OPCW Will Deploy Fact-Finding Mission to #Douma, Syria
Tuesday, 10 April 2018
▻https://www.opcw.org/news/article/opcw-will-deploy-fact-finding-mission-to-douma-syria
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — 10 April 2018 — Since the first reports of alleged use of chemical weapons in Douma, Syrian Arab Republic, were issued, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been gathering information from all available sources and analysing it. At the same time, OPCW’s Director-General, Ambassador Ahmet Üzümcü, has considered the deployment of a Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) team to Douma to establish facts surrounding these allegations.
Today, the OPCW Technical Secretariat has requested the Syrian Arab Republic to make the necessary arrangements for such a deployment. This has coincided with a request from the Syrian Arab Republic and the Russian Federation to investigate the allegations of chemical weapons use in Douma. The team is preparing to deploy to Syria shortly.
Background
Set up in 2014, the on-going mandate of the OPCW Fact Finding Mission (FFM) is “to establish facts surrounding allegations of the use of toxic chemicals, reportedly chlorine, for hostile purposes in the Syrian Arab Republic”. The OPCW cannot and will not release information about an on-going investigation. This policy exists to preserve the integrity of the investigatory process and its results as well as to ensure the safety and security of OPCW experts and personnel involved. All parties are asked to respect the confidentiality parameters required for a rigorous and unimpeded investigation.
As the implementing body for the Chemical Weapons Convention, the OPCW oversees the global endeavour to permanently and verifiably eliminate chemical weapons. Since the Convention’s entry into force in 1997 – and with its 192 States Parties – it is the most successful disarmament treaty eliminating an entire class of weapons of mass destruction.
Over ninety-six per cent of all chemical weapon stockpiles declared by possessor States have been destroyed under OPCW verification. For its extensive efforts in eliminating chemical weapons, the OPCW received the 2013 Nobel Prize for Peace.

Climate change and the Syrian civil war revisited (Political Geography, Sept. 2017)
►http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0962629816301822
We find that there is no clear and reliable evidence that anthropogenic #climate change was a factor in northeast Syria’s 2006/07–2008/09 drought; we find that, while the 2006/07–2008/09 drought in northeast Syria will have contributed to migration, this migration was not on the scale claimed in the existing literature, and was, in all probability, more caused by economic liberalisation than drought; and we find that there is no clear and reliable evidence that drought-related migration was a contributory factor in civil war onset. In our assessment, there is thus no good evidence to conclude that global climate change-related drought in #Syria was a contributory causal factor in the country’s civil war.

To the extent the dominant narrative got the Syrian case “wrong”, it will ultimately make it harder for scholars and scientists to communicate the very real economic and security implications of climate change more broadly.

As my colleague Alex Emmons reported last month, Syrian activists and first responders accused the United States of killing dozens of civilians in an airstrike that mistakenly targeted a mosque in the rebel-held village of al-Jinah on the evening of March 16.

Confronted with these claims, a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Captain Jeff Davis, told The Intercept that they were mistaken. “The area was extensively surveilled prior to the strike in order to minimize civilian casualties,” Davis said. “We deliberately did not target the mosque.”
As evidence, Davis provided an aerial photograph of the building destroyed in the attack, identified by U.S. officials as a “partially constructed community meeting hall.”

Not Just for the Sake of Syrians, but for Our Sake
Precisely the Arabs in Israel, who are fighting discrimination and oppression, must not stutter when it comes to the injustices perpetrated across the border

What can the Arabs in Israel do for their Syrian brethren? They have no army, no diplomatic clout, no logistical capabilities that could allow them to offer civilian support. The only thing that remains is moral support – words. “You have neither horses nor treasure to give … so let the words rejoice if circumstances be grim,” said the poet Al-Mutanabbi. But the Arab leadership in Israel has failed in the realm of words as well.
The truth is that even if the Arabs in Israel manage to give verbal support to Syria’s citizens, that will not change the balance of power at all between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, or between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s murderers and the fanatics backed by Qatar. In the situation we’re in, the battle over what position should be taken toward Syria is a battle over the moral image of Arab society in Israel, over its attitude toward the terrible massacre going on across the border.
>> Israeli Arab party fails to condemn Assad’s gas attack in Syria, slams U.S. strikes <<
And if in the hard days of the chemical-weapons assault on Khan Sheikhoun almost none of the leaders of Arab society in Israel saw fit to condemn the Syrian regime, that’s cause for concern. Even those who did condemn it, by the way, did so weakly, to the point where it could not be said whether the statements were condemnation or commentary.
Condemnation of Assad produces furious responses from his supporters, as if he were Mother Theresa, censured out of nowhere. But Assad was part of a bloody regime even before the appearance of ISIS and the Nusra Front. On June 26, 1980, when Hafez Assad waited on the steps of the presidential palace to welcome an African guest, two bombs were thrown at him, miraculously missing their target. Revenge was quick to follow. The next day, June 27, at dawn, a group of some 60 soldiers, led by Muin Nassif, deputy of Rifaat Assad, the president’s brother, boarded helicopters and flew to the Tadmor Prison in the heart of the desert. There, the soldiers broke up into smaller groups and opened fire on the prisoners locked in their cells. Five hundred prisoners were murdered in cold blood. That story appears in Patrick Seale’s biography of the senior Assad.
The Syrian war shakeout is changing the Mideast’s balance of power - Middle East News
Turkey’s intervention has created a rift with Iran, Jordan-Syria ties are tightening and America’s absence could weaken the Saudis. The alliances emerging in Syria will determine the fate the region.

Secondary relationships born of the Syrian civil war could have a greater impact on the future of the country and the region than the war itself. While the warring parties are busy holding onto and expanding territorial gains, finding funds and arms and jockeying for position in future negotiations, the smaller players are crafting long-range strategies that will divide the region à la the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement.
The secondary relationships are alliances and rivalries that developed between global powers such as Russia and the United States, and between local powers such as Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. But the term is inaccurate in a sense because the Syrian war has long become a proxy war in which the payer of the bills dictates the military movements while changing proxies based on battlefield success.
More importantly, the alliances between the sponsors and “their” militias create the balance of political forces between the powers. For example, Russia uses the Kurds in Syria as a bargaining chip against Turkey, whose cooperation with the Free Syrian Army creates a rift between Ankara and Tehran. Meanwhile, Jordan’s strikes on the Islamic State in southern Syria boost the Russian-Jordanian coalition and Jordan’s ties with the Assad regime − and everyone is looking ahead to "the day after.”
The latest development puts Turkish-Iranian relations to the test. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference a week ago Sunday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called on Iran to stop threatening the region’s stability and security. The remark wasn’t only unusually blunt but also seemed to come from an American talking-points page. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi responded the next day, warning that while Turkey was an important neighbor, “there is a certain cap to our patience.”
Tehran and Ankara are deeply divided over the Assad regime, and particularly over whether the Syrian president should stay on after a negotiated settlement. But these disagreements didn’t affect the two countries’ bilateral trade of some $10 billion a year.
Iran was the first country to denounce the failed coup attempt in Turkey last July, and President Hassan Rohani is on track for a fourth visit to Ankara in April. Tehran and Ankara share an interest in preventing the establishment of an independent Kurdish region in Syria that could inspire the Kurds in Iran and Turkey.
But Ankara and Tehran are each deeply suspicious of the other’s strategic ambitions. Turkey believes that Iran seeks to turn Iraq and Syria into Shi’ite states, while Iran is sure that Turkish President Recet Tayyip Erdogan dreams of reestablishing the Ottoman Empire.
The Iranians were apprehensive about the liberation, by Turkish forces and the Free Syrian Army, of al-Bab, a city around 30 kilometers from Aleppo, even though the defeated party was the Islamic State. The Iranians were worried because control over al-Bab, whose liberation the Free Syrian Army announced Friday, opens up the route critical to retaking Raqqa, the Islamic State’s capital in Syria. Control over al-Bab is also key for taking control of the Iraq-Syria border, which Tehran views as critical.

Syria deal draws Iran into alliance with Russia and Turkey - The Washington Post
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/syria-deal-draws-iran-into-alliance-with-russia-and-turkey/2017/01/24/5336057c-e199-11e6-a419-eefe8eff0835_story.html
Under the agreement’s terms, Russia, Turkey and Iran are to establish an unspecified form of trilateral mechanism to enforce the cease-fire. The three powers stressed that future talks on a political settlement to the conflict are to be conducted under the guidance of the United Nations.
Perhaps most important, the deal shifted the parameters of the war by stating the parties’ determination to “fight jointly” against the Islamic State and Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate, which are to be separated from rebel groups that participated in the talks.
That gives Iran a role in a new alliance against the Islamic State, possibly complicating any future attempts by the Trump administration to team up with Moscow against the militant organization.
It also cements Turkey’s move away from supporting the rebels’ war to topple Assad, toward a policy focused on counterterrorism.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards reaps economic rewards in Syria | Middle East Eye
▻http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/irans-revolutionary-guards-reaps-economic-rewards-syria-1697657278
Iran’s government and entities close to the elite Revolutionary Guards have signed major economic contracts with Syria, reaping what appear to be lucrative rewards for helping President Bashar al-Assad regain control of parts of his country from rebels.
An opposition group condemned the telecommunications and mining deals signed with Iran, Damascus’s main regional ally, as “looting” of the Syrian people and the country’s wealth by the “Iranian extremist militias”.
Syria’s economy is shrinking fast as industrial and agricultural output falls after six years of civil war, and almost two-thirds of the population lives in extreme poverty.

The plan has been coordinated by senior government and security officials in Tehran, Baghdad and Damascus, all of whom defer to the head of the spearhead of Iran’s foreign policy, the Quds force of the Revolutionary Guards, headed by Major General Qassem Suleimani, who has run Iran’s wars in Syria and Iraq. It involves demographic shifts, which have already taken place in central Iraq and are under way in northern Syria. And it relies heavily on the support of a range of allies, who are not necessarily aware of the entirety of the project but have a developed vested interest in securing separate legs.

Avec la prochaine libération d’Alep, le rêve des charlatans de la révolution syrienne vire au cauchemar, il prend des allures d’enfer dantesque. Après des années de proclamations ronflantes sur la « victoire imminente » des insurgés, cette aventure qui n’avait de révolution que le nom tourne au désastre. Elle s’effondre de toutes parts, disparaissant sous ses propres décombres. Après les rodomontades, voici la débandade ! Hagards, hirsutes, les desperados du takfir, exhumant de leur trou leurs carcasses fatiguées, finiront par se rendre les uns après les autres. Alep devait être la « capitale de la révolution syrienne ». Erreur. Elle est le cimetière d’une contre-révolution sponsorisée par Riyad. Abandonnant le terrain face à l’armée nationale, les mercenaires wahhabites, désormais, ont le choix entre la mort ou la reddition.

Il en résulta une farce sanglante, désormais ensevelie sous les gravats de cette ville martyrisée par une guerre impitoyable que provoqua l’appétit de domination impérialiste allié au fanatisme sponsorisé de desperados crétinisés jusqu’au dernier centimètre cube de leur cerveau.

Une rhétorique religieuse qui transcende les clivages
Qui sont les rebelles syriens ? par Bachir El-Khoury (Aperçu)
Après quatre ans de guerre, la bataille d’Alep reste cruciale pour l’avenir de la Syrie. Assiégés depuis septembre par les forces progouvernementales dans la partie est de la ville, les insurgés appartiennent essentiellement à des mouvements islamistes. Mais leurs milices n’ont pas le monopole de la radicalisation, de l’intégration de combattants étrangers ou du discours religieux.
La multitude et la diversité des acteurs armés qui participent à la bataille d’Alep, et dont beaucoup viennent de l’étranger, expliquent la durée et l’extension du conflit syrien. Pour rendre compte de la situation, il importe d’éviter les simplifications dans la terminologie employée au sujet des combattants. Identifier tant les troupes « rebelles » que les forces qui soutiennent l’armée régulière suppose aussi de comprendre leurs idéologies et leurs projets politiques. Les informations recueillies auprès de chercheurs et de personnes présentes sur le terrain peuvent cependant diverger, en particulier quant au nombre de combattants. Il convient donc de les prendre avec précaution.
S’agissant de l’opposition armée au régime de M. Bachar Al-Assad, on discerne trois types de groupes : ceux qui combattent de façon autonome, ceux qui fusionnent entre eux et ceux qui coordonnent leurs assauts à travers une « chambre d’opérations » (ghourfat al’âmaliyyat). À Alep-Est, où vivraient encore environ 250 000 personnes, ainsi que dans les bastions rebelles proches, deux « chambres d’opérations » principales rassemblent au total entre 10 000 et 20 000 hommes. La première, baptisée Jaïch Al-Fatah (Armée de la conquête), représente près d’un tiers des soldats rebelles. Elle est notamment composée du Front Fatah Al-Cham, l’ex-Front Al-Nosra (la branche syrienne d’Al-Qaida), et de ses alliés.
Plus modérée, la coalition Fatah Halab (Conquête d’Alep) rassemble plusieurs factions proches des Frères musulmans ou affiliées à l’Armée syrienne libre (ASL). Cette coalition représenterait environ la moitié des effectifs qui combattent le régime et ses alliés dans la région, selon Fabrice Balanche, maître de conférences à l’université Lyon-II. Les 15 à 20 % restants correspondent à une dizaine de petits groupes indépendants sans idéologie clairement affichée, qui gravitent autour de ces deux pôles majeurs (voir la carte ci-dessous).
