Iran changes dollar for euro or yen in Oil Exports

Ghanimifard is the director of foreign relations of the Iranian National Oil Company. Iran finishes this way its process of reducing its exposition to the dollar, after the tensions between Teheran and Wasington because of the nuclear crisis. In fact, last december an Iranian Government speaker informed already that 90% of the revenues obtained by the oil exports weren't made in dollars. Ahmadenijad said this was because the... ... more

The Chadian Talibans
There has been nearly no news about something which is terrible for Africa and specially for Darfur: the conquest by Saudi and Sudan-backed Jihadis of nearly all Chad in less than a week. Some days ago I wrote about the possibility of Chad being converted into an Islamic state. I was not wrong though it seems that reality could even worse than I thought at first. Throughout nearly 25 years a terrible genocide has happened in Sudan. Both Christians and Animists were killed by Janjaweed, the demons from the North, who caused death and displacement all over the place, without... ... morePosted at 7:26 PM

Saeed Jalili Visits China
Broadcast 18 January on Iranian state satellite TV (IRINN) Saeed Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, is also chairman of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. He succeeds Ali Ardeshir Larijani, who resigned last October. Jalili is much more in the mold of President Mahmoud Ahmadinezhad as a religious hard-liner.

More about the Indonesian summit by HuT
Richard posted about it here some days ago.I have written a long post about the Indonesian summit, held by 100.000 Hibz ut-Tahrir supporters asking for the Caliphate and supporting the introduction of Sharia Law in Indonesia -with Turkey, one of the few stable democracies in the Muslim world-. There are several things that worry me really: the secret recruitment, the selection of the recruits between educated middle-class and their support of terrorism. Yes, I know that they say they are not violent, but they support terrorism both in Palestine and in Iraq, saying it's the Jihad. Of course, they reject... ... morePosted at 5:52 AM

Thanks to Maggie for sending this story in. I haven't heard much about it on cable media yet, but as the article notes, if found to be murder and given last years assasination of the former KGB agent - Alexander Litvinenko, this story could send shockwaves across the Middle East and among some of Britain's wealthiest people. An Egyptian billionaire businessman identified as the Mossad agent who tipped Israel off on the eve of the 1973 Yom Kippur War about the coming attack (saving the Golan Heights for Israel) was found dead yesterday outside his home in London in suspicious... ... morePosted at 9:31 AM
