Turkey is back in the spotlight this week, and Erdogan is at it again. This time, he’s gotten rid of five more opponents as he rather brazenly and publicly picks off his rivals one by one (or in this case, five by five). On Thursday, Erdogan fired five district mayors from the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), allegedly for corruption. That move is intended to shore up his previous move in March to arrest Istanbul’s Mayor, Ekrem ?mamo?lu, his most dangerous political rival, on alleged financial crimes charges. That single…

So far this year, U.S. crude has accounted for a third of the purchases of the Dangote refinery, according to vessel-tracking…
