#SwissLeaks: Lebanon Is #11 and #12 In Countries With The Most Money In Swiss Banks

A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares

We often hear that the Lebanese diaspora has a lot of money and is quite well off. That is the impression that we leave abroad. When I was in France, the stereotype that many seem to attribute with Lebanese is being rich. As my grandma would say: a reputation of richness is better than that of poverty.

But how rich are the Lebanese abroad? How much money do they have in foreign banks? Well, how about we discover the situation in the banking capital of the world: Switzerland. After all, aren’t we the Switzerland of the Middle East?

On August 28th, Ali Al-Sayyed was beheaded, becoming the first public Lebanese victim of ISIS. His video did not cause the outrage – even in Lebanon – that the death of James Foley caused. Nowadays, if you drop the name Ali Al-Sayyed in a casual conversation, few would…

Boris Johnson to have talks with Hillary Clinton as London Mayor’s roadshow hits the US – Americas – World – The Independent

No boffos just barfing and borrish Boris!

 

The first part of the tour – which begins in Boston before heading to New York and Washington – could be hit by bad weather. The Boston authorities are advising people to stay at home because of the threat of a severe snow storm.

Last month Mr Johnson flew to meet the Kurdish Prime Minister. He was pictured taking aim with an AK47 alongside Peshmerga soldiers fighting against Isis. Critics in the London Assembly claim he has “mentally checked out” of his mayoral role.
