Paz Mundial Del Estilo Lennon Ivan – Parte 424
En resumen, me refiero a “Paz Mundial Del Estilo Lennon Ivan – Parte 424” como la creencia que la victoria en IRAK y SIRIA sonó fundamentales para el diezmado de ISIS, mientras que las negociaciones de SYRIANO deben dar lugar a la paz, aunque enfocamos en las nuevas realidades geopolíticas donde las tensiones entre ISRAEL y IRÁN representan la mayor preocupación, como el desencadenante de una posible Tercera Guerra Mundial Final potencial, de tal manera que todos los líderes de todo el mundo deben aumentar sus esfuerzos para identificar opciones diplomáticas creativas para reducir las tensiones, para considerar el nombramiento de THE ROCK como enviado especial para ORIENTE MEDIO, ya que la situación actual entre ISRAEL y IRÁN representa las nuevas realidades geopolíticas en la región, por lo cual parece que el Presidente Estadounidense, Donald Trump, haberse dado cuenta de que necesita un aliado en el ORIENTE MEDIO y, por lo tanto, los ESTADOS UNIDOS centraron su atención en ARABIA SAUDITA, que ha estado aferramiento con el escándalo de KHASHOGGI, por el cual se ha producido un alboroto internacional por el presunto asesinato de un periodista SAUDÍ en el interior del consulado de ARABIA SAUDITA en la capital de ESTAMBUL, TURQUÍA, con el Presidente de los ESTADOS UNIDOS, Donald Trump, inicialmente líder de relaciones públicas y médico de turno para la familia real de ARABIA SAUDITA, por especular sobre los asesinos rebeldes, mientras que insiste en que la familia real de ARABIA SAUDITA debe ser considerada inocente hasta que se demuestre su culpabilidad, mientras ahora se ve obligado a calificar su apoyo incondicional inicial con un WOW, como número de muertos en TURQUÍA debido al brote de COVID-19 aumentó a más de 8,450, con un total de más de 324,500 casos, como más de 35.5 millones de personas cayeron enfermas en todo el mundo, y más de 1,043,000 personas muertas, mientras que los planes para el alto el fuego de LIBIA, contar con el respaldo de diplomáticos de 15 países, pero valor de los compromisos en encuentro virtual, contradicen los signos de que la participación de poderes externos rivales, incluyendo RUSIA y TURQUÍA, la mayor parte de las disputas de LIBIA, giran en torno a alcanzar un consenso sobre la distribución justa de los ingresos petroleros, mientras que el General Khalifa Haftar, ha utilizado la milicia para mantener el control de los campos petrolíferos, pero no ha encontrado una forma de vender petróleo en el mercado abierto, mientras que ARABIA SAUDITA alivió las restricciones al coronavirus, al permitir que los peregrinos regresen a MECCA, aunque sea un número muy pequeño y limitado de personas, como peregrinación “UMRAH” que atrae a millones de personas de todo el mundo, ahora restringido a un máximo de 6,000 peregrinos al día para entrar en la Gran Mezquita desmadejado,como todos los vecinos de IRANIA están nerviosos después que COVID-19 mató a más de 27,200 personas en IRÁN, con más de 475,700 casos confirmados, mientras que con ARMENIA y AZERBAIYÁN encerrados en un nuevo conflicto sobre la disputada región de NAGORNO-KARABAKH, el vecino IRÁN se encuentra en un delicado acto de equilibrio, uno de mediación, pidiendo un alto el fuego y un diálogo inmediatos.
TURKEY News
During the week ending on Sunday, October 11, 2020, the focus in TURKEY seemed to shift to the TURKISH struggling economy, largely attributable to a lack of confidence by foreign investors, due largely to TURKEY’s repressive crackdown measures on all opposition movements. It is important to note that, several months ago, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan allowed TURKEY’s two-year state of emergency to come to an end but as trials of dissidents and journalists continue, human rights campaigners continue to pressure TURKEY to do more to reverse a suffocating crackdown on free speech. Critics claim that the state of emergency, in place since the failed “Coup D’État” in July of 2016 that killed 250 people and wounded 1,400, has been used to detain opponents by the governing AKP for lengthy periods of time without trial to intimidate dissidents and to prosecute media outlets. That is, more than 120,000 people in the police, military, academia, media and civil service have been detained or dismissed from their jobs, over their alleged links to Fethullah Gulen, who is the exiled TURKISH preacher based now in the U.S., who TURKEY blames as the brains behind the operations for the failed “Coup D’État”.
However, the behaviours of TURKEY’s governing AKP seem to be taking their toll on the TURKISH economy as turbulent politics have resulted in economic turmoil whereby the sliding TURKISH Lira set-off alarm bells across TURKEY as businesses continue to struggle to cope with the financial impacts of a declining TURKISH Lira. Unfortunately, TURKEY’s fragile economy recently received another economic blow when TURKEY’s growth forecasts for this year and next year were dramatically reduced, triggering further drops in the value of the TURKISH Lira. It is important to note that TURKISH Finance Minister Berat Albayrak continues to insist that TURKEYS’s economy does not face any significant risks. However, TURKISH banks that borrowed heavily abroad now face the near impossible task of refinancing short-term debt in expensive U.S. Dollars and E.U. Euros. Therefore, TURKEY will be hit with a currency mismatch as TURKEY mostly earns returns on investments in TURKISH Lira, while it has to payback its foreign currency denominated debt by converting a plummeting TURKISH Lira, resulting in significantly higher debt payments.
It is important to note that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has resolved to stand firm on TURKEY’s decision to buy the RUSSIAN S-400 missile defense system based on grievances that include: (1) U.S. armed Syrian KURDISH forces in war against ISIS, although TURKEY regards this as a threat to its territorial integrity; (2) U.S. refused to extradite the exiled TURKISH preacher, Fethullah Gulen, who TURKEY blames as the brains behind failed “Coup D’État”; (3) Turkey’s economy has been hurt by U.S. sanctions on IRAN that are driving up energy prices; and (4) U.S. is backing TURKEY’s rivals in a natural gas dispute with CYPRUS and in other regional conflicts. Nonetheless, the U.S. held firm that it will not allow TURKEY to purchase both the F-35 fighter jet and the RUSSIAN missile system such that TURKEY could face sanctions over the US$2.5 billion acquisition.
Ironically, TURKEY appears to be undeterred by the threats, arguing that the U.S. has no right to remove TURKEY from the F-35 program under existing agreements, while threatening to take reciprocal steps to any U.S. imposed sanctions. However, parts of the RUSSIAN S-400 surface-to-air, missile defense system equipment has already been delivered to TURKEY, even after repeated U.S. calls to cancel the deal or face punishment. Therefore, TURKEY’s acquisition of the RUSSIAN S-400 missile systems has led many to wonder if TURKEY was moving away from its U.S. and Western allies, but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seems to be treating the RUSSIAN S-400 as a simple business transaction, as the governing AKP appears to realise how much TURKEY needs U.S. and European support to fuel the TURKISH economy and to maintain NATO security. It is important to note that although Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has increasingly cast the U.S. and Western nations as TURKEY’s secondary allies, he is aware that most of his electoral success since 2002 has been driven by the record amount of mostly U.S. and European foreign direct investment that TURKEY has attracted. Furthermore, since TURKEY’s currency crisis last year, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan understands that only the U.S., E.U. and International Monetary Fund (IMF) can rescue TURKEY from a financial meltdown.
Meanwhile, TURKEY’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued to warn the SYRIAN regime, RUSSIA and IRAN that an all-out military offensive on IDLIB could lead to a disastrous outcome for TURKEY by triggering a new wave of refugees heading towards the TURKISH borders. Thus, the world has been bracing for months for the Bashar al-Assad Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to attack IDLIB, where around 2.5 million civilians are living in opposition-held territory with no clear escape routes if fighting escalates. Hence, TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reached a ceasefire deal with RUSSIA, in recent months, to prevent an all-out attack on IDLIB, as TURKEY is worried that an attack on IDLIB will trigger a mass exodus of refugees fleeing towards the TURKISH border. It is important to note that the weapons, which have entered SYRIA in large quantities, in recent months, including ammunition and GRAD rockets, clearly indicated that TURKEY would be providing complete TURKISH military support, for a long drawn-out battle over IDLIB, if necessary, that functioned as an effective deterrent from a full scale attack by the SAA and its RUSSIAN and IRANIAN backed allies. However, in recent months, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which includes former AL-QAEDA terrorist fighters among its ranks, seems to be attempting to consolidate power in northern SYRIA with waves of arrests of civilians during the TURKEY and RUSSIAN brokered ceasefire. Hence, all parties seem to realize that there cannot be peace in IDLIB by force as the HTS rebels refuse to cede defeat.
Nonetheless, more than 70,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in SYRIA recently, as TURKISH forces pushed further into the northeast of SYRIA against KURDISH YPG forces. That is, fighting had been raging, as TURKISH forces had stepped up their assaults against KURDISH forces that were pounded relentlessly by TURKISH fighters with air raids and artillery fire amid heavy fighting. As a friendly reminder, the TURKISH government considers the KURDISH YPG as terrorists although the KURDISH YPG was the primary U.S. ally in the war against ISIS. It is thus obvious to me that over thirty years of bad blood between TURKEY and the KURDISH PKK has clouded TURKEY’s judgement to the point that they are unable to remain objective and impartial as concerns the KURDS such that their personal animosities have taken control and thus all KURDS are now seen as part of the terrorist mole. Thus, the KURDISH YPG have formally stated that the barrage of attacks by TURKEY represents a U.S. betrayal whereby U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to abandon SYRIA’s KURDS is perceived as a knife in the back given that the KURDISH YPG fought alongside the U.S. against ISIS. It is important to note that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants 20 miles deep “safe zone” along SYRIAN side of the border clear of all KURDISH YPG fighters, where he wants to resettle up to two million SYRIAN refugees currently living in TURKEY. However, TURKEY reached an agreement with the U.S. to pause its military offensive against KURDISH YPG forces in order for the KURDISH YPG to complete their withdrawal from areas along the SYRIAN border, in line with the recent RUSSIA and TURKEY deal.
However, RUSSIAN and SYRIAN troops have moved into the border zone following the KURDISH YPG withdrawal. Furthermore, the RUSSIA and TURKEY deal to divide control of northeast Syria has halted the TURKISH invasion of the area, as the primary objective of TURKEY remains to drive out KURDISH YPG forces. However, TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed frustration that the world did not offer what he saw as sufficient support for TURKEY’s invasion of northern SYRIA, a measure he argued was designed to resettle refugees fleeing SYRIA’s eight-year conflict. It is important to note that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan argued that TURKEY hosts over 3.7 million SYRIAN refugees at a cost of over US$ 40 billion. Thus, as per TURKEY, in an attempt to alleviate this burden, TURKEY and allied SYRIAN rebels launched the cross-border offensive against areas held by U.S. backed KURDISH fighters, in order to establish a so-called safe zone. Ironically, the TURKISH led attack was met with criticism by SYRIAN government, but also from the U.S., RUSSIA and other powers as well. Thus, TURKEY has adversely reacted to those not supporting his project, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that even the giants of the world, the ones with the most money, just smile at TURKEY while there is no support for TURKISH initiatives.
However, TURKEY made it clear that TURKEY cannot absorb any more refugees, either from SYRIA or beyond. In addition, TURKEY has long cautioned the E.U. not to be complacent about the challenges the E.U. faces, including the rise of extremism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. Lastly, TURKEY has called for a revamped international system to manage the huge displacement of people fleeing conflicts, such as SYRIA, while painstakingly trying to convince the E.U. to help TURKEY resolve such conflicts and address the geopolitical issues that currently surround EUROPE. Hence, perhaps COVID-19 will result in the imminent path towards peace in the MIDDLE EAST as all countries in the region now have a unified enemy to combat. Thus, TURKEY has been extending its measures against the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, from suspending flights and limiting work hours to more stringent disinfection works, as the death toll increased to over 8,450 with a total of over 324,500 cases. Meanwhile, TURKEY now has the twentieth-highest number of cases worldwide as over 35.5 million people have fallen ill globally and more than 1,043,000 people have died.
However, this week, FRANCE’s growing disagreement with TURKEY over the LIBYAN civil war has exposed cracks in the NATO military alliance and raised questions over what FRANCE is seeking to achieve in the region. That is, FRANCE was the only European country considered to be a supporter of renegade General Khalifa Haftar, who launched a more than yearlong offensive on TRIPOLI to replace the UN-backed government. Thus, the dispute with TURKEY has escalated as TURKEY’s military intervention backing LIBYA’s Government of National Accord (GNA) shifted the dynamics of the LIBYAN conflict, with General Khalifa Haftar’s forces suffering a string of defeats in recent weeks. However, FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron insists FRANCE has now adopted a neutral stance and that it fully supports the U.N. supported peace process in LIBYA agreed by international powers in January. Nonetheless, TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced EGYPT and UAE for supporting forces based in eastern LIBYA, after EGYPT’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met LIBYAN tribesmen who urged EGYPT to intervene in the war. It is important to note that TURKEY has been providing military aid to the U.N. recognised government in the LIBYA conflict, while EGYPT, UAE and RUSSIA have backed its rivals based in the east.
Therefore, this week plans for a durable LIBYAN ceasefire are to be endorsed by diplomats from 15 countries, but the value of the commitments made in the virtual meeting are contradicted by signs that deepening involvement in the country by rival external powers including RUSSIA and TURKEY could complicate efforts to form an interim government of national unity. That is, the LIBYA conflict has to be seen as not only a long-running power struggle in the country itself but also part of a wider geopolitical dispute in which TURKEY’s assertive foreign policy, ranging from the eastern Mediterranean to Azerbaijan, is an increasing factor. Before the diplomats’ meeting, the TURKISH president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, appeared to double down on his military and political commitment to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA), making the withdrawal of TURKISH troops from LIBYA less likely. However, at the same time, RUSSIAN backed mercenaries in the Wagner group supporting rival forces in the east of the country have moved to strengthen their military positions. TURKISH president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised at a high-level ministerial meeting between the GNA and the TURKISH government in Istanbul to broaden investment in LIBYA. Therefore, an oil drilling deal signed with the GNA last November cut across the drilling rights of GREECE and CYPRUS in the eastern Mediterranean. Germany, a co-host with the United Nations of the LIBYA meeting, has also been mediating between TURKEY and GREECE, and has so far prevented the EU from imposing sanctions on TURKEY as punishment for sending military-backed exploration ships into GREEK and CYPRIOT waters. Turkey has been offered talks on a modernised customs union with the EU if it agrees to mediation on drilling rights. Owing to the GNA’s military vulnerability, TURKISH president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the senior partner in the relationship, and he can use the agreement with the GNA as leverage in talks with the EU. His allies suggested at the TURKEY meeting that he would like the LIBYAN prime minister, Fayez al-Sarraj, to reconsider his plan to resign by the end of this month, which appears to have triggered a power battle in the GNA-controlled west of the country. Meanwhile, militias have been in open warfare in TRIPOLI, and senior political figures have been sacked in what is being described as an anti-corruption drive, but which also looks like naked power struggle. Similar political infighting has been unleashed in the east of the country, held by GNA-opposed forces, as its factions try to position themselves to gain favour with outside sponsors including Russia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE and Turkey have openly flouted a UN arms embargo that the special envoy for Libya, Stephanie Williams, has described as a joke. Meanwhile, RUSSIA has blocked the publication of a report to the UN security council naming the countries and firms in breach. Much of LIBYA’s disputes revolve around reaching consensus on the fair distribution of oil revenues across the country. The east of the country, where the bulk of the big oilfields are situated, are required to send oil revenues via the Libyan National Oil Corporation to the central bank for distribution across the country. A vast portion of the revenue is spent on public-sector salaries. General Khalifa Haftar, a figure accused of tolerating war crimes, has used militia to retain his control of the oilfields, but has not found a way to sell the oil on the open market.
SAUDI ARABIA News
In an unusual chain of events, international uproar over the alleged killing of a SAUDI journalist inside the SAUDI ARABIAN consulate in the capital of ISTANBUL, TURKEY continues, whereby the SAUDI ARABIAN officials had promised consequences for anyone, even a member of the royal SAUDI ARABIAN family, found responsible for the assassination. Thus, TURKEY has led a relentless campaign to hold SAUDI ARABIA accountable, as TURKISH authorities have allowed media leaks to the international press. Furthermore, TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan formally denounced SAUDI ARABIA for initially trying to deny involvement in the killing, as after weeks of lying, SAUDI ARABIA finally admitted that Jamal Khashoggi was dead, such that as per TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, covering up this kind of savagery will hurt the conscience of all humanity. Subsequently, CIA Director Gina Haspel presented a solid case behind her conclusion that there is a high level of confidence that Crown Prince MBS was complicit in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. However, the official response from the SAUDI ARABIAN Foreign Ministry was that Saudi Arabia categorically rejects any interference in its internal affairs, any and all accusations, in any manner, that disrespect its leadership, and any attempts to undermine its sovereignty or diminish its stature. Thus, final official SAUDI ARABIAN version remains that SAUDI ARABIAN assassins killed Jamal Khashoggi with an injection of sedatives, and then immediately set to work dismembering him and hiding his remains. Hence, SAUDI ARABIA put the Jamal Khashoggi murder suspects on trial, whereby the prosecutor, SAUDI ARABIA’s attorney general, demanded the death penalty for 5 of the 11 suspects.
However, it is important to note that U.S. President Donald Trump is now focusing his efforts on strengthening ties with SAUDIA ARABIA and UAE, while the U.S. Congress persists to challenge him every step of the way. That is, bipartisan majority in U.S. Congress are fed up with U.S. President Donald Trump’s deference to SAUDI ARABIA and UAE, which has allowed those countries to act with impunity. Nonetheless, some members of the ruling family and business elite expressed their frustrations with Crown Prince MBS’s leadership, that have increased after recent largest-ever attack on SAUDI ARABIA’s oil infrastructure. It is important to note that the recent attack has sparked concern among several prominent branches of the ruling AL SAUD family, which numbers about 10,000, about Crown Prince MBS’s ability to defend and lead the world’s largest oil exporter. Furthermore, the recent oil attack has also fuelled discontent among some in elite circles who believe that Crown Prince MBS has sought too tight a grip on power. In addition, the recent oil attack has also fuelled criticism among those who believe Crown Prince MBS has pursued an overly aggressive stance towards IRAN.
Nonetheless, SAUDI ARABIA has been ranked as the world’s top ease of doing business improver by the World Bank Group’s Doing Business 2020 Report. It is important to note that the report indicates that SAUDI ARABIA has jumped 72 global positions in “Trading Across Borders”, an indicator which compares the time and cost of exporting and importing goods. Furthermore, these improvements follow a raft of legislative reforms implemented by Saudi Logistics Hub, a government initiative established to drive growth in SAUDI ARABIA’s logistics sector, whereby reforms include the reduction of Custom’s clearance from seven to ten days to 24 hours, the reduction of the manual inspection rate at Customs from 89% to 48%, and the reduction of the number of documents required to import from 12 to 2 and to export from 8 to 2. Thus, these critical reforms have facilitated SAUDI ARABIA’s drive to be positioned as one of the world’s most dynamic logistics hubs.
SAUDI ARABIAN authorities have temporarily suspended entry for people planning to visit SAUDI ARABIA for UMRAH, pilgrimage, or for visiting Prophet’s mosque in MEDINA over fears of deadly coronavirus, as per the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is important to note that the Ministry stated that this precautionary step comes in completion of efforts taken to provide the utmost protection to the safety of citizens, residents and everyone who intends to come to SAUDI ARABIA for the purpose of tourism. Furthermore, the new coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has disrupted the world economy, with fewer planes flying, ships sailing and factories producing, that has recently pushed down oil prices. It is important to note that this week, SAUDI ARABIA reported over 4,900 deaths from the coronavirus (COVID-19) while bringing the total number of cases to over 336,750. Hence, some SAUDI ARABIAN cities including the capital of RIYADH are under a 24-hour curfew imposed by the interior minister. It is important to note that the biggest economy in the MIDDLE EAST has also closed down cinemas, malls and restaurants and halted flights as it steps up efforts to contain COVID-19.
However, this week, after a SAUDI ARABIAN and RUSSIAN truce to stabilise oil markets with a record output cut, market players are seeing the two production heavyweights still trading blows in the physical market. That is, as demand is falling, and the competition is getting even tougher, SAUDI ARABIA does not seem to mind enticing buyers with special offers. That is, SAUDI ARABIAN Aramco has offered refiners in ASIA and EUROPE the option to defer payments for crude cargo deliveries by up to 90 days. However, RUSSIA’s main advantage in the physical market fight with SAUDI ARABIA is its extensive pipeline network, helping RUSSIA to place oil at cheaper rates compared to its rival SAUDI ARABIA that has to find tankers and pay for transportation. Furthermore, RUSSIAN oil fields are connected to refineries in EUROPE and ASIA such that oil companies have long-term contracts with RUSSIA. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is subject to freight rates and vessel availability for transportation of its oil. Therefore, although the rivals stated that they were ready to take measures to balance the market by cutting combined output with other OPEC members from May to reduce global supply by 10%, the battle for clients is still going on the ground. Thus, it is on the day-to-day current market, rather than in the world of futures prices, that a long-standing battle for market share carries on, particularly in ASIA.
Meanwhile, this week, SAUDI ARABIA eases coronavirus restrictions, allows pilgrims to return to MECCA. However, a very small, limited number of people, donning the white terrycloth garment symbolic of the Muslim pilgrimage, circled ISLAM’s holiest site in MECCA after SAUDI ARABIA lifted coronavirus restrictions that had been in place for months. It is important to note that SAUDI ARABIA had taken the rare step in early March of suspending the smaller year-round “UMRAH” pilgrimage that draws millions from across the world, as the coronavirus grew into a global pandemic and prompted countries to impose lockdowns and curfews to slow down transmission. However, as nations begin to ease those restrictions, the SAUDI ARABIAN government started allowing a maximum of 6,000 pilgrims a day to enter the sprawling Grand Mosque in Mecca. However, only SAUDI ARABIAN citizens and residents will be permitted to enter the mosque during this first phase of reopening, and each person has up to three hours to complete the pilgrimage. The Grand Mosque, which is being sterilized and cleaned multiple times a day, houses the cube-shaped Kaaba that observant Muslims pray toward five times a day. However, before visitors can enter the mosque to pray or perform the “UMRAH”, they have to apply and reserve a specific time and date through an online application to avoid crowding and maintain social distancing. Visitors can also select their means of transportation and meeting points via the application. State TV showed what appeared to be fewer than 50 people circling the Kaaba at the same time and walking several meters apart. Typically, the mosque would be packed with worshippers from around the world crowded shoulder-to-shoulder at all times of the day and night. The second phase for loosening restrictions at the Grand Mosque comes into effect on Oct. 18, allowing a maximum of 15,000 pilgrims and 40,000 for prayer from among residents and citizens based on allocated times via the application. Muslim travellers from outside SAUDI ARABIA could be allowed to perform the “UMRAH” pilgrimage as early as November 1, the Interior Ministry has said as SAUDI ARABIA recently began easing some restrictions on international flights for the first time since March. SAUDI ARABIA held a dramatically downsized, symbolic “HAJJ” pilgrimage in July due to concerns that it could easily have become a global super-spreader event for the virus. Pilgrims were selected after applying through an online portal and all were residents or citizens of Saudi Arabia. Rather than the more than 2 million pilgrims the kingdom hosts for the annual event, as little as 1,000 took part after being tested for the virus and quarantined.
However, civilians in YEMEN struggle to buy food to break their fast, culminating after four consecutive years of civil war, that has resulted in the YEMEN currency sinking to its lowest levels in history, while the cost of food has soared, triggering a major food crisis like YEMEN has never before seen. It is important to note that many in the capital, SANAA, which is under HOUTHI control, work without pay and have no money to buy food. Nonetheless, SAUDI ARABIA continues to insist that the HOUTHI rebels continue to violate the HODEIDA agreement, as the HOUTHI rebels continue to be backed by IRAN. In my opinion, the SAUDI ARABIAN led effort to crush the rebellion by IRAN-aligned HOUTHI rebels in YEMEN appears to be in a stalemate, as neither party is ready nor willing to relinquish control. It is important to note that the SAUDI ARABIA and UAE coalition have succeeded in preventing a strategic control disaster by preventing HOUTHI rebels from capturing BAB AL-MANDEB, a critical transportation point between the RED SEA and the GULF OF ADEN. Nonetheless, HOUTHI rebels remain in control of YEMEN capital, SANAA, a considerable part of YEMEN coast and main urban centers of YEMEN. Furthermore, the SOUTHERN TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL (STC) fighters now control the port of ADEN, with the potential for further clashes between the sides escalating over time. Meanwhile, YEMEN’s Houthis took control of the city of AL-HAZM, the capital of AL-JAWF governorate, bordering SAUDI ARABIA by storming the city and seizing it after battles with government forces backed by SAUDI ARABIA and UAE. However, the fighting resulted in deaths and injuries on both sides while YEMENI ambassador to UNESCO, Muhammad Jumeh, blamed AL-HAZM fall on military and political leaders staying outside of YEMEN and being engaged with side battles instead of defeating YEMEN’s Houthis “Coup D’État”.
Ironically, U.N. envoy Martin Griffiths stated that all fighting sides support a U.N. peace deal brokered in SWEDEN last December and are making progress towards achieving it. Furthermore, Martin Griffiths stated that he believes that this war in YEMEN is eminently resolvable, as both parties continue to insist that they want a political solution, as a military solution is not available. As a friendly reminder, YEMEN’s latest conflict broke out in late 2014 when the HOUTHI rebels, allied with forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and backed by IRAN, seized much of YEMEN, including the capital, SANAA. Subsequently, the war escalated in March of 2015 when a military coalition led by SAUDI ARABIA and UAE launching a fierce air campaign against the HOUTHI rebels in a bid to restore the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Unfortunately, since then, tens of thousands of civilians and combatants have been killed and as many as 85,000 children appear to have literally starved to death, while each respective side holds on to what appears to be a never-ending conflict for power and control.
IRAQ News
IRAQ finds itself caught in the crossfire as U.S. President Donald Trump plans to revert U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East by an eventual complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. However, with the impending U.S. withdrawal, IRAQ appears to be on high alert for ISIS fighters fleeing SYRIA, as there are legitimate security concerns that the fleeing ISIS militia will attempt to regroup in areas they once controlled in northern and western IRAQ. However, IRAQI President Barham Salih stated that foreign ISIS fighters would be tried under IRAQI law, such that they could be handed death sentences for acts of terrorism, if found guilty of killing IRAQIS, as IRAQI law allows for capital punishment. It is important to note that at least 200 mass graves containing up to 12,000 victims have been discovered in IRAQ, as IRAQ continues to struggle to emerge from the psychological damage caused by the four-year battle with ISIS militants.
However, the hunt for ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reached a climactic conclusion, as U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a raid conducted by the U.S. military in northwest SYRIA killed the senior ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Furthermore, more details emerged of how Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi chose to blow up himself and three of his children in a tunnel, after U.S. Special Forces entered his heavily fortified compound in SYRIA’s IDLIB province during the raid. It appears that in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s last months on the run, he was agitated and fearful of traitors, sometimes disguised as a shepherd, sometimes hiding underground, but always dependent on a shrinking circle of ISIS right hand men for protection. Ironically, it seems that months ago, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi delegated most of his powers to a senior deputy who is likely the man announced by ISIS as his successor, as even Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi seemed to realize that his days were numbered, relying on a YAZIDI teen as a slave to travel as a cover for him and a core group of up to seven close ISIS body guards.
Ironically, IRAQI Prime Minister, Adil Abdul-Mahdi made his first visit to SAUDI ARABIA after SAUDI ARABIA reopened its consulate in Baghdad, IRAQ and announced $ 1 billion in aid for IRAQ. Hence, Adil Abdul-Mahdi visited SAUDI ARABIA, the Americans prime ally in the MIDDLE EAST, demonstrating that Iraq wants to maintain good relations with both IRAN and the U.S. However, the U.S. is well apprised of IRAQ’s current dependence on IRANIAN gas and electricity. That is, although the U.S. re-imposed tough sanctions on IRAN’s energy and finance sectors last year, IRAQ continues to benefit from several temporary exemptions granted by the U.S. to allow IRAQ to continue importing IRANIAN gas and electricity, crucial to IRAQ’s weak power sector. It is important to note that IRAQI President Barham Salih focused on U.S. and IRANIAN tensions by clearly stating that another war is the last thing the MIDDLE EAST needs, as the last war on terror against ISIS has not yet been completed.
It is important to note that the Middle East has been overshadowed by rising tensions and the threat of war between the U.S. and IRAN, while it is certain that IRAQ would be caught in the middle of such a conflict, as IRAQ is still a base for thousands of U.S. troops and IRANIAN paramilitary units. Therefore, IRAQI President Barham Salih made it clear that under no circumstances will IRAQ allow the U.S. to use its bases in IRAQ to launch any attacks on neighbouring IRAN. Furthermore, IRAQI President Barham Salih made it clear that IRAQ does not want IRAQI territory to be a staging post for any hostile actions against any IRAQI neighbours, including IRAN, such that utilizing IRAQ as a base to launch attacks against IRAN is definitely not part of any agreement between the IRAQI government and the U.S.
Meanwhile, this week, IRAQ has logged a total of over 383,000 coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and recorded over 9,500 deaths, but there are concerns that many more are going undetected, as only small portion of IRAQ’s 40 million plus population have been tested thus far. Therefore, although most of IRAQ’s 18 provinces have already imposed their own local curfews, new measures will include the whole of IRAQ, according to a decision by IRAQ’s crisis management team. Therefore, schools, universities and other gathering places would remain closed, as would IRAQ’s multiple international airports. However, in the backdrop lingers the possibility of the relationship between IRAQ and the U.S. being on the brink of collapse, as IRAQ seeks to form a new government, with its parliament on record as recommending that U.S. forces be expelled from IRAQ due to the January’ 2020 killing of IRANIAN terror mastermind Qassam Soleimani. Furthermore, tensions were once again inflamed by the U.S. retaliation, on March 13, 2020, for recent rocket barrages against U.S. and allied forces in IRAQ by IRANIAN-backed militias that killed two U.S. soldiers and one British soldier. Subsequently, another round of barrages occurred by IRANIAN-backed militias, with the potential for yet more U.S. retaliations. Therefore, the U.S. and IRAQI partnership appears to be in danger namely due to IRAN’s solid presence in IRAQ.
SYRIA News
It is important to note that after 8 years of bloodshed that has killed over 500,000 people and forced over 7.5 million people from their homes, IDLIB, in the northwest of SYRIA is the last opposition stronghold, including extremist terrorist elements such as HTS, to existing regime under President Bashar al-Assad. Thus, for the 2.5 million people trapped in IDLIB, with no way out, the tense ceasefire still currently in effect could very well be the only difference between life and death. Nonetheless, RUSSIA made it clear that it will not allow the de-escalation zone in IDLIB to be a safe zone for terrorists. However, at this stage, RUSSIA also opposes any large-scale military operation in the region, citing numerous civilians who can be used as human shields by the HTS militants. Nonetheless, a large number of SAA soldiers were redeployed to HAMA and IDLIB, as the SAA military appears to be making new preparations for a wide-scale offensive to liberate the remaining areas of SYRIA once and for all. Hence, SAA and its RUSSIAN allies have intensified their bombing campaign on IDLIB as the area has seen a dramatic increase in violence, including airstrikes, barrel bombs and artillery attacks. Furthermore, it is important to note that escalating military operations in northwestern IDLIB are literally bringing a new massacre each day.
Therefore, the leaders of RUSSIA and TURKEY persistently state that they share deep concerns over fighting in northwestern SYRIA, with TURKEY warning that it would take the steps necessary to protect its troops there, as TURKEY continues to back the moderate rebels in northwest SYRIA and has thus deployed TURKISH forces in the IDLIB region. Hence, after perpetual offensives in IDLIB by SYRIAN and RUSSIAN forces that has caused a massive outflow of refugees to TURKEY, all parties seem to realize that there cannot be peace in IDLIB by force, as the HTS rebels refuse to cede defeat. Nonetheless, the SAA and RUSSIA are now once again seriously considering a new offensive in IDLIB, after regularly exchanging fire with HTS rebels near the demilitarized zone, as patience is wearing thin in IDLIB and western ALEPPO after several ceasefire violations by HTS rebels.
Meanwhile, SYRIA and TURKEY tensions rose in IDLIB as crowded camps, closed borders and cold weather raised fears of another humanitarian crisis. It is important to note that fierce fighting in IDLIB has resulted in the largest mass displacement of civilians in the SYRIAN war to date with over 900,000; leaving hundreds of thousands of people camped out in tents on the TURKISH border in sub-zero conditions. Furthermore, the aid operation by the U.N. in IDLIB was overwhelmed, as the number of people displaced by the SAA offensive continues to rise, with most of the 900,000 that have fled since December of 2019, consisting of women and children. Furthermore, the U.N. added that health facilities and schools were being targeted by the SAA, while President Bashar al-Assad vowed to continue SAA operations in IDLIB after SAA forces made new advances. However, the UN Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mark Lowcock, warned that the biggest humanitarian horror story of the 21’st Century in IDLIB could only be avoided with a ceasefire, given that babies and small children were dying because of the cold, with people being forced to sleep outside in freezing temperatures, as camps were full. However, this week, TURKEY signed a deal with RUSSIA to cease fighting in IDLIB, after an attack by SAA forces killed 36 TURKISH soldiers, that triggered a heavy TURKISH response.
However, this week, SYRIANS in IDLIB fear a nearing end as the city of IDLIB is the last urban area still under opposition control in SYRIA, located in a shrinking rebel enclave, while representing the last rebel held enclave in SYRIA’s civil war, which entered its 10’th year this week. However, the misery wreaked by the civil war has not diminished as a bloodier and possibly more disastrous phase is on the horizon, if government forces, backed by RUSSIA and IRAN, go ahead with threats to recapture IDLIB city and the remaining rebel-held north, crammed with over 3 million people. Thus, IDLIB residents struggle with daily life as more than half a million children have been displaced by latest fighting and are living in desperate conditions. It is important to note that the RUSSIAN and TURKISH ceasefire is largely holding in IDLIB, but for the nearly one million people displaced by the latest fighting, finding refuge is a daily struggle, while some have even been forced to live in graveyards. Thus, although the government offensive has been paused by a RUSSIAN and TURKISH cease-fire deal, residents of IDLIB are now living in a state of terrifying limbo, as they are sceptical whether the cease-fire will last, while being well aware that they are likely the next target of the last SAA assault.
Furthermore, SYRIAN and TURKISH armed forces have been sending reinforcements to the IDLIB on a daily basis, despite an ongoing ceasefire among the all-warring parties in the region. Meanwhile, as men wage bloody battle for IDLIB, women sew facemasks to fight the next threat consisting of COVID-19 in sprawling refugee camps, as the official SYRIAN total of 205 deaths and 4,370 cases, does not seem to reflect potential risk of over 100,000 deaths if COVID-19 is allowed to spread without any mitigation. Nonetheless, the SAA launched a new attack on the jihadist defenses along the southern IDLIB front lines, as the SAA once again struck the defenses of the jihadist rebels after they moved more forces to the front lines near the town of AL-BARA. However, this week, the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) stated that it expects that RUSSIA, TURKEY and IRAN will reach a consensus to remove the head of the SYRIAN regime, Bashar Al-Assad, and establish a ceasefire in exchange for forming a transitional government that includes the opposition, members of the regime and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

We are doing something GREAT, AMAZING and OUTSTANDING, such that chances are that we may loose some battles along the way. However, the pain of losing the battle is temporary, while the pain of losing the war lasts forever. We learn from our battles lost, although we grow from our setbacks encountered along the way, but we never give up on our dreams and the pursuit of our passions because we are never paralyzed by fear. We are the ones in control of our destiny and we take full ownership of the consequences of our choices but we always remain in the driver’s seat. We utilize the attacks from our oppositions as springboards to success and thus we always rise higher than before like you can never imagine!
