Another coincidence, don’t you think?

That this had to happen now and that again, there’s Chinese involvement with Mugabe and support by them for him to remain in power.

Thank you for your question.

This prompted an update search. One should indeed have a closer look at China’s involvement with Mugabe:

I have questions now as to who in the Malta Labour Government facilitated this movement of funds. Whether it was China-linked, whether all three angles were linked to John Dalli’s Bahamas trip – he would have been there when Mugabe was tightening the noose over the Opposition in preparation for the elections a year ahead to July 2013, etc.

Yes.

No. In a nutshell, it is EU membership without all the obligations.

Also, would you stop repeating that nonsense conspiracy theory about oil?

Do you mean his “personal BLOOD diamond account money”?

Good point. China is only after natural resources.

But what are its real interests and intentions in the case of resource-strapped Malta? Is it oil, which successive Maltese governments have overlooked?

‘..Addressing parliament on the budget vote for home affairs, Mallia said it had been his responsibility to visit the Corradino Correctional Facility, “contrary to my predecessor who, in five years, never set foot at the prisons”.

He said this inspection had revealed that punch clocks and CCTV didn’t work and guard dogs who were “pets”….’

Santino Taghna Lkoll.

‘A decision taken in the national strategic interest.’

Manuel said it’s not in the national interest that we know who gets to be Maltese.

And he solemnly declared he’s determined to do his job.

I take it we should get the hint and back down then.

Ciccio, I have heard that Mugabe’s secret personal diamond account money is now, under this Labour Government, passing through Malta.

Meanwhile, it seems that Joseph Muscat’s MOU with China included a line so that China pays for Malta’s TV rights for the next three editions of the World Cup.
