WASHINGTON —

Asconjonction Syrian War Roils,

Sectarian Unrest Seeps Into Turkey

 

August 4, 2012

The New York Times

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

 

ANTAKYA, Turkey — At 1 a.m. last Sunday, in the farming town of Surgu, about six hours away from here, a mob formed at the Evli family’s door.

The ill will had been brewing for days, ever since the Evli family chased away a drummer who had been trying to rouse people to a predawn Ramadan feast. The Evlis are Alawite, a historically persecuted minority sect of Islam, and also the sect of Syria’s embattled leaders, and many Alawites do not follow Islamic traditions like fasting for Ramadan.

The mob began to hurl insults. Then rocks.

“Death to Alawites!” they shouted. “We’re going to burn you all down!”

Then someone fired a gun.

“They were there to kill us,” said Servet Evli, who was hiding in his bedroom with his pregnant wife and terrified daughter, both so afraid that they urinated through their clothes.

As Syria’s civil war degenerates into a bloody sectarian showdown between the government’s Alawite-dominated troops and the Sunni Muslim majority, tensions are increasing across the border between Turkey’s Alawite minority and the Sunni Muslim majority here.

Asconjonction Conflict Continues,

Assad’s Arms Under Strain

 

August 2, 2012

The New York Times

By C. J. CHIVERS

 

With diplomatic efforts dead and the future of Syria playing out on the battlefield, many of the Syrian government’s most powerful weapons, including helicopter gunships, fighter jets and tanks, are looking less potent and in some cases like a liability for the military of President Bashar al-Assad.

Rebels have turned part of Mr. Assad’s formidable arsenal on his own troops. Anti-Assad fighters on Wednesday shelled a military airport in the contested city of Aleppo with captured weapons. On Tuesday, rebels used commandeered Syrian Army tanks in a skirmish with Mr. Assad’s troops.

Perhaps even more worrying to Mr. Assad, his military has come to rely more heavily on equipment designed for a major battle with a foreign enemy, namely Israel, rather than a protracted civil conflict with his own people. Close observers of his military say Syria is having trouble keeping its sophisticated and maintenance-intensive weapons functioning.

The strain is likely to grow more acute as the government depends on helicopter gunships to extend its reach to parts of the country rendered impassable to logistics convoys and even armored vehicles by the rebels’ improvised bombs.

Thousands greet the New Year

as the North shivers

 

The New Year blew in yesterday

with gales, blizzards and torrential rain

as wintry weather took a grip of much of the country,

prompting the Met Office to issue

a severe-weather warning.

An eight-year-old boy was killed

when a tree was toppled by gale-force winds

in Dunham Park, near Altrincham, Cheshire.

Three other people,

including a two-year-old girl, were injured.

Drivers in the North were told to carry spades,

warm clothes and water if they ventured out,

because of the danger of snow drifts.

Gusts of more than 65mph would create

blizzard conditions,

the Highways Agency warned.

Police in Cumbria received

about 20 reports of fallen trees blocking roads.

Light flooding caused by heavy rain

led to a spate of accidents, a spokesman said.

"Our patrols have been put under pressure

by a huge number of wind-related incidents."

he said.

"There have also been a number of problems

with heavy surface water

after heavy rainfall started at about midday.

There were downpours of torrential rain

which weren't adequately dealt with by drainage systems

and consequently caused a spate of accidents."

Three football matches in the North-west of England

were abandoned because of the weather.

The weather is expected to turn milder

by the end of today.

New Year celebrations continued yesterday

with half a million gathering in central London

for the 19th annual parade.

Around 10,000 performers,

including marching bands and dance troupes

from around the world,

took part in the three-hour event

which began in Parliament Square

and finished in Piccadilly.

Volunteers collected tens of thousands of pounds

for tsunami appeals en route.

A spokesman for the event said:

"I think the poignancy of this New Year wasn't lost

on people.

They enjoyed themselves

but didn't forget about the people who are suffering."

Dans ce contexte,

asconjonction peut se traduire par :

 

"comme", "puisque",

"parce que" , "étant donné que",

"vu que".
