Admitamos Marruecos como Oriente. Aquí ha pasado algo muy raro:

El ministro de Estado marroquí, el islamista Abdelah Baha, ha muerto tras ser arrollado por un tren en Buznika, a 40 kilómetros de Rabat.

Marruecos está muy revuelto últimamente, las relaciones con Francia van de mal en peor (yo sostengo desde que vieron que cuando España se puso firme en Perejil Chirac los dejaba tirados, oficialmente desde la llegada de Hollande al Eliseo), han tenido grandes peloteras con USA, cuestionando públicamente a diplomáticos yanquis. Con la ONU están a palos y lo del Sahara empiezan a verlo gris de tormenta, con Argelia las provocaciones habituales marroquíes están a nivel medio-alto.

M6 empieza a ver que la primavera en Marruecos igual se adelanta unos meses...

Añado que M6 cada día se comporta de manera mas frívola, los últimos plantones a China y Rusia son inverosímiles

Britain to build first permanent Middle East military base in four decades
Foreign secretary Philip Hammond says new facility in Bahrain guarantees Royal Navy’s Gulf presence

theguardian.com, Saturday 6 December 2014 11.19 GMT

Philip Hammond, says the expansion of Britain’s naval presence in Bahrain is a clear statement of commitment to the region
Britain will set up a permanent military base in the Middle East for the first time in more than four decades.

Four minesweepers have operated from the Mina Salmon port in Bahrain, but the new facility will also be a base for much larger ships including destroyers and aircraft carriers.

Foreign secretary Philip Hammond said the deal with Bahrain would guarantee the Royal Navy’s presence in Bahrain well into the future. He said: “The expansion of Britain’s footprint builds upon our 30-year track record of Gulf patrols and is just one example of our growing partnership with Gulf partners to tackle shared strategic and regional threats.”

Me piden que transmita un rumor: habría amenazas de algún tipo y tal vez no sería buena idea acercarse a los centros comerciales durante este finde.

Bueno, no se que credibilidad darle, pero el miedo es gratis, dicen.

Syria says Turkish incursion a 'flagrant aggression'​
By: Al-Araby al-Jadeed/Agencies Date of publication 22 February, 2015

Turkey, Syria, Aleppo, Suleyman Shah
Syria responds angrily to a raid by Turkish troops to evacuate an historic tomb inside Syria and the soldiers guarding it saying it was an act of "aggression", as tensions between Ankara and Damascus escalate.
The Syrian government attacked Turkey on Sunday for what it called "flagrant aggression", after almost 600 Turkish troops, along with tanks and armoured vehicles, entered Syria to evacuate the guards of the tomb of Suleyman Shah in Aleppo province, transferring the remains to Turkey before a later reburial within Syria.

"Turkey is not satisfied with merely giving all kinds of support to its puppets Daesh [IS], [al-Qaeda affiliate] the al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups," said a foreign ministry statement carried by the official SANA news agency.

The foreign ministry said that it had been informed of the plans beforehand, but that it had not given its consent.

"The remains of [Suleyman Shah] have been temporarily repatriated and will be reburied inside Syria at a later date," Ahmet Davutoglu had earlier said.

Suleyman Shah is the grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, and his mausoleum in Syria, on the Euphrates River some 30 kilometres (18 miles) inside Syrian territory, is considered sovereign Turkish territory under a 1920s treaty.

40 soldiers had been guarding the tomb, which was in an area controlled by the Islamic State group (IS, formerly ISIS).

Turkish authorities denied press reports last week suggesting that one of the guards may have been kidnapped by IS.

The remains will be reburied in Ashma, Syria, and area that has been placed under the control of the Turkish army. The Turkish flag has been raised in preparation for the relocation.

Opinión Rey de Jordania

[Lego]

Interesante, pero trata a EEUU como actor externo en una guerra interna dentro del Islam.

Premisa endeble si uno tiene "sospechas" de que esos bandidos han sido creados por EEUU, que será "externo" en lo geográfico, pero sin duda alguna es parte nuclear del conflicto. Más aún, podría considerarse  a EEUU (mejor dicho, algunos intereses occidentales) la fuente del conflicto. Su origen, o al menos su catalizador y multiplicador.

Es un artículo políticamente correcto, divulgable en EEUU sin ganarse la oposición de los auténticos bandidos.

A Kerry lo traiciona el subconsciente en Egipto: "Trabajemos por el futuro de Israel"





El secretario de Estado estadounidense, John Kerry, tuvo un lapsus apenas compareció en una conferencia sobre economía internacional en Egipto. En un desayuno para invitados de honor el jefe de la diplomacia de Estados Unidos instó a los presentes a trabajar por el bien "de Israel".

Cuando en su intervención abordó el papel de Estados Unidos en apoyo a la inversión y al Gobierno egipcio, John Kerry dijo: "Todos debemos luchar por el futuro de Israel". Entonces, al darse cuenta de su error, el Secretario de Estado se disculpó y dijo: "Por el futuro de Egipto", lo que terminó generando risas entre los asistentes, informa 'Lenta.ru'.

El foro económico dedicado al desarrollo económico y la inversión en Egipto, que comienzó este viernes en la ciudad turística de Sharm el-Sheij, durará hasta el 15 de marzo y, según espera el Gobierno egipcio, contribuirá a la restauración después de la crisis política que socavó la economía del país árabe más poblado.

Kerry tiene la intención de discutir con el presidente egipcio, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, la cooperación bilateral y asuntos regionales, entre ellos la lucha contra el grupo extremista Estado Islámico, la situación en Libia y la crisis siria.

Lo curioso es que buscando en google news sólo aparece una referencia al gazapo en un medio turco, pero el link de google falla. Sólo he encontrado una nota en un periódico de El Cairo, diciendo que la empabajada USA achacaba el error al largo viaje en avión.

No es justo, con Bush al menos podíamos reírnos de sus meteduras de pata épicas, ahora hasta nos privan de ese malsano consuelo.

Es interesante la descripcion de los medios, combinada con la activacion de manifestaciones desde el interior.

De STRATFOR:

Who controls Yemen?

While the al-Houthi movement struggles to manage multiple regional challenges in northern Yemen, its rise to power is a setback for Saudi Arabia. After the fall of the Yemeni government, Riyadh will have to capitalize on the al-Houthis' need for political and financial support to re-establish its influence in the country. But because Iran is trying to fill that support gap, too, Yemen has become another battlefront for the two sectarian rivals.

Since Yemen's president was driven from the capital of Sanaa in September, Yemen's government has been at war with itself. President Abd Rabboh Mansour Hadi issued a statement March 19 denouncing the airstrikes on his compound in the southern port city of Aden as an attempted military coup by forces loyal to his predecessor and onetime ally, former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Earlier that day, soldiers and militiamen loyal to Hadi battled their way into Aden's airport and stormed a nearby military base, both of which were under the control of Gen. Abdel-Hafez al-Saqqaf, a Saleh loyalist.

The al-Houthis represent a change in the balance of power in Yemen that has opened the door for Iran to become a major player in what was the exclusive domain of Saudi Arabia not long ago. While Saudi Arabia has long meddled in Yemen, Riyadh lost sight of developments in the country while focusing on other regional fights. It was not that Saudi Arabia was not paying attention to Yemen, it just was not expecting Iran to gain ground on its southern frontier via a movement that is not traditionally Shiite and, in fact, is theologically closer to Sunni Islam.

The Saudis see the al-Houthis as a possible threat from Iran. How the Saudis engage with the group and try to distance it from Iran will be a key factor to watch. Meanwhile, Yemen's deteriorating security situation has created another Saudi-Iranian geopolitical struggle that will last into the foreseeable future.

Respuesta de forero Paveway IV:

Here's the 30-second spiel for what you need to know about Yemen:

The corrupt U.S. puppet president, Hadi, was put in place in an Arab Spring uprising to ensure the U.S. had Yemeni permission to drone AQAP in Yemen. The Houthis were infuriated by this because so many Yemeni civilians were being killed in U.S. drone strikes on AQAP targets. Yes, even though Houthis and al Qaeda are mortal enemies.

I'll repeat it because its important - the truth is opposite the central lie, i.e, the Western MSM narrative/lie of Sunni/Shia conflict:

Shi'ite Houthis are pissed off because so many Sunni civilians are dying as a result of U.S. airstrikes. The Houthis don't want to rule Yemen, they just don't want the current U.S. puppet Hadi to keep getting rich from U.S. bribes while he permits U.S. drones in to kill Sunni civilians with impunity. Get it?

Shi'ites protecting Sunnis or at least protesting their unjust deaths at the hands of the U.S.

Houthis would love if the U.S. was doing what it said and taking out AQAP, but the U.S. are bumbling, incompetent fools that think nothing of trading a few dozen dead Sunnis for the opportunity to take out one maybe/kinda al Qaeda guy that was sort of suppose to be somewhere (they think) at around a certain time BUT THE DON'T KNOW ANY OF THIS FOR SURE. Hadi pretty much told the U.S. "Kill as many Yemeni Sunnis as you feel is necessary (or simply cause through incompetence) on a hunch if you think there might be an AQAP guy somewhere in the area."

Iran has nothing to do with the Houthis or why they're pissed off at their U.S. puppet president. Houthis are Zaydi Shia - completely different than Iranian Shia. In fact, Iran is also in favor of the U.S. taking out AQAP but not at the expense of innocent Yemenis. Iran might be pissed that the U.S. staged another coup d'etat (under the guise of the Yemeni Arab Spring) to put in a drone-free-for-all approving president, but they have no interest in getting involved militarily in Yemen. There is no secret Shia pact between Yemenis and Iranians - that's not how it works (except on CNN).

The U.S. wants continued, unfettered access to Yemeni airspace to randomly kill Sunni civilians with the hope of smoking a few al Qaeda somewhere in the crowd. If Sunni civilians are killed, the U.S. forks over a couple thousand bucks and an apology. The U.S. figures that justifies a few 'accidents'. Sunni and Shia Yemenis DON'T AGREE. They hate their U.S. puppet Hadi for allowing drone strikes to continue. They also hate him for enforcing the IMF austerity crap, but they can deal with that - that's not why they're rebelling.

Saudi Arabia wants the drone strikes to continue because AQAP and Yemen is right next door to them. The whole al Qaeda shit-show they created with the U.S. is going to be visiting them NEXT and they're peeing in their robes at the thought. The Saudis figure that no amount of Yemeni civilian casualties are too high if the drones occasionally hit an AQAP 'suspect' and keep them the hell out of Saudi Arabia. Likewise, the Saudis will kill as many Yemenis as they need to in order to ensure the U.S. drone-approving puppet Hadi remains in power.

(AQAP = Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula)
