9 February 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
Presse release
Beside the coast of Western Sahara - which is illegally occupied by Morocco - fishing vessels from member states of the EU are taking part in the exploitation of the fishery resources. The Fishery Partnership Agreement between the EU and Morocco - which has to be renewed regularly - serves as a justification.

No, it’s not Hosni Mubarak, the man who, if not for his 20th century ethos, could have been the founding father of a new 21st century democratic and free Egypt. No, it’s not U.S. President Barack Obama who set the future for democracy in the Middle East in motion with his 2009 Cairo speech. (…) -

The CIA’s Role in Egypt’s Regime Change? Who Is Omar Suleiman?
by Jane Mayer Global Research, January 30, 2011
One of the “new” names being mentioned as a possible alternative to President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Omar Suleiman, is actually not so new to anyone who has followed the American policy of renditions for terror suspects.

As the Arab world fights, America sleeps
by Larry Chin Global Research, February 5, 2011
