in the rebel-held town
of Douma,
in the enclave of eastern Ghouta
outside Damascus.

We traveled to Al Hol camp in northeast Syria

With fewer Kurdish-led forces guarding the camp
because of the U.S. withdrawal and the Turkish invasion,
the question of what will happen

Someone Else's War - when your child joins the war against
Isis Video The Guardian
5 April 2019
To date at least 20 British nationals,
some with no previous experience of combat,
have travelled to Syria to fight Isis on the frontline.
Eight of these Brits have lost their lives.
This film follows the journeys of parents
as they investigate why their children went out
to join the Kurdish army in their fight against Isis,
including visiting the places they died in Syria.
What led these young Brits to risk everything,
travelling thousands of miles from home
to wage war against the world’s
most feared terrorist organisation,
fighting someone else’s war?

The Guardian 15 July
2015
Islamic State left Macer Gifford angry and disgusted.
Like many in the UK,
as he watched Isis grow in power
during 2014.
But unlike most other Britons,
he decided to leave his job
and fly to Syria
to join the fight on the ground.
He argues that the British government
has let down the people of Syria and Iraq,
and calls for them to increase bombing raids
and further arm the resistance.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife, evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
