Luxembourg Pledges to Liberia’s Airport Security

Read this quote in the Daily Observer, Monrovia: 


"The Deputy Prime Minister of the Duchy of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn, has pledged his country’s commitment to helping with the training of Liberian airport security personnel."


In fact Luxembourg is buying votes in Monrovia and Conakry for a silly ambition to get elected member of the UN Security Council. As if it mattered to anyone else as to a couple of zealous diplomats.


Here is the quid pro quo:


"Diplomatic sources told our reporter on Capitol Hill Tuesday that the Duchy of Luxembourg is seeking support from African countries to back its bid for a position on the UN Security Council."


Sad and embarrassing for a country that used to follow principled policies. But hey, we just borrowed Euros 1 billion. We can buy all the votes we need!


World! Vote for Australia!
