March 30, 2018 Rojava Syria

Rojava Syria: the Turkish invasion of northern Syria puts the area's Kurdish people at risk. The Rojava Montreal collective reports that with Afrin fallen to the Turkish military the situation of Kurdish civilians and their defenders is desperate. It claims the Turkish military is supported by ISIS and jihadist groups while U.S. support for the Kurds is no longer there. As the Turkish Army's objectives widen from Afrin to Manbij, Kobani, Qamisio, there is a fear of a genocide against the Kurds in the region. This has been a danger in the U.S. manipulation of Kurdish male and female fighting forces to engage ISIS, while they are also in a struggle for autonomous freedom in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. In 2017 Israel endorsed an Iraqi Kurdish leader's referendum calling for an independent Kurdish State, a move which could increase the chances of genocidal retaliation against the Kurds by the many states whose lands they would be reclaiming. Turkey threatens to march into Shengal as well, where the Ezidi people (Yazidis) believe they are intended targets of a genocide by the Turks. In 2014 the Ezidis were slaughtered by ISIS forces in Shengel when the Kurdish PKK abandoned the city. As Kurdish forces prepare to leave again they say that this time the Ezidis have been organized and are able to defend themselves. When Turkey crossed the border it should have been met with immediate objection and actions by the UN Security Council. The Kurds and Ezidis are being denied their human right of protection under the Convention on Genocide. Both groups are currently under a genocide warning in both Iraq and Syria, and the Kurds in Turkey as well. ANF News reports that French President Emmanuel Macron has met with a Rojava delegation from the North of Syria and will commit French forces to the Manbij region in their defense.

March 31, 2018 Myanmar: the Berlin Conference on the Myanmar Genocide, February 26, 2018 (see previous) has adopted a "Rohingya Protected Return Call." Kyle Mathews of The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) which co-convened the conference, advises that current return of the Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh where they live in the largest refugee camp on the planet, be delayed due to reports that military groups are waiting to attack them in Myanmar. MIGS which cooperates overtly with U.S. and Canadian government initiatives, should have access to reliable data. The Conference concluded that there's an intentional effort in Myanmar to destroy the Rohingya as a people. Genocide warning. While early warning signs for genocide were available as early as 2012 Canadian defenses against genocides have been very slow to work with the issue due to their reliance on academia which is increasingly oriented to corporate policies, reliance on government funding, and reliance on backroom political mechanisms for applicable legal support. Within Myanmar Win Myint, a close supporter of Aung San Suu Kyi was elected the new president March 28, 2018. Through what may be a shell game of presidencies Aung San Suu Kyi, retains her dominance in the specially created post of state counsellor. The military as well retains an equal share of the national authority. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing recently declared that the Rohingya culture has nothing in common with Myanmar's other ethnicities, and the problems (tragedies) derive from the Rohingya demand for citizenship. Some Rohingya families have lived in Myanmar-Burma for centuries. The UN Secretary General has made a plea for leadership's unified effort to stem the incitement of hatred.

With Rohingya crisis, we’re once again bystanders to horrific atrocities," Gerald Caplan, March 23,2018, globeandmail.com; "Myanmar parliament elects Suu Kyi loyalist as new president," Associated Press, March 28, 2018, The Washington Post; "U.N. chief 'shocked' by top Myanmar general's comments on Rohingya," Reuters Staff, March 27, 2018, Reuters; "Genocide Denial in Canada," J.B.Gerald, Oct. 26, 2016, nightslantern.ca.
