The illicit oil trade that is keeping Libya divided - fascinating longread from the FT's Shotaro Tani and @hebamks with help from the team at @TheSentry_Org https://t.co/LiFOJ0xAMC

More clips from yesterday's Kabila press conference here. He says the problem is Congo is president Tshisekedi and the solution in Congo is president Tshisekedi. As to what that means....?

Fascinating to see Kabila step out of the shadows and hear him speak. I don’t remember him doing a press conference like this for years. Certainly not since he stepped down in 2018, and even before that he’d mostly stopped doing these after the 2011 elections.

RT @mtindera07: This week’s episode of Behind the Money from the @FT chronicles an eye-opening investigation from my colleague @thomas_m_wi…

We turned my shadow fleet investigation from last year into a Behind the Money podcast presented by the excellent @mtindera07 with special guest star @YorukIsik If you're interested in the 400+ tankers moving $250mn barrels of oil a day this is for you https://t.co/QjigyuP4Rz

No more OPEC+ rollovers, at least for now: Saudi and the 7 other voluntary-cutters will increase production by ~120k b/d each month from April as they unwind 2.2mn b/d of cuts over next 18 months Oil dropped, but not much considering (down about 2%) 🤷 https://t.co/bSIF9GRJpH

Europe’s only sanctioned oil trader has appealed citing ‘disinformation’ spread by former partner, G. The EU evidence file contains publicly available clippings & G’s lawyers did share info with officials. Fascinating insight into how sanctions are decided https://t.co/0AEjwyeGPM

Smart deal for Ukraine if it paves way for a long term US security agreement - what Zelensky must know is despite Trump’s claims Ukraine doesn’t have significant untapped mining potential so paying 50% of future proceeds should mean paying nothing… https://t.co/4fIiQOTYK0

The shift from 2020 - when BP pledged to cut oil and gas output by 40% to align with goals of the Paris agreement - is dizzying. The market has clearly told BP this was a mistake. Auchincloss now fighting to prove to Elliott & others that he has a new plan https://t.co/R5Vp6EVnhj

Javier Blas nailing the nonsensical Trump suggestion (which many are taking seriously) that Ukraine has hundreds of billions of dollars of untapped mineral potential If it did we can be certain Soviet miners and then the west's mining majors would have started digging decades ago

COLUMN: What Ukraine has is scorched earth; what it doesn’t have is rare earths. Surprisingly, many people — not least, US President Trump — seem convinced the country has a rich mineral endowment. It’s a folly. [FREE TO READ] @Opinion #Ukraine 🧵1/12 https://t.co/ZhmMEuUt0e

SCOOP: Elliott's stake in BP is HUGE - £3.8bn, just shy of 5 per cent, making it third largest behind Blackrock (9%) and Vanguard (5%). And it's in for the long haul (years not months) and seeking major changes - cuts to green spending and big divestments https://t.co/fY1fiXli8B

Great to be shortlisted for specialist journalist of the year at @PressAwardsuk for this investigation into Russia's shadow fleet and the role of a British accountant, a London broker and a Dubai-based shipping magnate in the acquisition of a $700mn fleet https://t.co/TCLOYROl7Y
