For anyone familiar with the inner workings of the #Assad regime (& the palace in particular) for the many last decades, this cannot be an anodine event…
More on “Abou-Salim”, #Assad’s (father & son) Chief of Staff, deceased yesterday:
annasnews.com/archives/39713
"وكان يشرف #أبو_سليم على تنفيذ أوامر الرئيس في مختلف الوزارات والمؤسسات والهيئات، ويتابع آليات التنفيذ لهذه الأوامر ونتائجها، فضلاً عن وجوده الدائم كـ “حكم ووسيط” بين الضباط والجهات المتصارعة داخل النظام ، حيث كانت كلمته مسموعة لأنها أوامر الرئيس."
"لم يثبت #سوري في منصبه لست وستين سنة متتالية إلا هو، لم ينجو مسئول سوري مهم من ألسنة الناس واقلامهم إلا هو."
"وكتب عنه الإعلامي السوري الشهير دولياً إبراهيم حميدي @ibrahimhamidi “#محمد_دعبول المعروف ب “#أبو_سليم ، كاتم اسرار #سورية لعقود”."

The #Middle_East after Kabul’s fall; how reshaped?

“The #US withdrawal from #Afghanistan and the #Taliban's new leadership has brought about a multitude of surprising alliances.” haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
“Without #Qatar’s mediation and involvement, the #US withdrawal would likely have been much more violent and bloody.
Years ago, Qatar was “chosen” by the #Taliban to be the liaison between them and the United States.”
“#Qatar became a key state in the #US’ relat w the Islamist group,& arranged the meeting bet @CIA chief #William_Burns & #Taliban. Qatar is now running negos w Taliban over safeguarding Kabul’s airport, which will enable Taliban to start rebuild #Afghanistan & forge int’l ties.”

#Liban_Effondrement-
Autopsie d’une crise #économique systémique.
Une synthèse par ⁦@ishacdiwan⁩ pour ⁦@ifi_aub⁩ dont il est Senior Fellow: lorientlejour.com/article/127371…
Cet article d’@ishacdiwan fait partie d’une série plus exhaustive sur les ressorts et impacts de la crise #Libanaise globale, et que @ifi_aub publie sur plusieurs semaines en collaboration avec @LOrientLeJour et @lorienttoday.
“La cause immédiate du désastre #libanais est désormais claire: un pays qui a trop dépensé, à crédit, sans augmentation proportionnelle de la production, puis l’arrêt soudain des flux financiers lorsque la confiance en un atterrissage en douceur s’est évaporée.”

Derrière les rivalités…
“Alger et Rabat instrumentalisent dans les moments de graves crises la menace supposée que représente le voisin, pour contraindre leurs opposants au silence.”

#Algérie/#Maroc; une analyse intéressante (⁦@CERI_SciencesPo⁩) lemonde.fr/idees/article/…
“Aux yeux du régime #algérien, il y a le ‘Hirak béni’, qui a permis de mettre un terme aux dérives mafieuses de la présidence Bouteflika, et le Hirak maudit’, qui revendique un changement de régime et qui serait soutenu -selon le pouvoir- par des forces ‘impérialo-sionistes’.”
“La donne aujourd’hui est différente avec d’un côté le sentiment de crainte d’une #Algérie appauvrie et déclassée, et de l’autre un #Maroc émergent qui n’a plus rien à voir avec le royaume féodal et pauvre d’Hassan II.”
