Air strikes near Tripoli as U.N. peace talks on Libya resume Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:55 PM PDT By Ahmed Elumami and Aziz El Yaakoubi TRIPOLI/RABAT (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Libya's internationally recognized government carried out air strikes on Wednesday near the capital Tripoli, which is controlled by its rivals, officials said, as United Nations-brokered peace talks resumed in Morocco. U.N. Special Envoy Bernardino Leon condemned the air strikes as an attempt to prevent a Tripoli delegation from traveling to Morocco for the new round of talks. "We have seen negative messages (aimed) toward this dialogue but we have never seen air strikes at the moment when one of the delegations is taking off on its way to the talks," Leon said, according to a U.N. statement. Two governments, one based in the east, the other in Tripoli, are fighting for control of Libya and carrying out tit-for-tat air strikes, four years after the ousting of veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi. |

Islamic State gains ground near capital of Iraq's Anbar province Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:47 PM PDT Islamic State militants gained ground in western Iraq on Wednesday, overrunning several villages on the edge of the capital of Anbar province, police sources and local officials said. Iraqi police came under attack from the insurgents at dawn in Albu Ghanim and withdrew from the area, about 5 km (3 miles) northeast of the provincial capital Ramadi, sending hundreds of families fleeing. The militants blew up the police station in Albu Ghanim and advanced further toward Ramadi, seizing the villages of Sofia, Albu Khalifa and Sor, police sources and members of the provincial council said. Abu Jasim, who left Albu Ghanim soon after it fell early on Wednesday, said the insurgents had set up a checkpoint at the main entrance to the village and planted their black flag there. |

UN envoy on sexual violence heads to Mideast on first visit Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:18 PM PDT UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. special representative on sexual violence said Wednesday she is making her first trip to the Middle East where extremist groups are increasingly using rape and sexual attacks as a "tactic of terror." |
Is 'pretending' to be Muslim an appropriate history assignment? Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:07 PM PDT Some confusion was due to the wording of the email, with some in the media criticizing the phrasing, "pretend" to be Muslim. According to Union Grove superintendent Al Mollerskov, the email using the word "pretend" was only sent to one student who was absent from school, and was not used in the original, in-class writing prompt. "She wanted students to learn something from the assignment, not become Muslims," Mr. Mollerskov says. Polls show some Americans do want to learn more about Muslims and the faith of Islam. An Arab American Institute poll found 52 percent of respondents said they needed to learn more about Muslims before evaluating their attitudes toward them. A 2014 study from Pew Research found that only 38 percent of those surveyed personally know someone who is Muslim. |

Why one Iraqi youth turned away from violence Posted: 15 Apr 2015 11:45 AM PDT Al-Nasir Bellah Al-Nasiry knows it could have gone either way. After being shot in the leg at 17 during an attack outside his Baghdad home, Dr. Al-Nasiry is fully aware that the normal response for a youth who was raised in a country mired in violence would be to want to exact revenge. Instead, the incident set Al-Nasiry on a mission of ensuring that this generation of Iraqis has systems and role models in place so they are less susceptible to joining the ranks of ISIS and other violent extremist groups. The 26-year-old doctor, who is from Baghdad and is half Kurdish, half Arab, remembers the immense pressure he felt to retaliate against his attackers. |

War, poverty deprive 21 million children of education in Middle East Posted: 15 Apr 2015 11:23 AM PDT By Maria Caspani NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Worsening conflicts, poverty and gender discrimination in the Middle East and North Africa are driving 21 million children and young adolescents out of school, two United Nations agencies said on Wednesday. One in four children are either not in school or are at risk of dropping out in a region that has otherwise made significant progress in attendance rates, according to a joint report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Institute of Statistics. "At a time of such change and turmoil, this region simply cannot afford to let 21 million children fall by the wayside," said Maria Calivis, UNICEF's regional director in the Middle East and North Africa. |

Islamic State reverses some losses in Iraq amid US-led airstrikes Posted: 15 Apr 2015 05:38 AM PDT The so-called Islamic State attacked villages on the outskirts of Ramadi in apparent preparation for an attempt to take full control of the last population center outside its hands in Iraq's westernmost province. The provincial government has been under siege in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar Province, since the start of 2014, and most of the province is now outside of government hands. CNN quotes Anbar Provincial Council member Falih Essawi as saying the central government's grip is slipping, with an IS (also known as ISIS) effort to cut off the city from Baghdad to the east underway. Essawi said ISIS militants made significant advances Wednesday in three areas east of Ramadi: Albu Soda, Albu Ghanem and parts of Soufia, which leads to central Ramadi. |
Air strikes near Tripoli as U.N. peace talks on Libya due to resume Posted: 15 Apr 2015 05:06 AM PDT Forces loyal to Libya's internationally recognised government carried out air strikes on Wednesday near the capital Tripoli, which is controlled by its rivals, officials said, as United Nations peace talks were due to start in Morocco. Two governments, one based in the east, the other in Tripoli, are fighting for control of Libya and carrying out tit-for-tat air strikes, four years after the ousting of leader Muammar Gaddafi. U.N. Special Envoy Bernardino Leon will host a new round of talks in Morocco on Wednesday, Western powers including the United States, Britain, France, Germany said in a joint statement. Mohamed El Hejazi, spokesman for army forces loyal to the government of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni, said war planes had attacked Tripoli's Mitiga airport and other targets in western Libya. |

Four Britons who sought to get to Syria arrested on return to UK Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:05 AM PDT Four Britons who were detained in Turkey on suspicion of trying to cross illegally into Syria were arrested on their return to England on Wednesday, police said. The four were part of a group of nine people, all members of the same family, who were detained in Turkey at the beginning of the month. One of the nine, a 21-year-old man named in the media as Waheed Ahmed, the son of a British local politician, was arrested when he returned to Britain on Tuesday. Thousands of foreigners have joined the ranks of Islamic State and other militant groups in Syria and Iraq, many of them crossing via Turkey. |
New U.N. site for flights in conflict zones issues warnings on Libya, Egypt Posted: 15 Apr 2015 01:01 AM PDT A new United Nations website distributing warnings about risks to aircraft in conflict zones issued its first advisories on Wednesday, for countries including Libya, Iraq, Egypt and South Sudan. The website was set up after the downing of a Malaysian passenger aircraft over an area of fighting in Ukraine last year and is hosted by the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The initial advisories came from the United Kingdom, and warned of the risks of anti-aircraft weaponry in Libya, Iraq, South Sudan and the Sinai peninsula area of Egypt. |
