Hydrocarbures : la Turquie va explorer les eaux libyennes

Un mémorandum signé entre Tripoli et Ankara prévoit de « développer des projets liés à l’exploration, la production et le transport de pétrole et de gaz ».

La Libye et la Turquie ont signé le 3 octobre un accord de prospection d’hydrocarbures dans les eaux libyennes, trois ans après avoir conclu un accord de délimitation maritime controversé qui avait suscité l’ire de l’Union européenne (UE). « Nous avons signé un mémorandum d’entente pour la prospection d’hydrocarbures dans les eaux territoriales de la Libye ainsi que sur le sol libyen par des compagnies turco-libyennes mixtes », a déclaré le chef de la diplomatie turque Mevlüt Çavusoglu, lors d’un point presse avec son homologue libyenne Najla al-Mangoush.

The ‘New Auschwitz’: Wollega, Oromia Region, Ethiopia – OpEd

Introduction:

A few years ago, I visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum, on the sites of Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp. Last week, I visited a Jewish cultural center/museum in Riga, Latvia, with similar content. The two camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau and the one in Riga, are now prominent memorial sites on the holocaust tragedies. The Auschwitz Museum relates the in-depth history of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. It stands today as a reminder of the horendous harvest resulting from hate and discrimination. The core message, as most aptly expressed by Ellen Germain, the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues, on the 75th Anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on 13th July 202, was: “We must safeguard your testimony, their testimony, so that truth will never die. The world must never forget. The world must never deny. The world must never downplay the Holocaust. We must remain ever on guard, and we must do far more to teach the lessons of the Holocaust and apply them in our own time. We must counter hate and lies with tolerance and truth. And we must stand up for human dignity and freedom wherever they are imperiled.” Indeed, that is what we learned during the visit!
