Who's head need rolling in Libya?

The news that the Libyan government invested $500 mln with the disgraced Allen Stanford (who currently faces criminal and civil charges in USA related to a $7 billion fraud) was a shock to say the least, when the Libyan government officials so many times assured us that all Libyan assets and investments are in safe hands! that the current credit crunch / economic meltdown doesn’t concern us! But this new revelation about Libyan involvement with Mr. Stanford indicate otherwise, and it shows that our smart boys at the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) don’t have a clue and living in an ivory tower, by meeting this man so many times and looking to increasing the investment even during this unstable climate, when most governments cut their losses and run but no not ours, our boys insist in dealing with these type of shoddy investment firms, so it looks like we could kiss this $500mln good bye, and I bet no one would shed a tear drop for this loss apart from the ordinary Libyan who lives in dire strait and who can’t even get a decent living.

I wonder what we could do with $500mln inside Libya. May be building a new high standard hospital or new high tech. schools or may be a decent roads without the pot holes, or clean up our towns from litters, the list is endless.

I believe there should be a transparency system to adhere to when it comes to spending, and that including investments in foreign lands, it seems no one is keeping an eye on LIA, and it’s about time for some heads to roll to pay for any disastrous decisions so this type of unwise act doesn’t reoccur.

Bright boy in Hampshire and murder scene in Lancashire

It’s been a while since I posted any materials, life was too busy even to sit down and type few lines, however today I managed to break this silence, by sharing with you a good news , yes good news despite all the bad news we hear and watch now days, it’s about a success story of a young 8 years Muslim boy called Zohaib Ahmed who lives in England who managed to pass his A level exams in maths and scored A grade, he beat a record which was held previously by a Hong Kong boy who was 9 years old when he passed his A level exams and got an A grade in maths in 1977.

This morning I went to my nearby rail station to go to work, and I saw few people waiting then after few minutes later and I seen them leaving for no apparent reason, after 15 minutes of waiting and when no sign of the train coming,I decided to go to the main station and when I arrived there I saw all the trains stationary and I was told by the station manager that the lines has been closed down between our town and the next one as the railway police found a body on that railways and the police cordoned the area for further investigation, so we end up to get the buses provided by the railways to take us to next operable station, at the end it took me basically nearly 3hours to get to my work place, I am praying the lines will be open by the time I go home! I wonder what exactly really happend over there? all will be revealed soon. All I could say thank god it’s Friday.

Libya's Museum of Conflict

For the first time in many years, Libya will have a purpose built museum in the shape of an ultra-modern Bedouin tent, and this museum will be similar to the War museum in London and it will be called Libya’s Museum of Conflict, it will cover present and past conflicts and wars that Libya was part of since can man remember, the design of the building is ready and the opening day was set to be sometimes in year 2011.
Specialised museums are in a short supply in Libya and this new museum would be a great welcome, and hopefully more and more would be built, this would increase the knowledge and awareness of Libyan history among its people and any visitor.
