Ukraine
The civil war just started, it will take seven years. After that there will be West Ukraine with European allegiance and East Ukraine with Russian allegiance. Kiev too will be divided to two, cut across the river from North to South: from the Northern border, through Kiev to the Black Sea. Let's all hope and pray that there will not be too much horror and civilian casualties.

Conakry Vs. Beirut
Beirut, March 15, 2014.
This Blog comes out on the day after the newly appointed Lebanese government declared it had internally agreed on its manifesto declaration. Let's hope this happens and the government gets sworn in parliament next week.
What would have happened if not? how deep will the Lebanese Economy could still dive under water? The answer that I keep repeating is as low as Conakry. You have much more economic similitudes that differences between Beirut and Conakry.
Traffic Jams, Bureaucracy, French Mandate, Bureaucracy, Slogans, Bureaucracy, Regional Crop Exporters, Bureaucracy, Education (Conakry boasts of 45 universities) , Bureaucracy, Rich Underground, Bureaucracy, Drained Moral Values, …. the most important is the general decrease in purchasing power and drifting to poorer and poorer lifestyles leading to hunger and famine with time.
Instead of listening to Michel Hayek and Leila AbdelLatif, fellow Lebanese can easily see their future by looking at where Conakry is now, it is five years ahead of Lebanon. Lebanon is sinking behind Guinea Republic year after year, both countries are going down irreversibly.
Lebanon is a Water regional power and potentially oil and gas, while Guinea leads the world statistics in all mineral reserves.

Sports in Lebanon
Sequel to the soccer referees in Singapore sex for results scandal, the match fixing of the soccer team for betting wins and the disqualification of the National Men Basketball team and banning all other clubs from international games, here comes the winter Sochi Olympics. The Sports Ministry suddenly woke up from hibernation to scandalize Jackie Chamoun for taking sexy calendar photo shoots three years ago. The good thing is that there is a new government to be sworn in and we may finish from the rookie minster.

Yesterday morning, February 28, 2013, was the first time I see Lebanon mentioned on Euronews sports program on cable. It concerned the national Lebanese soccer team match fixing. About two hours after that, the Lebanese sports minister was being interviewed on one local news radio station. He said he was very happy that for the first time wrong doers are being persecuted in Lebanon by the Lebanese Federation and that it is outside the Ministry's scope to punish the relevant players and staff. He did not offer his resignation.
