Libya: the colonel keeps them guessing

In: The Middle East, Heft 186, S. 23

Abstract

An account of Gaddafi's latest political moves such as approaches to Egypt as well as to Sudan, which are characterised however as unpredictable as ever. Libya's new bullishness is related to increased revenues which have resulted from greater oil production. Western companies such as Petrofina SA, Belgium's biggest oil, gas, and petrochemical concern are reported to have been eager to take advantage of this new oil wealth. (DÜI-Asd)
