<span style="font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">غروب المنيه :كتيب صغير نشره الحزب الاشتراكي الكوردستاني عام ١٩٨٩ وطبع بمطبعة سيدا صالح اليوسفي في مقر قيادة الحزب في منطقة كأولان في جبل قنديل. الكتيب فيه شعر كتبه شاعر شاب من كرماشان في كوردستان ايران اسمه ريبوار وكان عمره انذاك ٢٠ عاما وكان يكتب أشعاره باللهجات الكورانيه واللوريه وترجم النص كاكه عبد الله قره داغي الى العربية وكتب مقدمة طويلة للكتيب وقام بتعريف الشاعر ريبوار وقيم شعره</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">نشرت جريدة الغارديان البريطانية لمراسلها الشهير ديفيد هيرست يوم 4.4.1988 تحقيقا حول جريمة حلبجة البشعة والتي اشرف عليها علي كيمياوي يوم 16.3.1988 وزار الصحفي المستشفى الذي خصص لضحايا المجزرة في ايران ورافق تقريره صورة لطفل يتألم من حروقه. لقد تأثر دانا (٤سنوات) وساره (٧سنوات) جدا كانوا على علم ودراية بجريمة حلبجة حيث كانوا مع امهم وعايشوا رسم وطبع وتوزيع بوستر حلبجه المؤثر </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">وبما اننا كنا على أبواب عيد الفصح حيث تقدم العوائل بيض معمول من الشكولاته للأطفال بدلا من البيض الحقيقي الملون وهي عادة تعود تاريخيا الى الفايكينغ .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">كان الفايكينغ يقدمون البيض كهدايا لإحدى آلهاتهم لان البيض دليل على استمرارية الحياة والبقاء وبمرور الزمن انتقلت هذه الطقوس الدينية الى الديانة المسيحية وانا على ثقة بإنه احتفال لقدوم الربيع وانتهاء موسم البرد والليالي الطويلة .صورة الطفل الكوردي الجريح و المتألم والذي ربما فقد عائلته بالكامل في حلبجه في جريدة الغارديان والتي ظهرت صباح يوم نشرها(4.4.1988) على طاولة فطورنا قد دفعت أولادي على ان يقترحوا بل ويصروا على إرسال هداياهم اي بيض الشيكولاته الى ذلك الطفل بالفعل وضعت امهم البيض في طرد بريدي وأرسلته الى السفارة الايرانية في لندن وأرفقتها برسالة وكارت متمنين فيها بالشفاء العاجل للولد المنكوب ، وبعد اربعة ايام من إرسال الرساله والطرد الى السفاره الايرانيه اي يوم(8.4.1988)استلمنا رساله من اخنزاده القائم بالأعمال الايراني في لندن يوعد فيها دانا وساره بإنه سيتأكد شخصيا من وصول هديتهم للطفل الجريح والذي لم يأبه احدا بذكر اسمه.ان قصة هدية الاطفال الى الطفل الجريح وجدت طريقها الى جريدة الاطلاعات الايرانية اولا وبعدها بأيام استلمنا العشرات من الرسائل من ايران يشكرون فيها أولادي عل هذه البادرة ومازلنا نحتفظ بهذه الرسائل والتي استلمناها قبل اثنان وثلاثون عاما وفي مثل هذه الايام من عام 1988. القائم بالأعمال الايراني ارسل رساله اخرى بتاريخ 29.7.1988 يشكر فيه أولادي ويخبرهم ان هديتهم ومبادرتهم الجميلة كان لها صداها في وسائل الإعلام الايرانية</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">أخذت رسائل كثيرة تتوالى علينا وخاصة من كورد ايران يشكر فيها مُرسليها مبادرة اولادي الإنسانية . للعلم ان وسائل الإعلام الايرانيه لم تذكر بأن والد الطفلين"الإنكليزيين" هو كوردي "انا". ومن دون علم الشاعر ريبوار بأصول دانا وسارا فقد كتب قصيدته باللهجة اللورية يشكرهما على مبادرتهم الإنسانية</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ووجدت قصيدة الشاعر الشاب طريقها الى كاولان في جبال قنديل. قام عبدالله قرداغي هناك بترجمة القصيدة وكتب مقدمة الكتاب والتي كانت اطول من القصيدة نفسها. كتب عبدالله قرداغي في مقدمة الكتاب قائلا "بأن هناك نقطة لابد من الإشارة اليها، موضوع القصيدة ، اي مبادرة الطفلين، خبر استقاه الشاعر من الصحف الايرانية، وبما ان الصحف نشرت الخبر كمبادرة لطفلين بريطانيين، فقد تصور الشاعر ريبوار انهما انكليزيان، ومن هذه المفارقة اكتسبت القصيدة حرارتها،والحقيقة هي انهما من اب كوردي جرد من جنسيته العراقية عام(١٩٧٤)،اما أمهما فهي السيده البريطانية الدكتورة ديان وهي بالتأكيد صاحبة المبادرة الاصلية، كما انها فنانه ابدعت بوسترا عن فاجعة حلبجه واهم من استلم البوستر هم جميع اعضاء البرلمان الاوربي ".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">في مقطع من القصيدة قال ريبوار.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: large;">" كيف عشعش أطفال كوردستان في ذاكرتكما وقررتما ان تبعثا </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">انا متأكد بأن شقيقي الراحل عادل مراد كان صاحب فكرة الكتيب في كاولان في جبال</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: right;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have always kept the few old letters and
papers that are a connection to my family home in Baghdad where I was <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brought up. These few documents have travelled
to many places with me and I can truly say that I have carried my memories in
my suitcase. One particular letter, written by sister in 1974, has prompted me
to write this as it is her account of the suffering of one family under
Saddam’s regime and has survived because it was written in a refugee camp in
Iran and posted to the UK. As she was writing I was a postgraduate student in
Britain and hoping to receive news of my family from the Red Cross as I had
asked that organisation for help in tracing them as they were missing. All I
knew was that my family had been taken from our home by Saddam’s regime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When I received this letter I was overjoyed to
know where they were and that they were safe, albeit in a refugee camp.
Following the fall of Saddam there were many legal investigations into the
crimes carried out under his regime but these were just a fraction of the
crimes carried out in the 35 years of is rule. The regime would confiscate any
documents, both legal and personal, of its victims. In the case of Faili Kurds
they were forcibly removed from their homes and all their belongings would be
destroyed leaving them with only the clothes they wore as they were taken to
whatever fate awaited them. The courts in Iraq today request documented
evidence of ownership of assets lost to Saddam so there are countless families
who have never regained their homes and wealth because their proof of ownership
was systematically destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My sister’s hand written account, dated 19<sup>th</sup>
May 1974, was written in the town of Shino in Iranian Kurdistan and details
what happened to my family and others who were forcibly removed from their
homes. This crime was never investigated but it needs at least to be recorded
as she witnessed it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My dear brother,<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Saddam’s secret police forcibly
entered our home at 2.30am on April 21<sup>st</sup> 1974. They dragged us out
of our beds and took us to the main security department in Baghdad in our night
clothes. We joined another 16 families of women, children and elderly people.
In total</span></i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> <i>there were 120 people in the room that
night and most of them used to work for those who were the Kurdish
representatives in Baghdad. We were one of the four Faili families taken that
night. Within a few hours we were all loaded onto Russian military transport
lorries and driven north out of Baghdad. In Baghdad in April the nights were
warm but as we travelled north we were very cold in our night clothes on the
open lorries and we all huddled together to try to keep warm. The children
suffered during the journey and the adults were all afraid that the army
lorries could be targeted as the war was going on. After 8 days in the lorries,
and some of the way on foot, we arrived at the summer resort of Shaqlawa, 50 km
northeast of Erbil. Here we were taken to the military camp that was close to
the main offices of General Taha El-Shakarji who was the leader of the Iraqi
army in the North. The old men and the few young men who were in our group were
singled out by the Ba’athist officers and lined up. We all realised that these hard
core Ba’athist officers intended to have the men shot and the families started
to scream and cry out loud and the noise brought General El-Shakarji out of his
office and, with his officer’s baton in his hand and sunglasses on, he came
towards us shouting at the officers. He protested against the commands from
Baghdad and the inhumanity of those in charge there, calling them the murderers
of women and children. He was so upset that when one of the women insulted him
in front of the others he took no notice as he knew we had been so badly
treated. He told us that three of the families had to be sent back to Baghdad
and we realised that among these families were some individuals who were
collaborators with the Ba’athist regime. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The rest of us were taken to an
orchard by a ravine that was within range of the weapons of the Peshmerga on
the other side and the officers ordered their men to shoot at the Peshmerga and
of course this resulted in firing coming towards us. Their plan now was simply
to have us all shot by the Kurds across the river. As night came in two of the
young men quietly slipped across the ravine to the Peshmerga, to tell them
about the families on the other side. They risked their lives in doing so and
their bravery resulted in the Kurdish fighters coming across the ravine and
taking us back across with them to safety. Very early the next morning the
orchard was bombed by an Iraqi military plane and had we been there the
families of several Kurdish leaders would have perished. The Ba’athist plan to

and belongings in Baghdad were systematically stolen or destroyed by the

sister of our mother, whose husband was an Arab, went to the auction of our

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My father was illiterate and my sister would
always write for him and she had enclosed passport size photographs of him, my
mother and herself. What she did not write was that he had been killed by
Saddam’s men, nearly four month’s before, on January 1<sup>st</sup> 1974,
during a spate of killings by the regime using hit and run car ‘accidents’. In
my father’s case his body was taken away by his killers and returned two or
three hours later. He had been on his way home from the day at our shop and my
family discovered that the day’s takings were not in his pockets. In addition
his silver fob watch and chain that he always wore was missing from his
waistcoat s was his ring and wristwatch. Not content with murdering him his
assailants had robbed him too! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sister
and my mother were alone in Shino and I did not learn of my father’s death
until 18 months after he was killed. Even then it was only because a friend in
London accidentally mentioned his death. There were not many kurds in Britain
in those days and my brother had told them not to mention outr father’s death
as my family had not wanted me to know when I was alone in Britain and
struggling finish my degree while I still had some finances left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My sister had not written everything about that
journey in her letter but she often mentions the story of a Syrian woman who
was with them. This lady had two young sons of a few years of age and a baby
girl who she was still nursing. When they were forced to walk into Iran the
mother found that she could not carry her three children and she left the baby
girl under a tree and walked on with her sons. My sister and other were behind
her and without the mother knowing they picked up the baby. Somehow my mother
had obtained sugar which she mixed with water and, after dipping a rag in the
sugar solution she would put it to the baby’s mouth for her to suck. Time and
again she did that as they carried the child for over two days. When they
reached the refugee camp they saw the mother with her sons and they went up to
her and placed her daughter in her arms. My sister said she could not describe
the look on the mother’s face to have the daughter she had left to die returned
to her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If forcing Kurdish families to leave Iraq for
Iran had been the sole aim of the Ba’athists in 174 then it was only a matter a
matter of a few hours drive to the Iranian border. It did not necessitate a
journey of 8 days in lorries and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the
cold and suffering people experienced. What the regime wanted was to make an
example of the families of those who stood against them and to make them suffer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While justice was brought against the leading
figures of Saddam’s regime there are countless others who were never brought to
justice. No one was ever brought to court for murdering my father, stealing his
money and his watch, or destroying our home and trying to wipe out all records
of our existence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had completed my PhD in the field or physiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Liverpool University in October 1974 but I did not attend the graduation ceremony on March 21st 1975 to receive my graduation certificate as I could not pay for the hire of the robes that I would have to wear. I was as poor as the proverbial church mouse. I continued to carry out further research that was a natural progression from the subject area of my PhD and oversaw the undergraduates' practicals as a means of earning some money. At the same time my supervisor, Mr. Alan Singleton, and I applied for a three year research grant for postdoctoral research from the Agricultural Research Council (ARC). However financial changes resulting from the change in the price of oil had a marked effect on financial matters and the ARC and other funding bodies were forced to reduce the grants they could award and our application was refused.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I now found myself in the predicament of no further financial support, limited finances remaining, my family were refugees in Iran and my brother was in Damascus with Jalal Talabani creating the Patrotic Union of Kurdistan, PUK in May 1975. In addition Dianne had completed her research and had gone to work for Pfizer Ltd. in Sandwich,Kent. In addition I was constantly receiving letters from the Home Office asking when I was leaving the UK while a local police officer came to the field station on a regular basis to check what I was doing. My finances were so bad that I could not buy the two to three packets of Rothman cigarettes I smoked every day. Instead I invested in a cheap pipe and an ounce of pipe tobacco that I carried every day. The pipe was usually in my mouth through the day but not lit and it was more of a comfort to me.They say that every cloud as a silver lining and in June the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Fitzpatrick, called me to his office. He had recently returned from the World Veterinary Conference which had been held in Greece that year. At the conference Prof Fitzpatrick had met Dr. Abubakir Saghar, the newly appointed Dean of the new Faculty of Veterinary Science, Tripoli University, Libya. Dr Sagher was an agriculturist who had studied animal nutrition at the Royal College of Veterinary Medicine, London and his wife had been secretary to the Dean of the Royal College. He wanted to model the new faculty in Libya on the standards of the Royal College and wanted a veterinarian to hep him do so. Prof Fitzpatrick put forward my name to him as someone to help him establish his new faculty. In July I travelled to London to meet Dr Sagher at his hotel and, as he watched the tennis at Wimbledon, we discussed my recruitment to the faculty which at the time was housed in a small, italian villa in a large, confiscated orchard. He was the only staff member plus a small admin office and a few labourers. A few weeks later I received a telex message to take to the Libyan Embassy in London to obtain a visa. I was given a visa in my expired Iraqi passport. I was then in a dilemma as to whether to go straight to Libya or, go to Syria to see my brother and perhaps stay with the newly established Kurdish movement.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With some difficulty I managed to purchase a ticket to Damascus and arrived there on October 12th 1975. I joined my brother and our relative Razak Faili in the small flat in the Muhajareen district of Damascus that they shared with a third person, whom I shall refer to as Mr X. Adel and Razak Faili were two of the five founding members of the PUK and their flat contained left wing and photographic memorabilia e.g. posters of Che Guevara and Lenin. The next morning I accompanied them to the venue where they were holding the daily meetings of the PUK, its members numbering some three dozen or so. I was warmly welcomed by Jalal himself, and my arrival added to the number of PhD graduates in the PUK. The PUK now had a veterinarian and an historian in their gathering in Damascus! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The topic of discussion was the collapse of the Kurdish revolution earlier in March 1975 when, at a meeting in Algeria, Saddam and the Shah embraced and kissed and the Kurds were the first victims yet again. They discussed how they would be more careful in the future, there would not be any nepotism, involvement of family in politics and there would be no corruption. They had many other pipe dreams that were also discussed. They would talk about their pipe dreams as I sat, and very often slept, with my empty pipe in my mouth as I did not have the money for tobacco. After the meeting we usually went to the Rodah Coffee Shop. After several days in Damascus I felt that I was becoming a burden to them. I had no money and they were poor too. I spoke to Jalal Talabani about my situation and told him of the post in Libya and he was pleased to hear that I had work there. He told me that he was going to Libya himself very soon and that I could travel with him. He told me that I would be of more use to the PUK in Libya than sitting in Damascus sucking my empty pipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On November 7th we left together for Tripoli and we were met by someone who took us to the Shaati Hotel which was the biggest hotel in Libya at that time. We were given adjacent rooms and spent two weeks there. I had a feeling that Jalal had been there before and had met Ghadaffi who had given him 'a green light' for the formation of a new political party in Kurdistan. A few months later Adel arrived in Tripoli as the Libyans had promised the PUK that they would buy them a radio station from France. Adel told me that Mr X, who had been in the flat with them in Damascus, and was a senior member of PUK, was frequently visiting Turkey and the security forces in Damascus airport had picked him up on one occasion. The Syrian security forces were very good at obtaining confessions from people and Mr X confessed to being an Iraqi regime's spy inside the PUK. So Mr X and his two brothers stayed in a Syrian prison for several years until Saddam made his reconciliation visit to President Assad, Senior. Saddam demanded that he took the three brothers back with him in his plane to Iraq. Adel told me that Mr X had accused me of being a spy for the British and that I had been sent to spy on the PUK. The evidence for this was my pipe! The fact that I had a pipe, although I had no tobacco, was sufficient evidence to Mr X that I was a spy! It also demonstrated the narrow mindedness of people in that part of the world. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Yesterday the KRG's Minister for Oil announced that the region owed 8 billion dollars to the banks and a further 2.5 billion dollars to oil companies! </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Was this the right time to make such a statement about the KRG's economy?

هذا الرجل يفضل السير على الصفيح الساخن و صفيح الشهر الحالي فهو الاسخن حيث انه يواجه يوميا مشاكل كبيرة وعويصة كان هو فقط السبب في افتعالها ويحاول كثيرا التنصل من افعاله ولكن من دون جدوى واصبح كالبعبع لا ترغب الدول وخاصة الاوربية و الجماعات و المنظمات الغيرالحكومية التقرب منه ومن نظامه سيئ الصيت.</div>

ادناه قسم من مشاكل اردوغان لهذا الشهر حزيران\يونيو فقط علما بأن الشهر لم ينتهي حتى الان و نحن بإنتظار الجديد من ابو بلال من صولات وجولات</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: right;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">كمشترك ومراقب للاستفتاء الذي جرى في بريطانيا يوم الخميس الماضي فإن ابتزاز اردوغان لدول الاتحاد ومطالبته بالاموال مقابل منع الهجرة من خلال الاراضي التركية واصراره على عدم شمول الاتراك بالحصول على الفيزا لادخالهم الى دول الاتحاد وكذلك اصراره على التعجيل في ادخال بلاده الى الاتحاد كل ذالك كان له رد فعل من الناخب البريطاني. اعتقد بأن رد الفعل البريطاني قد اقنع اردوغان الان بأن ليس له مكان في الاتحاد وحسب قول كاميرون رئيس الوزراء البريطاني فإن تركيا نفذت بندا واحدا فقط من اصل 35 بندا عليها تنفيذها لتتأهل للدخول الى الاتحاد.علما بان كاميرون كان من اهم مناصري تركيا في الاتحاد</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: right;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*صدم اردوغان وظهرت اثار الصدمة على وجهه عندما منع من الكلام او التقرب من كفن البطل محمد علي في امريكا والانكى من هذا ان واحدا من اثنان من اللذين خطبوا في الاحتفال بديلا عن اردوغان والملك عبد الله كان حاخاما يهوديا راديكاليا له مواقف مهمه ضد سياسات اسرائيل في الاراضي المحتلة. طالب الحاخام وبحضور اردوغان و امام اكبر و اهم تجمع عقد في امريكا هذا العام بأن يتوقف اردوغان عن قتل الكورد في جنوب شرق تركيا .لقد اهين الى درجة مابعدها اهانة</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*حامي حمى الاسلام وفارس الاخوانجية وبطل الخلافة وراعي الباب العالي تراجع عن كل تهديداته ضد اسرائيل ووقع مع اسرائيل معاهدة لاعادة العلاقات الدبلوماسية وارجاع السفراء الى انقرة وتل ابيب و باع حماس والاخوان في صفقة يالعمر هذه وبحضور السمسارين القطري والامريكي</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*لقد فشل اردوغان في صولته مع الدب الروسي واصراره على ان الطائرة اخترقت الاجواء التركية وتاكيده بإنه سيعيد الكرة مع اي طائرة روسية تخترق اجواء بلاده "كلام فاضي " و ها هو السلطان يعتذر لروسيا رسميا واعلن رئيس وزرائه بأن تركيا ستعوض الروس عن كل شئ و بعد تصريحات رئيس الوزراء بساعة ناقض اردوغان رئيس وزرائه ليثبت ان اردوغان ماهو الى عيدي امين اسيا الصغرى<br />
ماذا في جعبة الرجل من جديد ان غدا لناظره لقريب.................</div>

supply and demand is also internationally manipulated. The industrial countries
have the largest demand for this commodity, not only for use as fuel, but also
as a mother commodity for the manufacture of hundreds of other essential items
and accessories. Actually, less than 20% of oil imported is used for transport
and energy generation; the remainder is being used for the production of a
variety of products, from ladies perfume to auto bodies, musical instruments,
house and health furniture, fertilizers, and much more. That is why the
industrial countries are in such a high competition to acquire concession for
its production and pricing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Oil is also a political commodity. Its supply and
demand can easily be manipulated to set its international pricing. Being a
major source of energy and of high demand worldwide, oil can also easily damage
economies of nations that depend solely on oil for their annual budgetary
needs.Further, small oil producers have no role in deciding the price of oil
they pour into the market. Even OPEC, the Organization of Oil Producing
Countries, headquartered in Geneva, supposedly set up to regulate the
production and the price of oil, is limited in its power as to how much oil is
to be marketed and at what price. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The conclusion is that while the supply and demand
levels have a major impact on the oil market price, likewise, the world
political environment is also a factor in setting oil production levels and its
pricing. Oil is a major player in the ongoing cold war between the great powers
of the world, Such as the current situation between the United States and its
allies on one hand, and Russia, China, and their allies on the other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

conflict, the USA wanting continued use of the dollar as the currency in all
world oil transactions. Thus, USA has signed special agreements with other
major oil producing countries to keep using the dollar in exchange for the
United States’ commitment to protect such countries from outside aggression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Oil politics is in action in the existing
conflicts in Yemen, and to some extent in Syria, between the Russians and the
United States, as they have divergent viewpoints. The recent decline of oil
prices is directly attributed to differences of opinion between Saudi Arabia
and Iran regarding the ongoing conflict in Yemen. The Saudis, being a major
world oil producer, have inundated the market with oil, with the results of
bringing its global price down, targeting mainly the Iranian and the Russian
economies. The United States has also decreased its demand for foreign oil,
which has kept the supply of oil at an all time high, forcing oil prices down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The industrial countries are also working hard on
decreasing their dependence on oil. They are expanding their research at
developing energy sources other than that from oil, such as the use of Solar,
Wind, Ocean, energies, including what comes from the nuclear fusion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

for oil will eventually increases oil supply levels, and would eventually drive
prices down. With such price fluctuations, setting national budgets solely on
oil revenues becomes problematic and unwise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in depending solely on oil for annual national budgets, and strongly suggest
that we must look at other sources where we can have control over sources of
our revenues. To repeat:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

entirely the use of our major source of funds from the sale of oil. Monies
received from the sale of oil should be put in a special fund, to be possibly
named <b>Kurdistan Development Fund</b>, to
be used mainly for addressing the sector that brings us the most revenues and
creates work for our citizens. Then, development of our human resources is of
utmost importance, followed by the rehabilitation of our basic infra-structure,
especially the supply of electricity and water, construction of major roads,
building housing settlements, schools, educational and training facilities,

stable revenue is the agricultural sector. We need to utilize our God-given

call for all. First, for the authorities to realize that we urgently need a
revival of the agricultural sector. <b>It
is our economic priority number one</b>. It is quite risky to rely on the
import of our daily food from abroad. As the world population is on the rise,
currently standing at 7.4 billion, a day will come when no matter how much
money we may have, the food market would be too tight to provide us with our
food requirements. Is it not a shame to bring carrots from Australia and USA,
vegetables and fruits from our neighbors, poultry, beef, and fish from South
America, and dairy products from a country that has not even one free flowing
river. Why are we not utilizing our God-given fertile land and water, and a
favorable climate that allow for the production of just about every food and
feed items that we need. <b>It is not only
that we must insure our daily food, but most importantly is that the sector
creates work, and our young generation <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

we seem to have a very short memory of our very recent economic past. It was
only in the 1990s that people were on the verge of a famine, as a result of
sanctions imposed by Baghdad. People in those years used to sell their
furniture, dismantle their houses, pulling out doors and windows and offer such
for sale to insure a meager living for their families. It is very sad to see
that soon after the end of such difficulties people wasting so much food,
throwing away items received from the oil for food program, and even using
wheat flour, instead of gypsum, to draw construction sketches on the ground for
their homes. Truckloads of spoiled bread are being thrown away daily by our
citizens. We are also wasteful of the use of our water and electricity,
whenever it is supplied, with minimum consideration for our neighbors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

nation has been endowed with the most of the water and sufficient fertile land,
not available for other people in the region. So let us develop our fertile land
and water resources for the production of most of our agricultural needs.
Sufficient budget from the oil money should be allocated for this sector.
Without food security there is no national security. This sector has been very
much damaged and requires proper attention to re-educate our farmers to prepare
them and move them to the modern age and to bring farming production up to the
modern times. We must become self-sufficient in our needs for all food and feed
items.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attractive to our young generation and to many others who are still young
enough and can be part of a variety of agricultural programs. Many of these
middle- aged men are tied up to mostly sedentary, non-productive jobs (Guards,
policemen, janitors, drivers, watchmen), most of which are not needed. I am
sure that with proper training they can become active modern farmers. The
current practice of having so many idle employees is a great waste of human
resources that need to be seriously addressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

agricultural lands for settlements, or for airports, where more suitable areas
could have been found for both needs. I also hear talks about amateur
activities for refining crude oil in some areas of Kurdistan that must
immediately come to a halt. In this operation, waste from crude refining
activities is being dumped on fertile agricultural land, making it useless for
agricultural production. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

human resources. Qualified candidates should be awarded scholarships to attend
accredited institutes/universities, on all aspects of technical,
administrative, and managerial subjects required by our young emerging nation.
If we intend to be a sovereign nation, then preparing the human resource is an
important priority. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

From chemical bombardment, building military roads, or digging defense trenches

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In the seventies, Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonzo, Venezuela’s oil
minister and one of the founders of OPEC famously said that oil was not black
gold but that it was the devil’s excrement and brought a curse to those
countries that had oil reserves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Pérez Alfonzo’s
insight has been rigorously tested over the last forty years and economists,
environmentalists and political scientists have confirmed that he was correct
in saying that oil did not bring all the benefits that governments, and people,
expected. Studies have shown that the economies of resource-rich countries grew
at a slower rate than those that do not have abundant minerals or raw materials
to export and, even if the natural resources fuelled growth, it was rarely
accompanied by the expected full social benefits. It could be said that a
surplus in wealth from natural resources has had a negative effect on the
development of other sources of wealth such as agriculture, manufacturing and a
country’s human resources. Those countries that proved to be an exception, e.g.
Norway and Malaysia, used the bonus of oil resources wisely. Desert countries
e.g. Gulf States and Libya, had no significant agriculture or industry prior to
the discovery of oil and the riches that the Americans and Europeans extracted
from under their feet brought wealth beyond their dreams, while wealthier
countries such as Iraq, Iran, Nigeria and Venezuala, that already had other
resources and industry, oil was a bonus. However the bonus still carried the
curse and, over time, it has not proved to be a ‘God given’ gift. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The recent drastic fall in the price of oil has had a devastating
effect in Venezuela where the country’s economy is now heavily reliant on oil.
In 2014, oil brought in $75 billion to the economy of this oil rich country
where Pérez Alfonzo served as Minister of Oil, but today the value of a barrel
of oil is less than a third of its 2014 price. The result is a shrinking
economy and rising inflation accompanied by a food crisis that is hitting every
Venezuelan. The country had become reliant on its income from oil to provide
food for its growing population but now the government cannot pay for the
imports of flour, milk, eggs and other basic staples that the population
depends upon and many supermarkets, especially those that are state subsidised,
have empty shelves. Inflation is estimated to be 700%, (The Times, London,
12.02.2016), there are long queues outside any shop that has food supplies
while crime rates are rising. The country has also been hit by drought which is
being blamed for the drop in hydro-electric power and the enforced daily power
cuts. Now the Venezuelan government is urging everyone to do their bit towards
seeing their country through the current emergency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This year, President
Maduro of Venezuela announced the formation of a new Ministry for Urban
Agriculture. Emma Ortega, the Minister for Urban Agriculture, recently said
“people have to solve the current emergency by cultivating in any available
space. We just need sun, water and earth. Currently our cities are just food
consumers and parasites.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> President Madura has
said that by growing their own food people can survive the economic collapse
and that he and his wife were keeping 50 backyard chickens in their effort
towards food security. “It’s time to develop a new culture of production”, he
said. While the government is urging its people to return to agriculture the
country’s health services are breaking down as doctors try to stop the rapid spread
of the zika virus, in the absence of the drugs they need but have no means of obtaining.
It is a sorry state of affairs for this oil rich country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What has brought Venezuela down is the result of its
successive governments believing that the oil revenues would always be
sufficient for the country’s needs and little emphasis was placed on the
development of other avenues of income while wealth always attracts the
dishonest and the corrupt who seek to line their pockets. Corruption can be
found in any country but sadly the combination of oil wealth and developing
countries results in corruption and nepotism on an excessive scale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I was a student in Britain when the Ba’athists turned their
attention on my family and, after obtaining my doctorate, I was able to get
employment in Tripoli University Libya followed, a few years later, by work
with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the U.N. When I retired
from FAO my work had involved livestock and agriculture development programs in
all the countries of the Middle East and North Africa yet the opportunity
for work in Iraq only came when Saddam
was overthrown and I had reached the UN retirement age. Six years ago I was
asked to take up the post of adviser in food security and agriculture to the
KRG’s Prime Minister I readily took the opportunity to play a role in the
development of Iraqi Kurdistan. I believed that I would be contributing to the
redevelopment of farming communities destroyed by Saddam’s troops, improving
agriculture and developing food security for the benefit of Kurdish people in
Iraq.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I had not been in Erbil for long when I realised that sadly
this was nothing but a pipe dream and that, unfortunately, the fatal
miscalculations made in Venezuela were being repeated in KRG and Iraq.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The reality was that all the ideas, recommendations, advice,
observations and reports that I made were simply ignored. It did not matter if
it involved increasing poultry production, improving slaughterhouse facilities
and meat inspection, control of livestock imports, silos and wheat production,
vaccination programs or safeguarding water and agricultural lands – no one was
interested. The first Prime Minister I was asked to advise took one report I
offered him and threw it onto his desk saying “We do not need this, we have
oil!”, I was never called to meet his successor. By chance I attended
international discussions held by the Blue Peace Organisation on water supplies
in the Region and I was appalled to discover how Turkey were damming the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers and reducing the waters flowing into Kurdistan and Iraq.
It was made perfectly clear by the Turks that they regarded water as a
commodity and they used the phrase ‘Water for oil.’ No one in the KRG government, including
President, Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament, expressed concern and
Turkey’s exports were welcome in the markets to be sold in direct competition
with any locally produced goods.</span><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-SA" style="background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

that agriculture and food production was regarded as being unimportant when the
bright, new petrodollars could buy everything they wanted. Instead of being
used to develop our agriculture and industries the oil revenue was used to buy
cars, food, freezers, electronic goods or clothes or to build anything from
cement plants to tourist villages or invisible factories on prime agricultural
land. As long as there was enough oil money available to maintain imports, pay
salaries and pensions everything was fine. Or was it? The sad truth was that
the entire government was being run by ruling parties that took power in turn
and allocated ministerial posts to the requisite number of party members
irrespective of ability while nepotism was rife. It is a sorry state of affairs
when only one of the seventeen Ministers of Agriculture that have served the
KRG was an agriculturist and sadly the same can be said of the central
government in Baghdad. For thousands of years the lands of Kurdistan and Iraq
were referred to as the birthplace of agriculture and civilisation yet since
the discovery of oil the entire area has been blighted by the greed of men who
ignored the value of fertile land and water and saw only the money that oil produced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

نشر في فرنسا و ترجم الى العربية تحت عنوان ( خمسة سنوات في بيت من الزجاج ) و ذكر
في كتابه ان السبب الحقيقي لعدم التمديد له ان الولايات المتحدة تحاول ان تفرض
هيمنتها على هذه المنظمة العالمية . و بالفعل ارتقوا ب كوفي عنان المسئول الامني

كالعادة تمكن الجنرال عيديد من تخريب الزيارة و ذلك بإفتعال مظاهرات ضد زيارة بطرس
غالي لمقديشو و انا على ثقة ان الامريكان هم من حرضوا الجنرال عيديد و زمرته على
تخريب هذه الزيارة و تخريب عمل كتاني ، و الغريب انه بعد سنتين و بتاريخ 30 يوليو
/تموز عام 1996 قتل الامريكان الجنرال عيديد و كان هذا اليوم اخر يوم لي في صومال

that the Turks are Friendly to the Iraqi Kurds and over the years and to be precicely sinces 1992 they stood
with us how mistaken they, are Turkey
friendship to the Iraqi Kurds are all because they are the biggest milking cow
in the region turkey is taking advategeand it help with improving the illing
export market of Turkey. A visit to a any small corner shop, grouser
,Supermarket and Malls all over Kurdistan reveal what sort of outlet we are for Turkey and its
products. A trade with this neghbour is one way we import and never exports. As
a matter of fact the policy of nieghbouring countries ( Turkey and Iran) by
flooding Kurdistan markets with cheep foods and goods killed all potentiality
of local production in KRG. Apart the KRG planning was also runned by meduker
planner and the interest of the nation was second to interest of some and their
families.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

foreign fighters join ISIS from 80 countries almost half of them are from North
African Arabs. The question how this large number of hairy Muslim fundumilist
with their distinctive appearance some accompanied with their families managed
to inter Syria first then Iraq. They
could not passed through Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia as they hostil
countries to ISIS . They could not pass through any ports in Iraq. The only
routs left are either Midtrenian sea which well guraded by the Russian and
Syrian Navy. That leaves us with one entry rout the NATO member Turkey. Turkey
is ruled by Muslim Brotherhood Party which is the forerunner of all the
jihadist terrorist Islamic group , so we should not be surprised by the support ISIS get from their mentor the
Turkish government and the Turkish Muslim Brother hood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree Nov. 28 with immediate effect <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=0ea43c2bf3&e=8f8dc9cded" style="color: #0e357b; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">imposing sanctions against Turkey</a> for the downing of a Russian Su-24 on Nov. 24, Reuters reported citing a statement posted on the Kremlin's website. The sanctions will ban charter flights from Turkey and prevent Russian tour companies from selling packages for travel the country. It will also entail the halt of unspecified Turkish imports while limiting the economic activity of certain Turkish corporations and individuals. The Russian government will publish the full list of specific goods and firms Nov. 30, with foodstuffs likely to be included according to unnamed officials, Interfax reported. Putin has voiced concern that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has not issued an apology for the incident, while Erdogan has insisted Turkey will not apologize. Erdogan has requested to meet with Putin on the sidelines of a U.N. climate change summit that will begin Nov. 30 in Paris. Trade between Russia and Turkey is heavily concentrated in a handful of sectors, the most important of which are energy, metals and agriculture. Altogether, Russian exports make up about 10 percent of Turkey's imports, while Turkey accounts for only 4 percent of Russia's exports.</div>

beside Lake Dokan in Suliemaniah province, Kurdistan for their honeymoon and
following their wedding celebrations with their happy families they travelled
to the tourist resort and the prefab chalet. The following morning their families
were to receive the unbelievable news that the happy bride and groom had died
within hours of checking into the chalet. The families were told that they had
died together from smoke inhalation when a fire broke out in the chalet as they
slept. The families were told, verbally, that the fire had been caused by an
electrical fault but there was no official explanation given only that they had
died from smoke inhalation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

on the night of their wedding was met with sadness and disbelief throughout
Kurdistan. Their families and friends who had wished them well in their married
life only hours before were left devastated by the tragic news that they
received the day after the wedding. Since that tragic day the two families have
gone every week to the grave yard where the grave of the tragic couple lies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

full, official investigation into the tragedy. There were no official post mortems,
accident investigation or judicial investigation into what had caused the fire.
To make matters worse it had soon become common knowledge that the chalet was
owned by a brother of a well known politician who had the chalet refurbished
and rented out again within days of the fatalities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

judge who asked her if she would like to receive some form of compensation for
her loss. Her reply to this was that
yes, she would like to see the building of a school that was named in memory of
Hana and Chia. That call was over six years ago and she has heard nothing since
then, not from the court or from the Government. When I questioned her about
how she felt over the lack of justice in the deaths of her son and
daughter-in-law, she said that she did not expect to receive any justice when
there were ‘big sharks’ involved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tourist resort continues to make his profits and has not been challenged in any
way over the deaths of a young couple in the chalet he owned my sister is left
to mourn her beloved son and his young bride and questions that have never been
answered. Even the hope of a school built, in their memory, where the children
of others could be educated has become a dream with no prospects of being
fulfilled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

helm and there is a marked division between the rich and the poor. How can
people respect our government, laws and enforcement agencies when life here has
become a matter of how rich you are and who you know, with the right
connections you do well but without those connections you will not. It reminds
me of George Orwell’s famous book ‘Animal Farm’ from which I quote “<b>All are

<br />
Over the past few weeks, I've had people at speaking engagements ask me if I
thought the Islamic State or some other militant group is using Ebola as a
biological weapon, or if such a group could do so in the future. Such
questions and concerns are not surprising given the <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=fa5910d95c&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">intense media hype that surrounds
the disease</span></a>, even though only one person has died from Ebola out
of the three confirmed cases in the United States. The media hype about the
threat posed by the Islamic State to the United States and the West is almost
as bad. Both subjects of all this hype were combined into a tidy package on
Oct. 20, when the Washington Post published an editorial by columnist Mark
Thiessen in which he claimed it would be easy for a group such as the Islamic
State to use Ebola in a terrorist attack. Despite Thiessen's claims, using
Ebola as a biological warfare agent is much more difficult than it might
appear at first blush.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.65pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.65pt; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The 2014 Outbreak<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 13.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">In the past, there have been several outbreaks of Ebola in
Africa. Countries included Sudan, Uganda, the Republic of the Congo and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, and several comparatively small outbreaks
occurred in Gabon as well. In most cases, people who handled or ate animals
infected with the disease started the outbreaks. "Bushmeat," or
portions of roasted meat from a variety of wild animals, is considered by
many to be a delicacy in Africa, and in a continent where hunger is widespread,
it is also a necessity for many hungry people. After several months of
medical investigations, epidemiologists believe the current outbreak most
likely began when a two-year-old child in Guinea touched or perhaps ate part
of an infected animal such as a bat or monkey.<br />
<br />
The source of the disease means it is highly unlikely that some malevolent
actor intentionally caused the latest outbreak. Besides the fact that the
current outbreak's cause has been identified as a natural one, even if a
transnational militant group such as the Islamic State was able to somehow
develop an Ebola weapon, it would have chosen to deploy the weapon against a
far more desirable target than a small village in Guinea. We would have seen
the militants use their weapon in a location such as New York, Paris or
London, or against their local enemies in Syria and Iraq.<br />
<br />
As far as intent goes, there is very little doubt that such a group would
employ a biological weapon. As we noted last month when there was increased
talk about the <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=6494c20c13&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">Islamic State possibly
weaponizing plague</span></a> for a biological attack, terrorist attacks
are intended to have a psychological impact that outweighs the physical
damage they cause. The Islamic State itself has a long history of <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=bd4a809b4e&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">conducting brutal actions to
foster panic</span></a>.<br />
<br />
In 2006 and 2007, the Islamic State's predecessor, al Qaeda in
Iraq, included <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=5232865592&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">large quantities of chlorine in
vehicle bombs</span></a> deployed against U.S. and Iraqi troops in an
attempt to produce mass casualties. The explosives in the vehicle bombs
killed more people than the chlorine did, and after several unsuccessful
attempts, al Qaeda in Iraq gave up on its chlorine bombings because the
results were not worth the effort. Al Qaeda in Iraq also included chemical
artillery rounds in improvised explosive devices used in attacks against
American troops in Iraq on several occasions. Again, these attacks failed to
produce mass casualties. Finally, according to human rights organizations,
the Islamic State appears to have recently used some artillery rounds
containing mustard gas against its enemies in Syria; the group presumably
recovered the rounds from a former Saddam-era chemical weapons facility in
Iraq or from Syrian stockpiles.<br />
<br />
The problem, then, lies not with the Islamic State's intent but instead with
its capability to obtain and weaponize the Ebola virus. Creating a biological
weapon is far more difficult than using a chemical such as chlorine or
manufactured chemical munitions. Contrary to how the media frequently
portrays them, <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=ca578fbdc2&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">biological weapons are not easy
to obtain</span></a>, they are not easy to deploy effectively and they do not
always cause mass casualties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 13.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ebola and terrorism are not new. Nor is the possibility of
terrorist groups using the Ebola virus in an attack. As we have previously
noted, the <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=d7fcd3a6af&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo
attempted to obtain the Ebola virus</span></a> as part of its biological
warfare program. The group sent a medical team to Africa under the pretext of
being aid workers with the intent of obtaining samples of the virus. It
failed in that mission, but even if it had succeeded, the group would have
faced the challenge of getting the sample back to its biological warfare
laboratory in Japan. The Ebola virus is relatively fragile. Its lifetime on
dry surfaces outside of a host is only a couple of hours, and while some
studies have shown that the virus can survive on surfaces for days when still
in bodily fluids, this requires ideal conditions that would be difficult to
replicate during transport.<br />
<br />
If the group had been able to get the virus back to its laboratory, it would
have then faced the challenge of reproducing the Ebola virus with enough
volume to be used in a large-scale biological warfare attack, similar to its
failed attacks on Tokyo and other Japanese cities in which the group sprayed
thousands of gallons of botulinum toxin and Anthrax spores. Reproducing the
Ebola virus would present additional challenges because it is an extremely
dangerous virus to work with. It has infected researchers, even when they
were working in laboratories with advanced biosafety measures in place.
Although Aum Shinrikyo had a large staff of trained scientists and a
state-of-the-art biological weapons laboratory, it was still unable to
effectively weaponize the virus.<br />
<br />
The challenges Aum Shinrikyo's biological weapons program faced would be
multiplied for the Islamic State. Aum Shinrikyo operatives were given a great
deal of operational freedom until their plans were discovered after the 1995
sarin attacks on the Tokyo subway. (The group's previous biological weapons
attacks were so unsuccessful that nobody knew they had been carried out until
after its members were arrested and its chemical and biological weapons
factories were raided.) Unlike the Japanese cult, the Islamic State's every
move is under heavy scrutiny by most of the world's intelligence and security
agencies. This means jihadist operatives would have far more difficulty
assembling the personnel and equipment needed to construct a biological
weapons laboratory. Since randomly encountering an infected Ebola patient
would be unreliable, the group would have to travel to a country impacted by
the outbreak. This would be a difficult task for the group to complete
without drawing attention to itself. Furthermore, once group members reached
the infected countries, they would have to enter quarantined areas of medical
facilities, retrieve the samples and then escape the country unnoticed, since
they could not count on randomly encountering an infected Ebola patient.<br />
<br />
Even if Islamic State operatives were somehow able to accomplish all of this
-- without killing themselves in the process -- Ebola is not an ideal
biological warfare vector. The virus is hard to pass from person to person.
In fact, on average, its basic reproductive rate (the average amount of
people that are infected by an Ebola patient) is only between one and two
people. There are far more infectious diseases such as measles, which has a
basic reproductive rate of 12-18, or smallpox, which has a basic reproductive
rate of five to seven. Even HIV, which is only passed via sexual contact or
intravenous blood transmission, has a basic reproductive rate of two to
five. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.65pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.65pt; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Ebola's Weakness as a Weapon<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 13.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Ebola disease is also somewhat slow to take
effect, and infected individuals do not become symptomatic and contagious for
an average of 8-10 days. The disease's full incubation period can last
anywhere from two to 21 days. As a comparison, influenza, which can be
transmitted as quickly as three days after being contracted, can be spread
before symptoms begin showing. This means that an Ebola attack would take
longer to spread and would be easier to contain because infected people would
be easier to identify.<br />
<br />
Besides the fact that Ebola can only be passed through the bodily fluids of a
person showing symptoms at the time, the virus in those bodily fluids must
also somehow bypass the protection of a person's skin. The infectious fluid
must enter the body through a cut or abrasion, or come into contact with the
mucus membranes in the eyes, nose or mouth. This is different from more
contagious viruses like measles and smallpox, which are airborne viruses and
do not require any direct contact or transfer of bodily fluids. Additionally,
the Ebola virus is quite fragile and sensitive to light, heat and
low-humidity environments, and bleach and other common disinfectants can kill
it. This means it is difficult to spread the virus by contaminating surfaces
with it. The only way to infect a large amount of people with Ebola would be
to spray them with a fluid containing the virus, something that would be
difficult to do and easily detectable.<br />
<br />
Thiessen's piece suggested that the Islamic State might implement an attack
strategy of infecting suicide operatives with Ebola and then having them blow
themselves up in a crowded place, spraying people with infected bodily
fluids. One problem with this scenario is that it would be extremely
difficult to get an infected operative from the group's laboratory to the
United States without being detected. As we have discussed elsewhere,
jihadist groups have struggled to get operatives to the West to conduct
conventional terrorist attacks using guns and bombs, a constraint that would
also affect their ability to deploy a biological weapon.<br />
<br />
Even if a hostile group did mange to get an operative in place, it would
still face several important obstacles. By the time Ebola patients are highly
contagious, they are normally very ill and bedridden with high fever,
fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea, meaning they are not strong enough to walk
into a crowded area. The heat and shock of the suicide device's explosion
would likely kill most of the virus. Anyone close enough to be exposed to the
virus would also likely be injured by the blast and taken to a hospital,
where they would then be quarantined and treated for the virus.<br />
<br />
Biological weapons look great in the movies, but they are difficult and
expensive to develop in real life. That is why we have rarely seen them used
in terrorist attacks. As we have noted for a decade now, <a href="http://stratfor.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74786417f9554984d314d06bd&id=fd2767e9d7&e=8f8dc9cded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0e357b;">jihadists can kill far more
people with far less expense and effort by utilizing traditional terrorist
tactics</span></a>, which makes the threat of a successful attack using the
Ebola virus extremely unlikely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
