Heavy fighting in the area during the last week and the temporary loss of Aden airport to the Houthis led to the evacuation of foreign diplomats from the city by boat, ferried by Saudi naval vessels to Jeddah on Saturday.

According to an Aden port official, Chinese diplomats and expatriate workers, altogether 590 persons, were evacuated by a Chinese warship that docked on Sunday (=> picture below).

France - Jihad Starts at School


The following articles are presented in the original version without own comments. For a better understanding it should be noted that France is a laicistic country where all kinds of religious symbols are prohibited in public institutions.


- French classmates said to recognise 'child killer' in IS video -
AFP, Toulouse


A child who appears to execute an Arab Israeli in a video released this week by the Islamic State group is said to have been recognised by classmates in France, an official said Friday.

The schools inspector in the Haute-Garonne district in southern France said students in the city of Toulouse believe they recognised the boy, who appears to be no more than 12.

"Concerning the formal identification of this person, I cannot tell you anything," Jacques Caillaut told reporters. "Children from the Vauquelin College have recognised one of their classmates, but we must remain cautious."

Shocked students had seen the video on Wednesday and counselling was put in place for them, he said.

According to the inspector, students at the Vauquelin secondary school would have known the boy when he was still in primary school in Toulouse.

"There is a child who has not been enrolled at the Vergers (primary) school since March 14, 2014, but I do not have any other details," Caillaut said.

French officials Thursday launched a formal investigation into the video, which also features a French-speaking man.

According to sources close to the investigation, the man is probably Sabri Essid, who has close links to French jihadist gunman Mohamed Merah, the killer of three soldiers, three students and a teacher in southern France in 2012.

In the video, a youth identifying himself as 19-year-old Mohammed Said Ismail Musallam is shown kneeling in front of the boy. A man stands at his side.

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit that is standard in videos of IS executions, the man seen kneeling recounts how he was recruited by Israeli intelligence, a claim denied by his father.

The man standing nearby, speaking in French, issues threats against Jews in France, before the boy walks around in front of the hostage and shoots him in the forehead using a pistol.

The boy, who shouts "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic), then shoots the man four more times as he lies on the ground.

Sources familiar with the case have said the boy may be 31-year-old Essid's stepson.

Known to intelligence services as a key figure in the radical Islamist community in the southern city of Toulouse, Essid is suspected to have left France for Syria last year.

The following article in French has been shortened. It deals with a group-specific behaviour of Muslimic children at school and which is aiming at the establishment of features characteristic to a Muslimic community, thereby getting around the rules of laicism that provide an established and generally accepted state doctrine for the Republic of France. All observations reported here have been investigated by French state security. An intelligence report, dated 28th November 2013 and presenting about 70 examples on some 15 pages, finally found its way into the media and was quoted by the Paris daily "Le Figaro" in their article titled - Muslimic group formation is challenging the school system -.

As to the wearing of a veil in the schoolyard, the demand for halal meals in the canteen, that chronic absence during the days of Islamic feasts, and clandestine prayers in the gymnasium or in the halls, - it's all about a war of wear and tear on the teachers in the form of some kind of planned retreat to uniformity. During the Great Feast of Islam, classes are generally deserted, and up to 90% of all pupils are reported missing in certain delicate districts of Nîmes or Toulouse. Even self-declared "young guardians of orthodoxy" are pressuring young Muslims almost right under the nose of their teachers.


- Le communautarisme musulman défie l'école -
Le Figaro, Paris


Une note confidentielle des services de renseignements, portée à la connaissance du Figaro, révèle que, de manière insidieuse, une forme de repli identitaire se fait jour dans certains établissements scolaires.

Port du voile dans les cours de récréation, revendications de repas halal à la cantine, absentéisme chronique au moment des fêtes religieuses, prières clandestines dans les gymnases ou les couloirs… De manière insidieuse, le communautarisme musulman cherche à gagner du terrain dans le système éducatif français.

..........

La note confidentielle des services de renseignements dresse un état des lieux édifiant. Ce document, épais d'une quinzaine de pages et daté du 28 novembre dernier, est émaillé d'environ 70 exemples précis à travers toute la France.

..... les policiers révèlent comment les adeptes de la «tradition islamique rigoriste» tentent de contourner la loi de mars 2004 prohibant les signes religieux à l'école.

Lancés dans une guerre «d'usure» face à la laquelle le corps enseignant est démuni, d'autoproclamés «jeunes gardiens de l'orthodoxie» exercent au sein même de certains établissements des pressions sur les jeunes musulmanes. «Lors des fêtes musulmanes, et plus particulièrement lors de l'Aïd-el-Kebir, des classes sont désertées par les élèves», souligne le rapport qui révèle des taux d'absentéisme frisant les 90% dans des quartiers sensibles de Nîmes ou Toulouse.

Libya - Islamic Militia Fighting ISIS




新华网开罗3月14日电的黎波里消息:利比亚宗教民兵武装“利比亚黎明”14日在北部城市苏尔特与极端组织“伊斯兰国”武装人员爆发严重冲突。这是自“伊斯兰国”今年2月占领苏尔特以来,双方首次爆发冲突。

News from Tripoli received from XinHua Network in Cairo on March 14: Libya's religious militia forces "Libyan Dawn" have burst into serious clashes with armed personnel of the extremist organization "Islamic State" in the northern town of Sirte on [March] 14. This is the first outbreak of clashes between both sides since Sirte was occupied by the "Islamic State" in February.

苏尔特是利比亚前领导人卡扎菲的家乡。今年2月中旬,“伊斯兰国”逐步控制了苏尔特,控制了当地的政府大楼、大学和广播电台。“利比亚黎明”随后进驻苏尔特郊区,说要将“伊斯兰国”武装人员赶出苏尔特,但并未采取军事行动。

Sirte is the hometown of former Libyan leader Gaddafi. This year, in the middle of February, the "Islamic State" [i.e. ISIS] step by step began to dominate Sirte. They took over control of the local government building, the university and the radio station. Soon after, the "Libyan Dawn" entered and remained in Sirte suburbs, saying that armed personnel of the "Islamic State" needed to be rushed out of Sirte. However, no military operation was carried out.

在“利比亚黎明”14日与“伊斯兰国”武装人员爆发冲突后,利比亚“救国政府”总理奥马尔·哈西在首都的黎波里召开记者会表示,不会容许“伊斯兰国”在利比亚扩展。

On [March] 14, clashes broke out between the "Libyan Dawn" and armed personnel of [ISIS] the "Islamic State". In the capital of Tripoli, Omar al-Hasi, the prime minister of Libya's "government of national salvation" convened a press conference where he indicated he would not tolerate the "Islamic State" to expand in Libya.


[Source: People's Network quoting XinHua Network 新华网 on March 15, 2015]




Position of Sirte (Surt)


Libya is known to be ruled by two opposing governments, that one in Tripoli and another one in Tobruk near the Egyptian border. Even though the Tobruk administration is internationally accepted, especially by western countries, the regime in Tripoli is in control of essential parts of Libya. It is being supported by "Libyan Dawn", an Islamist coalition.

As to the presence of the "Islamic State" ISIS in Libya, here the following information:
ISIS has expanded its influence from Syria and Iraq where it has set up a "caliphate" and gained a foothold in Libya, where it has claimed several bombings.

Last month a Libyan branch of ISIS claimed the beheading of 21 Christians, mostly Egyptians, prompting Cairo to launch retaliatory air strikes on jihadist targets in the North African country.

North Korea - Nuclear Capacity Increased




Hwasong 6 (SCUD-C) tactical missile


韩称朝鲜已能组装核导弹 导弹或能威胁美国本土

South Korea says the North is already capable of setting up nuclear missiles.
Guided missiles could probably threaten U.S. territory.


参考消息网1月7日报道 外媒称,韩国国防部6日发布《2014年国防白皮书》,介绍朝鲜军队动向,为韩国军队提出发展方向。

据韩联社1月6日报道,《国防白皮书》就朝鲜的核能力首次添加了“朝鲜核武器小型化能力似乎已达到相当高的水平”的内容。白皮书还指出,朝鲜通过多次对乏燃料棒再处理,拥有了可以制造核武器的40多公斤的钚。国防部官员表示,没有情报显示朝鲜已实现可将核弹头搭载至导弹的核武小型化。


On January 7, the Network for Reference News quoted foreign media as saying that South Korea's defence ministry issued its "White Book on National Defence in 2014" where North Korean army trends are being introduced as an orientation for the development advanced by the South Korean army.

Based on a report from South Korea's united agencies on January 6, the "White Book on National Defence" deals with North Korea's first time increase of its nuclear capacity, comprising " North Korea's capacity to scale down nuclear weapons which seems to have already reached a considerably high level ". The White Book also refers to North Korea undergoing several times a lack of [reprocessed] fuel rods and its possession of more than 40 kg [self-]produced plutonium. An official from the national defence ministry indicated that there are no intelligence reports showing whether North Korea already realized the scaling down of nuclear weapons [to such a degree needed] for loading nuclear warheads into guided missiles.




No-Dong-A / Rodong-A ground-ground missile

.....

韩国国防部还说,朝鲜通过一系列远程导弹测试,可能具备了研制能够危及美国本土的导弹的能力。

据彭博新闻社网站1月6日报道,韩国国防部称,朝鲜可能已经开发出了能够威胁到美国的弹道导弹,并建立了能够更快入侵韩国的渗透网络。


The South Korean defence ministry informed as well that North Korea is undergoing a series of long-range missile tests and is probably provided with the capability of developing a missile capacity that is sufficient to endanger U.S. territory.

A Bloomberg news report from January 6 quoted South Korea's defence ministry as saying that North Korea has probably already developed ballistic missiles that could sufficiently threaten the United States. At the same time it has built up an infiltration network to enable an even faster invasion of South Korea.

美媒评出朝鲜五大噩梦级武器:在韩国引爆核背包

U.S. media comment on North Korea's five big nightmare weapons :
Nuclear rucksacks detonating in South Korea.


The Chinese article is referring to what North Korea calls the " Five Big Nightmare Weapons ". It includes an evaluation of the country's military options and mentions dirty bombs as well as chemical weapons. This is going together with North Korea's striving for the ability to " deliver a nuclear blow on U.S. territory ".
As to the chemical weapons, it is accepted knowledge that North Korea owns one of the most extended stocks of chemicals, comprising about 2500-5000 tons of war grade material, thus making the country the No.3 owner of such weapons worldwide.

朝鲜的主要《大噩梦级武器》在威胁敌国:
第一种是“脏弹”。第二种武器为化学武器。

第三种武器就是可以“对美国进行核打击”。

The Face of ISIS


Last Update added on March 9, 2015



تسجيل صوتي لذبّاح داعش: أنا ليست متطرفاً

Sound record on ISIS killings : I am no extremist.


["Jihadi John" Emwazi in a meeting with some member of British intelligence
as quoted by Al-Arabiya. يتحدث عن لقاء جمعه مع رجل استخبارات بريطاني]


Today, 8th March 2015, the British Daily Mail published an article dedicated to Mohammed Emwazi who became known as " Jihadi John " and who is allegedly starring in some beheading video produced by his German brother in faith Denis Cuspert. Because of his terrorist videos, Denis Cuspert is being regarded as chief propagandist of ISIS and has been likened to nazi propaganda chief Goebbels. He originally became known as rapper " Deso Dogg " and is linked with another German, Marcel Schrodel, regarded by German intelligence as a violent jihadist. Cuspert and Schodel were supposedly radicalised by Mohammed Mahmoud, the Austrian-born leader of banned Islamist group Millatu Ibrahim.

Emwazi, Islamic convert Schrodl and Londoner Ali Adorus were finally stopped by the Tanzanian authorities at Dar es Salaam airport as they arrived for what they had claimed was an innocent safari holiday. The Daily Mail has established that the supposedly strict Muslims were held not because of their political affiliations, but due to their drunken and violent behaviour on a Dutch KLM flight from Amsterdam to Dar es Salaam, according to the Tanzanian government. Further informations on Schrodel and Adorus are given in the original article.

The quoted article contains additional photos of Emwazi and Cuspert that are not used in this blogspot.

[Source: People's Network quoting Guang Zhou Daily 广州日报 on March 3, 2015]


Editor's Note:
The above quotation is referring to an email contact between Jihadi John and a British journalist in 2010, and is feeding assumptions that Emwazi was already paranoid before he left the United Kingdom. He is a Kuwaiti-born British citizen and was raised in Kensington, London, in an environment that brought about other violent jihadists. Emwazi is said to have received anger management therapy during his first year in secondary school.

Syria - Commander of Al-Nusra Front Killed


This morning, the death of a key figure within Syria's Al-Nusra Front (also known as: Jabhat al-Nusra جبهة النصرة) has been reported by Al-Arabiya. In their fight against the Assad regime, the Al-Nusra Front is considered to be affiliated to Al-Qaeda organization as represented by Ayman al-Zawahiri. At the same time, it is seen in opposition with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), even though an ideological link between both organizations cannot be denied. However, it is still unclear who was behind the death of commander Abu Hamam.

Yemen - Houthis Welcome Iran




طائرة إيرانية تحط بصنعاء والرئيس هادي يعترض

Iranian plane landing in Sana'a [earns] protest from president Hadi.


أكد الرئيس اليمني عبده ربه منصور هادي أن الاتفاق الذي وقع أمس السبت بين إيران والحوثيين على تسيير رحلات بين البلدين باطل وغير قانوني.ـ

The Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi confirmed that the treaty, signed yesterday on Saturday [Febr. 28] between Iran and the Houthis on the proceedings of travel between both countries, is both useless and illegal.


Editor's Note:
The Arabic article is referring to the landing of an Iranian passenger plane in Yemen's capital, carrying 12 tons of medical supplies as well as tents and Iranian Red Crescent aid workers, Iran's deputy ambassador Rasai Ebadi told Associated Press. Such effort is benefitting Houthy rule in Sana'a who had agreed to allow Iranian air traffic to the capital.
That decision is considered illegal by an opposing Yemeni government which has been only recently established in Aden, South Yemen. Their strongman Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a former vice-president, took over from Yemen's first president Ali Abdullah Saleh who had fled the country in 2011 in the frame of an uprising. On 22 Jan. 2015, Hadi resigned himself as acting president of Yemen when the Houthis seized the presidential palace and placed him under virtual house arrest. A month later, he escaped to his hometown of Aden, rescinded his resignation, and denounced the Houthi takeover as an unconstitutional coup d'état. His assertion of legitimacy has been challenged by the Houthis, who named a Revolutionary Committee to assume the powers of the presidency, as well as the General People's Congress, Hadi's own political party. Now, Hadi is quoted as saying that his predecessor " Saleh conspired with Iran to undermine a power transfer deal " and which should have led to the actual situation [Source: Reuters].

Latest news from the same edition of Al-Arabiya are indicating support of Yemen's counter-government in Aden by all other countries of the Arabian peninsula. Saudi-Arabia and the Gulf States should be most interested in a stable Yemeni government, aligned to the region's official position towards Iran and controlling the steady flow of working force from Yemen into these countries:

الكويت والإمارات تنضمان إلى السعودية وقطر وتستأنفان عمل سفارتيهما في اليمن من عدن

Kuwait and the Emirates join Saudi-Arabia and Qatar and let their embassies in Yemen reassume work in Aden.

Year of the Goat 2015




Welcome to the Year of the Goat !

There is some ambiguity in the Chinese character leading to its translation
as "sheep" or "goat". This is because many Chinese words are composed
of two characters instead of one. So it's up to you, if you want to see it as a
"docile lamb" 小羊 or rather a "powerful ram" 公羊. The isolated character
Yang 羊 has both of it which never created a problem in Chinese astrology.

After reports about female teenage runaways being attracted by ISIS, there is some need for basic information on the status of women in Islam.
