7:18 am
with a single voice operationally rini was which is not rationed to monitor the arms embargo was a well meaning initiative but since it only monitors sea transport and not air transport it is really only monitoring turkey's potential violations of the un been arms involved of not violations of violations which are flown in by the emirates on gypsies or the russians in particular from the u.a.e. there were multiple reports earlier this year of as many as 100 flights from the emirates to eastern libya and to western egypt flying in all sorts of military equipment and we don't know the quantities that have been shipped in from turkey but libya is already awash with weapons those weapons have actually brought about a military stalemate around the city of sirte what we really need now is
