PRATT Political Officer Tripoli (1 48-1 52) Norman L. Pratt was born in Buffalo, New York. He grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and estfield, New Jersey. He received a bachelor$s degree in economics from Dartmouth College and a master$s degree in business administration from Harvard Business School. He immediately entered the U.S. Army after graduate school. Mr. Pratt$s Foreign Service career included positions in Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and South Africa. He was interviewed by Dayton Mak on November 19, 1991. PRATT: From Alexandria we were transferred to Tripoli in Lib1a. It was a new post bein0 opened up. Our interests in Lib1a revolved around the air base there which at that time was merel1 a small operation. It would have served, as I understand it, as a recover1 field in the event of an air attac2 on the Soviet Union. A place where our planes could come bac2 if need be for relief and repair. ./ How did we manage to get a base in Libya0 PRATT: At that time the Lib1an base was under the auspices of the /ritish. Aou must remember that Lib1a had been occupied durin0 the war b1 the /ritish Forces ,i0hth Arm1. The Italian authorities had been thrown out. The /ritish continued to hold that 0overnin0 authorit1 ri0ht up until the end in 1951 when the1 finall1 turned it over. /ut in 1948 when the field was opened it was almost the case of reopenin0 a field we alread1 had there. ./ hat was the attitude of the Libyans there at that time towards Americans and our presence0 PRATT: The1 had no problems with us as I recall. Our people were basicall1 out of si0ht. The1 were out on the base and seldom came into town. So our people 2new we were there, but there was ver1 little opportunit1 for irritation. Some of our people, of course, lived in town in residential areas within the Italian Buarter...,uropean Buarters. ./ You mentioned the Italian .uarter. I believe it had been an Italian colony. PRATT: It had been an Italian colon1. ./ hat was the influence and the presence of Italians in Libya at that time0 PRATT: In Lib1a at that time the Italians were still ver1 active in Tripolitania. 3owever, in 1renaica the Italians basicall1 had all left when the Italian forces withdrew in 1942. The ,mir and the 1renaica did not let them bac2 in except for a few at the athedral in /en0ha.i. ./ ill you e2plain what the Emir of Cyrenaica0 PRATT: The ,mir of 1renaica at that point in 7reece had a lon0 histor1. The Senussis started out as a reli0ious order with stron0holds in Lib1a 0oin0 bac2 into the 19th centur1. I have rather for0otten the histor1 of it now. ,vans Pritchard has written a lon0 boo2 on the Senussis. /ut basicall1 in 1renaica, which was their stron0hold, the Senussis represented and acted as the resistance to the Italian conCuest of the countr1. In fact it was not until 1931 that the last part of the 1renaica, Kufra Oasis, was occupied b1 the Italians. There was a blood1 period with concentration campsD local leaders bein0 chuc2ed out of airplanes without benefit of parachutes, etc. ./ ere the Senussiss like the ahhabis0 ere they very puritanical0 PRATT: The1 were not puritanical in that respect. The1 traced their ancestr1 bac2 to the Saudi Arabian peninsula. The1 were another one of the m1stical orders, but Cuite orthodox in their views. ./ ere they anti3 estern0 PRATT: No, the1 werenEt anti--estern. The ,mir of 1renaica, himself, had 0one bac2 to Alexandria in exile after the Italians had come into the northern part of 1renaica. 3e had actuall1 cooperated with the /ritish durin0 -orld -ar II in re0ainin0 1renaica. 3e was the beneficiar1 of a promise b1 Anthon1 ,den in 1942 that the Italians would never be allowed to return to 1renaica, which became one of the cardinal principles eventuall1 at tr1in0 to arrive at some settlement of the Italian colon1 Cuestion after the war. ./ But that did not apply to Tripolitania0 PRATT: Tripolitania was outside that but it was not reall1 Senussis territor1. ./ hat sort of problems did you have at the Consulate that re5uired your presence0 PRATT: Our primar1 obFect of bein0 there, besides the odd visa, was as a listenin0 post. To 2now what the local people were thin2in0, what the /ritish 0overnment was doin0 with the territor1 and how this would affect the operations of our air base in Tripolitania. The whole Cuestion of Italian colonies sta1ed with us the entire time we were there. First there was an attempt to brin0 the Italians into the UN which was defeated b1 one vote in the sprin0 of 1949. This was followed b1 massive demonstrations in the streets of Tripoli. ./ Anti31talian0 PRATT: Anti-Italian and in front of the /ritish for permittin0 this sort of thin0 to happen. The solution with the defeat of that resolution...we had actuall1 made a recommendation for a US trusteeship to be considered for Tripolitania, but that was shot down up on the 3ill as too much of a commitment that the United States just was not prepared to ma2e. The eventual development was that, after puttin0 to0ether all the speeches and the pros and cons in the UN, our position emer0ed that we would support eventual independence of Lib1a arrived at under UN auspices. ./ Am I right that there was a UN presence there0 PRATT: The UN presence 0rew out of this decision which was ta2en b1 the Department in Ma1/June 1949 and leadin0 eventuall1 to the 7eneral Assembl1 in November of that 1ear creatin0 the UN ouncil for Lib1a to be chaired b1 a neutral observer and with members from the two occup1in0 powers, namel1 France, which had the southern part, the Fe..an, under their control and the /rits because of Tripolitania and 1renaicaD ourselves because of our position in the Securit1 ouncil and our interests in the air base; the Italians because of their interests in the minoritiesD and representatives of the local people from 1renaica, Tripolitania and Fe..an and from the local Italian colon1 in Tripolitania which numbered about 40,000. Added to this to 0ive it a proper third world flavor, we had representatives of ,01pt and Pa2istan. ./ So it was rather an interesting time, wasn6t it0 PRATT: It did become interestin0 after a while. ./ How long were you in Libya0 PRATT: I was in Lib1a for about 3 and a half 1ears. -e left in late Januar1, 1952. /1 that time the Lib1an UN ouncil had done all the necessar1...the Dutch 3i0h ommissioner, Adrian Pelt, shepherded constitutional deliberations to a conclusion.

    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

MAK Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 9, 1989 Copyright 2010 ADST Q: Dayton, when and where were you born? MAK: I was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, July 10, 1917. Q: Let's talk about the family, let's go on the Mak side. What do you know about them? MAK: The Mak original name was three-barrel Mak van Waay, which in Dutch would be Mak fon vei [pronounces in Dutch]. They were from Dordrecht, the Netherlands. The family had an antique showroom there, an auction house a bit like Sotheby's. Q: ...in... MAK: In Dordrecht. That was the Mak van Waay family. They then moved to Amsterdam. At the same time, anther part of the family, a son, I believe, wanted to establish a Mak van Waay firm in Dordrecht itself. According to Dutch law, they couldn't do that. There could only be one firm Mak van Waay, so they opened the Firma Mak in Dordrecht. The Firma Mak still exists, and the big building remains on the tour of the old city of Dordrecht. The Mak van Waay part, of which I'm a member, stayed in Amsterdam until about 15 years ago, when the last Mak van Waay died. He had no children. So, the Mak van Waay in Interview with Dayton S.

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948

Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a.

    Country Coding Units Version 3 (December 2014) Principal Investigators Research Assistant Michael Coppedge – U. of Notre Dame Vlad Ciobanu – U. of Gothenburg John Gerring – Boston University Staffan I. Lindberg –U. of Gothenburg Jan Teorell – Lund University Suggested citation: Coppedge, Michael, John Gerring, Staffan I. Lindberg, Jan Teorell, Vlad Ciobanu. 2014. “Varieties of Democracy: Country Coding Units v3.” Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Project. 1 This document lists (a) every country in the eventual V-Dem database, (b) the years for which we have collect data or plan to collect data (in parentheses next to the entry); (c) the polities that comprise each country’s 20th century history (even if falling outside the time-period that we wish to code); and (d) the borders of each country (wherever this might be unclear). Many dates are approximate due to the inconclusive nature of a country’s history. Note that changes in sovereignty often occur by stages, and marking these stages with specific dates can be challenging. General sources for compiling this document include Wikipedia and Statesman.org. Additional sources, along with notes pertaining to specific countries, empires, and federations are contained in a separate document: “Countries, Empires, Elections (misc notes)” “Country” A V-Dem “country” is a political unit enjoying at least some degree of functional and/or formal sovereignty. This means that fully sovereign nation-states as well as colonies and protectorates and semi-autonomous administrative districts may qualify as countries. A territory must claim sovereignty at some point in its history in order to qualify. Thus, Somaliland qualifies but not Puntland.

  • The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990
    The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990 Submitted by René Rieger to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics in June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………… ………… 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the foreign policies of the Arab Gulf monarchies during the period of 1971 to 1990, as examined through two case studies: (1) the Arab Gulf monarchies’ relations with Iran and Iraq and (2) the six states’ positions in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The dissertation argues that, in formulating their policies towards Iran and Iraq, the Arab Gulf monarchies aspired to realize four main objectives: external security and territorial integrity; domestic and regime stability; economic prosperity; and the attainment of a stable subregional balance of power without the emergence of Iran or Iraq as Gulf hegemon. Over the largest part of the period under review, the Arab Gulf monarchies managed to offset threats to these basic interests emanating from Iran and Iraq by alternately appeasing and balancing the source of the threat. The analysis reveals that the Arab Gulf monarchies’ individual bilateral relations with Iran and Iraq underwent considerable change over time and, particularly following the Iranian Revolution, displayed significant differences in comparison to one another.

Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

  • After the Accords Anwar Sadat
    WMHSMUN XXXIV After the Accords: Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Welcome to WMHSMUN XXXIV! My name is Hank Hermens and I am excited to be the in-room Director for Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet. I’m a junior at the College double majoring in International Relations and History. I have done model UN since my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have become increasingly involved. I compete as part of W&M’s travel team, staff our conferences, and have served as the Director of Media for our college level conference, &MUN. Right now, I’m a member of our Conference Team, planning travel and training delegates. Outside of MUN, I play trumpet in the Wind Ensemble, do research with AidData and for a professor, looking at the influence of Islamic institutions on electoral outcomes in Tunisia.
