MESOP NEWS TODAYS COMMENTARY : U.S., Turkey Set on a Collision Course

American support for Kurdish forces in Syria is a major flashpoint between the NATO allies  – By Yaroslav Trofimov

March 30, 2017 5:30 a.m. ET  THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

ISTANBUL—Turkey expected a honeymoon with President Donald Trump. Instead, it increasingly looks like Ankara and Washington are heading for a squabble, if not a divorce.For now, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has bitten his tongue and avoided attacking the Trump administration with the kind of inflammatory statements that he routinely hurls at European and regional leaders. The White House, too, has kept largely mum about Turkish affairs. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is holding meetings in Turkey on Thursday, aiming to maintain a bond that U.S. officials continue describing as vital. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=84294

 

 

MESOP NEWS TODAYS ANALYSIS : Mosul & the Limits of State Capacity

KIRK H. SOWELL – CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT -Despite the apparent military success in Mosul, the state’s ineffectiveness has driven a reliance on airstrikes and put pressure on Abadi’s government.

An American airstrike in Mosul on March 17, which appears to have led to over 200 civilian deaths, has increased attention on civilian casualties and sparked a frenzy within the Iraqi media. This controversy is an additional strain on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s effort to hold together the coalition against the Islamic State (IS) as he tries to manage the domestic and international aspects of the alliance while facing shortfalls in his government’s military and humanitarian operations.

MESOP NEWS INSIGHT: YPG MIGHT FALL UNDER Russian control !

No withdrawal from Syria before settlements built, local forces trained: Turkish FM

Hande Fırat – BRUSSELS – Hurriyet – 1 April 2017  – Turkey has “successfully accomplished” its months-old military operation into northern Syria, but troops will not be withdrawn soon from the regions under Ankara’s control as it seeks ensure life returns to normal in the area, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said.

“Residential areas need to be established there. The U.S. says the same thing. Second, local forces that will be deployed to provide protection here need to be trained and equipped. We will evaluate reducing the number of troops or withdrawing entirely only after local forces are fully able to control this area,” Çavuşoğlu told Ankara bureau chiefs aboard a flight to Brussels late on March 30.  Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=84319

MESOP NEWS  “AMERICAN PIE” : OUR MOST BELOVED PKK/PYD !   READ SAMPLER BY FRITZ LODGE / BULENT ALIRIZA & BARAK BARFI  (EXPERTS)

Why Syria’s Kurds Are America’s Key Ally | Fritz Lodge, The Cipher Brief
For the moment, the Kurds are the largest landowner in Syria beside the Assad regime. Kurdish troops comprise the core fighting component of the only force realistically capable of taking Raqqa from ISIS. In effect, Syria’s tiny Kurdish region has risen to become the key U.S. ally in the war-torn landscape and one of its most influential power brokers.

Expert Commentary

Syrian Kurds – Forgotten No More | Bulent Aliriza, Director and Senior Associate, Turkey Project, Center for Strategic and International Studies
“The question is, could Turkey move from its current position of hostility against the establishment of a Kurdish belt in northern Syria similar to the one in northern Iraq? Change its policy in the same way and come to terms with a Kurdish belt, and maybe even engage the Kurds through economic and diplomatic means?”

The Battle for Raqqa – It’s Complicated | Barak Barfi, Research Fellow, New America
Though the battle to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Mosul is slowly reaching its denouement, the campaign to take the jihadists’ Syrian stronghold of Raqqa has not experienced similar success. Insufficient combat-ready troops, a shortage of heavy artillery and ominous tensions between Kurds and Turks have come together to delay the capture of the city.

MESOP NEWS “BEST ARTICLE” : HEZBOLLAH WILL STAY IN SYRIA & HEZBOLLAH AND THE CHRISTIANS IN LEBANON

How the Syrian Civil War Has Transformed Hezbollah – The Lebanese Shiite militia, which has played a central role in defending the Assad regime, is now a powerful regional player.

By Jesse Rosenfeld – THE NATION  – March 30, 2017

Beirut, Lebanon— (….) The destruction the Syrian government and its allies brought to east Aleppo changed the course of the nearly six-year civil war. Indeed, it could mark the beginning of the end of what started in 2011 as a popular revolution against an authoritarian regime. By laying siege to the unofficial capital of the revolution—indiscriminately bombarding it into rubble, starving and displacing its residents, and committing massacres—Assad’s counter-revolution seems to have ensured the government’s future.         Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=84317

„Freitag“-Autorin Petra Reski Von der Mafia lernen heißt schweigen lernen –  Eine investigative Reporterin wird eingeschüchtert und von der Wochenzeitung „Der Freitag“ im Stich gelassen: Der Fall Petra Reski ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht ungewöhnlich.

01.04.2017, von Andreas Rossmann – FAZ – 1. April 2017

Jeder, der über die Mafia schreibt, tut das auf eigene Gefahr“, sagt der italienische Journalist Alberto Spampinato. Der Sizilianer weiß, wovon er spricht: Seit sein Bruder Giovanni 1972, da war er fünfundzwanzig und in seiner Heimatstadt Ragusa Korrespondent der Palermitaner Zeitung „L’Ora“, von der Cosa Nostra ermordet wurde, hat ihn das Thema nicht losgelassen.  Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=84298
