The Zintan Rebels Strike Back

For some strange reason, I think everyone I know should have to memorize the names of the Libyan cabinet ministers who have been announced today. Attention young ladies out there—you never know when you might be on a date and have the opportunity to land a contract by playing footsie with the new NTC minister for Industry Mohammad Mahmud al-Ftise, or be at a cocktail party and be asked if—based on name alone—you would be more likely to trust the current NTC deputy finance minister Mrajaa Mgeg or the defected Gaddafian Foreign affairs minister Musa Kusa. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that the 21st century man or woman about town trying to make it in a consulting business has to keep in mind. To that effect, I want to share with you all my first ever humourous op-ed article in today’s The Australian.But before I include my article below, I wanted to share with you my most serious and hard-hitting article about the capture of Saif Gaddafi and what it all means for Libya.But now onto the fun... I wanted it to be titled The Zintan Rebels Strike Back but they changed it! Pls open the PDF to see the article in colour.
