France "loses" Mohammad Suhair Siddiq, a key witness in Hariri trial<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Tuesday that Syrian national Mohammad Zuhair Siddiq, apparently a key witness, had "disappeared" while under close watch in France. "I'm sorry for that, and I don't know the conditions for his disappearance," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said.<\/p>\n

I’m certain that al-Siddiq did disappear and I feel really sorry about it,” Kouchner told AlArabiya News Channel on Tuesday, replying to a question about Mohammed Zuheir al-Siddiq, the Syrian key witness in Hariri’s murder.<\/p>\n

Al-Siddiq gave detailed information about the Hariri killing to the panel of U.N. investigators probing the February 2005 assassination. He was later accused by Lebanon of being himself a suspect to the murder and asked France to repatriate him. Paris refused to send him back to Beirut, saying he may face the death penalty in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The former Syrian army officer was arrested in France in October 2005 and placed under house arrest. He was later released but remained under the protection of French security forces. Kouchner said he was “the first to be sorry'. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Al-Kataeb claimed on their web-site a few days ago that they had exclusive information that Siddiq and his family somehow made it to Abu Dhabi…??!! …perhaps he snuck out in one of those crates they are using to ship the Louvre there…??!! <\/p>\n

I don’t know if you remember the NewTV kid who went to Paris and got an interview with the Siddiq and then got arrested and spent a month cooling his heels in jail upon his return to Beirut, but he did a report a couple of days ago on the high security he found around the Siddiq in Paris when he was interviewing him… Basically, the guy could not go ANYWHERE without at least 3 secret agents accompanying him and the kid had to interview him with them sitting one on either side of the Siddiq and the third blocking the exit…!! Even if he did get away from his guards, and with today’s paranoia at airports and border crossings, it is indeed a cause for concern if such a high-profile witness\/admitted-accomplice in the crime of the century could make it across… and with his family…!!?? So, make your own conclusions about how he managed to get away<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summit Redux gives everyone a chance to snub<\/strong><\/p>\n

Egypt is now talking about convening a special Lebanon Summit in Cairo but is worried that Syria will boycott it and thereby "snub" fellow Arab leaders. Egypt and Lebanon refused to attend the last Arab summit in Damascus a week ago. <\/p>\n

"Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Abu al-Gheit warned Syria<\/a> against boycotting a possible Arab foreign ministers' meeting to address the strained ties between Beirut and Damascus. Gheit told Future News television late Monday Syria must shoulder its responsibilities as it resides over the Arab summit.  He said no date has been set for the meeting called by Siniora. <\/p>\n

Economy<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

US exports to Syria have continued to grow, while imports from Syria continue to shrink, leaving a trade deficit in America's favor of USD 250 million last year. In 2005 by contrast, Syria had a trade surplus of USD 168 million with the US. 90 percent of Syria's imports from the US are Corn and Soybeans. The dominant Syrian export to the US is fuel oil.  <\/p>\n

Official Report on the increase in prices of basic consumer products 2007\/2008<\/a><\/p>\n

Syrian wheat production will witness a major 30% drop in 2008<\/a>. It seems that Egypt and Jordan will face more political problems this year as they had been relying on imports of Syrian wheat with preferential rates for years. The angry and hungry Egyptians seem to have reached the tipping point<\/a><\/p>\n

A decades-late anti-monopoly law is finally issued in Syria:
President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday issued Law No. 7 on Competition and Prevention of Monopoly<\/a>: Assistant Minister of Economy and Trade, Ghassan Eid, indicated that the law will meet the urgent need for competition control in the light of transition to the Social Market Economy which will gradually lead to liberation of the prices, allowing a growing role for the private sector in the current comprehensive economic development in Syria. He also indicated that the new law will also meet the urgent need to ensure the prices actual subjugation to free equal competition which is unaffected by market forces monopoly practices that may harm the economy and consumer at the same time. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In spite of US sanctions, General Motors sees growing activity in Syria<\/strong>
31 March 2008<\/span> (from The Syria Report<\/a>) <\/p>\n

\n

How do you manage to sell GM cars in Syria, which is under US sanctions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of our sales transactions comply with US sanctions and the Syrian Accountability Act. The General Motors vehicles that we sell in Syria are manufactured outside the US. GM has plants all around the world and we source the cars from Australia, Brazil, Korea, Sweden, China, etc. The Cadillac BLS, for instance, is produced in Sweden.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

GM has plants all around the world and we source the cars from Australia, Brazil, Korea, Sweden, China, etc. The Cadillac BLS, for instance, is produced in Sweden.<\/span> <\/span> <\/p>\n

How many models are you selling?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently we offer 4 different types of vehicles but we are adding one new model every year. We have just been appointed agents for GMC, one of the GM Group brands, and we will be introducing this year the GMC Terrain, a compact SUV produced in South Korea.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

So the sanctions are not really an issue for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course they are. We are working closely with GM’s management to continue to execute operations in Syria, while at the same time remaining within the limits set by the Syrian Accountability Act; however working in Syria currently is a real challenge. To give you a very practical example, we can’t even ship service manuals for our cars because of the sanctions. We hope the SAA can be lifted after when the Executive order expires this May 2008. The sanctions are not simply an issue for individual entities marketing US products, but the sanctions are hurting the US economy as well. General Motors is a highly valued brand; we are number three in the market even with the limitations imposed by the US government. GM could be number one in the Syrian market but, now the US brands are losing market-share rapidly due to the foreign manufacturers mainly, Chinese manufacturers, capturing lost opportunity for GM and additional US manufactured brands.  The Middle East is GM’s second most profitable region in the world, and the third fastest growing region globally for GM brands.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Mandaean Diaspora in Damascus<\/a>
Thara Magazine online, Damascus<\/p>\n

In a field outside Damascus, a large gathering is taking place. In the center, eight men swathed in white cloth with full grey-white beards stand in rows and recite verses from a strange script in thick hand-written books. <\/span>In front of them, smoke curls up from small wooden fires, and olive branches are scattered around. It looks like a scene from the Old Testament- the robes, the sacraments, and the low murmur of an unfamiliar language. Around them though, the mood is much less somber. Children chase each other around while glamorous women in Gucci sunglasses share drinks and gossip. Elsewhere, teenagers beat rhythms on tablas and sing along while families picnic on checkered blankets. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the weekly meeting of the Mandaeans, an ancient sect from the south of Iraq and Iran, also known as Sabeans. There are around 7,000 Mandaeans living in Damascus now, all refugees from the war in Iraq. As a small religious minority, they have been particularly vulnerable to violence, and have suffered acutely from the rise of sectarianism and religious extremism. Many have been tortured, raped, killed or subject to forced conversions because of their faith. The exodus from Iraq has increased as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated- it is thought that the Mandaeans in exile now outnumber those remaining in their ancestral homelands…..
