In Zayed Military City, in a training camp in a desert area of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a secret army is in the making.
This secret army of mercenaries, which is slated to be used not only in the Emirates but throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Whatever the scenario will be - either a "balkanized" Libya divided into two territories under the control of Tripoli and Benghazi, or a situation of similar to Iraq or Afghanistan, geared towards overthrowing of the Libyan government -

PMCs are a troubling development in the modern political, economic and social climates. They are NOT some global military or police force.

This has already happened.
Remember the pro-Gaddafi mercenaries that were going around Libya shooting and raping unarmed civilians? Still think Gaddafi hired those foreign mercenaries to terrorize his citizens?
Anyone still think the situation in Libya is legit?
Libya, who up until Feb of this year had reams of Western Oil companies in there already, is now under attack by a Anglo-French led operation so that US oil comapnies can get sole access? That makes no sense whatsoever.
You do realise the US is hardly doing anything with regards to Libya, don't you? Most of the Aircraft being used are European, with some Canadian and Qatari forces.
To my knowledge, no US warplanes are currently being utilised and only a single US Destroyer is present in the region. Seems like an awful lot of effort for the French and British to go to so they can hand over control of Oil fields that their companies ran to US comapnies.....
See where your logic fails?

It's not a secret within the PMC world. Eric Prince (Former head of Blackwater) is the man tasked to head this project. It is mainly a private force that will be used by UAE leaders to quash revolts within their borders.
