An investigation by Phil Miller reveals that Britain’s largest intelligence agency, the GCHQ, has intelligence bases in Oman and is refusing to publish the details. GCHQ is believed to operate three surveillance sites in Oman. Declassified is publishing pictures of what appears to be a GCHQ site in Oman for the first time. The is site Codenamed CLARINET and on satellite imagery appears to be located near the border with Yemen. Photos taken reveal its ‘golf ball’, satellite dish, radio masts and unmarked entrance. 

The GCHQ has refused  to confirm whether its facilities in Oman have been used to help the Sultan spy on his domestic opponents. But it admits: “We share our own expertise and intelligence to better equip our international partners to combat threats in their regions.”

THE PANAMA PAPERS | CAPITALISM AND CORRUPTION

THE PANAMA PAPERS | CAPITALISM AND CORRUPTION Four years after the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist and blogger who led the investigation of the #PanamaPapers leak in Malta, a new inquiry has concluded that the state should “shoulder responsibility for her death”. The 437-page report does not directly blame the Maltese state for the orchestration of her murder, but it deems that an atmosphere of impunity was generated by the highest echelons of the government. This comes after a period of increasing instability in the country, which has been engulfed in corruption scandals, enormous levels of inequality, and utter incompetence in dealing with an increasingly dire refugee crisis. Throughout her time as an investigative journalist, Caruana uncovered countless corruption schemes involving the country’s elites.

African leaders must help continent, not sell it off The struggle for Africa’s independence from its colonial rulers has always been centred on land and the natural resources beneath. For decades its resources were looted by these imperialist masters. Gold, oil and diamonds are some of the resources still extracted from Africa by multinational companies without its people benefiting from them. African countries remain poor as if they are not major producers of these jewels. Today, water and land are valuable resources that are being sold and leased to multinational companies by African governments and this leaves our people without land to farm and less water available for their agricultural projects. The disturbing trend is that African governments do too little to empower African farmers. The ongoing scramble, that of partitioning African land into commodities for foreign companies is a new form of colonialism. The modus operandi of these companies is to lease huge stretc...
