Eye on the World: Supporting peace and stability in Syria and Iraq
As the Iraqi and Syrian conflicts grow and seem to become more complex, more players are coming onto the scene. The Christian Science Monitor reports that “Russian fighter planes and military advisers have begun arriving in Iraq to help stem the advance of ISIS forces, after embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki complained that the US was too slow in fulfilling its pledges of air support.”
In another article, the Monitor reports on the declaration by ISIS, the jihadi group fighting in Iraq, that they have established a caliphate that gives their leader authority over the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims. These over-reaching ambitions may be too much for them to sustain, but the situation bears watching all the same.
