Sunday, 31 January, 2010: Moscow - Libya has struck a deal to buy Russian arms
worth almost two billion dollars, Russian news agencies quoted Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin as saying Saturday. "Yesterday (Friday), a contract worth 1.3 billion euros (1.8
billion dollars) was signed. It does not only involve firearms", Putin was quoted as
saying by Ria Novosti and Interfax. Putin was speaking following a meeting with the
head of the Izhmash factory, which manufactures Kalashnikov rifles. Russian officials
said early this week that negotiations were underway with the Libyan Defence Minister
Younes Jaber in Moscow over the sale of Russian weapons. The Russian prime
minister did not specify the type of arms or military equipment involved in the deal. But a
Russian diplomatic source told Interfax Tuesday however that Libya wanted to acquire
20 fighter planes, at least two S-300 air defence systems, several dozen T-90C tanks
and other arms. [AFP]

Sunday, 31 January, 2010: Deputy Head of the Higher Islamic Shiite Council Sheikh
Abdul Amir Qabalan stressed that Lebanon should boycott the forthcoming Arab
Summit that will be held in Libya. In an interview with An Nahar daily, Qabalan
described Libya as "a hostile and tyrant state." Qabalan accused Libya of kidnapping
AMAL's founder Imam Moussa Sadr and his companions in 1978. "Is that how we
respect Imam Sadr and his Lebanese, Arab, and Islamic position?" added Qabalan,
admonishing Lebanon's decision to participate in Libya's summit. As Qabalan hailed the
inter-Arab reconciliations, he voiced refusal for them to happen "on expense of Imam
Sadr's cause," adding that participation becomes legitimate if the case was solved
before the occurrence of the summit and if the Lebanese officials put prior conditions on
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to reveal the truth in Sadr's case. [Nahar Net]

で多くの軋轢が生じている。
Sunday, 31 January, 2010: The African Union (AU) was to kick off its 14th summit
Sunday, with a rift over Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's likely bid to keep the
organisation's chair set to overshadow talks on the continent's many conflicts. The
summit's official theme is information technology and United Nations Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon was expected to highlight the importance of putting the Millennium
Development Goals back on their 2015 target. But the 53-member body's annual
meeting at the Addis Ababa headquarters looked set to be hijacked by one of its most
controversial leaders. Kadhafi was elected almost by default a year ago but set the tone
for his tenure by claiming to be the "king of kings" and vowing to achieve the "United
States of Africa" project he has championed for years. But his dream of a fully integrated
continent, his pet craze since he pushed through the creation of the AU in 2001, still
looks a tall order and the unease was palpable in the corridors of the Addis
headquarters ahead of the summit. "Kadhafi's chairmanship has been very harmful to
the AU's image, notably in the handling of political crises such as Madagascar and
Guinea," said an official close to Jean Ping, who heads the body's main executive arm.

and the post was only for a year. How bad could it be? As his tenure as Brother Leader
comes to a close, we finally have the answer: in his efforts to embarrass himself and the

pan-African institution, he outdid even himself. This weekend probably marks the end of
his term, as African heads of state gather in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. They're
likely to reject a last-ditch Kaddafi effort to stay on in the AU's top post, for a very long
list of reasons. [Newsweek]

people in our streets here or travel to Algeria or Egypt or elsewhere to stage attacks," he said in

Thursday, 7 January, 2010: CAIRO, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- Libya protested on Wednesday
decision taken by the U.S. to apply tightened security measures in airports on its citizens,
Libyan news agency Jana reported. Libya's General People's Committee for Foreign Liaison
and International Cooperation said it summoned on Wednesday the U.S. ambassador in
Tripoli Gene A. Cretz to protest against the measure. On his part, the U.S. ambassador said
the decision does not mean that his country has re-listed Libya among terrorism sponsor
countries. "Not all the countries in the list are terrorism-sponsor countries... The U.S.
administration believes there were extremist movements in those countries and it is
following up them (the movements) because some of their members might enter the U.S.,"
he said. However, Secretary General of the committee Mousa Kousa said "whatever the
explanations he heard (from the ambassador) were," Libya will apply the reciprocity principle.
