Comrades to competitors: France and Italy vie for Libyan OIL

Comrades to competitors: France and Italy vie for a slice of Libyan...

The race for Libya's vast oil wealth is gathering momentum. States who worked together during the NATO airstrikes are now working against each other in the battle to secure lucrative energy contracts.

Meanwhile, fears are rising that a new regime in Libya could easily slide into corruption.

Half a billion dollars from Italy, and now a whopping $1.5 billion from the UN in unfrozen Libyan assets – on top of $300 million dollars from Turkey.

Tribal Divisions, Rebels Increase Chances of Chaos in Libya

As is widely recognized at this point, the ragtag rebel groups the US and NATO placed their bets on to be the next rulers of Libya are facing enormous challenges after ousting Muammar Gadhafi. Considering their organization and capabilities, they may be out of their league.

The Rape of Libya NATO Special Forces on the Ground

Libya: Tripoli Stands in Defiance of NATO

Despite sweeping headlines claiming the Benghazi rebel terrorists have shifted their leadership over to Tripoli after continuous claims of the city falling to rebels after over a week of continuous fighting, BBC has slipped out the fact that this claim is a verified lie. Buried within an article titled, “Horror scenes at Tripoli hospital,” BBC conceded that the rebels have constructed a makeshift landing strip in the western Nafusa mountains where they are “reported to be staying,” only visiting Tripoli in daytime for quick photo opportunities.
