Twilight Time or New Dawn

By now many have seen the Rotterdam/Luxembourg dispatch.

"with the conclusion of the review of the iron ore mining agreement, the Government and Arcelor Mittal will be partners in jumpstarting the economic recovery and development for Liberia."

As it has been all along the release gave few details.... "but Pres. Johnson-Sirleaf is aparently happy, "With this agreement, which is consistent with the principles that attract and sustain foreign investment in Liberia, it is clear to the international private sector that Liberia is open for business."

OK, let's go with it... Now that the Mittel Steel Deal is signed, sealed and delivered. Let's make the best of it. God bless Liberia, green be her fame! (And, reform the mining laws now, holding Mittal accountable, if you please!)
