deux camps opposés, sont livrés à la vindicte populaire. Mais dommage de ne pas livrer au public des informations plus globales, montrant par exemple les sommes dues par les députés et ministres par rapport au « menu fretin »... Bref, un journalisme ici complice d’une opération médiatique, voire populiste.
