#6  UAE and Africa's gold

Thank you, Skidmark!

But I thought Libya’s gold was going to Turkey in exchange for what turned out to be worthless Syrian “mercenaries” (demobbed former ISIS and Turkmen Muslim Brotherhood jihadis, mostly) whom the Turks neglected to pay — or feed — once they were settled in up north. What are they giving it to the UAE for?

#1  The Russians are pikers. It is the United Arab Emirates that is really involved in the movement of African gold.
