The November 13 attacks in Paris show that Daesh has moved to a most serious phase, targeting civilians going about their daily activities. The several almost simultaneous attacks in Paris placed all life activities under threat. The strikes targeted a stadium where an international football game was playing in the presence of the French president, a music hall and a restaurant. 

Earlier this month, French President François Hollade asked to his Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to launch reconnaissance flights over Syria in case of new potential raids against the Islamic State. On September 16, Le Drian himself declared that France may strike in the "coming weeks […] once we have well identified targets" (source: Bloomberg). In this way, Paris is going to expand its action from Iraq to Syria.

Four days of approval of the new law against terrorism, Daesh hits back Egypt, with the aim to intimidate the population and leadership. The rules approved were some 54 repressive measures to combat, including the death penalty was therefore assumed that the caliphate did hear his voice with retaliatory action.

Recent major developments (political, security, etc.) In the Middle East represent a challenge that seriously jeopardizes the identity of this region. In addition, the rise of sectarian atmosphere "ethnic-religious" increases the risks that arise especially with the growing state of psychological division that now dominates the mentality of a majority of citizens in the Middle East.

Among the most important challenges facing the Middle East today is the idea of the impossibility of coexistence between the peoples of the region, which requires an application to the Division-based religious or ethnic or sectarian. This simply means a complex recipe that will lead to a fragmentation of the long term.

With improper delay the turkish government decides to get serious in contrast to the militias Isis heavily bombarding a column of terrorists on the border turkish Syrian. So far so explicit action never happened; We are therefore faced with a watershed political: today Turkey has a more ambiguous position of opposition Daesh.

The Tunisian government closed 80 mosques hoping this is the more effective response to the terrorist attack of Sousse. The measure actually looks superficial and of little use to contrast ISIS right now. Mosques should instead remain open and be monitored absolutely right to rebuild the network of potential affiliates and supporters of Daesh.

Tunisia is totally lacking an intelligence apparatus that can prevent isolated actions and group of terrorists, information is lacking direct and precise, lack undercover agents even in the sidelines of the dangers subversive.

On the second Friday of Ramadan Daesh launches a global offensive in four states and three continents. The Caliph Black wants to prove to the world that succeeds without investing huge resources to hit any target anywhere. The attack on tourists in five-star resort in Tunisia clearly shows the new strategy at Isis who wants to destroy the Tunisian economy to plunge the country into a deep economic crisis more easily so recruiting men to use in the fight to the West . Do not forget that recruiters find new followers very easily in areas where strong economic suffering social inequalities and poverty are increasing.

The division of Syrian territory TriageDuepuntozero

 

Isis fighters have captured the city of Tadmur, located in the heart of the Syrian territory. The town, located on the main the road that connects the west to the east from Homs to Deir Ezzor, is an important strategic achievement for the Islamic State, which put its hands on the air base of Palmyra. On May 14, the IS had conquered the city of al-Sukhna, 70 km east of Tadmur. The Idlib-based coalition called Jaish al-Fatah, product of the alliance between members of Jabhat al Nusra and other opposition groups, took control of the military base of Mastouma, in Idlib province.

Right now a standard peacekeeping mission is useless if not negative for the stabilization of Libya. The problem today is the emulation Isis and the lack of a strong government recognized by all to put the economy. Then you have to facilitate the solution of these two problems with intelligence activities. An intervention on the ground classic coalition would create chaos and lead the tribes are not aligned to counter the Europeans would witness then to suicide bombings and reprisals different. A true gift to Daesh.

The head of the European Union foreign policy Federica Mogherini is considering asking the European Union to consider sending troops into Libya to allow the formation of a national unity government, but the plan is for now received with great skepticism by individual EU governments are very concerned about the risks it entails.

It will be the next meeting of EU foreign ministers to be held in Brussels this week that can be attributed or not to Mogherini the right to develop proposals for a possible mission in Libya.
