The Hidden Reason Ukraine Is Optimistic about Crimea
Of paramount importance to Russia is the Sevastopol naval base in Crimea. If Russia is having difficulty maintaining the Crimean region via a single bridge and a ferry service, that could explain Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine giving it a land bridge to Crimea. If Ukraine retakes the seized territory, Russia may face an uprising of dissatisfied citizens in Crimea.

Coincidentally, the week before the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel an organization called Arab Barometer surveyed Gazans on how they felt about Hamas. About seventy-five percent disapproved of Hamas.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
