Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Cooking? Berbere is the distinctive spice mix of the Horn of Africa, what curry is to India. Afewerki's is a particularly enigmatic mix.
Interesting that Eritrea has peacekeepers on the Chad-Darfur border, presumably with Khartoum's approval. A part of Afewerki's Sudan strategy seems to remain on good terms with both sides (which, the Times article said, even the US acknowledges has been helpful.)
I don't think the US or Israel are quite in Eritrea's league in the torture department. But such comparisons are ugly. One torture state does not excuse another.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
