Mosul residents looking forward to liberation...

Iraq's Mosul residents feel relief, anxiety as 'liberation' nears
Tuesday 9th August, 2016: As Iraqi forces prepare to attack Islamic State in its de facto capital of Mosul, residents inside the city and others who have managed to escape expressed relief at the prospect their home could be liberated from the extremist group's harsh rule.

But they also warned that if the assault is successful, the city's Sunni-majority population would refuse to return to what they called the repressive yoke imposed by the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad in the past. The Iraqi army and its elite units that will lead the offensive are gradually taking up positions around the city 400 km (248 miles) north of Baghdad, from whose Grand Mosque in 2014 Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a caliphate spanning regions of Iraq and Syria. The offensive is slated for late September, said Hisham al-Hashimi, who works for the government as a consultant on IS affairs and is author of the book "The World of Daesh" (IS).

Eight Mosulite men, contacted secretly by phone on the outskirts of the city, said signs of dissent are increasing ahead of the expected assault. They all spoke on condition of not being identified for fear of retribution. Walls have been daubed with the Arabic letter M, for "muqawama", or resistance, or two parallel stripes, one red and one black, representing the Iraqi flag, said a resident who spoke from one of the rare areas that still gets mobile telephone coverage. "These are acts of real bravery," he said. "If you're caught, you're dead." The Iraqi national flag was raised twice in public squares, once in June and again in July, infuriating the militants who tore them down the next morning, residents told Reuters, authenticating videos posted on Facebook pages.

An unknown number of people were arrested after the July incident, among them former army officers, they said. With a population at one time as large as two million, Mosul is the largest urban centre under the ultra-hardline militants' control. Its fall would mark their effective defeat in Iraq, according to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. Many IS leaders have fled Mosul for Syria with their families ahead of the planned offensive, Iraq's defence minister Khaled al-Obeidi said on July 30. As Iraqi forces tighten the noose, the militants have grown increasingly paranoid, residents said.

The militants have always kept tight control on communication to preempt hostile propaganda and prevent informants from passing on information to the Iraqi forces or the U.S.-led anti-IS military coalition that is carrying out most of the airstrikes on their positions. They blocked mobile networks in 2014 and banned satellite TV earlier this year, allowing home internet access only through a server they controlled. As of a month ago they restricted internet access further to a handful of official Wifi centres manned by supervisors who monitor content over users' shoulders. At checkpoints set up by the IS "amniya", or security committee, people are asked if they have Facebook and must unlock their phones to prove that they do not. "Thank God I don't even know what Facebook is, but I was jailed for a week and paid a fine because they found dancing music saved on my mobile," said a taxi driver reached by phone.

YOUNIS'S STORY

The facts are clear: Nobody is calling for a ceasefire in Mosul but there are hundreds of thousands of civilians that will be affected by the liberation. Cease fire demands went silent anyway, when the terrorists started their offensive in Aleppo.

Civilians expected to be caught in the middle of Battle for Mosul...

Aid Groups Fear Battle for Mosul Will Be Disaster for Civilians
October 13, 2016 - More than 62,000 civilians are believed to have fled Mosul in recent weeks as Iraqi forces prepare for a final assault to retake the city from the Islamic State terror group. And there are growing indications they may be among the last to safely escape.

Despite talk by U.S. and Iraqi officials about setting up safe routes and government-controlled screening centers to handle the flow of fleeing civilians, aid groups say they are seeing few indications Iraq is serious about making adequate preparations. Instead, they say Iraqi military planners seem intent on locking down Mosul in an effort to make sure no one — IS fighter or innocent civilian — is able to leave. “What we’re hearing is that the nature of the operation now has fundamentally changed and what the military is speaking about now is an operation in which the local population would be sealed in, so to speak,” Human Rights Watch senior Iraq researcher Belkis Wille told VOA. “They’re calling on civilians in Mosul to put white flags on their doors and simply to stay there,” she said.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), which has been helping tend to almost 38,000 Iraqis who have fled from Mosul and surrounding areas at the Debaga camp, is likewise alarmed. “There are no identified safe routes in place to allow people to escape,” said Wolfgang Gressmann, NRC country director.

Calamity to come?

It could be a humanitarian disaster in the making. “We expect hundreds of thousands to attempt to flee when the fighting gets more intense,” Gressmann said. “With no safe exits, they will risk getting trapped in the crossfire while we will be unable to reach them.” According to United Nations estimates, as many as 1.5 million people are living in Mosul, and officials expect as many as 200,000 to flee as soon as the battle for the city begins in earnest. But with the start of the final assault weeks or days away, long-sought accommodations for displaced Iraqis are lagging far behind.

U.N. officials say six displacement camps have been built so far, capable of housing a total of about 50,000 people. And while there are plans to ready 11 more, humanitarian organizations are quick to point out they have received only about half of the $280 million they requested in July to meet the needs of the expected flood of civilians. Aid agencies also say as many as 800,000 civilians could flee as the fighting intensifies. And in a worst-case scenario, in which as many as 1 million people flee Mosul, a top U.N. official warns the costs would skyrocket to perhaps as much as $1 billion.

Savages.






And to think that the mother of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's Islamic lover and advisor and perhaps future First Lady of USA ( Mercy Lord...) .....is linked to a horrible book called "Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations" ,where it says that genital mutilation, among other atrocities , is perfectly fine.

Film 'Stop the Cut' meant to educate against FGM...

Cinema May Turn Tide Against Female Genital Mutilation
October 13, 2016 | WASHINGTON — Female genital mutilation has been widely denounced by global and non-governmental organizations. It is a practice that is deeply rooted in some cultures. But a new study indicates attitudes can be changed through film.

Worldwide, more than 200 million girls and women are believed to have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), according to the World Health Organization. More than 3 million girls are at risk of FGM every year. In 2012 the United Nations called for a global ban on FGM. Last year world leaders agreed on a target of eliminating FGM by 2030, according to Reuters. A U.N. report this year lists 30 countries where it is practiced, almost all in Africa. However, the Orchid Project, a charity that campaigns against FGM, says it believes the practice occurs in at least 45 countries and is more widespread in Asia and the Middle East than commonly perceived, Reuters reported.

FGM causes severe pain, excessive bleeding, poor healing and urinary problems, according to WHO. Later, it can cause problems in childbirth and even newborn death. The WHO views it as a form of torture and a violation of the rights of children. In many cultures, FGM is based in tradition or religion. Many practitioners believe it reduces promiscuity in women, makes women more pure and, in patriarchal societies, more desirable for marriage. But a new study suggests that cinema can change attitudes about FGM, possibly reducing the practice. Researchers at the University of Zurich showed four versions of a film to about 8,000 people in 127 villages in Sudan. The films depicted everyday conflicts within extended families.

Researcher Charles Efferson says there is a reason they chose to use cinema to address the problem of FGM. “Entertainment can be an attractive tool for change because people like to be entertained basically,” he said. Investigators found that a film examining cultural attitudes toward FGM involving elders in an extended family had the greatest impact. And arguments for the suitability of girls for marriage if they had not been mutilated also seemed to change viewers’ attitude, at least temporarily, toward limiting or ending the practice.

Co-researcher Ernst Fehr says it appears movies might be a more successful strategy to end FGM than criminalization and global condemnation. “In a nutshell,” he said, “our results show that entertaining movies that dramatize a family’s internal strife about cutting can improve attitudes about uncut girls.” The Swiss researchers say they want to follow up with the villagers in several months to see whether the films have led to more permanent attitudes against female circumcision. The findings were published in the journal Nature.

200 million girls and women in more than 30 countries have undergone FGM...

Female Genital Mutilation Haunts Somalis in US
October 24, 2016 - The United Nations estimates 200 million girls and women in more than 30 countries have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM).

Somalia has the highest rate in the world recorded by the United Nations, with about 98 percent the country's female population between the ages of 15 and 49 affected by FGM. Although the procedure is illegal in the United States, many Somali natives now residing in the U.S. underwent FGM as young girls and still live with pain. And, in some Somali communities, the practice is carried out in secret.

The U.S. state of Minnesota is home to a large number of refugees from Somalia. Fadumo Afi, who lives in the Twin Cities area, a 55-year-old mother of seven who complains of medical problems, remembers how she was mutilated with an unsterilized instrument. She said she underwent the procedure, along with another girl, when she was 6. "It was too harmful to us because we have not even had anesthesia," she said. "We were living in the areas where medicati2on wasn't [available]. We couldn't even pee."

Physical, emotional scars

Fartun Weli says she's unable to have children due to FGM, which is why she founded Isuroon, a nonprofit organization that advocates for Somali women living outside Somalia and works with women who have life-threatening medical conditions as a result of having undergone FGM. Weli underwent what is considered the most dangerous type of FGM, known as Type III, which includes the complete sewing shut of the vagina. She says she still has physical and emotional scars.

According to the U.N. Population Fund, which works with youth and women, there are three types of FGM, and Type III, called infibulation, causes vaginal obstruction that can result in accumulation of menstrual flow in the vagina and uterus. Infibulation can also cause difficulties during sexual intercourse or childbirth, and can be fatal. "Well, the complication is hard. You have a problem with sexual issues. You have a problem going to see the doctor...when they going to do pelvic exams," Weli said. "It really, really hurts. You are self-conscious about your sexual needs and you are asking yourself 'Why am I not normal?' Now we are living [in] America, second or third generations, and we are becoming friends with non-Somalis, so we discuss about this issue."

Imam: FGM prohibited

FGM is a traditional practice that has nothing to do with Islam, says Sheikh Hassan Jami'i, an imam in the Twin Cities area. He said he has four daughters and none have been subjected to FGM. "All scholars of Islam agree that FGM is prohibited," he said, "That's why I'm proud as a father that I have never practiced this harmful FGM. In Islam, there is a principle that says whatever is harmful, it's prohibited."

Khalid Mohammed, a Somali-American Twin Cities resident, agrees. He has seen his sisters suffer from the practice and wouldn't recommend that others go through the same ordeal. "I have sisters who have suffered from FGM and because of the trauma and problems they have gone through, I see it as something too bad,” he said. “Their menstrual cramps last longer and they experience more pain and can't even afford to do their daily work."
