Khamenei won't support Assad to the end

Saturday 13 August 2011
Meir Javedanfar

Iran and Syria have long been allies, yet as if Khameni realizes Assad's situation is not salvageable, he will abandon him.

For President Bashar al-Assad, the situation in Syria is becoming worse every day. In the middle of the biggest crisis his regime has faced, he has had one friend on whom he could rely: Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

Khamenei has been Assad's steadfast friend, providing him with political as well as material support. But as Assad's position worsens, he will need to rely on Khamenei's regime more, especially since an increasing number of Assad's neighbors are turning against him.

First was Turkey, which used to be a close ally. Now, the Turkish government is putting pressure on Assad and warning him to stop killing demonstrators and to implement reforms as soon as possible. And then the Saudis joined in by telling Assad to stop "his killing machine" and withdrawing their ambassador. A number of other Gulf states followed suit.

Assad has good reason to rely on Khamenei. The two regimes have been allies for many years. They have common interests with regard to Israel, Palestine, and groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. In fact Assad would be right to assume that the Iranian government owes his family. While most of the Middle East backed Iraq in its eight-year war against Iran, it was Bashar's father, Hafez al-Assad who stood against the tide.

Despite the closeness between the two leaders and the regimes, Syria's president should be under no illusion: Ali Khamenei is his friend, but he will not sink with Assad's ship. The moment the Iranian leader realizes that Assad's situation is not salvageable, he will leave him. This will most probably be done privately. In public, Khamenei and the rest of the Iranian regime will continue their support. They may even offer Bashar refuge in Iran. But, behind the scenes, it would be another story.

The reason is very simple: many have said that the Iranian regime is extremist. This is true. It is extremist about its own well-being. To Khamenei there is nothing more important and sacred than this. He is ready to sacrifice anything that would pose a risk to it – including Bashar al-Assad. And one day, if the political and economic costs of Iran's nuclear program start threatening the regime's stability and interests, he would give that up too.

Khamenei will not commit political suicide by staying with Assad until the last moment. Doing so would be very damaging for the regime's interests. Iran is becoming more isolated every day. It does not need a new enemy in Damascus in the event of Assad's fall, especially when this could impact on its ability to supply weapons to Hezbollah through Syrian territory (not to mention relations with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which it conducts through its offices in Damascus). It could also lose access to its economic interests in Syria.

These interests are all important to Khamenei, and he will want to protect them. Therefore Assad should not be surprised if one day he finds that, while Iran supports him publicly, behind the scenes its leaders are anticipating his demise by cavorting with members of the Syrian opposition.

For now, we don't know if the Iranian government is doing this but the noted change in Iran's English-language government press – especially since the clashes started in Homs province – may indicate how things inside Iran's corridors of power are changing.

At an official level, the state-owned PressTV continues to support Assad's regime. PressTV has been full of reports about demonstrators being backed by foreign powers (Israel, the UK and the US are the usual suspects). However, after the clashes started in Homs, PressTV also started reporting Syrian forces firing on crowds, as well as quoting human rights activists who openly state that the Syrian army has been attacking civilians.

When the protests in Syria first broke out many Persian media outlets in Iran stayed mute on the demonstrations. However, these days they are not only reporting on them but many are openly critical of Assad – much more than the English-language government-owned press.

A good example appeared on 28 July in the Jomhouri Eslami newspaper, a publication which has been close to Khamenei over the years. In an article headed "Assad's salvation is in reforms and not in the barrel of the guns", it said:

"A question which Assad and his advisers have to answer is: how long can they continue with armed confrontation and violence? Can they use more violence than Gaddafi and bombard demonstrators like him? Did Gaddafi's use of violence return the people to their homes?"

The article went on to say that the Syrian army had killed hundreds in the cities of Dera'a and Homs. This is a far cry from the early days of the Syrian uprising when civilian casualties were ignored, while news agencies such as Mehr reported on "millions of demonstrators" supporting Assad.

According to Masoud Adrisi, Iran's former ambassador to Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has now changed his position and is asking Assad to respond to his population's demands. The change in tone of reports from Iran could indicate that Khamenei is following Nasrallah, albeit at a slower pace. Sometimes a teacher can learn from his student.

Israel Quietly Acquiesces to Egyptian Storming of Sinai

August 14, 2011

With Israel’s nod, Egyptian armored vehicles, special forces and hundreds of police have flooded into the northern Sinai to beef up security against marauding Bedouins who have directly challenged Egyptian control in the area.

The forces came in over the weekend, a long two weeks following highly visible attacks by bands of gunmen who staged bloody raids on a police headquarters in El Arish that left six people dead including two officers, while others blew up the pipeline supplying gas to Israel and Jordan.

“The security reinforcement is aimed at protecting people, possessions, as well as the security headquarters,” North Sinai Governor Maj. Gen. Abdul Wahab Mabrouk told the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper.

The troop movement was reportedly dubbed Operation Eagle and is said to be aimed at restoring order. Tanks and armored vehicles were stationed in El-Arish, just some 40 kilometers from the Gaza Strip. Officials declined to give the precise number of Egyptian forces involved in the operation.

The deployment of troops has been done in close coordination with Israel, Israeli security sources told The Media Line. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, the director of policy and military affairs at the Israel Defense Ministry, was in Cairo in recent days to finalize the maneuver, sources said. Defense Ministry officials declined to comment on this officially or to give details about the new troop arrangements.

This is the largest deployment of Egyptian troops so close to the Israeli border since the two nations signed a peace treaty in 1979 that strictly demilitarized the peninsula into three zones. Israel and Egypt fought four wars across the Sinai, but the border has been relatively peaceful for the past three decades.

With Egypt was preoccupied with domestic turmoil during the Arab Spring, its grasp on the Sinai Peninsula slackened. Many of the 300,000 Bedouins there, already bearing a grudge for what they claim has been to be marginalized by the Egyptians, had thrived on smuggling, which quickly picked up during the security vacuum in the wake of the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.

“Because of the turmoil in Egypt, the Bedouin were becoming overly self-confident and independent. But now it looks as though this is an attempt to show that there is a boss in Cairo now,” Amb. Alan Baker, a former legal adviser to Israel’s foreign ministry, told The Media Line.

Last month, head of Israel military intelligence Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi warned that the Egyptian security forces “are losing control over the Sinai region.” In May, Israel’s General Security Service issued a report saying that terrorist organizations were exploiting the chaos in the Sinai to smuggle large quantities of weapons into the Hamas-run Gaza strip and that the border was wide open in Rafah.

According to Israeli security estimates, Hamas has been able to double the number of rockets in its possession from 5,000 to 10,000 and in the first six months of 2011, they have smuggled in more than three times the amount of explosives than in all of 2010, the GSS report said.

Israel has periodically allowed the Egyptians to increase their troop presence in the Sinai. According to the peace treaty, one mechanized division is allowed to be stationed along the Suez Canal in the so-called Zone A. Along Zone C, adjacent to the 250-kilometer long border with Israel, the Egyptians are allowed to deploy only police. But in 2007, an agreement was reached to allow 750 security forces along the border town of Rafah, ostensibly to fight smuggling, but also to ensure the Palestinians from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip did not seep into Egyptian territory.

Zone B, where El Arish is located and where the new forces deployed, had been allowed to have four battalions and no more than 4,000 personnel. The eastern Sinai is patrolled by the 1,900-man Multinational Force and Observer (MFO) organization of peace keepers who monitor the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, but stay out of any domestic spats.

“The Egyptians have been very careful to observe the peace treaty to the letter and I can’t see them violating it now,” said Amb. Baker, now director of the Institute for Contemporary Affairs, a pro-Israel think tank in Jerusalem.

Since the ouster of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11, Israel has grown concerned that its relationship with the border nation could change.

“The Sinai is likely to become a ‘no man’s land’ from a security point of view, where terrorist organizations will be able to maneuver more easily,” Yoram Schweitzer, a senior research fellow at Israel’s Institute for National Strategic Studies, told The Media Line.

He added that the opportunity raised the possibility of a strategic shift between Israel and Egypt and required new military and security arrangements on the border.

We don’t know where Egypt is going and we don’t want to change the agreement, but Sinai has become more problematic not just for Egypt, but for Israel as well. The Egyptians used to control it better. I don’t know if it is too late, but it is better late than never,” Schweitzer said.

The deployment of Egyptian forces with Israel’s blessing could be the beginning of these new such arrangements and a sign that the situation is about to change dramatically.

Rick Perry Declares His Presidential Candidacy

By Andrea Hayley
August 14, 2011

Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced his candidacy for president of the United States on Saturday, Aug. 13, at a conference organized by the conservative blog, RedState.com in the Palmetto State, S.C.

Perry leaned heavily on his record as the longest running U.S. governor, creating a record number of jobs for the state of Texas. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas has created more jobs than any other state, and currently has an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent, marginally less than the nationwide average of 9.1 percent.

“It is time to get America working again,” Perry told an audience of around 400 people for his announcement.

Texas is home to 1 in 12 Americans—yet since June 2009, 4 in 10 new jobs were created in Texas, according to Perry.

Perry also criticized President Barack Obama for policies which led to the “first ever downgrade in the credit rating of the United States.”

“The fact is for nearly three years, President Obama has been downgrading American jobs, downgrading our standing in the world, downgrading our financial stability, downgrading confidence, and downgrading the hope of a better future for our children,” Perry said.

Perry promised he would support an agenda of reduced government spending, lower regulation, tax cuts, and the elimination of laws allowing “unnecessary” lawsuit filings.

The third plank of Perry’s platform was his vision for a foreign policy that puts the policy of American exceptionalism first. In a statement on his website he wrote that he believes “America’s place in the world is in peril, not only because of disastrous economic policies, but from the incoherent muddle known as our foreign policy.”

Perry grew up in Paint Creek, Texas, on a cotton and wheat farm. He is a former United States Air Force pilot, honorably discharged with the rank of captain. He attended Texas A&M University, is married, and has a son and a daughter.

Perry was first elected to public office in 1984, and served three terms in the Texas Legislature, before winning the office of lieutenant governor in 1998. He became governor in December 2000, after George W. Bush resigned to become president.

Perry is expected to do well in polling, joining the ranks of current front-runners, Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Perry fits in to the current field’s strongly conservative policy platform.

In 2009, talking to a Tea Party rally, the governor famously supported those in the state of Texas who wish to secede from the United States, citing the federal government’s size and interference in state affairs as the cause.

In 2010 Perry proposed letting states opt out of the federal Medicaid program.

On Sunday Perry was in Waterloo, Iowa, his first stop as presidential candidate, giving a campaign speech to supporters.

Bachmann, the winner of Saturday’s Ames Straw Poll, was also in Waterloo celebrating her win at a Republican fundraiser.

Ames Straw Poll Results

Bachmann campaigned hard in Iowa prior to the highly publicized Straw Poll, as did former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, whose disappointing third place finish in the poll led him to drop out of the presidential race.

Although the Iowa poll has accurately predicted a candidates’ ultimate success only once, it is still seen as the first indicator of candidates’ popularity. Iowa is a first-in-the-nation caucus, and the state’s socially conservative population gives a good indication of the acceptance of GOP candidates.

Close to 17,000 votes were cast during a daylong event filled with music, barbecue, and speeches.

Bachmann barely won the lead with 29 percent of the votes, followed by Congressman Ron Paul (28 percent), then Gov. Pawlenty (14 percent), former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (10 percent), and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO, Herman Cain (9 percent). Gov. Perry came in sixth, receiving 3.6 percent of the vote despite not officially being on the ballot.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney was seventh, with 3.36 percent, or 567 votes, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (2.28 percent), and Gov. Jon Huntsman (0.41 percent). A late entry into the race, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, took 0.21 percent of the vote.

Romney, Gingrich, and Huntsman did not officially participate in the poll.

Tens of Thousands Protest Chemical Plant in China

By Chen Jinghui & Luo Ya
August 14, 2011

Party Secretary gives in under pressure, vows to relocate plant.

Large scale protests broke out in China’s northeastern coastal city of Dalian on Aug. 14, as residents demanded that a paraxylene chemical plant be shut down and moved. They only dispersed after the local Communist Party Secretary gave in to their demands—a rarity in China.

People held banners that read “refuse poison” and “Fujia get out of Dalian.” Fujia is the name of the company that runs the plant.

Dalian resident Mr. Li told Voice of America, “At today’s event there were over 30,000 people, including students and citizens. The entire People’s Plaza was full. I took a lot of pictures and video. The whole place shouted the slogan, ‘Fujia chemical, get out of Dalain.’”

Resident Mr. Chen told The Epoch Times that people held banners and signs, wore poison masks, and distributed bottled water.

Party authorities seemed to waver between suppression and compromise, according to accounts by participants at the protest; in the end they decided on the latter.

At a little past 5 p.m., Communist Party Secretary of the City Tang Jun came to speak, guaranteeing that the plant will be relocated: “The government agreed today to immediately shut it down, tell it to stop production. But it will need time to relocate it,” he said. People then began dispersing.

But the regime was prepared to use force to crush the protest, one resident, Mr. Chou, said. He said that there were several pepper spray trucks in the yard of the city government building, but that they were never deployed.

Dalian resident Mr. Li said that many paramilitary police and regular police came, but did not clash with the protestors. “They also live in Dalian, I think, and they also don’t want their living environment to be polluted.”

Searches for “Dalian,” a city of over six million, were blocked on Sina Weibo, a popular microblogging platform. Residents said that cell phone service in areas around the main plaza was also blocked.

The paraxylene plant is run by Dalian Fujia Dahua Petrochemical Ltd. Construction began in October 2007 and the plant started operation in November 2008.

When typhoon Muifa hit the shores of Dalian, waves breached the dike and flooded the plant. As of Aug. 8, locals said the air around the plant was laced with a sharp odor, leading residents to suspect that poisonous gas had leaked.

When CCTV and other reporters went to the scene they were attacked by security personnel.

The plant is only just over 12 miles from the city center, which heightens local concerns. Paraxylene is toxic to humans and can cause cancer and birth defects.

Help For Somalia Comes From Unexpected Sources

By Shannon Liao
August 14, 2011

The crisis in Somalia has grown so acute—with an estimated 3.2 million people now on the verge of starvation—that aid is coming in from some unexpected places.

On Friday, the government of Somaliland announced it was making its first ever offer of aid to another state. Somaliland is a breakaway region of northwest Somalia on the Gulf of Aden. It unilaterally declared independence in 1991 but has never been internationally recognized as a country. Nonetheless, the population of about 3.5 million people has its own functioning government, unlike Somalia, with its own currency, and national infrastructure that operates independently of Somalia.

Somaliland authorities said they will “collaborate with the international community” to help famine-stricken Somalis, reported Somaliland Press. They will also create a seven-member Emergency Humanitarian Committee to address Somali needs.

The situation in Somalia has grown worse in the past two months. Five regions of Southern Somalia are now officially deemed to be suffering from famine, up from two on July 20.

United Nations Humanitarian Affairs chief Valerie Amos visited Banadir Hospital in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday and described the scenes she saw as “heartbreaking.”

“The children are so weak they can’t lift their heads, while their mothers are in despair,” she said, according to a U.N. news release.

But while there are heartbreaking stories, there are also heartwarming ones. One 11-year-old boy in Ghana, West Africa, Andrew Adansi Bonnah, was so moved by the images he saw on television of impoverished children that he started a charity to raise over $13 million, according to the Ghana News Agency. Although he has raised less than $700 so far, he hopes to get businessmen and philanthropists involved. He has also met with U.N. agencies like UNICEF and the World Food Program.

“Now, I am letting the public know about the plight of the Somali children and setting up of the fund so that they can help to raise the money,” Andrew told GNA.

تعديلات لدستور الأردن تحصّن البرلمان

الأحد 14/8/2011

قيدت صلاحيات الملك في حله
تعديلات لدستور الأردن تحصّن البرلمان

تسلم ملك الأردن عبد الله الثاني مساء الأحد التعديلات المقترحة على الدستور الأردني, التي تضمنت تعديلات جوهرية خاصة من جهة تحصينها للبرلمان من الحل، وهي تعديلات وصفها الملك بالتاريخية.

وتضمنت التعديلات إضافة مواد جديدة أهمها إنشاء محكمة دستورية تم حصر الطعن أمامها في الحكومة والبرلمان، وإنشاء هيئة مستقلة للانتخابات، وخفض سن المرشح للبرلمان إلى 25 سنة، وجعل القضاء مختصا في الفصل في نيابة أعضاء مجلس النواب، حيث كان المجلس هو الذي ينظر بالطعون في أعضائه.

البرلمان والحكومة
وألزمت التعديلات الحكومة التي تحل البرلمان بالاستقالة خلال أسبوع، وألا يغيب البرلمان أكثر من أربعة أشهر في حال حله. وفي حال لم تجر الانتخابات في هذه الفترة يعود المجلس المنحل للانعقاد، كما رفعت مدة الدورة العادية من أربعة إلى ستة أشهر، وانتخاب رئيس مجلس النواب كل سنتين بدلا من سنة.

كما قيدت التعديلات إصدار القوانين المؤقتة في فترة غياب البرلمان في ثلاث حالات، هي الحرب والكوارث والنفقات التي لا تحتمل التأجيل.

ونصت على محاكمة الوزراء أمام القضاء العادي وأن يسمح للبرلمان باتهام الوزراء بالأغلبية المطلقة لا بأغلبية الثلثين، كما هو منصوص حاليا.

ولم تتطرق التعديلات لصلاحيات الملك في الدستور، خاصة حقه في اختيار رئيس الوزراء، غير أنها قيدت صلاحياته في حل البرلمان, ونصت على ضرورة عقد الانتخابات خلال أربعة أشهر فقط من حل مجلس النواب.

كما نصت التعديلات على ضرورة عرض معاهدات الصلح, والتحالف، والتجارة, والملاحة, وكل أنواع المعاهدات والاتفاقات على مجلس النواب, وألا تكون الشروط السرية في المعاهدات مناقضة للشروط العلنية.

وفي مجال القضاء, نصت التعديلات على إنشاء مجلس قضائي يتولى شؤون القضاء، والنص على أن يكون القضاء الإداري أمام محكمة العدل العليا على درجتين بدلا من درجة واحدة كما هو معمول حاليا.

ومن أبرز التعديلات في مجال القضاء هو النص على تقييد صلاحيات محكمة أمن الدولة بالنظر في قضايا الإرهاب, والخيانة العظمى, والتجسس, والنص على منع محاكمة المدنيين أمام المحكمة التابعة للقضاء العسكري.

سقف زمني
وفي كلمة ألقاها في حفل إفطار أقيم بهذه المناسبة في قصر رغدان وسط عمان, وصف ملك الأردن التعديلات بـ "التاريخية. وقال "نقدم اليوم لشعبنا العزيز ولأجيال الحاضر والمستقبل هذه المراجعات والتعديلات التاريخية التي تعكس مستوى النضوج السياسي والقانوني الذي وصل إليه الأردنيون، وهم على أبواب مئوية دولتهم التي تأسست على قواعد الحرية والوحدة والمساواة".

وحدد الملك مدة شهر لإقرار هذه التعديلات وفق القنوات الدستورية تمهيدا لإقرار قانوني الانتخاب والأحزاب ليضافا إلى قانوني البلديات ونقابة المعلمين لاستكمال المسيرة الإصلاحية، كما حدد سقفا زمنيا لا يتجاوز الربع الأخير من هذا العام لإنجاز هذه القوانين كافة.

وقال عبد الله الثاني "لقد أمرت بالقيام بهذه المراجعات للنصوص الدستورية وإجراء بعض التعديلات عليها انطلاقا من مسؤوليتي وواجبي تجاه شعبي العزيز، وتلبية طموحاته، وما فيه الخير له، في الحاضر والمستقبل".

وكان لافتا دعوته لأن "يتحول الحراك الشعبي الوطني إلى عمل مؤسسي ومشاركة شعبية فاعلة في التشريع وتشكيل الحكومات حتى نخرج من دائرة رفع الشعارات إلى توفير القنوات لممارستها باعتبارها حزبية أو نقابية أو شبابية، وفي إطار عملية سياسية مؤسسية تحترم تداول الحكومات، من خلال حكومات برلمانية، وعبر عملية انتخابيه عصرية على أساس أحزاب ذات برامج وطنية".

وفي كلمة له أمام الملك, شدد رئيس لجنة تعديل الدستور -رئيس الوزراء الأسبق أحمد اللوزي- على أن المراجعة الدستورية تمت "بمنهجية وعقلانية وموضوعية بعيدا عن الانفعال باللحظة الراهنة والآراء المسبقة واستجابة واعية لمقتضيات المستقبل"، في إشارة فهمت على أن التعديلات لم تتم تحت ضغط المطالب الشعبية.

وفيما كان أعضاء السلطات التشريعية والتنفيذية والقضائية وقادة الأحزاب وإعلاميون في حضرة الملك تجمع العشرات من شبان "الحراك الشبابي الأردني" في إفطار تقشفي احتجاجا على ما أسموه "ترقيع الدستور".

وهتف الشبان "اسمع اسمع يا نظام شعب الأردن ما ينضام"، و"يا عبد الله يا بن حسين أراضي الشعب راحت وين".

ودعا موظف في الديوان الملكي الشبان لحضور طعام الإفطار باسم الملك، غير أنهم اعتذروا كون إفطارهم كان "تقشفيا"، وفق ما ذكروا.

ونظم التجمع الإصلاحي لشباب حي الطفايلة في عمان بعد صلاة التراوح ليل الأحد الاثنين, مسيرة سلمية طالبت بالجدية في تحقيق الإصلاحات ومحاربة الفساد.
