Political Unrest – 18.03.2011 – Dukascopy Press Review
Video Rating: 0 / 5

A train carrying Tunisian migrants from Italy has been halted at the French border in an escalation of the dispute over the fate of North African migrants fleeing political unrest. While many European countries are supporting regime change in the Arab world, it seems the resulting migrants fleeing the North African turmoil are not welcome there. France is preventing trains carrying migrants crossing into the country. The Italian Interior Minister says France’s stance is incomprehensible and unjustified. Roberto Maroni, Italian Interior Minister, said, “We are in compliance with the European agreement on freedom of travel. We have given them travel documents and residence permits, all of which are recognized by the European Commission. Therefore freedom of travel is possible for all those who have a residence permit and want to go to France.” But France does not think so. It says it will honor the permits only if the migrants prove they can financially support themselves. Lydia Schenardi, Secretary of National Front, said, “We understand what Italy is doing. But Italy is providing European visas to get rid of the migrants in their own country. The migrants will come to France and other European countries.

Brent crude oil prices surge because of political unrest CCTV News
Political unrest is adding pressure to world oil prices, as Brent oil surged to a near 2.5 year high on Wednesday. After reaching as high as 104 US dollars and 52 cents a barrel, Brent crude closed at more than 103 US dollars per barrel, its highest close since September 2008. US crude settled up 67 cents at just under 85 dollars, rising after three days of losses. Analysts say the spike is because oil markets are already skittish about clashes in Iran. And unrest in Yemen, Bahrain and Libya are compounding fears that the kind of turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia could spread to oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and disrupt oil flow in the region.
