    "An overview of the lack of equality and oppression of women under Sharia - the position of women in Muslim majority societies." Women have little to no rights under sharia law and insist on revoking said law.

    I bookmarked this article because the former UN and Arab League envoy to Syria is saying something I suspected from the start: the conflict could have been resolved in 2012, but none of the countries involved had the interest of Syrian people as their first priority.

    Another article about the political realism shown by Western countries in their policies on Syria. It states that history will look on the war in Syria critically, making the claim that they would never have stood by watching.

    Caucasus Emirate is another al Qaeda-linked group that is fighting in Syria, Aleppo more specifically. I was surprised by how much detail was divulged by the group about their role in the fighting.

    I found this article from 2015 to still be very relevant considering President Obama's speech and a recent push by university/techs to communicate regarding the exact threat of ISIS' cyberterrorism capabilities. The NSA reported that this means of war is parallel to that of the Cold War; leaving countries on edge since traditional human espionage is slowly becoming intertwined with "technical operations."

    This article depicts a very real and recent trauma that Yemen is undergoing; their healthcare system and facilities, much like other poorer middle eastern countries, is on the brink of extinction. This raised the question that we have been discussing in class; would foreign aid eliminate poverty? While there are millions in Yemen starving, would it be justified to provide their country with aid as more developed countries are supplying refugee camps in Jordan and Syrian rebels?

    This recent update is a report on Vice President Joe Biden's visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden assures Israel U.S. will back Israel's security in response to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps reports their "ballistic missiles are capable of reaching Israel." Israel was not in favor of U.S. negotiations re: Iran Nuclear Deal last year, and they seriously doubt more security assurance from our end.

    Women's rights in Egypt has made little to no progress since the passing of an anti-demonstration law in 2013. The movement has been forced to become stealthier.

    It's a secret of the vast U.S. Treasury market, a holdover from an age of oil shortages and mighty petrodollars: Just how much of America's debt does Saudi Arabia own? But now that question -- unanswered since the 1970s, under an unusual blackout by the U.S.

    FOR the past half-century, the world economy has been held hostage by just one country: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Vast petroleum reserves and untapped production allowed the kingdom to play an outsize role as swing producer, filling or draining the global system at will.

    THERE is nothing Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, likes more than taking everyone by surprise. Except, perhaps, demonstrating that his country is an independent actor on the world stage that has to be taken seriously. Thus, the announcement from the Kremlin on March 14th that Russia was partially withdrawing its forces in Syria was vintage Putin.

    The Algerian government does not recognize human trafficking an illegal offense. Instead Algerian authorities use the offenses of "hiding and exchange of children", "abuse of job authority to sexually exploit others", "forced prostitution" and others to prosecute some forms of trafficking in persons.

    Algeria is a source country for women to be subjected to forced labor along with sex trafficking and men are often subjected to forced labor. Algeria is a destination for undocumented migration and human trafficking. Criminals and traffickers smuggle people in and out of the country and are sold to neighboring countries.

    This post is written from an author's point of view. She did years work of research for her film "The Price of Sex." She mentions how human trafficking is typically occurred because the people who are sold are living in poverty and are falsely promised a good job that will allow them to provide for their families.

    Both the Syrian government and the opposition have reported violations of the cease fire. Although the US is on board with the truce, Russia seems to believe they are not and are planning to use force against violators until the US agrees to the joint rules.

    This article written by Hillary E. Crawford explains to us some ways we can help Egyptian women fight for equality. She continues to explain that Egypt, on their own, are making small strides. "In September 2014, Egypt's parliament acknowledged the prevalence of sexual violence toward women by creating an Interior Ministry unit that installed street cameras to better monitor and prevent sexual attacks."
