Sorry for commenting on something different from the main of this post:

Nicholas is simply inaccurate, not to say lying when he is talking about his achievements …

Here is the ITU ranking for 2012. Where do we see lebanon in 1st place ?
It is stated that “Lebanon has an IDI value of 5.37, and ranks 52nd in the
IDI 2012. It is the country with the highest increase in IDI
value of 0.75 points”.

This doesn’t put us in the first place. This is misleading and he is fooling us.
Check Table 2.14, page 60. Lebanon is ranked at the fifth place, in the arab countries. It is nb 52 in total.

Having the highest increase in IDI doesn’t make us the first. I hate when these politician fool us. We are not stupid.
Here is the report:
