Operation Is Blow to al Qaeda, Taliban
Keywords:
Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda
01/05/2009
The death of Osama Bin Laden in a U.S. raid at Abbotabad in Islamaba on May 1, 2011. During 2011 the face of the Middle East and most Arab countries began to change with the democracy protests. The result is a region where ordinary Arabs are taking the first steps to determine their own future and look to good governance and democratic processes as critical elements in social and economic change. This leaves little room for the kind of movement Osama Bin Laden led. For the U.S., Arabs and the Muslim world the shift is to other priorities.

Vast improvements in counterterrorism operations against Al Quaeda.
01/05/2009
Britain's former head of overseas counter terrorism operations Barrett, who heads the UN group monitoring Al Quaeda and Taliban, says the capabilities and effectiveness of intelligence and operations have increased tremendously. This is happening just as younger Muslims of anew generation are less interested in religion and have no memory of earlier events, and their are fewer competent people in the militant groups.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
