France studies giving more counter-terrorism aid to Libya
By Aziz El Yaakoubi
RABAT (Reuters) – French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Thursday France was considering giving Libya more aid in counter-terrorism, including training more police.
Two years after a NATO-backed war of regime-change and counter-revolution ousted Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s government is struggling to control rival militias and al Qaeda-linked Islamist militants who are using lawless southern Libya as a base.
Fabius said the French military presence in Libya’s neighbor Mali was needed to help the region. Militants have threatened to attack French interests since Paris sent troops into the country this year.

Vidéo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Dans le journal de France 2, ce samedi, un très beau sujet magazine sur les migrants de Lampedusa. Signé par Michel Mompontet et cinq autres journalistes.
Le reportage commence en mer, la nuit, lors de l’opération de sauvetage d’un bateau. On y voit les migrants dans un état second, après dix jours de voyage – des enfants même pas en âge de parler serrés contre leurs mères. La voix-off explique que ce groupe là va s’en sortir, il a eu la chance de croiser les gardes-côtes (l’équipe du sympathique commandant Indelicato).

„Libya’s security risks, that we highlighted could threaten the oil and gas industry’s recovery in 2012, have played out. Production has fallen rapidly in Q313 on the back of resurgence in domestic tensions, which could be exacerbated by growing unrest in the wider North African region. Oil and gas production forecasts have been downwardly revised as a result of these developments, particularly for the short term. The deficit of greenfield investment, owing to political unrest, will spill over into the long term in the form of slower production growth, as Libya underperforms its raw hydrocarbon potential.
