Italy agreed to pay US$5 billion to Lybia as reparations for colonization.
I don’t believe in this kind of “cooperation”… It’s more a “paternalist attitude”. Italians know that Lybia has enormous resources. They will pay Lybia $5 billion… and get twice, maybe triple, their “investment”. Why do you think that Italians are going to give Lybia [...]
