A Prison Camp for Islamic State Fighters in Syria is a Humanitarian Disaster and Security Challenge
After the Islamic State was largely defeated on the battlefields of northern Syria in 2019, thousands of fighters and their families were placed in detention facilities in the region. By far the largest of these detention camps is Al Hol, which at its peak held over 70,000 people from several dozen countries. Today, over 50,000 people live in Al Hol, which is essentially an open-air prison. The vast majority of people living there are children.
My guest today, Sarhang Hamaseed, is the director of Middle East Programs at the United States Institute of Peace and is intimately involved with efforts to help repatriate families currently stranded in this prison camp. When we caught up, he had recently returned from Iraq, working on programs to support the reintegration of Iraqi families in Al Hol. In our conversation, Sarhang Hamaseed explains why this festering prison camp in northern Syria is both a humanitarian and security crisis that deserves broader international attention.

Why Georgia's Foreign Agents Law Undermines Democracy and Human Rights

Over the past several weeks, hundreds of thousands of people in the Republic of Georgia have taken to the streets to protest against a law making its way through parliament that would force many NGOs to register as foreign agents.

Accordingly, there is no shortage of aid available to stem the crisis, which in some parts of Gaza has crossed the famine threshold. Rather, it is di...

American aid is on its way to Ukraine. This week, Congress passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill that includes about $60 billion for Ukraine.

They are not our problem. Illegals have no business entering my country illegally via the coastal waters of the UK from France. That is why we have borders. They should be promptly removed without benefit. They have not been invited and they are not welcome. So shuffle off. The UK needs to revoke the non contributory welfare system.

Precious H.E. Jimmy Cherizer you are not a gang leader you are a saviour of Haiti people if you agree to sit together with your brother H. E Prime .Minister Henry Raulel and bring back the lost glory the rule of the law. Remember you were once an enforcer of the Law in Haiti. Just like Joshua and Caleb were chosen by God to take Israel to the promised land I believe you both can do it for the poor people of Haiti. Our beloved President W. Ruto has agreed to support your country with. 1000 enforcement, this are not enemies but friends in need. Let every leader in Haiti think what he or she can do for Haiti but not what Haiti can do for them. Haiti is the most peaceful,beautiful country in the world. God Bless Haiti.

The “debt-trap” theory is concocted by Brahma Chellaney, an Indian geopolitical strategist. The “debt-trap” theory is concocted by Indians, and popularized by Americans. They concoct this theory to demonize China, Chinese and BRI projects/loans. India, US, along with EU, fear losing their control over other countries which may result from these projects. Such fears are based on their selfish and geopolitical interests. However, people from all over the world, especially from developing countries have acknowledged the needs and the actual benefits of these projects/loans. They know from their first-hand experience that there is no debt-trap. Academics and researchers have reviewed these projects, and have debunked the debt-trap theory.

One interesting development since the war started is that the popular Chinese nationalism has really displayed itself as a literal double-edged sword. On one hand there's the age-old anti-Americanism, while on the other hand there is also quite a few anti-Russian, irredentist, but not necessarily pro-American, voices that argue China should backstab Russia and take Central Asia or even Russian Far East, should Russia get itself defeated.

Wow!! Very insightful and factual. Another countries currency is devalued by banks printing and inflation. The Yemeni people need a Yemeni bank. For the people by the people.
