Les garde-côtes grecs viennent d’arrêter un cargo chargé d’armes. Parti d’Alexandrie en Egypte il avait rejoint le port turc d’Iskenderun où il serait resté 4 jours.

A coast guard patrol boat raided the vessel on Tuesday, 20 nautical miles northeast of Crete. The freighter, with a crew of seven and which had sailed from the Turkish port of Iskenderun, was escorted to Heraklion port on the island.
The United Nations has imposed an embargo on weapons shipments to Libya, which is plagued by factional conflict.
“The ship’s crew is being questioned and the content of its containers will be checked,” a coast guard official said, declining to be named.
The coast guard provided no further details of what kind of arms the freighter had on board, or its ownership.
A Turkish foreign ministry spokesman confirmed the cargo included weapons but said it was fully documented and was destined for the Sudanese police force. The vessel was also carrying building materials for Libya, he said.

Rappelons que Misrata est le fief de la milice Fajr Libya, qui fait office de bras armé du gouvernement de Tripoli dominé par les Frères musulmans et qui est soutenu par le Qatar et la Turquie, contre celui de Tobrouk soutenu plutôt par les Occidentaux. Cependant, selon le porte-parole du ministère des affaires étrangères turc, les armes étaient destinées aux forces de police soudanaises et seul du matériel de construction devait être livré en Libye mais ...

“If investigations by the Greek authorities show that the consignment is going to receivers other than those stated in the documentation, and if that is shared with us, naturally measures could be taken,” foreign ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic said.

Qatar is to spend $254m (£157m) rebuilding Gaza, the biggest injection of reconstruction aid for the Palestinian enclave since it was devastated in an Israeli military offensive nearly four years ago.

The Qatari ambassador Mohammed al-Amadi said cooperation had been arranged with Israel and Egypt to admit building materials and heavy machinery to Gaza, which is under a partial blockade, and work would begin within three months.

The first project will be construction of a highway that will run the length of the Mediterranean coastal strip.

The projects are of sufficient scale to transform Gaza and the lives of its 1.6 million people, 28% of whom are unemployed.

Il y a presque 50 ans Mr Heineken avait envisagé un #recyclage des bouteilles de #bière fabriquées en forme de briques !

Mr. Heineken’s idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials. The WOBO became his vision to solve both the recycling and housing challenges that he had witnessed on the islands.
