Yesterday, at the Institut du Monde Arabe, in Paris, within the initiative “Jeudis de l’IMA”, in the round table “Le Yemen ou la force de l’histoire”, one of the speakers used in his presentation your Map of War of 15.09.2015 . I can not tell you, regrettably, the name of the speaker because I arrived late to the event and did not attend the presentation, but was a man who spoke before the last speaker, who was a woman. I leave the link to the event in case you find it interesting:
For what I could hear and understand with my scarce French during the last hour of the event I attended, it was an open debate, addressing all issues facing Yemen today, but especially, and above all in the end, to focus on the humanitarian catastrophe and the destruction of historical and cultural heritage, largely on UNESCO list. On an adjacent table were presented, among others, brochures of Salam for Yemen, a social and humanitarian initiative which I did not know. In case anyone is interested, here is the link:
It was noted, inter alia, that the destruction of historic sites was clearly premeditated. That between March and July 2015, more than 40 historic sites of Unesco World Heritage had been pulverized, including some of the wonderful buildings of the Old City of Sanaa, by the raids of the Saudi coalition and that this was also a war crime under the “Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict 1954”:
Now that they have effectively been sidelined by Russia in Syria, they seem to be attempting to gain control over oil production in Iraq/Turkey using the Kurds.
I’ve noticed ‘feelers’ via a range of media articles which, while lauding the peshmerga (s), bewail lack of Kurdish unity.
A recent article by a Canadian Kurd psychologist encouraged Iraqi Kurds to gather oral histories of Kurdish oppression by Sadaam. He described it as a holocaust, which apart from the Jewish WWII event, had no compare in historical suffering. (The article was retweeted by the Moshe Dayan Centre in Israel. Nobody else so far has shown the same interest.)
The following advocates an independent (of Iraq) Kurdistan, through the establishment of a National Peshmerga. The article also uses a pivotal moment in the establishment of the Israel state to illustrate how and why this should be done.
US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter described elements of a revamped campaign strategy in Iraq and Syria, saying more raids will be at the center of the fight against the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group.
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Carter said US raids will be focused primarily on the Iraqi city of Ramadi and Raqqa in northeastern Syria, both under ISIL control.
A group of Tunisian Lawmakers and rights activists have announced the beginning of a national campaign to criminalize ties with Israel. The lawmakers will discuss the anti-normalization law with other parliamentary groups in the coming weeks
I really find these videos useful and enjoy watching them, but can someone please send a message to South Front telling them to decrease the volume of the music in the background. It is very loud and I cannot focus on the voice explaining/reviewing the tactical situation.
The narrator and the visual map should be the most important part of the video and not the loud dramatic music in the background.
Hi Southfront!
Yesterday, at the Institut du Monde Arabe, in Paris, within the initiative “Jeudis de l’IMA”, in the round table “Le Yemen ou la force de l’histoire”, one of the speakers used in his presentation your Map of War of 15.09.2015 .

So, as you see, your work is appreciated not only in this community but also in the scientific and academic community, and is given a good use.
I thought you might like to know.
Kind regards.

Notice to mariners from ISIS and other “rebel groups”, and their sponsors, doing the same in Syria.
Hi Elsi,
thank you for the information. It’s cool to read this kind of news.
Kind regards,

My impression is that the US is trying to hop on board before the train leaves the station, no doubt to pull the emergency brake.
The empire not only has no clothes but is caught in the awkward position of terrorist pimp for rich customers.
Keep up the good work of holding its feet to the fire of truth.
Re the US in Iraq:
Now that they have effectively been sidelined by Russia in Syria, they seem to be attempting to gain control over oil production in Iraq/Turkey using the Kurds.

Anyone else discerning a pattern here?

Note: Currently three quarters of Israel’s oil comes from Iraq.
Anyone ever ask if this guy is related to Jimmy?
