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.

Warning of a campaign of "genocide" against the Tuareg people, the rebel Niger Movement for Justice (MNJ) reports of escalating atrocities by the army in the north of the country. In a recent case, four civilians were shot execution-style at close range in the village of Tchintébizguint Nov. 22.
Our sources in the MNJ say thousands of Tuareg who have been forced to flee the towns of Iferouane and Issouf have taken refuge across the border in Algeria, where an emergency relief effort is being organized for them.
MNJ representatives also report Niger government forces are systematically attacking the camel herds which sustain the nomadic Tuareg tribes—with army troops killing up to 100 camels in one day in November.

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.
