Baathists began collaborating with al Qaeda in Iraq – the early incarnation of what would become Islamic State – soon after Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003. Saddam had run a brutal police state. The U.S. occupation dissolved the Baath Party and barred senior and even middling party officials from joining the new security services. Some left the country, others joined the anti-American insurgency.

Quand on est en tournée pour tenter de convaincre les dirigeants d’Asie centrale de nettoyer la merde déféquée sciemment et consciencieusement par les #Etats-Unis dans la région on peut bien fermer les yeux sur ce genre de broutille.
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: An American reporter was escorted out of the room where U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was meeting Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov in the “Silk Road” city of Samarkand on Sunday (November 1). The reporter was seeking a response to the U.S. State Department’s critique of the Uzbek human rights record. Karimov ignored the query and Kerry began responding, but the reporter was pushed out of the room before she finished what she was saying. International human rights bodies list Karimov’s government as among the world’s most repressive. But such issues are not likely to dominate Kerry’s agenda. He is on a tour of central Asia and is seeking to persuade governments that Washington’s interest in the region, which lies to the north of Afghanistan, is not waning. That message has taken on greater importance as Washington draws down its forces in Afghanistan, concerns mount about the threat to the region from Islamic State, and Russia, fresh from forays into Ukraine and Syria, reasserts its influence. It was Kerry’s first meeting as secretary of state with #Karimov, who has ruled mostly Muslim Uzbekistan for a quarter of a century since shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

INSIGHT-The “Jungle” migrants of Calais: a day in the life
CALAIS, France, Aug 4 (Reuters) - For most of the 3,000 inhabitants of the “Jungle”, a shanty town on the sand dunes of France’s north coast, the climax of each day is the nightly bid to sneak into the undersea tunnel they hope will lead to new life in Britain.

This Is The Story Of The Migrants In Calais
Migrants in Calais have been painted by the tabloid press as a menacing group who are breaking into lorries and causing traffic jams. Meanwhile, the town’s mayor has said it can’t cope with the numbers. But who are they, where have they come from, and why did they leave their homelands? BuzzFeed News travelled to Calais to find out.

PÉTROLE : RUSSES ET SAOUDIENS D’ACCORD POUR NE RIEN FAIRE
Saudis signal no push for oil cut as market to ’stabilize itself’
BY ALEX LAWLER AND AMENA BAKR
VIENNA Wed Nov 26, 2014 5:17am EST
▻http://www.reuters.com
OPEC leader Saudi Arabia signaled on Wednesday it was unlikely to push for a major change in oil output at the producer group’s meeting this week, a day after Russia refused to cooperate in any production cut. Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said he expected the oil market “to stabilize itself eventually” but did not comment on talks with Russia held on Tuesday, which produced no firm pledge from Moscow to help support flagging oil prices.
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh said some OPEC members, although not Iran itself, were gearing up for a battle over market share and insisted that non-OPEC producers needed to participate in any OPEC-led output cut.
“The most important thing for all of us is the unity and solidarity of OPEC, and in this situation I believe we need to have the contribution of non-OPEC producers for managing the market,” Zangeneh told reporters.
“Some OPEC members believe that this is the time where we need to defend market share ... All the experts in the market believe we have oversupply in the market and next year we will have more oversupply,” he added.
OPEC’s meeting on Thursday will be one of its most crucial in recent years, with oil prices having tumbled some 30 percent since June to below $79 per barrel due to booming U.S. shale oil output and slower global economic growth.
Among the 12 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Venezuela and Iraq have called for output cuts. Naimi has not commented on what the group should do.
OPEC usually faces huge tensions from within but as talks over Iran’s nuclear program ended with no breakthrough on Monday, most members felt relief they will not have to deal with a deluge of Iranian oil, currently hit by Western sanctions.
Non-OPEC member Russia, which produces 10.5 million barrels per day (bpd) or 11 percent of global oil, came to Tuesday’s meeting amid hints it might agree to cut output as it suffers from oil’s price fall and Western sanctions over Ukraine.
But as that meeting with Naimi and officials from Venezuela and non-OPEC member Mexico ended, Russia’s most influential oil official, state firm Rosneft’s (ROSN.MM) head Igor Sechin, emerged with a surprise message - Russia will not reduce output even if oil falls to $60 per barrel.
Sechin added that he expected low oil prices to do more damage to producing nations with higher costs, in a clear reference to the shale boom in the United States.
Many at OPEC were taken by surprise by Sechin’s suggestion that Russia - in desperate need of oil prices above $100 per barrel to balance its budget - was ready for a price war.
“Gulf states are less bothered about a price drop compared to other OPEC members,” an OPEC source close to Gulf thinking said, adding that non-OPEC members ultimately needed to cut output if they expected the group to defend prices.
OPEC produces 30 million bpd, or a third of global oil. Its own publications have shown in recent months that global supply will exceed demand by more than 1 million bpd in the first half of next year.
While the statistics speak in favor of a cut, the build-up to the OPEC meeting on Thursday has seen one of the most heated debates in years about the next policy step for the group.
While price hawks such as Venezuela have urged an immediate output cut, some Saudi officials told private briefings in recent months that the kingdom was prepared to withstand low prices - possibly $70 a barrel - for a prolonged period.
Those messages have sparked conspiracy theories ranging from Saudis seeking to curtail the U.S. oil boom, which needs high prices to remain profitable, to Riyadh looking to undermine Iran and Russia due to their support of Saudi’s arch-enemy, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. [ID:nL6N0T85FW]
“I think even Saudi Arabia doesn’t know yet whether a cut can be achieved,” said Virendra Chauhan, an analyst at the Energy Aspects think tank.

C’est sur une pratique incroyable qu’a enquêté pendant dix-huit mois la journaliste d’investigation Megan Twohey, de l’agence de presse Reuters : le « #child_exchange ». Dans un reportage interactif en cinq parties dévoilé progressivement du 9 au 11 septembre, la journaliste met au jour un réseau de groupes Facebook et Yahoo ! permettant aux parents américains lassés des enfants qu’ils ont adoptés de les donner à d’autres familles, en dehors de toute légalité.
Le nom de cette pratique, le « #private_re-homing » (changement de foyer privé), est directement inspiré du marché des animaux de compagnie. Mais justifier un « don » humain par un honnête « nous détestons cet enfant de 11 ans originaire du Guatemala » ou par les troubles du comportement dont est victime une adolescente libérienne de 16 ans semble nettement plus contestable.
