ISIS EXECUTES 90 OWN MEMBERS FOR UNWILLINGNESS TO FIGHT SYRIAN ARMY NEAR IRAQI BORDER – REPORT

While on some maps ISIS formally controls no areas in Iraq, indeed, lots of ISIS cells operate on the both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. ISIS has executed 90 own fighters for their unwilligness to fight the Syrian Army near the Iraqi border, Qutri al-Obeidi, a leader of the Popular Mobilization Units in the Iraqi province of Anbar,  told Almaalomah news website . According to al-Obeidi, the incident took place in the area of Hegeen, located 40 km away from the Iraqi border town of al-Qaim. The dead bodies were reportedly thrown to the Euphrates River. If al-Obeidi’s words are confirmed, this will be another signal that the remaining ISIS leadership is loosing its control over the terrorist group’s cells and units across Syria and Iraq.

Recently, a new crisis has erupted in Armenia, a state in the South Caucasus. The balance of power, self-perception of local ethnic groups, and the influence of socio-economic and cultural ideological groups on public policy have significantly changed in the country. These changes are multidirectional, increasing the risk of a new armed conflict. On April 12, an acute i

THE SELECTIVE ASSASSINATION OF NESTLÉ WORKERS IN COLOMBIA CONTINUE

FILE IMAGE: Colombian Police Written by  Daniel Edgar  exclusively for  SouthFront Over the last few weeks three workers employed by Nestlé subsidiaries in Colombia have been murdered in circumstances that indicate they were deliberately targeted for assassination; in one case, the victim had been warned (along with several other Nestlé workers in the region) that he would be considered a military target if he did not renounce his membership of the trade union SINALTRAINAL (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores del Sistema Agroalimentario – the National Food Industry Trade Union). SINALTRAINAL has been the victim of official and extra-official persecution, threats and selective assassinations since its foundation in the early 1980s.
