For the records Ghanem never defected at all, he left former regime's government and made a press conference in Rome to announce his departure but again never ever defected. I was closely monitoring his activities. Secondly, do you know how many nationalities he had, let alone his daughters and sons-in-law who used to work at Austrian, Germany, Italian companies???!!

Libya's oil could leave the country on a slippery slope

Apr 11 , 2012 | 11:13AM GST

Libyans revolted against Gaddafi and his regime to remain united and will never seek separation. If a group of people decided the opposite. This would clearly not mean the rest of the country to follow. Besides we all know that the oil and gas belong to all Libyans and will stay the same for years. I can assure you that the talk of separation will slowly disappear and the country will bounce back and move forward. SOC Libya Ltd
