Egypt in Crisis
Reconstruction Equipment Available
The New Libya & The International Hydrocarbon Industry
It is safe to say that the new Libya will not have a drastically different upstream oil and gas policy than the one pursued by the Al Qathafi regime. Most likely, under the new Libyan system of governance, oil and gas rights will continue to be granted through production sharing agreements.

Syria on the Brink: Uprising Victim to Regional, International Power Play - By Ramzy Baroud
Syrians continue to be victimized, not only in violent clashes with the Syrian military, but also by regional and international players with various agendas.

That Celebratory Gunfire
As the Libyan people emerge victorious from their eight-month ordeal, they look back with sadness at the death toll; the freedom Libyans thrive on today was achieved at a price. No Libyan will ever be the same.

Gaza Boats Seized, but ‘Freedom Waves’ Will Continue - By Ramzy Baroud
Another mission accomplished, or so it seems. Israeli navy ships have managed to thwart yet another civil society ‘provocation’ (as described by a spokesman for the Israel Embassy in Dublin, Irish Times, November 4).

Turkey and the New Middle East
Turkey’s Prime Minister, Recep Erdoğan, has been fostering his country’s ambitions to become a leading political power in the Arab Muslim world. A visible and vocal tour of successful Arab spring revolutionary countries and crisis-stricken African neighbours has led Arab and Western scholars, as well as policy-makers, to champion the idea of Turkey as a model for aspiring young Arab democracies.

Post-Al Qathafi Libya and Natural Resource Governance
The stability of Libya’s post-Al Qathafi political environment now depends on a myriad of factors – not least of which is the governance and distribution of this North African country’s sizeable natural resource wealth.

Syria, the Arab Yugoslavia of Middle East
The Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad stands as the Yugoslavia of the Middle East, that has to join the expansion southward of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as well as the “new world order” engineered by the US unipolar power.

The Plight of Libyan Diplomats
The job diplomat to many would present a stereotype of someone driving around in a big chauffeur driven car, attending parties and receptions in some exotic location and earning a large salary. Never was this further from the truth as far as Libyan career diplomats are concerned.

Wednesday Big Day for for EU Top Brass
The EU’s 13th crisis management summit in two years, held in Brussels at the weekend, was the non-event we have come to expect from the leaders of a world economy mired in inescapable debt. Wednesday October 26 is now the big day. So what is the situation they now face and how did it come about?

Iraq War Declared Over, but War Party Persists - by Ramzy Baroud
In a White House Statement on October 21, US President Barack Obama pledged that his country would finally withdraw forces from Iraq. “After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over,” he said.

The People of the revolution
I have had the urge to write about this revolution from the very first day it started. It started with the odds stacked high against it and survived in spite of all the hardships it faced, because of God's guidance and because of the determination of the millions of Libyans who decided that they could no longer be oppressed and abused.

The Real ‘Theatre of the Absurd’: Netanyahu and His Endgame in Palestine - By Ramzy Baroud
During his deliberately offensive speech on September 23, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the General Assembly as “the theatre of the absurd.” Israel’s few friends at the United Nations - led by the US delegation - listened gleefully and applauded as Netanyahu heralded a steady stream of insults.

Afghanistan: Ten Years of Tragedy and Misguided Policy - By Ramzy Baroud
On July 1, 2002, US planes bombed an Afghan wedding in the small village of Deh Rawud. Located to the north of Kandahar, the village seemed fortified by the region’s many mountains. For a few hours, its people thought they were safe from a war they had never invited. They celebrated, and as customs go, fired intermittently into the air.

US Intervention And Syrian Uprising - by Ramzy Baroud
US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford is quite a feisty diplomat. He shows up unannounced and uninvited at various hot spots in the country, greeted with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and, oftentimes, anger.
