#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

PM Abiy smiles when asked how the liberalization of the Airlines and Electric Corporation would provide better services to the #Ethiopia|n public. He says, “we are in debt, we have to pay back but we can’t. And secondarily, we aren’t able to finish projects we have started."

#Ethiopia: Live "The target is to create a market-led capitalist system. The private sector is crucial to help us develop this capitalist system. This is because the private sector is better at being profitable than the government.”
PM Abiy

On the airlines:“African leaders want one airlines for the whole continent. This was one of the points of the economic integration. Following this, EAL has bought Malawi’s half airlines, and also Zambia’s AL, and also of Chad’s and Guinea, Togo. We will be buying more shares."
