The world needs to know the horrendous dimensions of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide, and of the gross Apartheid Israeli maltreatment of 5.2 million Occupied Palestinians and in particular of the 2 million inmates of the blockaded and bombed Gaza Concentration Camp. A numbers-based summary of these ongoing atrocities will strengthen global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the intolerable obscenity of Apartheid Israel and its racist supporters.
On ne peut pas rester dans un camp militaire ou dans une brigade de gendarmerie bien barricadé de nos jours et espérer combattre le terrorisme. Il faut utiliser les mêmes méthodes que les terroristes, c’est à dire les attaquer en allant à l’offensive. C’est une guerre asymétrique. En 2010, j’ai suivi l’armée mauritanienne dans la forêt du Wagadou.
Nous avions mangé pendant deux jours de l’arachide. Il faut s’adapter au terrain c’est tout. La même année un colonel de l’armée malienne le colonel Gaston m’a permis de voir ses troupes en action contre les Jihadistes dans la forêt du Wagadou côté malien. Admirable. Hélas ça n’a pas continué.

The Eastern Mediterranean has always been an area of important political and cultural developments, dense migration, but also a hotspot of international tensions.

A conversation with Professor Jytte Klausen about her new book, ‘Western Jihadism: A Thirty Year History’, which charts the development of Al-Qaeda’s growth in the West.
In forensic and compelling detail, Professor Jytte Klausen shows how Islamist terrorism in Europe and North America has been driven, not by local grievances of Western Muslims, but by the strategic priorities of the international Salafi-jihadist revolutionary movement. That movement has adapted to Western repertoires of protest: agitating for armed insurrection and religious revivalism in the name of a warped version of Islam.
