What is particularly encouraging is that both sides appear to have come away from a series of meetings on Sunday with a relatively positive assessment of what transpired, suggesting that a modicum of much-needed goodwill has been generated. Given the destabilising approach to the region outlined by US President Donald Trump in his South Asia strategy and the Afghan government suffering from a number of ongoing political and security crises, it was necessary that Pakistan and Afghanistan engage each other directly to prevent a further unravelling of ties. While a true regional solution to Afghanistan’s problems is needed, the fact remains that Pakistan and Afghanistan are the two countries with the most at stake. As previously Afghan and Pakistani leaders have also discovered, the two countries have no option but to engage in meaningful dialogue. However, the necessity of constructive dialogue has not necessarily caused it to materialise in the past. Part of the problem appears to be that neither the Pakistani nor the Afghan side have approached a potential dialogue in a structured manner. Blame games, allegations and recriminations, and short-term demands at odds with long-term confidence-building measures have been plentiful; missing has been the belief that joint problem-solving is likely or possible. In recent times, Pakistan has tried to change the ad hoc approach to the bilateral relationship by suggesting a list of priority areas for cooperation that can 7 Buy CSS Books Online as Cash on Delivery http://cssbooks.net | Call/SMS 03336042057 October 2017 progressively

    S Secret Ground War in Libya

    NATO’s Secret Ground War in Libya By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 16, 2011 Theme: US NATO War Agenda 16 May 2011 In-depth Report: ARAB PROTEST MOVEMENT The War on Libya – PART III In Part I of this text, the events which led up and set the backdrop for the present conflict in Libya were discussed. Part II examined the central role of media distortion and misinformation in justifying the NATO war on “humanitarian grounds”. The following text examines US-NATO war plans and intelligence operations pertaining to Libya, prior to the onset of the insurrection in Eastern Libya and the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1973. From the outset, the conflict in North Africa was intended to lead into an all out NATO war. The Pentagon and NATO are not only arming the Transitional Council in violation of international law, they also had forces on the ground from the start. Libya and the Imperial Re-Division of Africa The Media War on Libya: Justifying War through Lies and Fabrications – by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – 2011-05-02 Foreign Forces Were on the Ground in Libya prior to any type of U.N. Approval U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 only passed, because Moscow and Beijing abstained. This was a tactical move meant to limit the war. If the resolution had been vetoed by Russia and China, in all likelihood, the U.S., Britain, France, Italy (and the Western European members of NATO) would have resorted to “other means,” including an outright invasion.

    1 Burning Down the House: How the Iraq War Will Affect the International System Project on Defense Alternatives Briefing Report #15 Carl Conetta 6 May 2003 I stir up and arm all Syria. I march on Damascus and Aleppo. As I advance, my army will increase with the discontented. I proclaim the abolition of slavery and of the tyrannical government of the pashas. I reach Constantinople with armed masses and overthrow the Turkish Empire. Perhaps I return to Paris by way of Adrianople, or by Vienna, after having annihilated the Habsburgs of Austria. Napoleon Bonaparte, 1799, on the eve of the last failed assault on Acre1 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Hosea 8:7 The conventional phase of the battle for Iraq has been won at the cost of thousands of military and civilian dead and at least $45 billion in wealth consumed or destroyed.2 Now that the war is won, the issue of special weapons seems secondary. The hunt for weapons goes on and may be successful, but victory has opened the door on new difficulties in Iraq and beyond. This essay examines some of the repercussions of the war. It focuses specifically on its broader systemic effects -- that is: how the war will affect the functioning and evolution of the international system. The essay traces these effects to an increased US emphasis on unilateralism, coercive diplomacy, pro-active military operations, and regime change.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 8 - From Wahhabi to Salafi David Commins Naming the doctrine preached by Muhammad ibn 'Abel al-Wahhab has never been a simple matter. Early foes classified it as a Kharijite sectarian heresy. The name that stuck, Wahhabi, stigmatized the doctrine as the ravings of a misguided preacher. Naturally, Ibn 'Abel al-Wahhab and his disciples preferred other names for themselves and.their movement: at first, the folk who profess Cod's unity (ah[ al-tawhid and al-muwahhidun), later, the Najdi call (al-Ja 'wa al-najdiyya).1 Naming, then, is part of arguments over Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab's doctrine. If the doctrine is known as Wahhabi, it cannot claim to represent correct belief. The tendency to refer to it as Salafi is a recent development that first emerged among Wahhabism's defenders outside Arabia well before Wahhabis themselves adopted the term.' To say that a doctrine is Salafi is to ascribe it the authority of Islam's Pious Fathers.
