U.S. Position on IFC’s Investment in Egypt’s Orascom Group Project

July 28, 2011

The United States welcomes this proposed investment in Orascom Construction Industries and 

the positive signal it sends to the Egyptian market. The United States hopes this will encourage 

additional commercial investment in Egypt during this period, which, along with policies 

supporting commercial enterprise, will contribute to the economic momentum created by

investments like this one.

Retaining and creating jobs should be a priority for IFC investment in Egypt and the

MENA region, and the United States recognizes that this investment will help preserve 75,000

jobs in Egypt and add more than 2,000 jobs in Algeria. The United States hopes the investment 

will generate future jobs in Egypt under the business’ restructured debt and improved cash

flow.

IFC investments in the region should also leverage other financing, and the United States is 

pleased that IFC is helping to syndicate an extra $200 million from other commercial

banks. In terms of leverage, the United States also appreciates that, with this investment, OCI

management has committed to revise its existing health, safety, and environment

management practices to comply with IFC Environmental and Social Performance

Standards, and that this commitment is reflected in the project indicators.

Lastly, the United States wants to emphasize that this investment will strengthen a key business 

contributing to increased agricultural productivity at an opportune time. The United States notes
that OCI’s fertilizer business may increase future exports to Africa and Asia and, recognizing the 

need for access to lower cost agricultural inputs in Sub-Saharan Africa, encourages IFC to 

explore how OCI can more rapidly expand fertilizer distribution to Sub-Saharan Africa and, in 

particular, to small holder farmers.

The United States wishes to be recorded as abstaining for legislatively mandated reasons because 

the results of the social and environmental assessment should have been made available to the 

public sooner to allow adequate time for full and transparent public discussion by Egyptian

citizens and citizen groups prior to this Board discussion.

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. W e review for substantial evidence the

agency’s factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility

determinations under the REAL ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder , 590 F.3d 1034, 1039

- 40 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination

based on an omission in Nkemnkeng’s credible fear interview and inconsistencies

between his testimony and visa application. See id . at 1048 (adverse credibility

determination reasonable under “the totality of circumstances”). Nkem n keng’s

explanations do not compel a contrary conclusion. See Lata v. INS , 204 F.3d 1241,

1245 (9th Cir. 2000). In addition, s ubstantial evidence supports the agency ’ s
finding that Nkem n keng did not present corroborative evidence that would

otherwise establish his eligibility for relief. See Garcia v. Holder , 7 49 F.3d 785,

791 (petitioner ’ s documentary evidence was insufficient to rehabilitate credibility

or independently support claim). Thus, i n the absence of credible testimony, in

this case, Nkem n keng’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Far ah

v. Ashcroft , 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).

Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of Nkem n keng’s

CAT claim because it was based on the same evidence found not credible, and

Nkem n keng does not point to any other evidence in the rec ord that compels the

conclusion that it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or with the3 19

consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Cameroon

. See Shrestha
,
590 F.3d at 1048

- 49.

We reject Nkem n keng’s contention that the agency erred in its legal analysis

or ignored evidence. See Najmabadi v. Holder , 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 2010)

(the agency adequately considered evidence and sufficiently announced its

decision).

#### WINN-DIXIE STORES, INC., Appellant, v. Elvira M. GARLAND and Harvey P. Garland, her husband, Appellees.

No. N-199.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Oct. 5, 1971.

Barnes, Robinson, Slater & Randle, Jacksonville, for appellant.

Jack F. Wayman and Edward A. White, Jacksonville, for appellees.

JOHNSON, Judge.

Appellant, defendant below, appeals an adverse judgment entered upon a jury verdict awarding appellees $9,000.00 in damages.

This is a typical “slip and fall case” wherein we are asked to determine whether there was competent, substantial evidence to support the jury verdict.

The factual situation as revealed by the record on appeal and the briefs filed herein indicate that the appellee Elvira M. Garland walked into appellant’s store to buy groceries. She approached the shopping basket area, a space reserved for incoming customers, skidded and slipped on something and fell to the floor, sustaining injuries. After the fall, she identified the object she slipped on as being a piece of onion top. She thought a nearby shopping basket, the one she had reached for before falling, contained some green onion tops.

The store manager, who was standing within twelve feet of the accident site, stated in his report to the company that appellee had fallen on an onion. He testified that employees of the store were to check the shopping baskets for debris before returning them to the racks for the use of incoming customers. Although there were no regular schedules for inspections, all employees were supposed to inspect the floor areas for foreign materials. Said manager did not know when the area around the baskets had last been inspected.

Appellant contends in this appeal that there was not competent, substantial evidence to support the jury verdict. It is contended that appellees failed to prove their charge of negligence. We disagree.

We are of the opinion that there were sufficient facts, and inferences to be *45drawn therefrom, from which the jury could reasonably infer that the onion top fell from a shopping basket which appellant had negligently failed to clean out. The facts constitute a jury question and were resolved by the jury adversely to appellant. It is not this court’s province to substitute its judgment for that of the trier of facts. The credibility of the testimony and the weight of the evidence are peculiarly jury questions, and the findings of the jury will not be disturbed in the absence of a clear showing that the evidence demonstrates that the conclusions reached are erroneous. No such showing has here been made.

We have considered appellant’s remaining point of error and find it to be without merit.

The judgment appealed herein is therefore affirmed.
