"This, in my view, is the end of any legitimacy this regime has" Nobel laureate Mohamed el-Baradei Law & Politics |
Nobel laureate Mohamed el-Baradei, a leading opposition figure and
former presidential contender, accused the President's supporters of a
"vicious and deliberate" attack against peaceful demonstrators.
"This, in my view, is the end of any legitimacy this regime has," he
said. "A regime that is not able to protect its people and is siding
with his own thugs is a regime that lost its legitimacy and is leading
Egypt into violence."
Conclusions
Clearly, having been the Broker in Gaza, Having decapitated SCAF with
despatch, having hijacked the First Revolution at the Closing Bell,
having President @BarackObama at his Back, has scrambled Morsi's
Political antennae. This mis Step of thinking Mubarak Version 2 would
be acceptable is simply mind boggling and speaks to a 'Bulldozer'
Personality whose Free Pass has already expired.

The value of the Syrian pound has dropped by more than 15 per cent on
the black market since the start of November FT
http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/d3367d68-3ef7-11e2-a095-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2EFzW26lz
At the start of the uprising in March last year, the pound was selling
for about 47 per dollar through both official channels and the black
market. It has been sliding ever since, particularly on the black
market, as demand for foreign currency has surged while foreign
currency earnings from oil exports and tourism have all but
vanished.Until now, central bank interventions have mostly managed to
keep the pound’s depreciation at a manageable rate, with its black
market dollar value staying below 75 for most of the year.However, in
November it slipped into the 80s, and attempts by the authorities to
curb the black market by bringing official rates closer to it and
increasing the penalty for illegal trading did not prevent the pound’s
black market value from plunging to 90 this week, according to
Damascenes.
“The economic situation is disastrous,” said one Damascus-based
economist. “They inject some money, but after a while it is absorbed
by the market – and we are back in the same situation.”
It is not clear how many more foreign reserves the central bank has
left to fight these pressures. Adib Mayaleh, Syria’s central bank
governor, told the FT in September that Syria had spent less than 10
per cent of its foreign exchange reserves since the start of the
crisis – although many independent analysts say well over half are
likely to have been spent, unless money has come from outside sources.
The central bank on Wednesday declined to respond to questions about
its foreign exchange holdings – which officially stood at $15.1bn in
August – the Syrian currency or the state of the wider economy.
Analysts say the government may eventually be forced to give up
defending the currency in order to protect its reserves.
“I think there are several indications that government has been under
strong pressure in the last few weeks,” said Jihad Yazigi, editor of
the Syria Report business newsletter. “At one point it’s going to
decide – do we fight the battle to the last man?”
Inflation, caused in part by disruption to production, manufacturing
and supply as the civil war escalates, is adding to exchange rate
pressures. In August the government said inflation was running at
about 40 per cent, now it is thought to be at about 50 per cent.
The regime meanwhile has a budget crisis on its hands, with revenues
forecast to decrease drastically, leaving a deficit of 745bn pounds
(about $10bn), according to government figures. A recent report that
banknotes have been flown in from Russia has fuelled speculation that
the authorities are printing money to plug the gap, potentially
increasing inflationary pressure.
According to the non-profit journalism site Pro Publica, 240 tonnes of
banknotes were flown in to Syria this summer from Russia, which
reportedly agreed to print Syrian money after previous printing
arrangements were affected by sanctions.
Though the ProPublica investigation did not find out the currency or
denomination of the money, David Butter, an economic analyst at the
Royal Institute for International Affairs, said that if it was in
Syrian pounds, the cargo would seem to represent “probably more than
would be required for a normal replacement of banknotes”.
For now, the regime is continuing to pay salaries. But economists say
the cumulative economic pressures of nearly two years of instability
may soon become as difficult to contain as the armed insurgency
itself.
“There’s symptoms that it is getting a lot tougher,” said Mr Butter.
“We’re not at the point of economic pressures tipping things away from
the regime, but we might not be too far from it.”

For Niemeyer, the curved line becomes the protagonist. Thus sentencing
the great architect, “is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the

The precise sourcing of cocoa beans from previously unimagined corners

as they calibrate the cocoa content of their candy bars and crave
fresh flavor combinations. Now, for a small group of aficionados with
a bit of time and a lot of spare change, that novelty has come home to
roost. Some of Europe's premier chocolate labels are offering a
bespoke service that allows customers to adjust the look and tweak the
taste of their truffles and pralines. With firms like Switzerland's
Confiserie Sprüngli and Belgium's Mary, chocolatier to the Belgian

Brazil Real 3 Month Chart INO 2.0865 Last Emerging Markets |
The currency advanced 1.5 percent to 2.0879 per U.S. dollar at the
close in Sao Paulo, the biggest advance since June 29. The real
climbed the most among 25 emerging-market currencies. The real
extended its gain after a central bank official said in an interview
that policy makers considered the currency’s drop excessive. Brazil
reduced today the maturity of foreign loans subject to a 6 percent tax
to one year from two years after announcing yesterday it would exempt
exporters from the same level of tax on some borrowing.
Policy makers maintain that the real has weakened to a level that
doesn’t correspond to the country’s economic fundamentals, said the
central bank official, who asked not to be identified because he is
not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Traders wrongly bet
that the government is working to keep the exchange rate within a
determined range, the official said in an interview.Policy makers
intervened in the currency market on Dec. 3 to stem the real’s decline
after it closed last week at a three- year low.
Conclusions
Quite an About Turn. Probably worried it might have turned disorderly.

Rwanda May Delay Eurobond Sale, Cut Growth Forecast on Aid Cuts Bloomberg Africa |
Rwanda may reduce its growth forecast for 2013 to as low as 6 percent
and delay a global debt offering because of aid cuts over the
country’s alleged backing of a rebellion in Congo, central bank
Governor Claver Gatete said.
The extent of the slowdown will depend on how deeply the government
needs to cut capital spending, he said today in an interview in
Kigali, the capital. In June, Finance Minister John Rwangombwa
forecast the economy would grow 7.7 percent this year compared with
8.6 percent in 2011.
“We had projected 7.5 percent next year and the impact now could be
between 1 and 1.5 percentage points,” he said. “That depends on how
the government is going to re-prioritize what to cut -- if it’s an
electricity or water project, a road project - - and how that will
affect the economy.”
Donors including the U.K., the Netherlands and Germany suspended aid
to Rwanda after a United Nations group of experts accused the country
of supporting rebels fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of
Congo. Rwandan President Paul Kagame denies the allegations.
The cuts equal about 12 percent of planned expenditure through June
2013, Gatete said. Lawmakers are scheduled to vote on any proposed
budget adjustments in January, he said.
The government will also hold back on plans for its first global debt
offering as early as this month because the “political” situation has
rattled market confidence, which may drive up borrowing costs, Gatete
said. Rwangombwa said in May the country planned to raise $300 million
in U.S.-dollar dominated bonds in 2013.
Rwanda’s ratings outlook was lowered to stable from positive at
Standard & Poor’s in October, which cited the aid freeze as a reason.
S&P and Fitch Ratings have both assigned Rwanda a B long-term
sovereign credit rating, five steps below investment grade and on par
with the African nations of Uganda, Mozambique and Seychelles.
Rwanda is trying to wean the economy off outside budgetary aid, which
accounts for about 40 percent of planned expenditure for 2012-13,
partly because the country doesn’t want to be beholden to the agendas
of foreign governments, Gatete said.
The government is operating a development fund, known as Agaciro,
which means dignity in the local Kinyarwanda language, with voluntary
contributions from citizens and other benefactors, raising 25 billion
francs ($40 million) since it started in August, said Gatete. The
proceeds will help develop infrastructure and advance education and
health programs.
“For Rwanda, now we understand whether you are genuine in terms of
giving your money or not,” Gatete said. “What we can see now is that
it’s money tied to politics.”
Conclusions
If Anyone has the wherewithal and the Organisation to deal with these
circumstances its the Government of Rwanda.

The Man Who Made Billions Off Congo in His 20s Bloomberg TV

One Israeli investor has become very rich indeed from Congo's mining
reserves. Dan Gertler is a billionaire who loves business but likes to
keep a very low profile.
Gertler whose grandfather co-founded Israel’s diamond exchange in 1947
arrived in Congo in 1997

“Look at it, look at it,” the Israeli billionaire, 38, shouts through
the headset above the thrum of rotors. “This is what life is all
about”
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-12-05/gertler-earns-billions-as-mine-deals-leave-congo-poorest.html
“Look at it, look at it,” the Israeli billionaire, 38, shouts through
the headset above the thrum of rotors. “This is what life is all
about,” Gertler says as the chopper lands in the scorching, dry
afternoon heat of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Everyone comes with dreams and illusions and promises. Everyone wants
quick deals. They don’t want to invest. We are real.”
His Gibraltar- registered Fleurette Properties Ltd. owns stakes in
various Congolese mines through at least 60 holding companies in
offshore tax havens such as the British Virgin Islands.
Gertler, whose grandfather co-founded Israel’s diamond exchange in
1947, arrived in Congo in 1997 seeking rough diamonds. The 23-year-old
trader struck a deep friendship with Joseph Kabila, who then headed
the Congolese army and today is the nation’s president. Since those
early days, Gertler has invested in iron ore, gold, cobalt and copper
as well as agriculture, oil and banking. In the process, he’s built up
a net worth of at least $2.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index.
“He has political connections, so state companies sell him mines for
low prices and he sells them on for huge profits. That’s how he’s
become a billionaire.”
In the eight months preceding November 2011 elections, in which Kabila
won a second five-year term, companies affiliated with Gertler bought
shares in five mining ventures from three state-owned firms, according
to minutes of board meetings, company filings and documents published
later. The state companies didn’t announce the sales.
In at least three of the cases, prices paid were below valuations of
the projects made by analysts at Deutsche Bank AG, London-based Numis
Securities Ltd. and Oriel Securities Ltd. and Atlanta-based consulting
firm Golder Associates Inc.
Gertler denies that he purchased companies at below-market rates or
that any of his deals have involved kickbacks.
“The lies are screaming to the heavens,” he says in his native Hebrew
in a June interview, during three days Bloomberg reporters spent with
him in Congo and Israel.
Gertler says disclosing the deals to the public is the Congolese
government’s responsibility, not his. “We’re a private company. Why
should we announce?” he says.
“I should get a Nobel Prize,” adds Gertler, who paces around and waves
his arms as his demeanor swings between anger and boyish charm during
interviews.
And Kabila, 41, defends Gertler as a man who staked his fortune on
Congo at a time when the country was wracked by war and in desperate
need of cash.
“The truth is, during our very difficult times, there were investors
who came and left and others who braved the hurricane,” he said of
Gertler in a brief interview at his riverside palace in December 2011.
“He’s one of those.”
The bond between the two men is so strong that Kabila at times uses
Gertler as a special diplomatic envoy, including in 2002, when the
Israeli businessman met with then-U.S. National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice in Washington to ask for help ending Congo’s war with
its neighbors.

Mozambican opposition group Renamo said a police unit yesterday
attacked its stronghold in the central Sofala Province in some of the
worst armed violence since a 15-year civil war ended in 1992.Some
people were killed and wounded in the attack by the police unit, known
by its Portuguese acronym FIR, in the Gorongosa area, Gilberto
Chirindza, deputy head of information for the opposition party, said
by mobile phone today, declining to give further information and
saying a press conference will be held tomorrow. Calls to the
Mozambican police weren’t answered.
“Reports are still coming in bit by bit, but we were attacked by FIR
and our leader Afonso Dhlakama was present when the attack took place.
So far that is all we know,” Alberto Masango, a Renamo official in
neighboring Manica Province said by mobile phone.
Mozambique is the site of an aluminum smelter operated by BHP Billiton

Uganda Cuts Benchmark Rate Ninth Time This Year to Spur Growth Bloomberg
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-12-04/uganda-cuts-benchmark-rate-ninth-time-this-year-to-spur-growth.html
Uganda’s central bank cut its benchmark interest rate for the ninth
time this year to stimulate borrowing and spur economic growth.
The Bank of Uganda lowered the policy rate to 12 from 12.5 percent,
Governor Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile told reporters today in the
capital, Kampala. The median estimate of four economists surveyed by
Bloomberg was a reduction of 25 basis points.
The central bank lowered borrowing costs by 10.5 percentage points in
the first 10 months of the year, reversing last year’s rate increases.
Growth slowed to 3.2 percent in the year through June from 6.7 percent
in the previous 12 months, according to the Uganda Bureau of
Statistics. The economy will probably expand 5.4 percent this fiscal
year, it said.
Inflation in the East Africa’s third-biggest economy accelerated for
the first time in nine months in November to 4.9 percent from 4.5
percent in October after prices of some food items rose, the Uganda
Bureau of Statistics said on Nov. 30.
Conclusions

Kenya bomb blast wounds nine people in Nairobi Reuters Kenyan Economy |
Moses Ombati, Nairobi's police chief, said it appeared the bomb had
been planted near a trader's kiosk earlier in the day.
"We think it was detonated by remote control," Ombati said by phone
from the blast site where plastic household utensils littered the
ground.
The attack appeared to target Kenyan nationals in Eastleigh, a rundown
part of the city where there is widespread resentment towards the
Somali immigrants who run many of the local businesses.
Nine people were wounded in the blast and three of those victims were
in a critical condition, the Kenyan Red Cross said on the social media
site Twitter.
An angry crowd pressed against a police cordon and demanded that
Somalis, many of whom fled years of fighting in their home country to
settle in Nairobi, leave the city.
"Why is this happening to the local people and not the Somalis. Let
the police leave this place and we'll sort it out," said one Eastleigh
resident who did not give his name.
Conclusions
If it is The Al Shabaab [and as at the time of filing this Their
Twitter Handle @HSMPress had not commented] then They are trying to
drive a Wedge between the Somalia Diaspora in Kenya and Kenyans.
