Morocco eliminate Tunisia in African Nations Championship
African Nations Championship (CHAN) holders Tunisia were eliminated this weekend in the first qualifying round.
They drew 0-0 away to Morocco in the second leg, but fell 1-0 on aggregate after losing at home last Saturday.
Packed with stars from CAF title-winning clubs Esperance, Etoile Sahel, CS Sfaxien, Club Africain and CA Bizertin, Tunisia were expected to advance.
But a last-minute breakaway goal from striker Abdessamad Mbarki in Mediterranean resort Sousse proved decisive over two defence-dominated games.
Tunisia won the second edition of the tournament for home-based footballers with a 3-0 drubbing of Angola in Sudan two years ago.
But coach Nabil Maaloul chose only goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha from the title-winning squad to confront the Moroccans.
The 16-nation 2014 tournament is scheduled for January 11-February 1 in South Africa and Morocco will appear at the finals for the first time.
South Africa qualify automatically as hosts and Ghana and Libya have secured places after opponents Benin and Algeria withdrew.
Uganda are set to join them after building a 1-0 away advantage over Tanzania in an east Africa derby.
Midfielder Brian Majwega was the architect of the 48th-minute winner, setting up defender Denis Iguma to fire across goalkeeper Juma Kaseja into the net.
Tanzania had more possession in the eagerly anticipated Dar es Salaam showdown, but were let down by woeful finishing.
Mrisho Ngasa was repeatedly off target with long-range shots and striker John Bocco also disappointed when offered scoring opportunities.
It was the third consecutive victory for Serb coach Milutin Sredojevic since succeeding sacked Scot Bobby Williamson as Uganda coach last month.
He guided the ‘Cranes’ to World Cup qualifying wins over Liberia and Angola, and a victory over Senegal during September would take them to the play-offs.
However, Sredojevic cautioned against premature celebrations, especially given the Ugandan habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
“By winning the first leg we have got only the passports for South Africa and now we need to get the visas by winning the return match,” he told reporters.
Ethiopia host Rwanda later on Sunday in the remaining fixture this weekend with second-leg fixtures scheduled for late July.

Who Is Running Iran?
By Jim Emerson
According to Ali Alfoneh at the American Enterprise Institute, Iran has transformed from a Theocracy to a Military Dictatorship under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top clerics are now under the control of the Guards. The silent power shift was aided by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was the first military veteran to hold the post. His economic policies allowed the IRGC to create the economic leverage necessary to control the nation.
Ayatollah Khamenei is now just a figurehead used to camouflage the IRGC silent coup and keep the populace in line. The IRGC itself is a thugocracy, ruthless in its bid to control the nation. They are the actual power driving the nuclear program of the regime. It is unlikely that they will surrender that program as long it serves their purpose. The IRGC came to power by infiltrating the Republic of Iran’s political, economic, and cultural spheres.
The power play between Ahmadinejad and the clerics may have been resolved with the Ayatollah losing his control. The next President of Iran will be selected by the IRGC and will most likely be a member of their Guard.
Since the revolution 34 years ago, the regime’s ruling class has been made up mainly of clerics. But the shift of power in leadership will result in members of the IRGC taking control.
This is nothing new in the Middle East as the former leadership of Egypt and Libya were part of the nation’s military. The Ayatollah has to be nervous. If he does attempt to challenge the IRGC, he can be replaced with a more willing puppet.
The current IRGC has little respect for the United States and the west. The Revolutionary Guards have no respect for Barack Obama or his Administration. In fact, they consider Obama weak and ineffective. The last President for whom they had respect was the firm and consistent George Bush; they feared him. The IRGC knew that, unlike the current White House resident and that buffoon at State, Bush was a man who didn’t mince words when it came to foreign policy.

Libya: Bomb hits police station in Benghazi
Libyan security officials say a blast hit a police station in the eastern city of Benghazi, causing no human casualties but underlining the fragile security situation in the country’s east.
The explosion took place early morning Saturday at Barka police station, destroying the facade, the officials said. It was the second bombing at the site this year.
A day earlier, a militiaman was killed when armed men attacked the headquarters of his pro-government group, Uqba ibn Nafi, in the eastern city of Darnah. The area is largely controlled by radical Islamist militias, officials said.
Meanwhile, a five-star hotel in Tripoli evacuated its staff and guests after receiving a bomb threat on Friday. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of they were not authorized to speak to the press.

Libyan officers demand dismissal of military chief
Libyan military officers are demanding the dismissal of the army chief of staff, pledging to go on strike if he is not replaced.
Hundreds of officers met late Sunday in the eastern Libyan city of Brega. They gave Libya‘s government 10 days to comply with their demands, threatening to walk away from their posts.
The officers charge that the army chief, Maj. Gen. Youssef al-Mangoush, is guilty of corruption, poor management and hiring commanders from the deposed regime of Moammar Gadhafi. They also demand the dismissal of those commanders, as well as trial of officers involved in killing rebels who fought against Gadhafi in Libya‘s 2011 civil war.
This was the first time army officers took part in rallies against al-Mangoush. The protests have been going on for a month.

Top Gadhafi aide to face trial in Egypt
A cousin and onetime top aid of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi will face trial in Egypt on charges of attempted murder.
Prosecutor Hamdi Mansour ordered Sunday that Ahmed Qaddaf al-Dam be tried for attempted murder, resisting arrest and possession of firearms without a license. The charges stem from a skirmish with police during his arrest last month in Cairo.
Al-Dam had long been the point man on relations between Libya and Egypt under Gadhafi. He challenged a Libyan request to extradite him, though two other Libyan officials arrested along with him have already been sent back.
An Egyptian court ruled in his favor on grounds he fears he won’t be guaranteed his full rights in Libya.
Libya has asked Egypt to hand over around 100 other former regime officials.

French ex-President Sarkozy faces probe over alleged Qaddafi funding
French authorities are probing allegations that former President Nicolas Sarkozy utilized illicit campaign contributions from the late Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, the public prosecutor’s office said on Friday.
Reuters reports the inquiry into Sarkozy’s funding for his 2007 election bid stems from allegations lodged by a Franco-Lebanese businessman, Ziad Takieddine, who is, himself, being investigated for selling arms to Pakistan during the 1990s.
Already plagued by accusations that he conned an elderly French heiress into donating to his campaign, Sarkozy has denied the allegations and said that his efforts to unseat Qaddafi prove that he is innocent of the charges.
Qaddafi , who was killed during a popular uprising in Libya in 2011, met Sarkozy in Paris in 2007, Reuters reports.

Yemenis dismantle tents, declare end of revolution
In a symbolic move, Yemenis on Thursday began to dismantle protest tent camp in the capital, Sanaa, and other cities across the country, declaring the end of their revolution.
Yemenis, long dissatisfied with their ruler, President Ali Abdullah Salah, watched with the rest of the Middle East as Egyptians rose up against their president, Hosni Mubarak. On the day he resigned, Feb. 11, 2001, Yemen erupted into its own popular revolution.
Unlike Egypt‘s 18-day uprising, Yemen‘s dragged on. And unlike Libya, opponents of the regime did not take up arms from the beginning to the end.
They stood their ground in the streets in the face of a harsh crackdown by Saleh’s security forces and later by armed men in civilian clothes. They won protection from a defected army unit that guarded the tent camp day and night, putting an end to regime violence against them.
Starting on Feb, 11, 2011, tens of thousands of Yemenis left their homes and slept in tent camps set up in city squares. Every morning, they would march out of the camps, holding hands and dancing to patriotic songs blaring from loudspeakers.
Hundreds of thousands marched in daily demonstrations that transformed to weekly marches and demonstrations after Saleh agreed to sign a power transfer plan in November 2011. The deal, brokered by neighboring Arab Gulf countries and backed by the United States and the West, gave him immunity from prosecution in return for ending his 33-year reign.
Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was rubber-stamped as the country’s new leader in one-candidate presidential elections. In February last year, the official transfer of power to Hadi marked a new beginning for Yemen and a partial victory for the revolution.
Protesters did not leave the streets after Hadi’s assumption of power, signaling a second chapter of the power struggle between the new leaders and Saleh’s relatives and loyalists holding key and crucial positions in government and military. Protesters staged demonstrations demanding that Hadi push for full-scale reforms and purge Saleh’s men from state institutions.
On Thursday, The Organizational Committee of the Popular Youth Revolution and Youth Groups, which organized the protests, said in a statement that it decided to suspend its sit-ins in all Freedom and Change Squares, the name given to city centers where tent camps were set up, decreeing that all the tents would be removed.

Libya urged to give ex-spy chief access to lawyer
An international rights group is urging Libyan authorities to give an ex-spy chief indicted for alleged crimes against humanity access to a lawyer.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a statement on Wednesday that its team visited Abdullah al-Senoussi in prison earlier this month and that he did not complain of any physical mistreatment in prison, but said he didn’t have a lawyer.
Al-Senoussi was indicted by The International Criminal Court in June 2011 for crimes against humanity during brutal attempts to put down the Libyan rebellion that ousted dictator Moammar Gadhafi after four decades in power.
Sarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch says al-Senoussi needs to be granted the rights the Gadhafi regime long denied to the Libyan people.

US foe Cuba sends condolences for marathon attack
Cuba is condemning the deadly attack on the Boston marathon and reiterated its rejection of all forms of terrorism, yet another small expression of goodwill between the traditional Cold War enemies.
Foreign Ministry official Josefina Vidal expressed “the most heartfelt condolences of the people and government of Cuba to the people and government of the United States, particularly those directly affected by this tragedy.”
Vidal said Cuba “rejects and condemns unequivocally all acts of terrorism, in any place, under any circumstance, and with whatever motivation.”
While the two countries have been at odds for half a century, Cuba has expressed solidarity in the past, most recently when a U.S. ambassador was killed in Libya.
Washington must soon decide whether to keep Cuba on a list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Joint Statement by the United States and the United Arab Emirates
In their meeting today at the White House, President Obama and the UAE's Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan reaffirmed their commitment to the strong partnership and friendship between their two countries.
The Crown Prince expressed his condolences for those who were affected by yesterday’s attack in Boston.
The two leaders highlighted the expanding ties between the United States and the UAE, reflecting common strategic interests. The Crown Prince thanked President Obama for the United States’ leadership in the region, including the President’s efforts to advance peace, security, and opportunity in the Middle East.
The President and Crown Prince pledged to sustain the expanding economic ties between the United States and the UAE, noting that the UAE remains the United States’ largest export market in the Middle East and a significant investor in the United States. The President commended the UAE for hosting the successful Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Dubai last December, and both leaders highlighted the importance of fostering broad-based economic opportunity in the region, particularly for young people. They also discussed the relationships the UAE is building with leading U.S. institutions, including in education, health care, and the arts.
The President and Crown Prince also reaffirmed their shared commitment to close defense and security cooperation, including joint training exercises, counterterrorism cooperation and the deployment of interoperable U.S. defense systems. The President expressed appreciation for the UAE’s contributions to NATO missions in Afghanistan and Libya. The President and the Crown Prince also discussed a range of regional challenges, including the need for Iran to meet its international obligations with respect to its nuclear program, the ongoing conflict in Syria, and countering the threat of violent extremism.
The President and Crown Prince pledged to continue to deepen the U.S.-UAE partnership through close and regular consultations between the two countries. A photo of the meeting can be found HERE.
Analysis: US offers talks but not on NKorean terms
After weeks of war cries, North Korea has options to dial down tensions with the U.S. and South Korea, but it’s unlikely to be tempted by Washington’s offer to restart negotiations on its nuclear program.
Despite Pyongyang‘s threats of attack, South Korea‘s new government has offered it talks on the joint industrial park shut by the North during the latest standoff. And a U.S. decision to postpone a long-range missile test this month could provide a pretext for the North to declare a symbolic victory.
Through it all, the U.S. has made clear the door remains open for talks — a point hammered home by Secretary of State John Kerry on every stop on his just-completed trip to Northeast Asia.
The problem is the offer of talks has a precondition the government of Kim Jong Un won’t swallow.
The U.S. is adamant that North recommit itself to giving up nuclear weapons, as it did in a 2005 agreement arising from the so-called six-party talks: aid-for-disarmament negotiations hosted by China, and also joined by Japan, Russia and South Korea, that have been suspended for four years.
Pyongyang has made it increasingly clear it won’t negotiate away its atomic arsenal, which it views as a guarantee that Kim’s authoritarian regime won’t go the same way as those in Iraq and Libya that were toppled in U.S.-backed invasions.
For now, it’s still far from clear whether the security crisis on and around the Korean Peninsula has abated.
The belligerent rhetoric pumped out by North Korea has subsided a little in recent days, as the country commemorates the 101st birthday anniversary of founding leader Kim Il Sung.
But it has rejected Seoul’s offer of talks, and could yet rock the boat by test-firing two medium-range missiles reportedly readied on its east coast that could be launched over Japan. That would risk another round of condemnation in the U.N. Security Council, which last month approved its toughest sanctions yet on the North in response to its latest nuclear test.
Even in the feverish climate stoked by North Korea‘s threats, some policy experts are urging the Obama administration to show more flexibility in its dealings with the Kim regime.

Libya militants deny Benghazi-linked leader shot
Members of a disbanded Islamic extremist militia are denying claims that the commander of the group has been shot. The group is suspected of involvement in an attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans last September.
Former militiamen of Ansar al-Shariah, dissolved after protests against them last year, told The Associated Press Monday that Sufyan bin Qumu, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, had not been attacked by unknown assailants, as a security official claimed.
They say another member was shot That’s in line with reports by local media in Derna, where the attack took place late Sunday.
The former militiamen, who spoke anonymously due to the sensitivity of the subject, denied the group had any involvement in the Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Head of Libyan Islamic extremist militia shot
A security official says the leader of an Islamic extremist militia in Libya suspected of involvement in an attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador has been shot.
Sufyan bin Qumu, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, was shot Sunday in the area of al-Thruwn in the eastern city of Darna, a stronghold of Islamic extremists.
The security official says he was taken to a nearby hospital and is in the intensive care unit. He spoke anonymously in line with regulations.
Residents of eastern Libya, where the September attack against the U.S. consulate took place, have been standing up to Ansar al-Shariah. Protesters stormed the group’s compound in Benghazi days after the attack.
No suspects have been named in the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Despite sequester, State Department ups support for the UN
Even as the mandated sequester bites into U.S. federal spending — and newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry boasts that he is cutting his budget by 6 percent — the State Department is planning to boost spending on the United Nations in 2014 by more than 4 percent to at least $3.6 billion.
That is likely to be far from the final tally of Obama Administration support, as hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. development, health and other funds are usually channeled through U.N. agencies and institutions — with the U.N. agencies taking administrativefees as part of the deal. The most recent tally on the website of the White House Management and Budget website, for example, lists support for the U.N. at $7.7 billion — in 2010.
Nonetheless, the portions that are sprinkled across various areas of State’s 2014 budget—which, like the rest of the administration’s proposed budget, must still face Congressional approval– are impressive, at least in terms of their hikes over previous years.
The projected spending increase for the New York-based U.N. Secretariat, for example, is an 8.6 percent hike, to $617.6 million, compared with 2013. It represents the U.S.’ 22 percent annual share –the highest by far of any country–of the Secretariat’s “regular” budget covered by dues levied on richer member states.
When a broader array of U.N. affiliated agencies, listed under “Contributions to International Organizations,” are added in to the Secretariat support, the U.S. planned contribution climbs to $1.2 billion — a still significant 4.5 percent hike in an age of enforced American domestic austerity.
Meantime, proposed U.S. contributions to U.N. peacekeeping are also taking a big hike, to $2.09 billion, up more than a quarter-billion dollars, or 13.9 percent, from 2013, and an even more impressive 14.6 percent since 2012.
One reason: there has been an increase this year in the annual share of global peacekeeping expenses that the U.S. bears, from 27.14 percent to 28.36 percent, even as a number of peacekeeping missions close or shrink.
But there have also been expanded, and unexpected, increases in U.N. forces in Libya, Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia, to name a few. The State Department budget also contains, among other things, an optimistic $50 million item to support a “U.N. presence in Syria.”
Even those total big-ticket categories, of course, vastly understate the amount of money that the U.S.. showers on the U.N. each year, which includes food aid, healthand humanitarian assistance that are channeled through U.N. agencies, which claim administrative fees for handling the aid — though often not especially well.
Just as important as the overall amount, however, are the Administration’s priorities, in a $47.8 billion budget that Secretary of State Kerry, in an 8-page introductory letter, calls “a reflection of priorities and hard choices in a difficult fiscal environment.” (Interestingly enough, the term “United Nations” does not occur even once in the letter.)
This time, even some of the much smaller priority streams of U.S. funding through U.N. channels may prove controversial.
Among them: an Administration renewal of

Tunisian sets self on fire to protest theft claim
A security official says a young Tunisian man has set himself on fire in a town near the Libyan border after being accused of theft.
Samir Ben Tahar, 25, had denied any wrongdoing, maintaining he was in Libya at the time of the theft, said the official in the border town of Ben Guerdane.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said Ben Tahar was in the hospital in critical condition after suffering from third degree burns Thursday.
According Interior Ministry figures, it is the 165th case of a self-immolation in Tunisia since that of an itinerant fruit-seller in the town of Sidi Bouzid.
That young man’s burning and eventual death sparked Tunisia‘s successful pro-democracy uprising in December 2010.

Congressman Challenges Colleagues To Press Obama On Benghazi
By Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX)
WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36) released the following open letter to Congress Tuesday afternoon, encouraging members to support Congressman Frank Wolf’s bill creating a Select Committee to investigate the Obama administration’s response to the Sept. 11, 2012 killings of Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
Dear Colleague:
As a fellow member of this body, I feel that we should protect and honor the sacrifice of those who sacrifice their lives to provide us with the freedoms that make our nation great.
In that same spirit, we should investigate and seek the truth about what happened on that tragic day in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
These four men served their nation with honor and character in the face of danger, and we likewise should honor their memory in seeking the truth about what actually took place that fateful day.
The purpose of this letter is to encourage colleagues of the House of Representatives to support Congressman Wolf’s H.Res. 36, which will create a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.
It is essential that a full accounting of the events of September 11, 2012, be provided and that the American public be fully informed regarding this egregious terrorist attack on US diplomatic personnel and facilities.
We owe that truth to the American people and the families of the fallen.
It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by previous hearings and inquiries.
Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus far.
The House Select Committee should address, at a minimum, the following questions:
1. Why was there no military response to the events in Benghazi?
a. Were military assets in the region available? If not, why not?
b. If so, were they alerted?
c. Were assets deployed to any location in preparation for a rescue or recovery attempt?
d. Was military assistance requested by the Department of State? If so, what type?
e. Were any US Army/Naval/USMC assets available to support the US diplomats in Benghazi during the attack?
f. What, if any, recommendations for military action were made by DOD and the US Africa Command?
2. What, if any, non-military assistance was provided during the attack?
3. How many US personnel were injured in Benghazi?
4. Why have the survivors of the attack not been questioned?
5. Where are the survivors?
6. Who was in the White House Situation Room (WHSR) during the entire 8-hour period of the attacks, and was a senior US military officer present?
7. Where were Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey during the crisis, and what inputs and recommendations did they make?
8. Where were Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisor, Denis McDonough, his deputy, Valerie Jarrett and John Brennan during the attacks, and what (if any) recommendations or decisions did any of them make?
9. Why were F-16 fighter aircraft based in Aviano, Italy (less than two hours away) never considered a viable option for disruption (if not dispersal) of the attackers until “boots on the ground” (troop support–General Dempsey’s words) arrived?
10. Were any

European Drop to Keep Global Demand for Oil in Check
By Justin Loiseau, The Motley Fool
Filed under: Investing
2013 is expected to be the third consecutive year of weak growth in global oil demand, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) April Oil Market Report, a summary of which was released today.
The IEA highlighted what it anticipates will be the sharpest drop in European demand since 1985.
Worldwide, the IEA expects demand to increase by just 795,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2013. Countries outside the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development are predicted to drive growth with an additional 1.28 million-bpd demand, but a 480,000-bpd drop in OECD consumption will offset almost 40% of that gain in demand. In Europe, demand is expected to drop by 340,000 bpd, the weakest level since 1985.
On the other side of demand, the IEA expects non-OPEC supplies to increase 1.1 million bpd, driven largely by renewed exports from South Sudan. Although the IEA‘s press release does not list 2013 expectations for OPEC oil supplies, it does note that March supplies dropped 140,000 bpd due to disruptions in Nigeria, Libya, and Iraq.
