Die Ankündigung der neuen Biden-Administration, Wendy Sherman zur stellvertretenden US-Außenministerin gewählt zu haben, kippt das Gleichgewicht in Richtung einer Rückkehr zum Atomabkommen mit dem Iran, gegen das Israel wahrscheinlich mehr als jede andere Ernennung bis heute sein wird.
MESOPOTAMIA NEWS SHAME ON PKK & PYD IN SYRIA ! – Kurdish PKK militants fire on Syrian children while trying to recruit them forcibly
January 15, 2021 at 3:04 pm | Published in: MIDDLE EAST MONTOR – Members of the Kurdish Peoples’ Protection Units militia (YPG/PKK), 28 February 2015
Militants belonging to the Kurdish Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG) are reported to have opened fire on children who attempted to flee after they were recruited forcibly by the militia earlier this week, Anadolu has reported.
The YPG militants were in the process of rounding up over a dozen boys in the centre of Qamishli in Hasakah province on Tuesday when the unwilling recruits began to flee. The militants opened fire, injuring at least one.
The militia has long been reported to recruit children by force in the territories it controls. Militants are accused of raiding homes and whole villages to abduct the youngsters, who are then transported to training camps prior to fighting across north and eastern Syria and northern Iraq.
The practice of forcibly recruiting children, largely between the ages of 11 and 16, remains a significant stain on the reputation of the Kurdish militia, which wants to be seen as a legitimate entity in the region. This is particularly so because the YPG has been supported by the United States and European nations over the past few years in the fight against Daesh.
Under the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) Rome Statute, the recruitment and use of persons under 15 years of age for military purposes is regarded as a war crime and a violation of human rights. In the YPG’s case, this is compounded by the fact that the recruits are forced to get involved.
This incident comes at a time when the YPG has been suspected of assassinations and attacks on figures within eastern Syria. Over the past six weeks a number of local officials and tribal figures in Deir Ez-Zor province have been assassinated by unidentified gunmen; at least 70 have been killed in the province over the past five months.
While not all of these attacks have been confirmed as conducted by the YPG or its affiliate, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), local people and the Arab population have expressed their suspicions that they are likely to be behind them based on their track record in the region.

Nachdem Er ein Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien ausgehandelt hat, räumt Wladimir Putin nun der Entwicklung der Verkehrsverbindungen in der konfliktgeplagten Region Priorität ein. Fehim Tastekin – AL MONITOR – 15.01.2021

Spekulationen darüber, inwieweit die neue amerikanische Regierung den Iran besänftigen wird, sind weit verbreitet. Doch die Auswahl des designierten US-Präsidenten Joe Bidenfür relevante Spitzenpositionen scheint nicht viel Raum für Vermutungen zu lassen. Beginnen wir mit William Burns, Bidens Nominierung als CIA-Direktor. Burns ist derzeit Präsident des linken außenpolitischen Think Tanks Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, dessen Spender das von George Soros gegründete Netzwerk Open Society Foundations ist. Burns verfügt über jahrzehntelange Erfahrung als Karrierediplomat sowohl unter demokratischen als auch unter republikanischen Regierungen. Im Gegensatz zu falschen Hoffnungen ist dies jedoch kein gutes Zeichen. Burns ist ein langjähriger Mitarbeiter Bidens. Die beiden haben eng zusammengearbeitet, zuletzt, als letzterer Vizepräsident war und der erste stellvertretender Staatssekretär für Nahost-Angelegenheiten war, während der Regierungszeit des ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Barack Obama. Das Beunruhigendste an Burns, zu dessen Ämtern Botschafterposten in Russland und Jordanien gehörten, ist seine Schlüsselrolle bei verdeckten Gesprächen mit dem Regime in Teheran im Jahr 2013.

Speculation about the extent to which the incoming American administration will appease Iran has been rampant. But US President-elect Joe Biden’s picks for relevant top positions don’t seem to leave much room for conjecture.
Let’s start with William Burns, Biden’s nomination for CIA director. Burns currently serves as president of the left-wing foreign-policy think tank the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, one of whose donors is the Open Society Foundations network, established by George Soros.
