There's a lot at stake for Turkey in Idlib, and it is now going to have to live up to its part of the deal with Russia, a big challenge. @erinmcunningham with a good rundown washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…

Good thread on the findings of Russia’s enquiry into how its plane got shot down by Syrian air defenses. It finds Israel highly culpable. twitter.com/msuchkov_alm/s…

The old #Yemen “will never come back." - A visit to the Yemeni city of Mukalla by @kfahim reveals the obstacles faced by a fractured Yemen, raising questions about US policy. It also shows how the civil war has eroded national unity, potentially forever. wapo.st/2DlBBSn?tid=ss…

A boat carrying refugees from Lebanon to Cyprus sunk today & a child died. It's a long & treacherous journey & hasn't been part of the migrant route. But it is starting up amid pressure on Syrian refugees to go home. naharnet.com/stories/en/250…

No, @ForeignPolicy, it is not "Time for Peace Talks with #IslamicState & #alQaeda". This would bestow legitimacy on groups that the vast majority of locals abhor. Far better to address the deep grievances that drive people to join them in the first place

Rumours that Nechirvan Barzani will be KDP's nominee for Iraqi presidency. And PUK just officially decided to file Barham Salih as their nominee. If Nechirvan's nomination is true, Iraqi presidency race will be no less interesting that of the premiership.

Susan, thank you for this apology. I appreciate it. I'm pleased you articulated a willingness to learn, and hope that it represents a desire to protect the work of journalists and a free press, and to respect and uphold the lives and legacies of those portrayed in your film.

.@DeirEzzor24 is no longer owned by its original network. It’s apparently been hijacked by a rogue member from northern Syria (founders disconnect it from its former Idlib & Aleppo franchises)👇 Follow @AliAlleile instead: twitter.com/AliAlleile/sta…

I was 17. Raped by a friend. I was confused. In denial. Afraid. His parents were richer & better connected than my parents. He was a "good" student. Ppl liked him. The only friend I told--responded w: "He wld never do that." I didn't think anyone would help me. #WhyIDidntReport twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

If you would like to read a book about Syria by entirely non-MSM journalists, I would also recommend "Brothers of the Gun" by @marwanhishampen, a Syrian who lived thru the ordeal in Raqqa, & @mollycrabapple, an independent & progressive artist.

Thanks again Susan. Your Iraq war point is valid. But there are many horrors around the world that no one in the US would hear about at all if it wasn't for journalists, who are overwhelmingly MSM, whether freelance or staff, going there to cover.

UPDATE: Susan Sarandon has issued a gracious apology for referring to journalists as "traitors." Hopefully this will help ameliorate the increasingly dangerous climate for journalists. Thank you @SusanSarandon. Sometimes Twitter has a happy ending.
