Farid Al-Madhan, the man known as Caesar, can finally reveal his identity. Most of the trials of Syrian regime figures to date have relied on the photographic evidence he smuggled out of Syria.

Listen to Monica 👇🏼
5 key Arab states—the UAE, Saudi, Jordan, Qatar & Egypt—sent this letter to Rubio “unequivocally” condemning Trump’s endorsement of ethnic cleansing. It won’t happen. But it will distract from Trump’s domestic power grabs, juice up Hamas & put Americans at more risk of terrorism

The US Civilian Protection Center "is the outgrowth of an initiative begun during President Trump’s first term" under SecDef Mattis -- who as a general had told troops "whenever you show anger or disgust toward civilians, it's a victory for al-Qaeda."

Every situation is different, but the lessons from the Sadr City siege were not followed through in the later siege of Mosul, or indeed in current conflicts such as in Gaza, where operations have focused on locations of greatest population density with huge loss of life. /ENDS
