  • Extremism and Terrorism
    Morocco: Extremism and Terrorism On November 14, 2020, the Polisario Front, a pro-independence group in the Western Sahara, declared war on Morocco, ending a ceasefire that has been in place for over three decades. The declaration of war came one day after Morocco launched a military operation in the U.N.-patrolled buffer zone as the Polisario Front allegedly blocked access to Mauritania, Morocco’s neighboring country, preventing the transfer of goods and people between the two countries. About a month later on December 10, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Morocco agreed to establish full diplomatic relations, including formalizing economic ties, with Israel. The move is a part of a deal that includes U.S. recognition of the disputed territory of Western Sahara as part of Morocco. Morocco joins Bahrain, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates in normalizing diplomatic ties with Jerusalem. (Sources: Axios, New York Times, New York Times) On October 6, 2020, Moroccan authorities arrested four men allegedly linked to ISIS in Tangiers. According to the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ), the four suspects planned to “destabilize security in the kingdom,” by carrying out attacks similar to ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Similar raids were carried out by Moroccan authorities on September 11 in Rabat and July 7 in Nador, northeastern Morocco. The suspects in each raid were allegedly linked to ISIS and sought to carry out terror attacks against prominent figures and sensitive sites in the Kingdom. (Sources: Associated Press, Defense Post, Defense Post) On December 17, 2018, Moroccan authorities discovered the decapitated bodies of two female Scandinavian tourists at a campsite near Mount Toubkal.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.
