Jihadists' control of Syrian oilfields signals a decisive moment in conflict
|
19.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Source of funding is helping al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra to sideline western-backed rebels and reshape the Middle East
The stranglehold that Jabhat al-Nusra and its allies have achieved over Syria's oilfields signals a decisive moment in the conflict that will shape the rapidly and violently evolving map of the new Middle East.
The impact is immediately visible. With a new independent source of funding, the jihadists holding the oilfields between al-Raqqa and Deir Ezzor are much better equipped than their Sunni rivals, reinforcing the advantage originally provided by Qatari backing. They have been able to provide bread and other essentials to the people in the areas under their control, securing an enduring popular base.
This serves to marginalise the western-backed rebels, the National Coalition and the Supreme Military Council (SMC), even further. The blustering claim by the SMC commander, Salim Idriss, that he was going to muster a 30,000 force to retake the oilfields served only ... |

EU decision to lift Syrian oil sanctions boosts jihadist groups
|
19.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaida affiliate, consolidates position as scramble for control of wells accelerates
The EU decision to lift Syrian oil sanctions to aid the opposition has accelerated a scramble for control over wells and pipelines in rebel-held areas and helped consolidate the grip of jihadist groups over the country's key resources.
Jabhat al-Nusra, affiliated with al-Qaida and other extreme Islamist groups, control the majority of the oil wells in Deir Ezzor province, displacing local Sunni tribes, sometimes by force. They have also seized control of other fields from Kurdish groups further to the north-east, in al-Hasakah governorate.
As opposition groups have turned their guns on each other in the battle over oil, water and agricultural land, military pressure on Bashar al-Assad's government from the north and east has eased off. In some areas, al-Nusra has struck deals with government forces to allow the transfer of crude across the front lines to the Mediterranean coast.

Two food cities: Restaurateurs compare Minneapolis and St. Paul
|
18.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| It's a tried-and-true topic here — the differences between the two non-identical Twins. Familiar truisms abound — St. Paul is more tradition-minded, more respectful of its past, more Catholic, more "Eastern" (as in possessing neighborhoods, like Cathedral Hill, that put you in mind of Boston's South End). Minneapolis is more "Western" — more Denverish — more Lutheran, more restless and trendy.
There's some truth to this set of contrasts, as well as some overemphases and some strong emerging counter-trends. We thought that it might be interesting to get a food-business point of view on this perennial topic, so we asked owners and managers at three locally based restaurants with locations in both St. Paul and Minneapolis how the two towns were different, from a foodie's perspective.
No Twin Cities restaurateur, of course, would ever tell a reporter which city he or she likes better; it's like asking which of their kids they like better — and it's commercial suicide too. But people in ... |

Obama's Arctic strategy sets off a climate time bomb | Nafeez Ahmed
|
17.5.2013 |
Guardian: Science |
| US National Strategy for the Arctic Region prioritises corporate 'economic opportunities' at the expense of everyone else
One week ago, the Obama administration launched its National Strategy for the Arctic Region , outlining the government's strategic priorities over the next 10 years. The release of the strategy came about a week after the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President at the White House Complex hosted a briefing with international Arctic scientists .
Despite giving lip service to the values of environmental conservation, the new document focuses on how the US can manage the exploitation of the region's vast untapped oil, gas and mineral resources in cooperation with other Arctic powers.
US hinges success of Arctic strategy on diminishing sea ice
At the heart of the White House's new Arctic strategy is an elementary but devastating contradiction between what President Obama, in the document's preamble, describes as seeking "to ... |

As Europe struggles, the Franco-German alliance turns testy
|
16.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Photoshopped images of German Chancellor Angela Merkel dressed in Nazi uniform have become a common sight at angry protests across Europe , especially in southern countries that disagree with her budget-cutting prescription to lead the Continent out of its debt crisis.
But it is a far less provocative message of European discontent, coming from the ruling party of France , that has some more worried.
In a recent draft document, French Socialist politicians blamed Ms. Merkel’s “selfish intransigence,” and dubbed her the “chancellor of austerity,” with some even publicly picking a fight with the German leader. In doing so, they are putting to the test one of the cornerstones of the European Union : the Franco-German alliance.
The relationship between the two powers has always been fraught due to their profoundly different political systems and cultures. And today the cohesion of the 27-member EU is founded on much more than just the relationship between the two biggest economies of the ... |

Letters: No plans for new investment in coal
|
16.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Your article ( European energy chief puts forward case for funding coal , 12 May) says the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has "hinted it may expand funding of high-carbon coal projects despite mounting pressure from climate change campaigners to rule out such investments". This suggestion is wrong. The EBRD is not considering an expansion of its funding of coal projects. The EBRD has been pioneering in its development of a sustainable energy initiative which is actively promoting energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources across the regions where it invests. The EBRD may, on a selective basis and taking into account the lack of availability of alternative sources of energy, consider financing coal-fired projects that would replace highly polluting existing plants with new state of the art ones, thus improving energy efficiency and lowering emissions. But there is no consideration of a policy of expanding its funding for coal projects.
