  • The Wisbech Standard 26/06/11 Fenland District Archaeological
    The Wisbech Standard 26/06/11 Fenland District Archaeological Planning - A Response to Councillor Melton We the undersigned consider to be shocking and potentially disastrous the recent declaration by Councillor Alan Melton (reported in the Cambs Times and Wisbech Standard) that, as of July 1st, the Fenland District Council will no longer apply archaeological planning condition. His speech to the Fenland Council Building and Design Awards ceremony at Wisbech noted the safeguarding of natural and aesthetic concerns, but made no mention of heritage aside from: “in local known historical areas, such as next to a 1000 year old church…. Common sense will prevail! The bunny huggers won't like this, but if they wish to inspect a site, they can do it when the footings are being dug out”. If Fenland District Council proceed with these plans, not only will it find itself contravening national planning guidelines and existing cultural and heritage statute and case law, it is likely any development will be open to legal challenges that will involve the Council (and by extension its rate-payers) in major financial costs and cause prospective developers serious delays, if not worse. All these factors run counter to Councillor Melton’s arguments and he will place Fenland District Council at a considerable financial risk. Rather than, as claimed, being an impediment to local development, development-related archaeology is a highly professional field and the vast majority of such excavations within England occur without any delay or redesign consequences to subsequent building programmes. Indeed, not only is archaeological fieldwork a source of graduate employment, but also now significantly contributes to the local rural economy (plant hire, tourism etc.).

  • Survey of Infiltration Karez in Northern Iraq: History and Current Status of Underground Aqueducts
    IQ/2009/SC/RP/1 September 2009 Original: English Survey of Infiltration Karez in Northern Iraq: History and Current Status of Underground Aqueducts A report prepared for UNESCO by Dale Lightfoot Department of Geography, Oklahoma State University Executive Summary Subterranean aqueducts, known as karez in Iraq, were identified, mapped and placed in historical context to document this important part of Iraq’s cultural heritage and to provide guidance for plans to rehabilitate karez systems in Iraq. Information was collected from existing karez inventories held by the Federal Government of Iraq (GOI) and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG), historic cadastral maps which recorded the location of many karez, and through interviews and personal observation during several weeks of fieldwork conducted across northern Iraq. This work has documented 683 infiltration karez throughout the northern governorates (Dohuk, Ninewah, Erbil, Kirkuk, and Sulaymaniyah). The karez in this region have been adversely impacted by drought and excessive well pumping. Almost 40% of karez documented—and 70% of those that were still flowing five years ago—have been abandoned since the onset of drought in 2005. As a result of this decline, over 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes since 2005. The study identified 116 karez that were still being used in summer 2009, but all have diminished flow, placing an estimated 36,000 people at risk of displacement. The recent decline of karez and the resulting migration can be considered to be an early warning signal for other serious problems concerning the future water supply in the area. The study recommends urgent intervention to restore the karez in 50 communities.

  • Purification of the Mind (Jila’ Al-Khatir)
    PURIFICATION OF THE MIND (JILA’ AL-KHATIR) DISCOURSES BY SHAIKH ‘ABD AL-QADIR AL-JILANI 1 PURIFICATION OF THE MIND This book contains discourses that Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani delivered at his school in Bagh- dad. As in all of his sermons and writings, the Shaikh explains in these discourses to his audi- ence how to draw nearer to Allah. His words are the fruit of years of personal strife against his lower self and complete dedication to Allah, thus telling the fascinating story of his attainment to nearness to Allah. •INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The first edition of this translation came out in 1998. Ten •BIOGRAPHY OF years later, we are proud to present this much improved SHAIKH ‘ABD AL- translation. One aspect of the improvement is that the first translation was too literal. The problem with that approach QADIR AL-JILANI is that the original Arabic text is so metaphorical, poetic, and full of imagery. The revised translation also corrects a number of mistakes in the first attempt. Furthermore, we have removed any Arabic text, and only a small number of transliterations were left. As a result, the revised translation reads much better and is more faithful and accurate than the translation of the first edition. One other change we have made is to make the translated title, Purification of the Mind, the main title and the original Arabic title, Jila’ Al- Khatir, the subtitle, which is the opposite to what we did in the first edition. We think this is more appropriate given that the book is for English readers.

  • Whose Kurdistan? Class Politics and Kurdish Nationalism in the Middle East, 1918-2018
    LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE Whose Kurdistan? Class Politics and Kurdish Nationalism in the Middle East, 1918-2018 Nicola Degli Esposti A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, 13 September 2020 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,640 words. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of the different trajectories of Kurdish nationalism in the Middle East. In the late 2010s – years of momentous advance for Kurdish forces in Turkey, Iraq, and Syria – Kurdish politics was deeply divided into competing movements pursuing irreconcilable projects for the future of the Kurdish nation. By investigating nationalism as embedded in social conflicts, this thesis identifies in the class basis of Kurdish movements and parties the main reason for their political differentiation and the development of competing national projects. After the defeat of the early Kurdish revolts in the 1920s and 1930s, Kurdish nationalism in Iraq and Turkey diverged along ideological lines due to the different social actors that led the respective national movements.

Maayouf said they explained to the Amir their meeting with the International Olympic Committee in Geneva, refuting allegations against Kuwait that it was not respecting the Olympic charter. The two lawmakers also told the IOC that the Kuwaiti government was not interfering in sports affairs, and on the contrary, has been providing generous aid to sports clubs and federations. The two MPs also called for put- ting an end to the ongoing problem in a way to comply with Kuwaiti laws and sovereignty. Meanwhile, MP Turaiji called on the government to dissolve the Kuwait Football Association, claiming it was responsible for the suspension of Kuwait by FIFA. He said a temporary committee should be appointed to run the association. He also called for suing FIFA at the international sports court for taking an arbitrary deci- sion to suspend Kuwait. Liberal MP Rakan Al-Nasef called for holding accountable those responsible for the suspension of Kuwait football.
