The overall objective has been to contribute to the stability and socio-economic . While industrial development in any region relates to a group of external country-wide variables, such as political and economic conditions, emerging strategies are influenced by context-related geographical and human factors, in addition to an analysis of: (a) Spatial potentials and opportunities, such as the availability of natural resources (agricultural, soil, mineral, water, solar etc); the clustering/ agglomeration of productive activities in certain areas; absorbing the labour force surplus in a particular industrial activity or utilising excess energy; supporting the introduction of greener technology in particular production processes (e.g. in the production of construction materials); strengthening the relationship between industry and research and development (R&D) centres; the exploitation of climate diversity; proximity with major development corridors and transportation infrastructure, among others; and (b) Spatial limitations and obstacles, such as the disparity of distribution of economic projects; untapped geographical and natural resources; unresolved geographical constraints; under-investment in basic infrastructure and utilities (particularly power); political volatility, insecurity of certain areas and unresolved tribal issues; insufficient investments in research and innovations in greener technologies; under-investments in more efficient mobility of people and goods, among others. LADP│Industrial Spatial Development Vision for Iraq │Muthanna Figure 1 Industries in Iraq © Janoob Press 1. UN-HABITAT AND THE INDUSTRIAL VISION IN IRAQ In selected pilot governorates of Diyala, Wassit, and Muthanna, the European Union is supporting the spatial assessment of local comparative advantages for industrial development and growth, as a pilot towards the development of an approach that can be replicated in other governorates of Iraq. This activity is being undertaken by UN-Habitat under the umbrella of the three-year Local Area Development Programme (LADP) funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in close coordination with the Iraq Ministry of Planning and local authorities. The Programme aims at strengthening good governance in Iraq by improving delivery of public services, through improved planning and implementation processes at governorate level, reflected in budgetary allocation processes at the Federal level. Based on this, the programme is expected

    ( רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ( למ מ" מ( ה ש ל מ כרמ ז מה עדימה י עד מל יעידומל ו ד י ע י ן רורטלו ו רטל ו ר ט ןיעידומ ע ה ר Spotlight on Global Jihad May 30 – June 4, 2019 Main events of the week The Syrian arena: The momentum of the Syrian army’s ground operation in the Idlib area resumed after a week of no progress. The Syrian army took over several villages east of the Al- Ghab Plain, where the main effort of the attack is taking place, and advanced northward. In the secondary effort, in the Kabanah area on the Kurd Mountains, the rebel organizations managed to halt the progress of the militias supporting the Syrian army. This week, ISIS carried out a wave of attacks accompanied by a media campaign entitled the Raids of Attrition. This wave of attacks, like its predecessor following the loss in Al- Baghouz1, was intended to reinforce the message that ISIS was enhancing its presence and activity around the world, even after the blow that it suffered in Syria. This combination of extensive propaganda and operational activity is intended to encourage ISIS’s supporters around the world and to enhance the organization’s image of strength. In practice, this week there was a quantitative increase in ISIS’s activity in several provinces as part of the Raids of Attrition campaign (mainly in Syria and Iraq). However, in most of the cases, these were “routine” operations (detonating IEDs, shooting attacks, liquidating opponents), with the exception of the showcase attacks in Afghanistan (see below).

    The Journal of Social Sciences Research ISSN(e): 2411-9458, ISSN(p): 2413-6670 Vol. 5, Issue. 1, pp: 121-133, 2019 Academic Research Publishing URL: https://arpgweb.com/journal/journal/7 Group DOI: https://doi.org/10.32861/jssr.51.121.133 Original Research Open Access Planning Mechanism for a Social Development Strategy in Post-Forced Displacement Anbar Governorate Thaer S. Mahmood Center of Strategic Studies-University of Anbar, Iraq Abstract Anbar society suffers many serious problems after the stage of forced displacement that was caused by ISIL terrorism. Major among these problems are the social problems, like social and family disintegration and locality and tribal tendencies, which have far serious consequences and themselves became the focal point of other negative consequences. Seen from this perspective the current paper seeks to be a step towards the achievement of social peace in the governorate and promote social development through real local reconciliation. The paper proposes an instant mechanism for a social development strategy that comprises programs and procedures that can be followed and be part of development plans of other sectors in the future. The paper adopts the analytical-descriptive method which is suitable in such studies. The paper includes a study of the social status of the governorate, a description of the situation of the displaced and returnees, serial procedures for the study of the proposed strategy like quadruple analysis and regional diagnosis of Anbar society, identifying priorities according to the primary and secondary aims that lead to the strategic programs and their future projects which focus on the integration of all denominations of society and giving priority to youth and females in the achievement of social development in the already weakened Anbar society.

  • ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1
    ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1 NEA-PSHSS-14-001 Weekly Report 95–96 — May 25 - June 7, 2016 Michael D. Danti, Allison Cuneo, Susan Penacho, Amr Al-Azm, Bijan Rouhani, Marina Gabriel, Kyra Kaercher, Jamie O’Connell, Anthony Lauricella Executive Summary During the reporting period, combat damage to cultural heritage, already at heightened levels in recent months, appeared to escalate with increases in airstrikes and artillery barrages impacting urban areas. In-country sources reported on a number of damage incidents affecting houses of worship in both Syria and Iraq. In many cases, it is difficult to assess the historical significance of these structures, but the humanitarian impacts are manifest and such attacks will likely heighten ethnosectarian tensions and impede conflict resolution efforts. In Syria, houses of worship and other cultural infrastructure was damaged or destroyed in Aleppo city, Idlib city, and Rif Dimashq Governorate with increases in airstrikes across Syria, particularly over Aleppo and Idlib. Russia has pledged to back SARG’s renewed offensive to reclaim Aleppo, and we anticipate elevated levels of destruction to cultural assets throughout Syria’s M5 highway corridor as well as in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor in coming months. In Iraq, in-country reports indicate several mosques were damaged by airstrikes and sectarian violence. Iraqi security forces have reached the southern outskirts of Fallujah, while Shia Popular Mobilization Front forces moved in from the north. Ethno-sectarian tensions may result in frequent heritage incidents. In Syria’s Homs Governorate, recent DigitalGlobe satellite imagery dated May 25, 2016 shows the continuing expansion of the Russian/SARG military base within Palmyra’s Northern Necropolis.

In one incident (July 3, 2021), eight people were killed by Syrian army gunfire. The fatalities included six children and one woman. In the Deir ez-Zor-Al-Mayadeen region: ISIS’s attacks against the SDF fighters continued. In the Al-Raqqah region: ISIS operatives attacked three oil tankers of the Al-Qaterji company (which supplies oil to the Syrian regime). The tankers were put out of commission and their drivers were killed. Iraq: This week as well, ISIS operated in the various provinces in Iraq, but there has been a decrease in the number of attacks. Many attacks were directed against infrastructure as part of what ISIS calls its economic war. The Iraqi security forces set up a joint operations room to protect the country's electricity infrastructure. The new operations room has thwarted a number of attempts by ISIS to damage the electricity infrastructure. The Sinai Peninsula: According to Gazan sources, a Palestinian from Rafah who joined ISIS several years ago was killed in an exchange of fire with Egyptian soldiers in the Bir al-Abd region. Africa: ISIS’s activity focused mainly on military forces in the various countries. ISIS's West Africa Province (belatedly) claimed responsibility for carrying out a combined attack on a Cameroonian army camp and an aid force that arrived at the scene, killing a total of 26 soldiers.
