Mesop Syria Daily: Has Regime Turned the Tide in Aleppo?

By Scott Lucas – enduring america. 23.5.2014 Only last month we were writing of insurgents putting pressure on the Syrian regime in Aleppo, moving in from the northwest and threatening to take positions to the south.This morning the headline situation is reversed after President Assad’s forces broke the months-long siege of Aleppo Central Prison (pictured), just to the north of Syria’s largest city. The opposition effort to take the facility, freeing thousands of detainees at risk of starvation or death — adding to the many hundreds who have already died there — appears to be over.

The Kurdish initiative towards democratic change on the basis of unity and diversity – PYD Relation Europe

MESOP DOCUMENT: WEST KURDISTAN (SYRIA) – “Welcome diversity 6 Plurality”

The Syrian crisis deepened amid blind violence exceeding all limits, in a way pushing the country towards the unknown in the absence of any objective and serious solutions. It is essentially beyond being just a crisis of the regime or the rule or authority, and has moved towards being a comprehensive structural crisis that stems from the unilateral nationalist approach based on the concept of the nation state, which contains within it the seeds of denial and domination and chauvinism which has ruled Syria for almost half a century.

„THE HONEYMOON BETWEEN PYD & ASSAD IS OVER“ (Boje Vindheim Parlamentarier Norwegen)

“Solange wir uns auf unser Volk verlassen können, werden unsere Erfolge bleibend sein. Wir werden nicht wie Ikarus, der sich der Sonne zu sehr nähert, fallen.”

Salih Muslim angesichts der jüngsten Entwicklung Mai 2014

Guy Debod Völkische Prosa wird nicht benötigt und bedeutet jetzt höchstens das Pfeifen im Walde. – Nach seinem Erstarken wird Assad nun das tun, was Saddam dutzendmal mit den Kurden gemacht hat: erst Zugeständnisse, um ihre partielle Loyalität zu gewinnen, um dann nach eigener Stabilisierung blutig zuzuschlagen.

Die PYD Kurden hätten dann militant Assad gegen sich, die Islamisten, auch alle demokratische Opposition in Syrien (hier gelten sie als Kollaborateure), die Sunnis, die Türken und die KRG.

Verzichtet man den Ikarus Hinweis, so bleibt eine ebenso abenteuerliche wie kleinbürgerlich vermessene Politik von Anfang an. Man wollte vorteilsnehmend die Gunst der Stunde nutzen, um zu seinem eigenen autonomen Einfamilienhaus zu kommen. Mehr war da nicht. Schon gar keine „revolutionäre Politik“ oder Strategie.

Und die Massen, das Volk? Die wollen demnächst ernährt werden. Materiell, durch was aber ? Da kann man noch so viele Cooperativen gründen, die Mittel fehlen. Guy Debord

Wladimir van Wilgenburg – Global Conflict Tracker – 23.5.2014

Kurdish areas of Turkey and the greater Middle East could experience increased violence in the coming months. In Turkey, peace talks between the government and the militant Kurdish Worker’s Party (PKK) have stalled since a ceasefire was agreed in March 2013. PKK members are refusing to withdraw from Turkey to Kurdish Iraq, where Kurds have a semiautonomous state in the northern part of the country.

How the Kurds Got Their Way / Economic Cooperation & the Middle East’s New Borders (FOREIGN AFFAIRS)

By Marina Ottaway & David Ottaway – From our May/June 2014 Issue

Foreign Affairs – The surge of ethnic and sectarian strife in Syria and across the Middle East has led a number of analysts to predict the coming breakup of many Arab states. This potential upending of the region’s territorial order has come to be known as “the end of Sykes-Picot,” a reference to the secret 1916 Anglo-French agreement to divide up the Middle Eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire into British and French zones of control.

TODAY’S MESOP SYRIA FLASH : THE REGIME ITSELF IS TOXIC

23-5-2014 – Reuters on Thursday flatly assessed that “Syria has made no progress in relinquishing a last batch of chemical weapons [CWs],” noting that the Bashar al-Assad regime is using claims of nearby fighting to excuse the “increasingly likely” scenario under which it would fail to meet a final deadline set for it to dismantle its CWs. weiterlesen / click to continue
