A devastating article in L'Orient-Le jour plunges me into sadness: a Syrian refugee in Lebanon kills himself, out of desperation for not being capable of cater to his family's needs. He's not he only one, he won't be the last one, he's one out of thousands, and that´s the most discouraging thing. When will they plight end? When will we realize we are partially responsible for this?
Tracking the events in Iraq - in the whole region, actually - might be a colossal task. Particularly so during the Summer, when it is sometimes even difficult to grasp a single headline. We all are aware about something called ISIS - or IS, as of lately - that seems to be messing around from Lebanon to Iran. A group of bearded man that scares everybody, the only ones able to force Obama to reconsider his mantra of non-intervention and to make Assad look like a harmless puppy. We've read about them, we've seen tons of maps showing their advance, we've heard rumours and conjectures. In case you've missed half of it, there go a few basic things you need to know about them. And yes, they are creepy!
