The Washington Patriot: FINAL ISSUE OF 2010: THIBAW IN REVIEW

Energy

Wordsworth Energy has made significant progress and is working with several NGO’s to promote human rights in Thibaw and is calling out to the international community for support. A number of NGO’s are disappointed by the lack of international support they have received thus far and will be campaigning for additional assistance and compassion for the people of Thibaw. Wordsworth supports UK involvement combating human rights violations, drug trafficking, and other issues in the Thibawan region.

The Patriot has heard that Wordsworth is investigating the allegations against Beowulf, but we have had no solid conclusions from that investigation to date.

Anti-oil NGO Verdant Future is concerned that money from IOC’s in Thibaw is being funneled by the government toward illegal destruction of the teak forests and forced labor camps for Thibawan citizens. They believe these activities directly benefit Lt General Sang Maw. The government refused to directly comment on this.

During the Thibawan government press conference it was announced that EnCathay would finance 51% of a joint venture with the Thibawan government for blocks 31 and 33. The government will take 51% of the profits in this project, which will be focused on supplying gas to the US.

Talks with Shiloh have ended and Shiloh will be pulling their operations out of Thibaw.

No decision has been made yet on block 45.


OBI has come out with their latest ratings, which are as follows:

Government: F
Social: B+
Wordsworth: B
EnCathay: C
Shiloh: A-

The government has shown no improvement in change or transparency. Wordsworth has made significant progress with NGO’s, EnCathay has surprisingly opened dialogue, and Shiloh has increased transparency.

The Mentor News: Destruction and Desolation in Thibaw

An anonymous source informed The Mentor of hunger, destruction, and devastation at a village in Thibaw. The source says, “The village is no longer there. The villages have been destroyed. Why did this happen? Why are these men, women, and children living on roads? The government told us they provide for their own, but I am not seeing evidence of this.” The source, who risks her life to convey this news, is concerned with the lack of attention from the government in Thibaw and pleads for international attention to this devastation.

The Mentor News: Wordsworth Energy Pleads for Help To the World Community

Iara Palacios of Wordsworth Energy informed The Mentor that the company, along with a global coalition of NGOs, is “pleading for help to the United Nations, US, UK, and other world governments to investigate the international property rights violations currently taking place in Thibaw.”

Tanyan Village Update

We are confused by the government. They did not help us at all and we are still waiting for their promises of aid as our people are starving. We thank Wordsworth and Nurture for helping our people.
Please help us

Nurture Press Release

We are disappointed that the Government has stalled talks and hope that Thibaw would provide information to the international community as to the status of its negotiations and its commitment to honoring international property rights.

Wordsworth Energy Update

Wordsworth Energy firmly supports the help of all international organizations to help protect its sovereignty in Block 45 in Northeast Thibaw. It denounces these acts of terrorism by the government of Thibaw, the state-owned Chinese oil company Encathcay, and surprisingly, the American oil company, Shiloh.

XinHua State News Agency:

The Chinese army has advanced 60,000 troupes to the Southern border as result of deteriorating stability in Thibaw. After the reported demise of Prime Minister, it is suspected that relationship between the Thibawan Govt. and Chinese Govt. has gone even worse.
