TODAY’S MESOP QUOTATION / NOW U.N. PROOFED : WAR CRIMINAL BASHAR AL ASSAD
Navi Pillay, U.N. high commissioner for human rights, has for the first time directly implicated Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for war crimes. She said an inquiry into Syria has produced “massive evidence” of war crimes and crimes against humanity. While there has been evidence of abuses on both sides of the conflict, investigators said the government appears to be responsible for the majority, and that evidence shows responsibility “at the highest level of the government, including the head of the state.”

Explaining Iraqi Kurdistan’s Policy Towards Syria, Interview With Wladimir van Wilgenburg / Musings on Iraq
Monday, December 2, 2013 – The conflict in neighboring Syria has provided both opportunities and problems for Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Kurdish President Massoud Barzani and to a lesser extent the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) have attempted to forge ties with Syrian Kurds and shape events there to their benefit. These have only met with limited success as the Syrians have their own agendas. To help explain this policy is Wladimir van Wilgenburg who until recently was based in Irbil, and is an analyst for the Jamestown Foundation out of Washington DC, and writes for Al Monitor.

Syria’s deadly barrel bombs
THE Syrian regime has deployed a deadly new home-made weapon in addition to its large arsenal of Russian-supplied armaments: bombs packed inside large oil drums and dropped from helicopters. Filled with TNT, oil and chunks of steel, the exploding barrels kill and maim across a wider area than high explosives.

…….. die Stalinistin möchte folgendes insinuieren: während die Kräfte des Friedens – an der Spitze Russland, vormals UdSSR – Genf 2 vorbereiten, wünscht sich die syrische Opposition “mehr Munition”.
In der Tat: sie hat nämlich fast keine mehr. Die Seite des Friedens aber, Russland, liefert davon Tonnen an Assad, der selber als „Reformer“ (junge welt) + Friedensfreund am Tag der Leukefeldschen Veröffentlichung ihrer moralischen Verkommenheit mit Öl, TNT-Sprengstoff und Schrappnellen (scharfkantige Eisenteile) gefüllte Fässer (barrell bombs) auf zivile Wohngebiete abwirft.

Forgotten Syrian Voices – Revolution betrayed by Western “Democrats”
1-12-2013 – Hadi al-Abdallah is a young Syrian activist who has been fortunate enough to escape death, and more than once.

In sum, Hadi al-Abdallah is the Arab media sensation of the Syrian revolution.

Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq » Hizballah Cavalcade: The Songs of Liwa’a Abu Fadl al-Abbas: Militant Iraqi Shia Music & Syria
Remember the war against Franco? / That’s the kind where each of us belongs.
Though he may have won all the battles, / We had all the good songs.
- Tom Lehrer, “The Folk Song Army”, 1965.
The author has counted at least thirty different songs available online which have been produced to praise LAFA. Most of these songs were not included due to their lack of popularity in LAFA social media circles.
When journalist Nicholas Blanford first announced Iraqi Shia were fighting alongside the forces of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, his main source for this assessment was a music video.[1] From a period extending from fall 2012-summer 2013, Shia Islamist organizations operating in Syria have released more music videos and have been actively using them in a complex messaging strategy.
KNC & PYD meet in Qamishli
ANHA reports there was a meeting between the PYD’s People’s Council of West-Kurdistan and the Kurdish National Council on Geneva II in Qamishli. It was confirmed by Welati. It’s not clear if the Barzani-backed parties support this plan, but it seems they want to have an unified position for Geneva and reactivate the Supreme Kurdish Council. The upcoming Geneva conference might force the Syrian Kurds to have a more united position, since divided they wouldn’t achieve as much in Geneva II as if they were united. Nevertheless, Yekiti media published an article with the reasons why the KNC didn’t join the interim administration project to clarify the KNC position. The KNC and PYD couldn’t agree on the interim administration project of the PYD neither on working together in the Supreme Kurdish Council.
