October 17, 2007 Latin Business Chronicle - Ecuador Oil: More Trouble Ahead

Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa, inspired by policies in Venezuela, is aggressively attacking foreign oil companies in a gamble that likely will lead to further falls in oil output from Latin America's fifth-largest oil producing country...

... The new policies will also lead to more formal disputes, risk consultancy Exclusive Analysis warns.  "President Correa's moves to increase state control over the oil industry will likely lead to more litigation with multinationals," Exclusive Analysis said in a commentary late last week.'more
September 11, 2007 Homeland Security Watch - Where Are We Six Years After 9/11?

"I've noted the work of a London-based group here before called Exclusive Analysis. They are kind enough to send me their proprietary products and I'm, as they say over there, keen on sharing it here on occassion. They recently assessed the terrorist threat in light of the foiled Germany plot....

...according to this, we're lucky that the terrorists are unlucky - or at least unsophisticated."

August 10, 2007 Bloomberg - Sierra Leone Likely to Go to Second Round

"Sierra Leone's first presidential elections tomorrow since United Nations troops left the country following the end of an 11-year civil war, will probably go to a second round as anger mounts over unemployment in a country where only about one in three have work. Solomon Berewa, 69, the current vice president, will go through `'because the ruling party has a much more efficient party structure and wider popularity,'' said O.B. Sisay, deputy head of the Africa division at London-based Exclusive Analysis. Still, `'there is enough disappointment with the ruling party to help another candidate reach a second round run-off.' ...

...Presidential elections followed the end of the war in May 2002, in which there was very little political opposition to Kabbah's ruling party. 'This is the first election where there is a real battle for political space,' Sisay said. ``This is the first real test of democracy and of the country's independent institutions.' ... "

Reuters - Darfur scares European Investors off Sudan's Oil

"Sudan has strong potential for oil exploration and expansion but big European players will be reluctant to invest for fear of pressure from groups advocating divestment because of violence in its Darfur region... ..

.'The European players would be worried about reputational risks,' said O.B. Sisay, Deputy Head of Africa at Exclusive Analysis.

The Sudan Divestment Taskforce has pressed U.S. universities and even large funds and financial institutions to divest from companies with interests in Sudan, in what activists say is the largest movement since the anti-apartheid campaign.

Sisay said the Darfur war activists were influential.

'The pressure groups could create serious risks for the companies...which leaves a lot of space for Chinese companies.' ..."
