Report: What happened in Ghweran prison was due to the ignorance of Western countries

In the Times, Richard Spencer writes about the Hasaka attack, saying that “the West ignored the prisons of the jihadists, but it cannot ignore the Hasaka attack.”

The newspaper’s Middle East correspondent says: “No one can say that he was not aware of the matter. Those prisons were overcrowded and housed thousands of jihadists, and it was a scandal from the moment the organization of the so-called Islamic State was defeated.”

He added, “More than 12,000 prisoners are still in the custody of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, at least 2,000 of them are foreigners. In addition, there are 70,000 women and children in camps for the displaced under guard.”

The writer explains, “Britain and other European countries have turned their backs and refused to allow the militants or their wives and widows to return home even to face trial.”

No one should forget the contribution of the Turks to continuing to attack SDF-controlled territory, based on their own grievances against the Kurds, nor the Russians, for impoverishing eastern Syria by vetoing cross-border UN aid.

He explains, “The Syrian Democratic Forces call the area administered by the ‘Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria’, but this autonomy has a price. It is not recognized by the Assad regime in Damascus, and therefore by the United Nations, and it is not eligible for direct assistance, and Western governments claim It cannot legally allow extradition.

For a variety of diplomatic reasons, no one wants to accept the obvious: that Syria is now divided into obvious parts, of which eastern Syria is part. Instead, for their own geopolitical reasons, the powers that control the United Nations Security Council are happy to aggravate this legal black hole. security, and morality.

When US forces fought an earlier version of the jihadist threat in Iraq after the 2003 invasion, it began to turn into a quagmire, their captives similarly abandoned in odious prisons, where they formed the nucleus of what would become the Islamic State. It was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who led the ISIS takeover of A large part of Iraq and Syria in 2014, one of their prisoners. The next armed rebellion will also be planned from the semi-ruled areas of Iraq and Syria today. It may already have begun.”

In The Telegraph, international business editor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard wrote an article entitled “Putin will never have another opportunity like this to topple the European strategic order.”

The writer begins his article by saying, “It appears that the markets do not believe that Europe is close to the largest military conflict since 1945, although the American president tells us that such a collapse of the international system is more likely than others, and could occur once the ground freezes strong enough to invade armor for Ukraine”.

“The strange calm mood refutes the intelligence gathered by the British eavesdropping, and confirmed by US officials, that Vladimir Putin is planning to install a puppet government in Kiev.”

Either investors don’t care about Ukraine, or they think Mr. Putin is engaged in a ploy to extract concessions, deploying more than 125,000 near the Ukrainian border, along with attack helicopters and sending amphibious assault ships from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

“Putin has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with Europe over gas stocks since July.. Stocks are today 43% capacity, nearly 12% less than they should be at this point in January. But the shortfall in Gas falls short of a full-fledged coercive fist. Mild weather and LNG shipments have somewhat saved Europe from its misjudgments.”

“The Kremlin has the same partial advantage on the politico-military front,” Evans-Pritchard notes. “European NATO was disarmed during the austerity years and is now near rock bottom, while Russia has been rearming for a decade.”

According to the writer, “the conquest should include Kiev, Putin’s grand prize, to which he returns as the ancient cradle of the Russian nation in his legendary ethno-national version of history. In his 7,000-word manifesto, published last year, he considers the Ukrainian state an invention of Soviet cartographers.” “.

The writer quotes the Agency for Strategic and International Studies as saying that “Putin can go further and include all the countries, except for the Catholic lands. This former Habsburg enclave is the most non-Russian enclave in terms of character and it will be difficult to keep it over time.”

“Putin can try to take it all and declare a tripartite Slavic union of Russia with Ukraine and Belarus, and reunite ‘all Russia’.”

Putin can “ignore Europe,” according to the writer, but “what he should worry about is what’s happening inside Ukraine itself. He can’t know for sure how many people will agree to Slavic annexation.”

“The Kremlin has overwhelming air superiority, but the United States is increasing the ante by providing Ukraine with Stinger missiles capable of shooting down aircraft,” the author says.

We conclude with an investigation by Lamim Mursal and Zahra Nader in the Guardian, entitled: “My daughters have already sold, now my kidneys: winter in the slums of Afghanistan.”

The investigation tells the story of the struggle of 50-year-old Afghani Dilaram Rahmati, who has hospital fees to pay for two of her sons, one paralyzed and the other suffering from mental illness, as well as paying her husband’s medication.

“I was forced to sell two of my daughters, aged eight and six”, a few months ago, for 100,000 Afghanis (about £700) to families she doesn’t know, Rahmati says. Her two daughters will stay with her until they reach adulthood and then be handed over to strangers, according to the investigation.

“It is not uncommon in Afghanistan to arrange the sale of a girl in a future marriage and to raise her at home until it is time for her to leave. However, as the country’s economic crisis worsened, families increasingly reported handing over children at a young age because they could not feed them,” the investigation explains.

The investigation explains, “The kidney trade in Afghanistan has been growing for some time. But since the Taliban took power, the price and conditions under which the illegal trade in organs takes place has changed. The price of the kidney, which once ranged from $3,500 to $4,000, has fallen to less than $1,500. But the number of volunteers is rising.”

And the investigation adds, “Selling her daughters’ future was not the only painful decision that Rahti had to make,” but because of debt and hunger, “she had to sell her kidney.”

“Rahmati sold her right kidney for 150,000 Afghanis (£1,000). Her recovery from the operation was not good and now, like her husband, she is also ill, and she has no money left to see a doctor.”

The investigation states that “more than half of the country’s 40 million people face ‘severe levels of hunger, and nearly 9 million are at risk of starvation’, according to UNHCR. For a growing number of Afghans, selling kidneys is the way to go.” The only way to get money is to eat.”

“In the past five years, more than 250 official kidney transplants have been performed in hospitals in Herat province, and very few family members donated their organs,” says Asif Kabir, the province’s public health official. According to Kabir, the cost of a transplant is Kidneys 400,000 Afghanis in addition to the price of the kidneys.

But the real number of kidney operations may be much higher, while a doctor working in one of the hospitals where most of the transplants take place, who spoke on condition of anonymity, says, “Recently, the number of people who want to sell their kidneys has increased in Herat and most of them live in the displaced. The camps are in the slums of Herat. Clients also go to IDP camps to find a cheap college.”
