Sahit Muja: Clinton condemns UN, Russia, China as Assad's massacres in Syria rise
  US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed outrage on Friday over reports of a Syrian government assault in the rebellious Hama region and urged the UN Security Council to make clear to Damascus that there would be consequences.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urges Hama ceasefire, says perpetrators of Taramseh massacre "will be identified and held accountable," condemns UNSC, Russia, China, for foot dragging.

New reports Friday informed that Syrian army rained shells on a poor, farming village leaving scores of people dead in what rebels claim is one of the worst single days of bloodshed in the uprising against President Bashar Assad's regime.

About 220 people are reported to have been killed in the Syrian village of Tremseh, in Hama province yesterday. About17 thousand of innocent men, women and children have been ruthlessly murdered by mass-murderer Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Opposition activists said "The village was attacked with helicopter gunships and tanks".The Assad regime has used field artillery on any number of Syrian cities.

The regime has violated the laws of war again and again. A regime that shows no concern whatsoever for civilian casualties is exactly the kind that would not hesitate to use WMD, like chemical warfare. A statement by the Hama Revolutionary Council said:

"They died from bombardment by tanks and helicopters, artillery shelling and summary executions." Today's incident is the worst of its kind in the rebellion against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad that began 16 months ago".

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has had a free reign massacring his own people for the past 16 months, while UN, China, Russia, Iran conveniently turned a blind eye to his atrocities.
Amazing to see the callous disregard for life among UN, Iran, China and Russia. The population of Syria has been held hostage to Iran, China and Russia's political games.

Assad is personally responsible for the murder thousand of his own citizens.
Assad will not escape the justice and His regime is going to fall.

Russian Navy to show force against NATO and U.S in Syria

Sahit Muja: Russian Navy to show force against NATO and U.S in Syria.
Russian Navy ships entered the Mediterranean toward a Russian Navy base at Tartus, Syria. The Russian ships are advance units of a flotilla of 11 warships .

Russian Navy base has one destroyer, five amphibious landing ships, two patrol frigates, two rescue tugs, and one tanker. Several ships carry units of Russian Marines.
It's  the largest display of Russian naval power in the Mediterranean since the collapse of the Soviet Union .

Russian television is broadcasting images of warship after warship steaming out of bases in the Arctic, Baltic and Black.  NATO and USA  are the most powerful militaries the world has ever known. Russia  has  suported Milosevic, Saddam Hussein,  Gaddafi and now Assad.

More than 17200 people have been killed as  Russa claims to have a agreement with mass murderer Bashar al-Assad.Thousands of innocent men, women and children have been ruthlessly murdered by mass-murderer Bashar al-Assad’s regime.Russia has put itself on the wrong side again by supporting  mass murderer Bashar al-Assad.

The mass slaughter and chaos of the First World War, and the revolutionary upheavals that swept Europe in 1917-1918, brought an end  dynasty in Russia, but to an entire continental social order.

The murder of the last emperor of a dynasty that had ruled Russia for three centuries not only symbolically presaged the Communist mass slaughter that would claim so many Russian lives in the decades that followed, but was symbolic of the Communist effort to kill the soul and spirit of Russia itself.

Is Vladimir Putin working to return Russia to its glory days under Josef Stalin? I hope not this will cause disaster for Russian people. My advice to Russian Leader is to  stop supporting mass murderers.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with the  Syrian opposition group.
After the meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister, leaders of the Syrian National Council  "Let us be honest," Burhan Ghalioun, a member of the Council Executive Committee told reporters. "We must not hide from the truth. Without

Russia's political, cultural, moral and military support, the Syrian regime would not have been able to continue its policy targeted against the Syrian people."

He noted that Russia has twice used its veto in the United Nations Security Council to kill measures that would have pressured Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "The Syrian people can't understand Russian politics," he said. "How can our friends continue to hand over weapons to that regime, how can they veto in the Security Council.

Russian government said it  has a crystal clear position "It means that Russia does not want to support changes of the Syrian president, and Russia doesn't support any kind of military operation like it was in Libya".

Top ferrochrome producers ENRC received a $2 billion loan by Sberbank of Russia

 Sahit Muja: Top ferrochrome producers ENRC received a $2 billion loan by Sberbank of Russia

Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation announces the signing of a $2 billion loan provided by Sberbank of Russia, has a 5 year term with amortisation
commencing after 24 months.

The new funds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the financing of recent acquisitions and the Group’s extensive CAPEX programme.
Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation is one of the world’s largest ferrochrome producers, supplying the market with a range of high-grade chromium alloy.
Its primary product is high-carbon ferrochrome, with a chrome content of 68%.  Also produces rutile, zircon and ilmenite concentrates.

ENRC is a leading diversified natural resources group, performing integrated mining, processing,energy, logistics and marketing operations. The operations comprise: the mining and processing of
chrome, manganese and iron ore; the smelting of ferroalloys; the production of iron ore concentrate and pellet; the mining and processing of bauxite for the extraction of alumina and the production of
aluminium; the production of copper and cobalt; coal extraction and electricity generation; and the
transportation and sales of the Group's products.

Global ferrochrome production is falling  due to reduced operating capacity, higher energy costs and labor problems.

Ferrochrome producers worldwide settled benchmark price at USD 1.15 to USD 120 per pound.
Albanian Minerals and Bytyci SHPK, Tropoje, Albania expects that steel ingredient ferrochrome will test high prices in 2012 as production fails to keep pace with a jump in global demand for steel.
The current stockpiles of ferrochrome in China, Europe, U.S, Japan, and Russia are too low to fill the gap.

Demand for ferrochrome, which is used in stainless steel to prevent corrosion, is recovering after jump in demand for steel.
Albanian Minerals expects ferrochrome prices to trade higher in 2012 on upward demand from rising growth in stainless steel production.
Also restricted supply of electricity in South Africa and China has resulted in the postponement of a number of planned ferrochrome projects over the next five years.

Iraq aims to surpass world's top oil producers Russia and Saudi Arabia

 Sahit Muja: Iraq aims to surpass world's top oil producers Russia and Saudi Arabia

Iraq is working to have an oil output of 12 million barrels per day.

Iraq is expected to increase crude oil production by 28% this year. Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad says that Iraq plans to produce 3.4 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2012, a 28% increase from 2011.

Iraq's oil production was 2.650 million barrels per day in 2011.

Iraq is also planning to export 2.6 mbpd oil in the current year. Iraq's oil exports had averaged 2.165 mbpd in 2011.

Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said that “Iraq is on its way to reaching a production capacity of 12 million barrels of crude oil a day but will not necessarily produce these quantities”

Oil output from Russia, the world's biggest producer, hit a record high in 2012 from higher pumping rates at Rosneft and Gazprom.

Oil production growth in Russia hit a post-Soviet record monthly high of 10.36 million barrels per day (mbpd) in January, acording to Russian Energy Ministry.

The world’s second oil producer Saudi Arabia could increase oil production by about 2 million barrels per day in 2012 .

Saudi Arabia currently produces 10 million million barrels of crude oil a day.

China's influence in Russia's far east is growing rapidly

 Sahit Muja; Russia, Far East

Sahitb Muja: China's influence in Russia's far east is growing rapidly
Russia has among the highest abortion rates in the world, a major contributor to a worrying population decline that the Kremlin is under enormous pressure to stop.
Decline of Russia’s population is having its most dramatic impact in Far East.

Russian Far East region that was always largely devoid of human beings is losing its inhabitants.
Only 6.5 million people live in the Far East region, far less than the population of NYC, and 14 per cent fewer than in the late 1980s.

Population is scattered across a homeland so vast that it almost defies comprehension. Add together Britain, France and Germany and then multiply their combined areas by five and they would still be smaller than the Russian Far East.

Moreover, more than a third of the area’s last inhabitants are concentrated in only nine towns. The vast tracts between these isolated population center’s are empty. And even in the towns, the population is falling:

Russian Far East is forecast to have only 4.5 million people by 2015.
In China the other side of the border, the picture is different.

China’s total population of 1.3 billion, at least 100 million inhabit the three provinces of Manchuria, directly adjacent to Russia.
This means that Manchuria already has a population density 62 times greater than the Russian Far East.

This vast disparity between the neighbor’s, unmatched anywhere else in the world, can only grow in the years ahead. This would probably create tension even without another crucial factor.
China has an insatiable appetite for the world’s natural resources to sustain an economic boom that powers ahead despite the global downturn.

The quest for raw materials is the central goal of the country’s foreign policy.
And virtually every natural resource imaginable is found just over the border.
Russian Far East have large reserves of natural gas, oil, diamonds and gold, while millions of square miles of birch and pine provide supplies of timber.

China densely packed country trying to keep its economy roaring ahead by laying its hands on natural resources, living alongside a largely empty region with huge mineral wealth and fewer inhabitants year on year.

Russia and China might operate a tactical alliance, but there is already tension between them over the Far East.
Moscow is wary of large numbers of Chinese settlers moving into this region, bringing timber and mining companies in their wake.
After the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, Moscow lost much of its control over Russia’s most remote regions.

Russia is one of the top destination to invest in the world thank’s to China’s booming economy



  Sahit Muja: Russia

   Russia is one of the top destination to invest in the world thank’s to China’s booming economy
Russia presents the golden opportunity to invest as demand for energy, minerals, agricultural products are increasing in China.
Albanian Minerals is investing in China and Russia presently and is looking to expend investment’s in Russia.
Russia is the largest country in the world;

Russia is one of the world’s richest countries in raw materials, many of which are significant inputs for an industrial economy.

Russia accounts for around 20 percent of the world’s production of oil and natural gas and possesses large reserves of both fuels.
Russia virtually  is self-sufficient in energy and  has  the large-scale exporter of fuels.
Russia possesses rich reserves minerals, iron ore, manganese, coal, chromium, nickel, platinum, titanium, copper, tin, lead, tungsten, diamonds, phosphates, and gold.
Russian forests of Siberia contain an estimated one-fifth of the world’s timber.
The iron ore deposits of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, close to the Ukrainian border in the southwest, are believed to contain one-sixth of the world’s total reserves.

Intensive exploitation began there in the 1950s.
The large iron ore deposits are located in the Kola Peninsula, Karelia, south-central Siberia, and the Far East.
The largest copper deposits are located in the Kola Peninsula and the Urals, and lead and zinc are found in North Ossetia.
Russia is one of the top destination to invest in the world thank’s to China’s booming economy.
The Chinese foreign reserves rose to $3.2 trillion. The increase was much larger than economists expected.
With the reserves of $3.2 trillion China has an advantage to invest largely in energy, metals, and other natural resources.
China has increased c access to oil, natural gas, minerals, all other commodities, and raw materials worldwide.
Chinese power has increased considerably in economy, military, geopolitical, trade and financial affairs.

China is indeed one of the world’s greatest power.
China’s economic growth is about 10 percent in 2011.
China bought record volumes of oil, natural gas, coal, copper, aluminum, gold, ferrochrome, chrome ore and iron ore this year.

The world’s fastest-growing major economy consumes more than a third of the world’s aluminum output, a quarter of its copper production, a tenth of its oil and accounts for more than half of the trading in iron ore.
China is the world’s largest producer of steel and world’s larges consumer of copper, iron ore, aluminum, ferrochrome, chrome ore and nickel.

This year China bought hundreds of billions of dollars worth of iron ore, refined copper, crude oil, aluminum, chrome ore, coal, ferro chrome, and other commodities.
China has launched its investment policy because of rising demand, economic growth and crippling pressure on its own natural resources.

China is hungry for land, food, energy, and all other natural resources.
Hundreds of billions of dollars are invested presently by China in natural resources in Africa, Australia, Iran, Brazil, Russia, Iraq, Europe, Canada, East Asia, and The US.
