Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (28 April 1937[4] – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003. A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organisation Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunnis, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.
Saddam formally rose to power in 1979, although he had been the de facto head of Iraq for several years prior. He suppressed several movements, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements, seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence, and maintained power during the Iran–Iraq War and the Gulf War. Whereas some venerated Saddam for his opposition to Israel—which included the use of military force—he was widely condemned in the west for the brutality of his dictatorship.
In 2003, a coalition led by the U.S. and U.K. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam, in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda. Saddam's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held. Following his capture on 13 December 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi interim government. On 5 November 2006, Saddam was convicted of charges related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites and was sentenced to death by hanging. His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006.

On 07.April.1947 the Baath party was established. It started with the ideas of the great Syrian philosopher "Zaki al-Arsuzi" (from Arsuz, a city in the occupied - by Turkey of course - Iskenderun). Later the party comprised the ideas of another philosopher "Michel Aflaq". in 1952 the party united with the socialists led by "Akram Al-Hurani", and took its final name "The Arab Socialist Baath Party".
The Baath members were oppressed by the successive Syrian governments.
In 1958 the party was dissolved along with all other Syrian parties as a condition made by the Egyptian president "Jamal Abdul Nasser" to establish the union between Syria and Egypt. The union lasted for three years in 1961 when a group of corrupted military officers backed by merchants and bankers ended the union.
It was a reign of terror and many key members in the Baath party were sentenced to death by the separation government.
On 08.March.1963 a group of military officers from the Baath party organized a coup against the separation government and succeed. This event is know in Syria as 08.March Revolution. It was really a revolution, a true revolution and not like the crappy terrorist Wahhabi revolution we are witnessing nowadays.
The new Baath government made significant changes in the Syrian society. May be you can say that 08.March revolution set the base of everything good in Syria.
After the revolution "Amin al-Hafiz", a rightist from the city of Hama, became the new president. However his strong ties with the Islamists posed a great danger to the ideas of the Baath, and the revolution was at a crossroad. It was a first tough test for the unity of the party. Amin al-Hafiz had to be removed, which was achieved by general Salah Jadid, a leftist from Lattakia countryside.
Noureddine al-Atassi, a leftist from Homs, became the president.
Salah Jadid led a true social movement in the country. He also led a campaign against corruption in the government and the state apparatuses. Salah Jadid himself was known to be honest and clean (he used to live in a rented house in Damascus, and had no house in his village), this was actually the case of the Baath leaders in that period.
The relationships between Syria and the Gulf states entered its worst stage in history (even worse than now), also the relationships with the US and the NATO-bloc, however more ties were established with the soviet union and its allies.
After the defeat in 1967 war, conflicts started to rise again within the party, this time between Salah Jadid (he left the army to lead the political wing of the party) and the defense minister general Hafiz Al-Assad.
in 1970 Salah Jadid sent Syrian tanks to Jordan in order to defend the Palestinians against the King who was massacring them. The Syrian troops advanced rapidly towards the Jordanian capital.
However the tanks were attacked by the Israeli air force. The increasing conflicts between the political and military leadership doomed the campaign to fail, and the tanks had to be withdrawn. The Palestinians had to leave Jordan after a Gulf-Egyptian initiative.
The Baath party was on fire, and it looked like that there was no way out. General Hafiz Al-Assad stepped and ended the conflict, and he became later the president of Syria.
President Hafiz Al-Assad continued the social movements with more "pragmatic ideology".
Being too long in power without maintenance caused serious problems within the body of the party. Being busy with internal struggles against the Muslim brotherhood, and external struggles against Israel (1973, 1978,1982) and against the US (1982 in Lebanon) also increased the problems.
The Baath party is not that devil that some people try to introduce nowadays. The Baath party itself is a victim of corruption, and it is time for the party to redeem its fine reputation.

Shortly after assuming the Presidency of Iraq in July 1979, Saddam Hussein convened a gathering of his Ba'ath Party leaders and publicly had 68 of them removed for alleged treason. Twenty-two of them were subsequently sentenced to death by firing squad.

Archival footage married with part of a Christopher Hitchens speech, showing Saddam Hussein's final purge of the Iraqi Baath Party leadership. You'll notice a couple of small details are different than Hitchens remembers. The audience is larger, and the confessor does not come in wearing chains (metaphorically, perhaps, but not literally.) We don't know exactly how many hundreds of party members were killed in this purge in the whole of Iraq, but of the 68 taken out of this room on July 22, 1979, at least 22 were executed (by their fellow party members). Sadly, the bloodbath for Iraqis and the region was only just beginning.
Remember: Fascism means war.
The speech is entitled "Axis of Evil" and can be found on fora.tv and here on youtube. RIP, Hitch.

Here is some footage - beginning with the celebration from the early days of the revolution among the urban poor - as the Baath party free them from the old bosses. Followed by images of the strange Baath state that Assad then created in Syria. It was centred round countless images of Assad as a the heroic leader of the nation. It is very odd because, unlike Saddam who was doing the same sort of thing in Iraq, in every image and statue Assad looks like a middle manager.

STORYLINE:
British soldiers have pulled down a massive Saddam Hussein statue that was place at the gates of Basra.
Britain's 7th Armored Brigade - the famed Desert Rats - and the Royal Marines are positioned around Basra and awaiting orders to launch a final push into Iraq's second-largest city.
The soldiers have established more checkpoints on the outskirts of Basra, are they say they are taking ever more control of the area.
British forces on Friday stormed into several houses around Basra that they believed to be homes of Ba'ath party members and of Fedayeen militia.
More than 70 suspects were led away after the raids on Friday.
Some of the arrested were singled out by their neighbours, others on the basis of military intelligence.
The British officer in charge of the operation said that army "lifted just those people army have got a very good intelligence on."
Major Paul Nanson said they warned locals of the raid and no shots were fired during the operation.
Over three hundred officers, including a Brigadier general, and thousands of lower rank soldiers are now being held in British POW camps in the desert, near Basra.
The tented camps are filling fast in what is reported by a British journalist embedded with the military to be the biggest war camp in Iraq holding seven-thousand Iraqi prisoners with predictions that it will grow to 10-thousand in a few days.
While the the prison holds Ba'ath Party members and paramilitaries, most of the captured soldiers were conscripts.

In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Saddam Hussein, the man who ruled the country with an iron fist, was captured. He was then executed by the new Iraqi government. However despite what most people believe, taking out Saddam wasn't the problem, taking out his political party - was. In June 2003, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq banned the Iraqi Ba'ath party and all its members. This was the most ill-conceived decision in the whole invasion of Iraq affair, as it completely upset the fragile balance of power that existed in the Middle East.
With this ban, every public sector employee affiliated with the Ba'ath Party was removed from position, and was banned from any future employment in the public sector. But in a totalitarian state as Saddam’s Iraq, being a member of the Ba’ath Party was more a necessity than a choice. It’s like saying that the Soviet Communist Party and its members should have been banned from the public sector when the USSR collapsed. Following the prohibition of Ba’athists from the public sector, thousands of experienced people were excluded from participating in the new government, people such as doctors, professors, bureaucrats, etc. However, perhaps the most important change was that the ban effectively dismantled the Iraqi military and security apparatus, because everyone involved was a member of the Ba’ath Party. Back then the US thought that this was necessary to create a new Iraqi government from scratch. But what it really did was create a void of power; a void that was quickly filled by Iraq’s Shia Muslim majority, with strong support and coordination from Iran. So what really happened was that the US attacked and occupied Iraq, passed legislation, and then immidiately lost the country from right under its nose to Iran. We discussed the rise of Iranian geopolitics and more in a previous CaspianReport.

The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (Arabic: حزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي Hizb Al-Ba'ath Al-'Arabi Al-Ishtiraki) was a political party founded in Syria by Michel Aflaq, Salah al-Din al-Bitar and associates of Zaki al-Arsuzi. The party espoused Ba'athism, an ideology mixing Arab nationalist, pan-Arabism, Arab socialist and anti-imperialist interests. Ba'athism calls for the renaissance or resurrection and unification of the Arab world into a single state. Its motto—"Unity, Liberty, Socialism" (wahda, hurriya, ishtirakiya)—refers to Arab unity, and freedom from non-Arab control and interference.
The party was founded by the merger of the Arab Ba'ath Movement, led by Aflaq and al-Bitar, and the Arab Ba'ath, led by al-Arsuzi, on 7 April 1947 as the Arab Ba'ath Party. The party quickly established branches in other Arab countries, although it would only hold power in Iraq and Syria. The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party was merged with the Arab Socialist Party led by Akram al-Hawrani in 1952 to form the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party. The newly-formed party was a relative success, and became the second-largest party in the Syrian parliament in the 1954 parliamentary election. This, coupled with the increasing strength of the Syrian Communist Party, led to the establishment of the United Arab Republic (UAR), a union of Egypt and Syria. The union would prove unsuccessful, and a Syrian coup in 1961 dissolved the union.

Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was an English American author and journalist whose career spanned more than four decades. Hitchens, often referred to colloquially as "Hitch", was a columnist and literary critic for New Statesman, The Atlantic, The Nation, The Daily Mirror, The Times Literary Supplement and Vanity Fair. He was an author of twelve books and five collections of essays. As a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits, he was a prominent public intellectual, and his confrontational style of debate made him both a lauded and controversial figure.
Hitchens was known for his admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, as well as for his excoriating critiques of various public figures including Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and Diana, Princess of Wales. Although he supported the Falklands War, his key split from the established political left began in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the Western left to the Rushdie Affair. The September 11 attacks strengthened his internationalist embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he called "fascism with an Islamic face." His numerous editorials in support of the Iraq War caused some to label him a neoconservative, although Hitchens insisted he was not "a conservative of any kind", and his friend Ian McEwan describes him as representing the anti-totalitarian left.

Wide shot POW camp 21. Wide shot of Pow camp, With medical unit flag flying STORYLINE: British soldiers have pulled down a massive Saddam Hussein statue that was place at the gates of Basra. Britain's 7th Armored Brigade - the famed Desert Rats - and the Royal Marines are positioned around Basra and awaiting orders to launch a final push into Iraq's second-largest city. The soldiers have established more checkpoints on the outskirts of Basra, are they say they are taking ever more control of the area. British forces on Friday stormed into several houses around Basra that they believed to be homes of Ba'ath party members and of Fedayeen militia. More than 70 suspects were led away after the raids on Friday. Some of the arrested were singled out by their neighbours, others on the basis of military intelligence. The British officer in charge of the operation said that army "lifted just those people army have got a very good intelligence on." Major Paul Nanson said they warned locals of the raid and no shots were fired during the operation. Over three hundred officers, including a Brigadier general, and thousands of lower rank soldiers are now being held in British POW camps in the desert, near Basra. The tented camps are filling fast in what is reported by a British journalist embedded with the military to be the biggest war camp in Iraq holding seven-thousand Iraqi prisoners with predictions that it will grow to 10-thousand in a few days. While the the prison holds Ba'ath Party members and paramilitaries, most of the captured soldiers were conscripts.

Support CaspianReport through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CaspianReport In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Saddam Hussein, the man who ruled the country with an iron fist, was captured. He was then executed by the new Iraqi government. However despite what most people believe, taking out Saddam wasn't the problem, taking out his political party - was. In June 2003, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq banned the Iraqi Ba'ath party and all its members. This was the most ill-conceived decision in the whole invasion of Iraq affair, as it completely upset the fragile balance of power that existed in the Middle East. With this ban, every public sector employee affiliated with the Ba'ath Party was removed from position, and was banned from any future employment in the public sector. But in a totalitarian state as Saddam’s Iraq, being a member of the Ba’ath Party was more a necessity than a choice. It’s like saying that the Soviet Communist Party and its members should have been banned from the public sector when the USSR collapsed. Following the prohibition of Ba’athists from the public sector, thousands of experienced people were excluded from participating in the new government, people such as doctors, professors, bureaucrats, etc. However, perhaps the most important change was that the ban effectively dismantled the Iraqi military and security apparatus, because everyone involved was a member of the Ba’ath Party. Back then the US thought that this was necessary to create a new Iraqi government from scratch. But what it really did was create a void of power; a void that was quickly filled by Iraq’s Shia Muslim majority, with strong support and coordination from Iran. So what really happened was that the US attacked and occupied Iraq, passed legislation, and then immidiately lost the country from right under its nose to Iran.

A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organisation Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein's Very Public Purge
Shortly after assuming the Presidency of Iraq in July 1979, Saddam Hussein convened a gathering of his Ba'ath Party leaders and publicly had 68 of them removed for alleged treason.

Iraq's 1979 Fascist Coup, Narrated by Christopher Hitchens
Archival footage married with part of a Christopher Hitchens speech, showing Saddam Hussein's final purge of the Iraqi Baath Party leadership. You'll notice a couple of small details are different than Hitchens remembers. The audience is larger, and the confessor does not come in wearing chains (metaphorically, perhaps, but not literally.) We don't know exactly how many hundreds of party members were killed in this purge in the whole of Iraq, but of the 68 taken out of this room on July 22, 1979, at least 22 were executed (by their fellow party members). Sadly, the bloodbath for Iraqis and the region was only just beginning. Remember: Fascism means war. The speech is entitled "Axis of Evil" and can be found on fora.tv and here on youtube.

History of the post-war Syria: the Baath
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2011/06/the_baby_and_the_baath_water.html Here is some footage - beginning with the celebration from the early days of the revolution among the urban poor - as the Baath party free them from the old bosses. Followed by images of the strange Baath state that Assad then created in Syria. It was centred round countless images of Assad as a the heroic leader of the nation. It is very odd because, unlike Saddam who was doing the same sort of thing in Iraq, in every image and statue Assad looks like a middle manager.

As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunnis, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.
Saddam formally rose to power in 1979, although he had been the de facto head of Iraq for several years prior. He suppressed several movements, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements, seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence, and maintained power during the Iran–Iraq War and the Gulf War. Whereas some venerated Saddam for his opposition to Israel—which included the use of military force—he was widely condemned in the west for the brutality of his dictatorship.
In 2003, a coalition led by the U.S. and U.K. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam, in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda. Saddam's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held. Following his capture on 13 December 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi interim government. On 5 November 2006, Saddam was convicted of charges related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites and was sentenced to death by hanging. His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006.

On 07.April.1947 the Baath party was established. It started with the ideas of the great Syrian philosopher "Zaki al-Arsuzi" (from Arsuz, a city in the occupied - by Turkey of course - Iskenderun). Later the party comprised the ideas of another philosopher "Michel Aflaq". in 1952 the party united with the socialists led by "Akram Al-Hurani", and took its final name "The Arab Socialist Baath Party".
The Baath members were oppressed by the successive Syrian governments.
In 1958 the party was dissolved along with all other Syrian parties as a condition made by the Egyptian president "Jamal Abdul Nasser" to establish the union between Syria and Egypt. The union lasted for three years in 1961 when a group of corrupted military officers backed by merchants and bankers ended the union.
It was a reign of terror and many key members in the Baath party were sentenced to death by the separation government.
On 08.March.1963 a group of military officers from the Baath party organized a coup against the separation government and succeed. This event is know in Syria as 08.March Revolution. It was really a revolution, a true revolution and not like the crappy terrorist Wahhabi revolution we are witnessing nowadays.
The new Baath government made significant changes in the Syrian society. May be you can say that 08.March revolution set the base of everything good in Syria.
After the revolution "Amin al-Hafiz", a rightist from the city of Hama, became the new president. However his strong ties with the Islamists posed a great danger to the ideas of the Baath, and the revolution was at a crossroad. It was a first tough test for the unity of the party. Amin al-Hafiz had to be removed, which was achieved by general Salah Jadid, a leftist from Lattakia countryside.
Noureddine al-Atassi, a leftist from Homs, became the president.
Salah Jadid led a true social movement in the country. He also led a campaign against corruption in the government and the state apparatuses. Salah Jadid himself was known to be honest and clean (he used to live in a rented house in Damascus, and had no house in his village), this was actually the case of the Baath leaders in that period.
The relationships between Syria and the Gulf states entered its worst stage in history (even worse than now), also the relationships with the US and the NATO-bloc, however more ties were established with the soviet union and its allies.
After the defeat in 1967 war, conflicts started to rise again within the party, this time between Salah Jadid (he left the army to lead the political wing of the party) and the defense minister general Hafiz Al-Assad.
in 1970 Salah Jadid sent Syrian tanks to Jordan in order to defend the Palestinians against the King who was massacring them. The Syrian troops advanced rapidly towards the Jordanian capital.
However the tanks were attacked by the Israeli air force. The increasing conflicts between the political and military leadership doomed the campaign to fail, and the tanks had to be withdrawn. The Palestinians had to leave Jordan after a Gulf-Egyptian initiative.
The Baath party was on fire, and it looked like that there was no way out. General Hafiz Al-Assad stepped and ended the conflict, and he became later the president of Syria.
President Hafiz Al-Assad continued the social movements with more "pragmatic ideology".
Being too long in power without maintenance caused serious problems within the body of the party. Being busy with internal struggles against the Muslim brotherhood, and external struggles against Israel (1973, 1978,1982) and against the US (1982 in Lebanon) also increased the problems.
The Baath party is not that devil that some people try to introduce nowadays. The Baath party itself is a victim of corruption, and it is time for the party to redeem its fine reputation.

On 07.April.1947 the Baath party was established. It started with the ideas of the great Syrian philosopher "Zaki al-Arsuzi" (from Arsuz, a city in the occupied - by Turkey of course - Iskenderun). Later the party comprised the ideas of another philosopher "Michel Aflaq". in 1952 the party united with the socialists led by "Akram Al-Hurani", and took its final name "The Arab Socialist Baath Party".
The Baath members were oppressed by the successive Syrian governments.
In 1958 the party was dissolved along with all other Syrian parties as a condition made by the Egyptian president "Jamal Abdul Nasser" to establish the union between Syria and Egypt. The union lasted for three years in 1961 when a group of corrupted military officers backed by merchants and bankers ended the union.
It was a reign of terror and many key members in the Baath party were sentenced to death by the separation government.
On 08.March.1963 a group of military officers from the Baath party organized a coup against the separation government and succeed. This event is know in Syria as 08.March Revolution. It was really a revolution, a true revolution and not like the crappy terrorist Wahhabi revolution we are witnessing nowadays.
The new Baath government made significant changes in the Syrian society. May be you can say that 08.March revolution set the base of everything good in Syria.
After the revolution "Amin al-Hafiz", a rightist from the city of Hama, became the new president. However his strong ties with the Islamists posed a great danger to the ideas of the Baath, and the revolution was at a crossroad. It was a first tough test for the unity of the party. Amin al-Hafiz had to be removed, which was achieved by general Salah Jadid, a leftist from Lattakia countryside.
Noureddine al-Atassi, a leftist from Homs, became the president.
Salah Jadid led a true social movement in the country. He also led a campaign against corruption in the government and the state apparatuses. Salah Jadid himself was known to be honest and clean (he used to live in a rented house in Damascus, and had no house in his village), this was actually the case of the Baath leaders in that period.
The relationships between Syria and the Gulf states entered its worst stage in history (even worse than now), also the relationships with the US and the NATO-bloc, however more ties were established with the soviet union and its allies.
After the defeat in 1967 war, conflicts started to rise again within the party, this time between Salah Jadid (he left the army to lead the political wing of the party) and the defense minister general Hafiz Al-Assad.
in 1970 Salah Jadid sent Syrian tanks to Jordan in order to defend the Palestinians against the King who was massacring them. The Syrian troops advanced rapidly towards the Jordanian capital.
However the tanks were attacked by the Israeli air force. The increasing conflicts between the political and military leadership doomed the campaign to fail, and the tanks had to be withdrawn. The Palestinians had to leave Jordan after a Gulf-Egyptian initiative.
The Baath party was on fire, and it looked like that there was no way out. General Hafiz Al-Assad stepped and ended the conflict, and he became later the president of Syria.
President Hafiz Al-Assad continued the social movements with more "pragmatic ideology".
Being too long in power without maintenance caused serious problems within the body of the party. Being busy with internal struggles against the Muslim brotherhood, and external struggles against Israel (1973, 1978,1982) and against the US (1982 in Lebanon) also increased the problems.
The Baath party is not that devil that some people try to introduce nowadays. The Baath party itself is a victim of corruption, and it is time for the party to redeem its fine reputation.

Archival footage married with part of a Christopher Hitchens speech, showing Saddam Hussein's final purge of the Iraqi Baath Party leadership. You'll notice a couple of small details are different than Hitchens remembers. The audience is larger, and the confessor does not come in wearing chains (metaphorically, perhaps, but not literally.) We don't know exactly how many hundreds of party members were killed in this purge in the whole of Iraq, but of the 68 taken out of this room on July 22, 1979, at least 22 were executed (by their fellow party members). Sadly, the bloodbath for Iraqis and the region was only just beginning.
Remember: Fascism means war.
The speech is entitled "Axis of Evil" and can be found on fora.tv and here on youtube. RIP, Hitch.

Here is some footage - beginning with the celebration from the early days of the revolution among the urban poor - as the Baath party free them from the old bosses. Followed by images of the strange Baath state that Assad then created in Syria. It was centred round countless images of Assad as a the heroic leader of the nation. It is very odd because, unlike Saddam who was doing the same sort of thing in Iraq, in every image and statue Assad looks like a middle manager.

STORYLINE:
British soldiers have pulled down a massive Saddam Hussein statue that was place at the gates of Basra.
Britain's 7th Armored Brigade - the famed Desert Rats - and the Royal Marines are positioned around Basra and awaiting orders to launch a final push into Iraq's second-largest city.
The soldiers have established more checkpoints on the outskirts of Basra, are they say they are taking ever more control of the area.
British forces on Friday stormed into several houses around Basra that they believed to be homes of Ba'ath party members and of Fedayeen militia.
More than 70 suspects were led away after the raids on Friday.
Some of the arrested were singled out by their neighbours, others on the basis of military intelligence.
The British officer in charge of the operation said that army "lifted just those people army have got a very good intelligence on."
Major Paul Nanson said they warned locals of the raid and no shots were fired during the operation.
Over three hundred officers, including a Brigadier general, and thousands of lower rank soldiers are now being held in British POW camps in the desert, near Basra.
The tented camps are filling fast in what is reported by a British journalist embedded with the military to be the biggest war camp in Iraq holding seven-thousand Iraqi prisoners with predictions that it will grow to 10-thousand in a few days.
While the the prison holds Ba'ath Party members and paramilitaries, most of the captured soldiers were conscripts.

In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Saddam Hussein, the man who ruled the country with an iron fist, was captured. He was then executed by the new Iraqi government. However despite what most people believe, taking out Saddam wasn't the problem, taking out his political party - was. In June 2003, the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq banned the Iraqi Ba'ath party and all its members. This was the most ill-conceived decision in the whole invasion of Iraq affair, as it completely upset the fragile balance of power that existed in the Middle East.
With this ban, every public sector employee affiliated with the Ba'ath Party was removed from position, and was banned from any future employment in the public sector. But in a totalitarian state as Saddam’s Iraq, being a member of the Ba’ath Party was more a necessity than a choice. It’s like saying that the Soviet Communist Party and its members should have been banned from the public sector when the USSR collapsed. Following the prohibition of Ba’athists from the public sector, thousands of experienced people were excluded from participating in the new government, people such as doctors, professors, bureaucrats, etc. However, perhaps the most important change was that the ban effectively dismantled the Iraqi military and security apparatus, because everyone involved was a member of the Ba’ath Party. Back then the US thought that this was necessary to create a new Iraqi government from scratch. But what it really did was create a void of power; a void that was quickly filled by Iraq’s Shia Muslim majority, with strong support and coordination from Iran. So what really happened was that the US attacked and occupied Iraq, passed legislation, and then immidiately lost the country from right under its nose to Iran. We discussed the rise of Iranian geopolitics and more in a previous CaspianReport.

The head of the Syrian delegation Dr Saleh Al Rashed (President of the Syrian Revolutionary Youth Union) speaks at the world festival of youth and students to the British delegation.
Despite the brutal and bloody campaign which has been unleashed against the Syrian people by imperialism the Syrians understand and continue to draw the distinction between the mass of ordinary British workers and the thoroughly corrupt and wicked parasite class that rules on behalf of finance capital.
Since the very first days of this conflict the CPGB-ML were the only organisation in Britain to stand squarely behind the Ba'ath Party, the National Patriotic Front and the Syrian Communist Party (Bagdash), as well as all the other progressive and anti-imperialist organisations united in Syria against the imperialist inspired war of intervention.
As Dr Al Rashed confirms, the Syrian people, much to the dismay of the revisionist and Trotskyite pigs who tie our anti war movement to imperialism, have only strengthened their resolve and friendship during these bleak years. As Mao Zedong said long ago, "the imperialists pick up a rock only to drop it upon their own feet"!

Despite the brutal and bloody campaign which has been unleashed against the Syrian people by imperialism the Syrians understand and continue to draw the distinction between the mass of ordinary British workers and the thoroughly corrupt and wicked parasite class that rules on behalf of finance capital.
Since the very first days of this conflict the CPGB-ML were the only organisation in Britain to stand squarely behind the Ba'ath Party, the National Patriotic Front and the Syrian Communist Party (Bagdash), as well as all the other progressive and anti-imperialist organisations united in Syria against the imperialist inspired war of intervention.
As Dr Al Rashed confirms, the Syrian people, much to the dismay of the revisionist and Trotskyite pigs who tie our anti war movement to imperialism, have only strengthened their resolve and friendship during these bleak years. As Mao Zedong said long ago, "the imperialists pick up a rock only to drop it upon their own feet"!

Syria's Baath Party announced on Monday it has replaced its top leadership, including Vice President Farouq al-Sharaa.The party's central committee "held a lengthy meeting on Monday morning," at which "a new national leadership was chosen," the Baath party website said.It published the names of 16 members of the new leadership, which included none of the party's old chiefs with the exception of President Bashar al-Assad. The website said Assad would remain the party's secretary general. Among those newly elected to the leadership are parliament chief Jihad al-Laham and Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi.
Ghassan Hitto, prime minister of the Western- and Arab Gulf-backed Syrian National Coalition (SNC), announced his resignation on Monday, citing his inability to form an interim government, nearly four months after his appointment and having failed to form a government. "I announce I will not continue in my capacity as prime minister tasked with leading the interim government, though I emphasize I will continue working for the interests of the 'revolution' and towards achieving its objectives," Hitto said in an online statement. His resignation comes two days after secular dissident Ahmad Assi Jarba was chosen to lead the main opposition National Coalition. Jarba is seen as close to Saudi Arabia, which opposed the selection of Hitto to head the interim government in March.

The socialist Arab Ba'ath Party & the Middle East power vacuum issue
In 2003 Egyptian dictator Mubarak begged George W. Bush not to invade Iraq, claiming that it would "create 10k bin Ladens".... He was right. Democracy in the middle east means mob rule. Meaning when you give them the vote the theocrats or the ruling ethnic group simply votes for its own interests without caring about minorities or those with not as much influence. The Islamic fundamentalist nuts have filled the power vacuum that the Arab socialist Ba'ath Party had held for decades. For whatever reason in the Middle East there are 2 options -- secular brutal dictators and Baathists like Saddam and Qaddafi or Islamic fundamentalists like bin Laden and the Islamic State nutcases. Take your pick, I prefer the Baathists, at least they protect religious minorities and allow for the bettering... -

Opposition leaders hold meeting in Amman to discuss the future of Iraq
About 200 Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders, former Iraqi army officials and Baath party representatives met in Jordan on Wednesday to discuss bringing unity to Iraq, consolidating all Iraqi resistance factions, and seeking international support. In a statement read out by the meeting's spokesman Ahmad al-Dabbash, the leaders described the recent violence in Iraq as a "people's revolution" against the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The meeting has excluded all Sunni leaders who are involved in the current Iraqi government or are part of the militant group Sahawat al-Anbar, and all tribes who supported the American invasion in 2003.

Speaking after his election, he said United Nations-imposed trade sanctions had thrown many Iraqis into poverty, and he urged the assembly to make improving the economy a priority. The Iraqi Parliament is packed with supporters of President Saddam Hussein - which is just as well as it's the president who makes all the important decisions. Elections for the new Parliament were held on March 24th this year. All 160 candidates of the ruling Baath party won seats plus 60 independents. On Tuesday, they met t... -

Since its independence from France in 1946, Syria has been rocked by periods of political instability.
As the colonial hold of the great powers began to fade and the region witnessed a wave of Arab nationalism, Syria shifted through a succession of military coups.
But in 1970, Hafez al-Assad, an ambitious minister of defence, seized control. Rising from a humble background in western Syria, he was to rule the country for 30 years.
His was an autocratic one-party state in which any dissent was ruthlessly suppressed. Following the death of Hafez in 2000, father was succeeded by son - Bashar al-Assad took the reigns and a dynasty was born.
In 2011, with the region in revolt, the al-Assad regime was challenged. The result is an ongoing civil war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of casualties and has displaced millions.
This two-part documentary on the history of modern Syria provides deeper context to the war and charts the rise of the Baath party and the emergence of the Assad political dynasty.
Bedevilled by instability, Syria was to become a totalitarian state.
Interviews with Syrian analysts, political figures and former army officers, intercut with archive, tell the story of Hafez al-Assad's iron rule and his suppression of religious revivalism and popular will in the past. Yet these powerful grassroots and communal forces could not be stifled indefinitely.
"Unity was undoubtedly the aspiration of all Arab nations. An entire generation lived the ideology of Arab nationalism," explains Najib al-Ghadban of Arkansas University. "All Arabs have the right to express their hope of a single, unified state. There was nothing wrong with the idea but its implementation was wrong."
Syria: The Reckoning tells the story of the past and brings it right up to the present to provide deeper historical context to the events of today as war continues to rage in Syria with the unleashing of many of the forces which had been previously repressed.
"The Baath party agreed to the annulment of freedom in Syria. It allowed the country to be ruled by a regime that didn't allow freedom and banned the formation of parties. This led to splits in the Arab Socialist Baath Party," says Dafi al-Jamaani, a former Baath party leader.
This film was first broadcast on Al Jazeera English in 2013.

Syria: The Reckoning tells the story of the past and brings it right up to the present to provide deeper historical context to the events of today as war continues to rage in Syria with the unleashing of many of the forces which had been previously repressed.
"The Baath party agreed to the annulment of freedom in Syria. It allowed the country to be ruled by a regime that didn't allow freedom and banned the formation of parties. This led to splits in the Arab Socialist Baath Party," says Dafi al-Jamaani, a former Baath party leader.
This film was first broadcast on Al Jazeera English in 2013.

In 2003 Egyptian dictator Mubarak begged George W. Bush not to invade Iraq, claiming that it would "create 10k bin Ladens"....
He was right. Democracy in the middle east means mob rule. Meaning when you give them the vote the theocrats or the ruling ethnic group simply votes for its own interests without caring about minorities or those with not as much influence.
The Islamic fundamentalist nuts have filled the power vacuum that the Arab socialist Ba'ath Party had held for decades.
For whatever reason in the Middle East there are 2 options -- secular brutal dictators and Baathists like Saddam and Qaddafi or Islamic fundamentalists like bin Laden and the Islamic State nutcases.
Take your pick, I prefer the Baathists, at least they protect religious minorities and allow for the bettering of the general population.

"The people living in the country with passports are not citizens, only those
who fight to defend the country are citizens!" - Bashar al-Assad

Ecclesiastes 3:15 "That which hath been is now; and that which is to
be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past."
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Your not even a citizen in Syria, if your not fighting in Syria, according to Bashar:
A review of the history of the Ba’ath Party, in which Bashar al- Assad
is figurehead in Syria, provides the understanding of how far his
relationship to terrorism goes. The Ba’athist are a fasicist
organization fashioned after Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy.
Their founders where indoctrinated at Sorbonne in Paris where some
of the World’s Finest Dictators are schooled in Marxism and Mercantilist
Economic Principals that reject Western Capitalism. Although Ba’athist
include all Arab countries, the hierarchy is located in Iran, Iraq, and
Syria where Ba’athism took root. Sense 1983, there has been a large
scale emergence of suicide bombers. In April of 1983 a truck containing
explosives was driven into an American Embassy in Beirut that claimed the
lives of 80 people. On October of that same year a U.S. Marine barracks
and French headquarters was attacked killing 243 civilians, 220 Marines,
21 U.S. personnel, and 58 French paratroopers. In November of that year,
an Israeli building in Tyre was attacked by a suicide bomber killing 88
people and in December the American Embassy in Kuwait was attacked and
carried out by Islamic militants. By 1996 similar suicide attacks were
carried out by the Syrian Ba’ath Party, Lebanese Ba’ath, The Communist Party,
and the Socialist Nationalist Party all backed by the Syrian Government,
who showed blatant disregard for civilian casualties. In 1985 the Syrian
President Hafez al – Assad tried to secularize suicide bombings in Lebanon
to win the support of religious extremists. In June of 2000, President Hafez
al-Assad died at age 70, his son succeeded him on June 10, 2000, Bashar al-Assad
was elected secretary –general of the Ba’ath Party, soon after he won the
Presidency with 97 percent of the vote. Bashar al-Assad has continued down the
same path as his Father, sponsoring international terrorism and continuing the
repression of his own people. His proxies have attack Israel, using Hamas,
Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. Syria continues to serve as a conduit for terrorist
financing, operatives, and munitions and to make sure his party continues to be
the Supreme Rulers in the Middle East, his Primacy is mandated in the
Syrian Constitution. - Brookes

About 200 Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders, former Iraqi army officials and Baath party representatives met in Jordan on Wednesday to discuss bringing unity to Iraq, consolidating all Iraqi resistance factions, and seeking international support.
In a statement read out by the meeting's spokesman Ahmad al-Dabbash, the leaders described the recent violence in Iraq as a "people's revolution" against the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The meeting has excluded all Sunni leaders who are involved in the current Iraqi government or are part of the militant group Sahawat al-Anbar, and all tribes who supported the American invasion in 2003.
One delegate, a member of Saddam Hussein's Baath party, Abdul Samad al-Grairi, said that insurgents led by the Islamic State extremist group are fighting to "liberate" Iraq.
Participants called upon the international community and the United Nations to support them and to prevent Iranian military intervention in Iraq.
The meeting was held in the capital Amman because of safety reasons and as many Iraqi participants are residing in Jordan.

STORYLINE:
Supporters of Syria's President Bashar Assad rallied in central Damascus on Saturday to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the foundation of his ruling Baath party.
Thousands gathered in the central square of Sabee' Bahrat to express their loyalty to the party led by two generations of the ruling Assad family.
Meanwhile on Saturday a Syrian government military offensive against rebel-held towns killed at least 28 people, according to opposition activists.
Assad's supporters said they remained loyal to the Baath party, which under a new 2012 Constitution will lose its right to single party rule.
Article VIII of the old 1973 Constitution stated that "The leading party in the society and the state is the Socialist Arab Baath Party." The abolition of this artcile is part of a series of recent reforms designed to appease the insurgency.
"We are not against a multi-party system, but we will remain adhered to this party. We are with Syria; with the reforms proposed by the President," one of the demonstrators told an AP crew filming under supervision of the authorities.
As Assad's supporters gathered in Damascus, activists said Syrian army tanks continued to shell northern towns just days ahead of an agreed truce.
President Assad has accepted a cease-fire deadline brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan, which calls for his forces to pull out of towns and cities by Tuesday and for both government and rebels to lay down their arms by 6am local time (0300GMT) Thursday.
However, satellite images of troop deployments posted online by the US have cast doubt on whether he intends to comply with an internationally sponsored peace plan.
The escalating violence of the past few days has fuelled accusations that Assad is rushing to stamp out as much of the year-old uprising against him as he can before next week's cease-fire.
The Syrian government said it has begun to withdraw forces ahead of the cease-fire but activists say no significant pullouts have taken place and troops, checkpoints and snipers remain in almost all major flashpoint towns and cities.

STORYLINE:
Dozens of people in Amman went to pay their condolences at the Jordanian branch of Saddam's Baath party on Sunday, following the execution of Saddam Hussein.
"His death was a tragedy, but he was a great man so wish all to die (we all wish to die) the same (way) as him. It means to follow his principles and die the way he died," Jordanian writer Insaf Kalaje, who attended the meeting told AP Television news.
"We hope that the god accept him with the prophets with the good people, who are now in paradise - for the president and for his sons, god may accept them," added Ziad Al-Najdawi, one of Saddam's lawyers.
At the meeting, a statement, said to be from previously unknown group of Iraqi Baathists pledging allegiance to Saddam Hussein's fugitive deputy Izzat Ibrahim, was released.
"In the name of Baghdad's Citizens Gathering, we pledge allegiance to General Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri as the legitimate president of Iraq and the chief of the armed forces," the statement read, apparently sent from the Baath party in Baghdad.
Ibrahim, Saddam's former deputy and now a fugitive with a 10 (m) million US dollars (7.59 (m) million euro) bounty on his head, has not been seen since the fall of Saddam's regime in April 2003.
He is believed to be leading Baathists participating in the insurgency which has left thousands of US and allied troops dead.
The Baath party was dissolved after Saddam's regime fell.

STORYLINE:
Deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein returned to court in Baghdad on Tuesday for his genocide trial, two days after another panel convicted him of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to hang.
Saddam found his way quietly to his seat among the other six defendants charged in the Operation Anfal crackdown against Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s.
The first witness of the day, Qahar Khalil Mohammed, told the court that he and other men from his village surrendered to Iraqi soldiers after being promised that Saddam had issued an amnesty for them.
Instead soldiers opened fire on the 33 men, killing many of them.
Mohammed said he was wounded but survived.
"When they fired in our direction, we all fell to the ground," he testified.
He said an Iraqi medical officer used a broken bottle to clean his wound and showed the court scars he said were caused in the incident.
Saddam complained respectfully to the judge that the witnesses were not giving incriminating testimony, and that they were not being adequately cross-examined.
The prosecution says about 180-thousand Kurds, most of them civilians, were killed in the crackdown in 1987-88.
The Anfal trial will continue while an appeal in the Dujail case is under way.
On Sunday, another five-judge panel convicted Saddam in the deaths of nearly 150 Shiite Muslims following a 1982 assassination attempt against him in the town of Dujail in 1982.
He and two others were sentenced to death by hanging.
Four co-defendants received lesser sentences and one was acquitted.
On Monday, the chief prosecutor in the Dujail case said a nine-judge appeals panel was expected to rule on Saddam's guilty verdict and death sentence by the middle of January.
That could set in motion a possible execution by mid-February.

STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's trial for genocide resumed on Wednesday, with one of the defence lawyers breaking his boycott of the proceedings to ask the court to investigate an alleged ransacking of the defence team's offices.
Wearing his usual dark suit, Saddam quietly took his seat in the dock.
Defence lawyer Badee Izzat Aref told the court on Wednesday that it was time the authorities investigated the break-in at the defence team's offices in the high-security Green Zone of Baghdad last month.
Aref accused unspecified parties of "stealing" documents and said he suspected that the Americans may have handed them over to the prosecution.
The lawyers have said the intruders damaged and stole dozens of documents, undermining the defence's effort in the trial.
"I demand the opening of an investigation on the American side because the area of the offices is guarded by the Americans, who would shoot anybody who comes near," Aref told the court.
Aref appeared in court for the first time since defence lawyers boycotted hearings on Sept. 21 to protest against the court's refusal to answer some 12 requests, including giving the defence team more time to review thousands of documents in the case.
It was not immediately clear if Aref was ending his boycott.
Chief judge Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa ordered another set of documents to the defence team.
Saddam and his cousin "Chemical Ali" al-Majid are charged with genocide in the 1987-88 military offensive, codenamed Operation Anfal. The other defendants are accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
All could be sentenced to death by hanging if convicted.
The court on Sunday sentenced former Iraqi president to die for the deaths of about 150 Shiite Muslims following an assassination attempt against him in Dujail in 1982.
Saddam and two others were sentenced to death by hanging.
Four co-defendants received lesser sentences and one was acquitted.
The death sentence has drawn criticism from European and human rights officials who oppose capital punishment whatever the crime.

Natural Sound
Iraq's newly-elected National Assembly has elected Saadoun Hammadi as the new speaker of the ruling Baath party.
Hammadi, who was prime minister from 1991 to 1993 and parliamentary speaker from 1984 to 1988, is a senior member of the ruling Baath Party.
Speaking after his election, he said United Nations-imposed trade sanctions had thrown many Iraqis into poverty, and he urged the assembly to make improving the economy a priority.
The Iraqi Parliament is packed with supporters of President Saddam Hussein - which is just as well as it's the president who makes all the important decisions.
Elections for the new Parliament were held on March 24th this year.
All 160 candidates of the ruling Baath party won seats plus 60 independents.
On Tuesday, they met to elect a new speaker.
Saadoun Hammadi, who was speaker of the 1984-1989 parliament, won 248 votes out of 250.
A loyal supporter of the president, he told the parliament he was dedicated to the principles of Saddam Hussein.
Hammadi blamed the United States and its Gulf War allies for the country's present plight.
The speaker made no mention of the current oil talks between Iraq and the United Nations.
The talks centre on a Security Council resolution allowing Iraq to sell 2 billion (b) dollars (d) worth of oil over six months to buy urgently-needed food and medicine.

Natural Sound
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein vowed on Saturday to suspend cooperation with U-N weapons inspectors if the United Nations doesn't lift tough economic sanctions within the next four months.
Saddam has also called for mobilisation of volunteer forces to bolster Iraq's army, faced with the possibility of a military confrontation with the U-S.
On the seventh anniversary of the beginning of the Gulf War, Saddam also presided over a sheep slaughter and chaired a meeting of his Revolutionary Command.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein met with the ruling command of the Baath Party on Saturday to discuss the most recent issues troubling the Middle East nation.
The meeting coincided with the anniversary of the Gulf War seven years ago.
Saddam had tough words for the United Nations. He said he will halt all weapons inspections if the world body doesn't lift the painful economic sanctions.
He also called for mobilisation of volunteer forces to bolster Iraq's military.
Close advisors in Saddam's Baath party are known to rubber stamp whatever the paramount Iraqi leader proposes.
Despite speaking out against U-N sanctions, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein also took time out to celebrate on Saturday.
To commemorate the Allied bombing of Iraq, Hussein watched a sheep slaughtered.
He used the anniversary of the so-called "mother of all wars" to show off a special room. Iraqi television reported that Saddam was in the room when the bombs started dropping on his country.
The room is believed to have been Saddam's shelter where he read the Koran and prayed.

Arabic/Nat
XFA
Syria's ruling Ba'ath Party opened its first conference in 15 years on Saturday - to declare Bashar Assad's presidential candidacy and elect him as party boss.
The gathering, held a week after president Hafez Assad died of a heart attack, began on a sombre note, with his son Bashar, one of some one-thousand delegates attending.
A minute's silence was observed at the parliamentary meeting as a sign of respect to Hafez Assad.
The proceedings to declare Bashar Assad as the presidential candidate and party leader were held by the ruling Ba'ath Party in Damascus on Saturday.
It follows the death of his father, the late Syrian president Hafez Assad last weekend.
After repeating the Ba'ath party slogan, "One Arab Nation," the delegates observed a minute's silence and then chanted the party anthem.
In an opening speech, Suleiman Qaddah, assistant secretary-general of the Ba'ath Party, vowed the party would remain loyal to Assad's policies.
The party meeting is part of an official script laid out for Bashar Assad, to fill the vacuum left by his father, who ruled for 30 years at the helm of this Arab nation of 17 (m) million people.
34 year old Bashar Assad, who is unmarried, is a party member - one of an estimated 1.5 (m) million - but until now has not held any formal position in the party.
The Ba'ath party was founded in the 1940's and has held power since 1963.
At the conference, expected to last up to five days, the delegates are to elect a new 90- person central committee, which will then elect a new national leadership of 21 members.
The party already has announced an initial nomination of Bashar Assad for president, and a formal nomination is expected to be announced during the conference.
This will pave the way for the People's Assembly to endorse the nomination and set a date for a nationwide referendum when it meets on June 25th.
There have been reports that parliament might meet earlier.
A plebiscite, however, is not expected to be held before the traditional 40-day mourning over President Assad's death ends around July 20th.
Bashar's succession, however, appears to be a foregone conclusion.
UPSOUND: (Arabic)
"We strongly support you to vote in favour of Dr. Bashar Assad whose leadership qualities are the moral, intellectual and political prolongation for our great leader the late president Hafez Assad."
SUPER CAPTION: General Abdallah Al -Ahmar, Ba'ath party Deputy Secretary
Out on the streets of Damascus people welcomed the move.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"We are ready for anything, we redeem Bashar Assad with our blood, with our life and with our children. We
support him forever "
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"If God permits, he will replace his father and will compensate our great loss. Bashar is like his father, he was
raised in the same great school."
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
"We hope things would improve in all aspects, everybody here is optimistic and wish for the best with
the new president. We hope the relations with the world will improve, especially political relations."
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
Hundreds of thousands of Bashar Assad posters and banners declaring him the nation's hope for the future are displayed across the country.
Coverage of the young Assad's activity and his photographs fill the pages of the country's three main newspapers - all tightly controlled by the state.
Bashar Assad's sudden ascendancy came as a surprise to some, given Syria's notoriety for political bickering and bloody upheaval.
He has since been groomed for succession by his father, whose health had been poor since the 1980's.

Hundreds of thousands of Bashar Assad posters and banners declaring him the nation's hope for the future are displayed across the country.
Coverage of the young Assad's activity and his photographs fill the pages of the country's three main newspapers - all tightly controlled by the state.
Bashar Assad's sudden ascendancy came as a surprise to some, given Syria's notoriety for political bickering and bloody upheaval.
He has since been groomed for succession by his father, whose health had been poor since the 1980's.

STORYLINE:
President Saddam Hussein's second son Qusai has been elected to the ruling party's leadership, significantly boosting his chances of succeeding his father.
Iraqis were surprised late on Thursday when state-television broadcast that the president's elder son, Odai Hussein, had not been elected to the Iraqi Regional Command, the executive of the Baath party, at a congress in Baghdad.
Odai, 36, had long been considered the likely successor of his father, even though he does not hold a high position in the Baath or government.
The Iraqi Baath is similar to its sister party in Syria, where Bashar Assad succeeded his father as president of the country last July even though he was not previously a high-ranking official in either the party or government.
As expected, the congress re-elected Saddam as secretary general of the party.
Saddam opened the proceedings with a speech that advised the more than 300 delegates on how to vote.
Saddam was then elected secretary general by vote of every delegate in the hall rising to his or her feet.
However, the election of the 18-person Iraqi Regional Command was by secret ballot.
The television reported that 24 candidates stood for the command, but it identified only the successful candidates.
It was not known if Odai ran.
Among the eight new members elected, Qusai, 34, was the big surprise.
Unlike his flamboyant elder brother, Qusai has cut a low-profile in public life.
It is said that most Iraqis would not recognise him.
But he controls two powerful military units, the elite Republican Guards and the Special Security Organization that protects Saddam.
He is married to the daughter of a general and has three sons.
A second surprise was the election of Huda Saleh Mehdi Ammash, the first woman to win a seat on the party executive.
Saddam has recently encouraged women to play a greater role in Iraq.
The deputy secretary general of the command, Izzat Ibrahim, was re-elected.
Under the Iraqi constitution, Ibrahim would become interim president in the case of Saddam's sudden death.

1. SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Iraqi TV Presenter:
"We have just received this in the name of Allah the merciful, the compassionate. The leadership of the Baath Arabic Socialist would like to extend its condolences to the brave Iraqi people and to the warriors of the Baath Arabic Socialist Party. The late hero comrade Nayif Shindakh Thamir, official in charge of the Baath Party organisations in Al-Najaf, was martyred while pursuing the enemy's criminal forces from the American-British forces alongside his comrades from the party and the people of Al-Najaf. The enemy forces were patrolling the area and carrying out reconnaissance work. The criminal force fled in fear and panic in front of the heroes of the people, the party, and the mujahidin. Please God be merciful on our martyrs and kill the enemies of our people. (Statement) issued by the command of the Baath Arabic Socialist Party/Iraq, 22 March 2003."
STORYLINE:
Iraqi state television has reported the death Nayif Shindakh Thamir, an official in charge of the Baath party organisations in Najaf on Saturday.
Thamir was reportedly killed in fighting near the Shi'ite holy city of Najaf, 150 kilometres from Baghdad.
It appears from the wording of the statement that the clashes were between US troops and Baath Party militiamen.

صدام
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī;[1] 28 April 1937[2] -- 30 December 2006)[3] was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003.[4][5] A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organisation Ba'ath Party -- Iraq Region, which espoused ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism, Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup, later referred to as the 17 July Revolution, that brought the party to long-term power of Iraq. Hafez al-Assad (Arabic: حافظ الأسد Ḥāfiẓ al-ʾAsad, Levantine pronunciation: [ˈħaːfezˤ elˈʔasad]; 6 October 1930 -- 10 June 2000) was a Syrian statesman, po... -
Charlie Rose | Bashar al-Assad - President of Syria
May 27, 2010 Copyright © 2010 Charlie Rose LLC. All rights reserved. Bashar al-Assad is the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Regional Secretary of the Baath Party, and the son of former President Hafez al-Assad. Originally trained as a doctor, Assad attended medical school at the University of Damascus Faculty of Medicine. He then went on to get subspecialty training in ophthalmology in London's academic hospitals. Initially Assad had few political aspirations; his father had been grooming Bashar's older brother, Basil al-Assad, to be the future president. However, Basil's death in an automobile accident in 1994 suddenly made Bashar his father's new heir apparent. When the elder Assad died in 2000, Bashar was elected President unopposed with apparent massive popular support, a... -

Qur'an Points to Baath Party, Saddam, Bashar, Russia, and the Iranian Trojan Horse
This is my analysis and Allah knows best. The Holy Qur'an points to Dajjal being Jewish and Iran-based. Hadith, history and current events confirm that. The Qur'an also points to the Baath Party with its two branches in Iraq and Syria and predicts that one of them (the Iraqi Baath Party under Saddam Hussein) will be the first to be transformed into a force to resist the global tyranny of the Children of Israel. Later (nowadays), the Syrian Baath Party (under Bashar Al-Assad) is being transformed by Allah into a force that resists Israelite global tyranny. The Qur'an predicts the destruction of the global Zionist tyranny by these forces in alliance with Russia, as Imam Mahdi (Muhammad Ibn Abdillah) simultaneously emerges in Mecca, and peace and justice prevail on Earth. Dajjal is using his... -
Documentary: The Survivors 1
The Ba'ath party, led by Saddam Hussein, killed 182.000 Iraqi Kurds and buried them all in mass graves in 1988. Among all, only thirteen people could get out the mass graves and survive. This is the story of 5 of those survivors. It is said that right after launching the Iraq-Iran war, Saddam on the other hand, also waged a massive attack on Iraqi Kurds and the villages of Kurdistan. This was in spite of Kurds having made the decision to acquiesce to the Ba'athist regime. Many Kurds decided to live the country towards Syria or Turkey just to avoid Saddam's purging inquisition. But many were rounded up by military forces on the way. Villages were surrounded and after the villages' elders managed to secure a parole promise, they let the guards down and the military units entered. What follo... -

طوفان في بلاد البعث | (A Flood in Ba'ath Country (2003
Syria. 2003. Directed by Omar Amiralay. This film completes Amiralay's trilogy on the Tabqa dam as it critiques the impacts the dam's construction and collapse had on the local townspeople. While his first film ("Film Essay on the Euphrates Dam" (1970)) praised the Ba'ath party for its "innovative" development, his second ("Everyday Life in a Syrian Village" (1974)) and third films critiqued the government's refusal to take responsibility for the faulty dam and failure to provide basic amenities to the poor, despite its promise of radical economic improvements. In this documentary, Amiralay explores the region and the village of el-Machi to examine the consequences of the Ba'ath's 40 year rule in Syria. -
Christopher Hitchens on Qatar, Iraq, George W. Bush: "The least qualified guy to run for the office"
Qatar (Arabic: قطر Qaṭar [ˈqɑtˤɑr]; local vernacular pronunciation: [ɡɪtˤɑr], officially the State of Qatar (Arabic: دولة قطر Dawlat Qaṭar), is a sovereign Arab state, located in Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island state of Bahrain. Qatar has been ruled as an absolute and hereditary emirate by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. Formerly one of the poorest Persian Gulf states, the mainly barren country was noted mainly for pearl hunting. It was a British protectorate until it gained independence in 1971. Since the... -

The Alawis (Analysis, 10/2/13)
The government of President Assad of Syria is under threat. So too is the secretive Shia sect known as the Alawis - or Alawites - to which he and many of the governing party and security officials belong. Hostility towards the minority Alawi population is such that one leading commentator predicts they are likely to be the victims of the world's next genocide. Presenter Owen Bennett Jones investigates the Alawis' origins, history and culture and asks how these once marginalised people came to power in a Sunni majority state. He discovers that for many their fortunes changed fifty years ago when the Baath party seized power in a coup d'etat. Alawis were dominant among the army officers who took control. They set about modernising the country and rolling out a secular agenda. Now, as Syria... -

Nearly 65 percent of eligible voters in Syria went to the ballot boxes for a national referendum on a new constitution. Some 89% have voted yes to a constitution which excludes article 8 wherein, the Baath Party is the only ruling political group. It also establishes a multiparty system in Syria and limits the presidency in the country to two seven-year terms. Russia and China have criticized the United States for its policies against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad considering it a forceful scenario in Syria. -
Islamization of Iraq during Saddam Hussein, DIIS Seminar: 24 September 2015
Background Between the mid-1980s and 2003 Saddam Islamized the ruling Baath Party, the state administration and the legal and educational systems. It began as a coldly calculated cynical step designed to refute Khomeini’s accusations of Baathi atheism, but toward the end, at least Saddam personally, became a born-again Muslim. The Islamization Campaign, while designed to bring the more religious Shi’i population closer to the regime and to their Sunni co-patriots, it in fact deepened the gulf between the two communities. The senior Shi’i religious leadership was suppressed, while the more compliant Sunni clerics were supported heavily. A 1991 bloody suppression of a Shi’i revolt further drove the two communities away from each other. The regime’s elite was weaned of their Baathi secular... -

سطع نجمه إبان الانقلاب الذي قام به حزب البعث - ثورة 17 تموز 1968 - والذي دعى لتبني الأفكار القومية العربية والتحضر الاقتصادي والاشتراكية. ولعب صدام دوراً رئيسياً في انقلاب عام 1968م والذي وضعه في هرم السلطة كنائب للرئيس اللواء أحمد حسن البكر وأمسك صدام بزمام الأمور في القطاعات الحكومية والقوات المسلحة المتصارعتين في الوقت الذي اعتبرت فيه العديد من المنظمات قادرة على الإطاحة بالحكومة. وقد نمى الاقتصاد العراقي بشكل سريع في السبعينات نتيجة سياسة تطوير ممنهجه للعراق بالإضافة للموارد الناتجة عن الطفرة الكبيرة في أسعار النفط في ذلك الوقت.[5] وصل صدام إلى رأس السلطة في العراق حيث أصبح رئيساً للعراق عام 1979م بعد أن قام بحملة لتصفية معارضيه وخصومه في داخل حزب البعث [6] وفي عام 1980م دخل صدام حرباً مع إيران استمرت 8 سنوات من 22 سبتمبر عام 1980م حتى 8 أغسطس عام 1988م.[7] وقبل أن تمر الذكرى الثانية لانتهاء الحرب مع إيران غزا صدام الكويت في 2 أغسطس عام 1990.[8] والتي أدت إلى نشوب حرب الخليج الثانية عام 1991م.[9]

سطع نجمه إبان الانقلاب الذي قام به حزب البعث - ثورة 17 تموز 1968 - والذي دعى لتبني الأفكار القومية العربية والتحضر الاقتصادي والاشتراكية. ولعب صدام دوراً رئيسياً في انقلاب عام 1968م والذي وضعه في هرم السلطة كنائب للرئيس اللواء أحمد حسن البكر وأمسك صدام بزمام الأمور في القطاعات الحكومية والقوات المسلحة المتصارعتين في الوقت الذي اعتبرت فيه العديد من المنظمات قادرة على الإطاحة بالحكومة. وقد نمى الاقتصاد العراقي بشكل سريع في السبعينات نتيجة سياسة تطوير ممنهجه للعراق بالإضافة للموارد الناتجة عن الطفرة الكبيرة في أسعار النفط في ذلك الوقت.[5] وصل صدام إلى رأس السلطة في العراق حيث أصبح رئيساً للعراق عام 1979م بعد أن قام بحملة لتصفية معارضيه وخصومه في داخل حزب البعث [6] وفي عام 1980م دخل صدام حرباً مع إيران استمرت 8 سنوات من 22 سبتمبر عام 1980م حتى 8 أغسطس عام 1988م.[7] وقبل أن تمر الذكرى الثانية لانتهاء الحرب مع إيران غزا صدام الكويت في 2 أغسطس عام 1990.[8] والتي أدت إلى نشوب حرب الخليج الثانية عام 1991م.[9]

May 27, 2010 Copyright © 2010 Charlie Rose LLC. All rights reserved.
Bashar al-Assad is the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Regional Secretary of the Baath Party, and the son of former President Hafez al-Assad.
Originally trained as a doctor, Assad attended medical school at the University of Damascus Faculty of Medicine. He then went on to get subspecialty training in ophthalmology in London's academic hospitals. Initially Assad had few political aspirations; his father had been grooming Bashar's older brother, Basil al-Assad, to be the future president. However, Basil's death in an automobile accident in 1994 suddenly made Bashar his father's new heir apparent. When the elder Assad died in 2000, Bashar was elected President unopposed with apparent massive popular support, after Syria's Majlis Al Shaa'b (Parliament) swiftly voted to lower the minimum age for candidates from 40 to 34.
Upon becoming President, Bashar al-Assad promised economic and political reforms to Syria, but he has so far delivered little change from the status quo. The Baath Party remains in control of the parliament, and is constitutionally the "leading party" of the state.

This is my analysis and Allah knows best. The Holy Qur'an points to Dajjal being Jewish and Iran-based. Hadith, history and current events confirm that. The Qur'an also points to the Baath Party with its two branches in Iraq and Syria and predicts that one of them (the Iraqi Baath Party under Saddam Hussein) will be the first to be transformed into a force to resist the global tyranny of the Children of Israel. Later (nowadays), the Syrian Baath Party (under Bashar Al-Assad) is being transformed by Allah into a force that resists Israelite global tyranny. The Qur'an predicts the destruction of the global Zionist tyranny by these forces in alliance with Russia, as Imam Mahdi (Muhammad Ibn Abdillah) simultaneously emerges in Mecca, and peace and justice prevail on Earth.
Dajjal is using his headquarters Iran as a Trojan Horse. Russia, Syria, and Muslims should beware of Iran's misleading and distracting war dances with Israel and the USA. Remember that Iran has been in complete military cooperation with the USA and Israel in the occupation of Iraq, for a decade now, since 2003.

The Ba'ath party, led by Saddam Hussein, killed 182.000 Iraqi Kurds and buried them all in mass graves in 1988. Among all, only thirteen people could get out the mass graves and survive. This is the story of 5 of those survivors.
It is said that right after launching the Iraq-Iran war, Saddam on the other hand, also waged a massive attack on Iraqi Kurds and the villages of Kurdistan. This was in spite of Kurds having made the decision to acquiesce to the Ba'athist regime. Many Kurds decided to live the country towards Syria or Turkey just to avoid Saddam's purging inquisition. But many were rounded up by military forces on the way. Villages were surrounded and after the villages' elders managed to secure a parole promise, they let the guards down and the military units entered. What followed, and what is depicted in this documentary, is a harrowing story accounted for after many years by these few survivors, mothers and wives who were spared.

Syria. 2003. Directed by Omar Amiralay.
This film completes Amiralay's trilogy on the Tabqa dam as it critiques the impacts the dam's construction and collapse had on the local townspeople. While his first film ("Film Essay on the Euphrates Dam" (1970)) praised the Ba'ath party for its "innovative" development, his second ("Everyday Life in a Syrian Village" (1974)) and third films critiqued the government's refusal to take responsibility for the faulty dam and failure to provide basic amenities to the poor, despite its promise of radical economic improvements. In this documentary, Amiralay explores the region and the village of el-Machi to examine the consequences of the Ba'ath's 40 year rule in Syria.

Qatar (Arabic: قطر Qaṭar [ˈqɑtˤɑr]; local vernacular pronunciation: [ɡɪtˤɑr], officially the State of Qatar (Arabic: دولة قطر Dawlat Qaṭar), is a sovereign Arab state, located in Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island state of Bahrain.
Qatar has been ruled as an absolute and hereditary emirate by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. Formerly one of the poorest Persian Gulf states, the mainly barren country was noted mainly for pearl hunting. It was a British protectorate until it gained independence in 1971. Since then, it has become one of the region's wealthiest states due to its enormous oil and natural gas revenues. In 1995, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani became Emir when he deposed his father, Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, in a peaceful coup d'état.[9] The most important positions in Qatar are held by the members of the Al Thani family, or close confidants of the al-Thani family. Beginning in 1992, Qatar has built intimate military ties with the United States, and is now the location of U.S. Central Command's Forward Headquarters and the Combined Air Operations Center.
Qatar has proven reserves of oil and natural gas.[10] Qatar tops the list of the world's richest countries by Forbes.[10] Qatar has the highest human development in the Arab World.[11] In 2009, Qatar was the United States' fifth-largest export market in the Middle East (after the UAE, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt).
With a small citizen population of fewer than 250,000 people,[12] foreign workers outnumber native Qataris. Foreign expatriates come mainly from other Arab nations (13% of population), the Indian subcontinent (India 24%, Nepal 16%, Bangladesh 5%, Pakistan 4%, Sri Lanka 5%), Southeast Asia (Philippines 11%), and other countries (7%).[13]

Iraq (/ɪˈræk/, Listeni/ɪˈrɑːk/, or /aɪˈræk/; Arabic: العراق al-'Irāq), officially the Republic of Iraq (Arabic: About this sound جمهورية العراق (help·info) Jumhūriyyat al-'Irāq), is a country in Western Asia encompassing the Mesopotamian alluvial plain, the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range, and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert.[5]
Iraq borders Syria to the northwest, Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, Jordan to the west, Saudi Arabia to the south and southwest, and Kuwait to the south. Iraq has a narrow section of coastline measuring 58 km (36 mi) on the northern Persian Gulf. The capital city, Baghdad is in the center-east of the country. Two major rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, run through the center of Iraq, flowing from northwest to southeast. These provide Iraq with agriculturally capable land and contrast with the steppe and desert landscape that covers most of Western Asia.
Iraq has been known by the Greek toponym 'Mesopotamia' (Land between the rivers) and has been home to continuous successive civilizations since the 6th millennium BC. The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers is often referred to as the cradle of civilization and the birthplace of writing, law and the wheel.[citation needed] At different periods in its history, Iraq was the center of the indigenous Akkadian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian-Chaldean empires. It was also part of the Achaemenid, Hellenistic, Parthian, Sassanid, Roman, Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Mongol, Safavid, Afsharid, and Ottoman empires, and under British control as a League of Nations mandate.[6][7]
Iraq's modern borders were mostly demarcated in 1920 by the League of Nations when the Ottoman Empire was divided by the Treaty of Sèvres. Iraq was placed under the authority of the United Kingdom as the British Mandate of Mesopotamia. A monarchy was established in 1921 and the Kingdom of Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1932. In 1958, the monarchy was overthrown and the Republic of Iraq was created. Iraq was controlled by the Ba'ath Party (Iraqi-led faction) from 1968 until 2003. After an invasion led by American and British forces, the Ba'ath Party was removed from power and multi-party parliamentary elections were held. The American presence in Iraq ended in 2011.[8] Iraq is home to two of the world's holiest places among Shias: Najaf and Karbala.[9]

Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī;[note 1] 28 April 1937[note 2] – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003.[6][7] A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused Ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions.[8] Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.
Saddam formally rose to power in 1979, although he had been the de facto head of Iraq for several years prior. He suppressed several movements, particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements, seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence,[9] and maintained power during the Iran–Iraq War and the Gulf War. Whereas some[10] venerated Saddam for his opposition to Israel—which included the use of military force[11]—he was widely condemned in the west for the brutality of his dictatorship.
In 2003, a coalition led by the U.S. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam, in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda. Saddam's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held. Following his capture on 13 December 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi Interim Government. On 5 November 2006, Saddam was convicted of charges related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites and was sentenced to death by hanging. His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006

Whereas some[10] venerated Saddam for his opposition to Israel—which included the use of military force[11]—he was widely condemned in the west for the brutality of his dictatorship.
In 2003, a coalition led by the U.S. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam, in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda. Saddam's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held. Following his capture on 13 December 2003, the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi Interim Government. On 5 November 2006, Saddam was convicted of charges related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites and was sentenced to death by hanging. His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006

The Syrian civil war is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria between forces loyal to the Syrian Ba'ath Party government and those seeking to oust it. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with popular demonstrations that grew nationwide by April 2011. These demonstrations were part of the wider Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end of Ba'ath Party rule.
In April 2011, the Syrian Army was deployed to quell the uprising, and soldiers fired on demonstrators across the country.After months of military sieges,the protests evolved into an armed rebellion. Opposition forces, mainly composed of defected soldiers and civilian volunteers, remain without central leadership.The conflict has no clear fronts, with clashes taking place in many towns and cities across the country.The Arab League, United States, European Union, and other countries condemned the use of violence against the protesters. The Arab League suspended Syria's membership because of the government's response to the crisis, but granted the Syrian National Coalition Syria's seat on 6 March 2013.
Until middle 2012 the armed conflict had not reached the biggest cities of Damascus and Aleppo. Late 2011 marked growing influence of the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra within the opposition forces, and in 2012 Hezbollah entered the war in support of the Syrian army. The regime is further upheld by support from Russia and Iran, while Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan transfer weapons to the rebels.
In June 2013, the death toll was updated to 92,900--100,000 by the United Nations.According to various opposition activist groups, between 75,365 and 100,195 people have been killed,of which about half were civilians,[64] but also including 61,000 armed combatants consisting of both the Syrian Army and rebel forces, up to 1,000 opposition protestersand 1,000 government officials. By October 2012, up to 28,000 people had been reported missing, including civilians forcibly abducted by government troops or security forces. According to the UN, about 4 million Syrians have been displaced within the country and 1.5 million have fled to other countries.In addition, tens of thousands of protesters have been imprisoned and there are reports of widespread torture and terror in state prisons.international organizations have accused both government and opposition forces of severe human rights violations.UN investigations have concluded that the government's abuses are the greatest in gravity, frequency and scale.

The government of President Assad of Syria is under threat. So too is the secretive Shia sect known as the Alawis - or Alawites - to which he and many of the governing party and security officials belong.
Hostility towards the minority Alawi population is such that one leading commentator predicts they are likely to be the victims of the world's next genocide.
Presenter Owen Bennett Jones investigates the Alawis' origins, history and culture and asks how these once marginalised people came to power in a Sunni majority state.
He discovers that for many their fortunes changed fifty years ago when the Baath party seized power in a coup d'etat. Alawis were dominant among the army officers who took control. They set about modernising the country and rolling out a secular agenda.
Now, as Syria's revolution has morphed into a civil war, many Alawis believe their only choice is to kill or be killed. Are the majority of Alawis right to be convinced that the Assad regime is all that stands between them and a return to second-class status, or worse? If the opposition wins in Syria, are warnings about pogroms against the Alawis alarmist, or inevitable? ***

Background
Between the mid-1980s and 2003 Saddam Islamized the ruling Baath Party, the state administration and the legal and educational systems. It began as a coldly calculated cynical step designed to refute Khomeini’s accusations of Baathi atheism, but toward the end, at least Saddam personally, became a born-again Muslim. The Islamization Campaign, while designed to bring the more religious Shi’i population closer to the regime and to their Sunni co-patriots, it in fact deepened the gulf between the two communities. The senior Shi’i religious leadership was suppressed, while the more compliant Sunni clerics were supported heavily.
A 1991 bloody suppression of a Shi’i revolt further drove the two communities away from each other. The regime’s elite was weaned of their Baathi secularism, which was replaced by Shari’ah, Qur’an and Hadith studies. Even those Baathis who remained secular at the core identified the great political advantage provided by the “Islamization” and faked Islamic piety. But which Islam? The regime’s official Islam was of the soft Sunni version, but Sunni it was.
Unofficially, very radical Sunni trends, anti-Shi’i Wahhabi as well as Sufi ones, were encouraged as long as they did not turn against the regime. The result was a growing sense of discrimination and oppression on the part of the Shi’ah. “Caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of ISIS/Daesh, is the result of Saddam’s education, except that he performed a quantum leap in terms of radicalizing Saddam’s Islam, and he abandoned Saddam’s ambivalence toward the Shi’ah in favor of coherent anti-Shi’i revulsion.
