March 2023: Nuns inspect damaged parts of Deir Mar Mikhael.
"The area where the monastery sits was known to the Mosulites as 'Hawi al-Kanisa' in reference to it [having been] a church, hundreds of years ago," Archbishop Najib Mikhael Moussa said.
Since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the residents of Mosul have lived in insecurity. In June 2014, the city was taken by the ISIL armed group till July 2017. But even after, Mosulites suffered scattered attacks that added to the feeling of being unsafe. [Ismael Adnan/Al Jazeera]

Born from Urgency, 2017 by Joey L. is the second of a three-part documentary series released by photographer Joey L. (following Guerrilla Fighters of Kurdistan, 2015) which documents the Kurdish, Arab, and Syrian guerrilla organizations (particularly YPG/YPJ, PKK, and SDF) as they fight on the frontlines in Syria, Iraq, and the Syria-Turkey border against the Daesh (ISIS) in the Syrian civil war.
All 3 documentaries can be viewed for free on Joey L.’s website here.

“Traffic deaths of pedestrians are up by 70% in the last 10 years and pickup trucks are largely to blame, according to a story from The Hill that we ran this week.
The number of walkers killed by “light utility trucks” rose from 732 in 2010 to 1,773 in 2021.
The reasons are obvious. Pickup trucks have long since ceased to be the single-bench-seat, utilitarian work vehicles of my youth, and morphed into monsters. It used to be rare to see a large four-door pickup. Now, it’s practically impossible to buy anything else.
To make them look brawnier, manufacturers raised suspensions and put huge grilles on the front. The hoods are so hard to see over that one congressman has proposed requiring new trucks to have forward-facing cameras and sensors to reduce “frontover” accidents, which is running over people or things you can’t see through the windshield.
There’s a better way: smaller trucks. They exist. We just can’t buy them.
(…)
Every time I see that, I say to myself (or anyone unlucky enough to be in earshot) “There, that’s the truck I want” — minus the machine gun, which I’d only need if I were driving Kris Kobach in a parade.
But we can’t get those trucks here because of two reasons: profits and politics.
Profits, because car manufacturers make way more per unit selling jumbo trucks. And politics because of an antiquated trade policy levying a 25% tariff on imported light trucks, in retaliation for a European tariff on U.S. chicken.
(…)
According to an Axios study, shopping and errands are the No. 1 use of pickups, with 87% of owners reporting they do that frequently. Second was pleasure driving, 70%, and third, commuting, 42%.
Only 28% said they frequently use their trucks for personal hauling, and towing was a piddling 7%.
That same study showed that in 1985, mini-trucks were slightly more than a quarter of all pickups sold. By 2010, that had dropped to zero, and full-size trucks had over 90% of the market.
(…)
So if you want to try to make a dent in traffic fatalities, gasoline usage and global warming, call or write your congressperson and ask them to repeal the Chicken Tax.
That’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. U.S. trade negotiators made a deal in 2011 to allow Korean light-truck imports by 2021, but President Donald Trump, a big fan of trade wars, pushed that back to 2041.
Ditching the Chicken Tax might break the big-truck stranglehold on the market. If smaller import trucks sell, as I suspect they would, our domestic manufacturers might be led to retool and compete.
And then, when it comes to buying a pickup truck, we might once again be as free as the Taliban.”

On This Day In History
March 19th, 2003: US President George W. Bush orders air strikes on Baghdad., beginning the US-Iraqi War.
This war would last over 8 years and failed to find any supposed weapons of mass destruction or connection between Iraq and the terrorist attacks in 9/11/2001. The war directly resulted in the death of an estimated 300,000 civilians, and indirectly more due to factors like poorer healthcare, increased lawlessness, and degrading infrastructure. The created power vacuum also contributed directly to the rise of the terrorist group the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Da'ish).

Sant Joan d’Isil, a Romanesque church built from the 12th century in Isil (High Pyrenees, Catalonia). Photos by SBA73 on Flickr.
A medieval relief of Adam & Eve in the outside walls of St. Joan d'Isil church. The destruction of their private parts was done centuries ago, by some puritan fanatic, probably a priest.
The 12th-century Romanesque church of St. Joan d'Isil is rather unique. This quite big church has its three apses built right in the fierce Noguera Pallaresa mountain river. I don't know of any other Romanesque (or any other) church built almost inside a river, and specially such a savage river. It's known that several times the apses have had to be rebuilt.
Now the church still serves as part of Isil village cemetery.

March 2023: "ISIL looted all the property of the monastery and deliberately vandalised and distorted it with graffiti. The monastery was also bombed by planes because ISIL was sheltering in it and using it to store weapons and manufacture explosives," Moussa told Al Jazeera.
The damaged altar is seen. A number of churches are now being reconstructed by UNESCO and with the support of the UAE, other churches are being rebuilt through efforts and donations of the congregation. [Ismael Adnan/Al Jazeera]

Αποκάλυψη Kontra News: 800 μαχητές του ISIS πέρασαν στην Ελλάδα μέσω της Κύπρου
ΓΙΑ μια ακόμη φορά αποδεικνύεται ότι τα σύνορα της χώρας έχουν γίνει σουρωτήρι.
Με μεγάλη καθυστέρηση οι αρμόδιες υπηρεσίες ανακάλυψαν ότι 800 μαχητές του ISIS που ήταν επικηρυγμένοι από το καθεστώς Ασαντ πέρασαν στην Ελλάδα με ό,τι συνεπάγεται μια τέτοια εξέλιξη σε μια περίοδο κατά την οποία η κρίση στη Μέση Ανατολή εγκυμονεί κινδύνους για τρομοκρατικά χτυπήματα.
