The jihadi bride's legal team are now preparing to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, but if this fails she faces a deeply uncertain fate in one of the world's most dangerous and conflict-riven regions. The 24-year-old is currently being held in Al Roj, a filthy, brutal temporary tent city teeming with dangerous ISIS loyalists who use threats and beatings to enforce their extremist ideology. Assuming she is unable to return to the UK, Ms Begum will be held indefinitely inside the camp, which could remain open for as long as 20 years at the current rates of repatriation, according to UN special rapporteur Fionnuala Ní Aoláin.

historians may look back on October 7, 2023, as the day that triggered an unethical descent to global war. Beginning with Israel's self-defense in response to a brutal Hamas terrorist attack, Washington, D.C., must have comprehended the devastating threat of this conflict to engulf the entire region - and perhaps even the world. Now, as a heavily armed, Iranian-trained terror army braces for a complete assault on the Jewish State of Lebanon, an undeniable nightmare scenario is emerging just beyond Israel's boundaries. Tens of thousands of Hezbollah rockets raining down on Israel, triggering increasingly destructive rounds of counterattack and increase, and pushing the tiny nation of 9 million to its breaking point. The mullahs of Tehran, drawn to their dim apprehension of Israel's complete and utter destruction, launch their terrorist proxies from Syria to Iraq and elsewhere.

Hossein Amirabdollahian said the "hands of all sides in the area are on the trigger" and that there could be just hours to prevent the conflict from spreading throughout the Middle East. He said the Iranian-backed Hezbollah have war-tested all scenarios and are ready to combat as more than 300,000 Israeli reservists gather on the Israeli frontier in Beirut,' he told reporters. "I want to warn the war criminals and others who support this group before it's too late to avoid the murders of civilians in Gaza because it may be too late in a few hours.'

MARK ALMOND asks how long will Putin be smiling again as he returns to the international fold

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 20, 2023
Bashar Al Assad (pictured with Prince Badr Bin Sultan, deputy governor of Mecca) is no longer a pariah. The Syrian emperor was welcomed like the returning prodigal son at an Arab League conference in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Syria was kicked out of the regional body just 12 years ago after its tyrant began to wage a brutal war against his own people. However, the Arab states, with the notable exception of Qatar, are still willing to watch the butcher's atrocities. The Saudis and other Gulf monarchs, as well as the West, bankrolled the rebels fighting Assad's reign. Arab leaders, on the other hand, wretchedly clutched his blood-soaked hands. This rehabilitation of a despot is not limited to sickening; it sends a troubling warning to other authoritarian regimes. If you stick with it long enough, they will come to an end, and even states that condemn you today will eventually welcome you back to the fold.

I hadn't felt this way through the years of war,' Anas Habbash, a 37-year-old Aleppo native who escaped with his son and pregnant wife this morning, said, 'I haven't had that feeling all through the years.' 'This was much more difficult than shells and bullets,' he said.'
