The photograph of a dead Syrian Kurdish child Aylan on a beach in Turkey, that arouses Europe about the migrants in the Mediterranean from war torn areas
09/04/2015
The child's parents made it from Damascus to Aleppo to Kobani. They paid $4000 for the mother, father, 4 year old Aylani and his brother, to make it from a beach in Turkey to the Greek island of Kos. The boat capsized and the mother and children were drowned. Only the father survived, so distraught he is going back to Kobani for burial. A huge wave of migrants are leaving the war tonr areas in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Eritrea, in North Africa, increasing the urgency of resettlement efforts, and European efforts for negotiating peace in the region.

The evolution of the war in Syria in different phases after the Arab Spring- 2011-2017
11/18/2015
Liz Sly of the Washington Post provides an excellent account of the different phases of the war in Syria from its beginning in the Arab Spring in 2011 as a democracy protest movement, to rebels fighting the Assad regime, the entry of Russia and Iran into the conflict, to current situation with the Islamic State and other rebel groups in control of different areas in Syria. The war ends up turning half of the Syrian population of 22 million into refugees or displaced status, with millions in refugee camps in Turkey, and hundreds of thousands moving towards Germany for asylum. As the conflict evolves it becomes more complicated than when pro-democracy rebels were fighting the government in Damascus- as Russia intervenes in the conflict and the U.S. stays on the sidelines, the Kurds defending their areas with Turkey worried about Kurdish autonomy, and the Shia-Sunni sectarian aspect dividing the Shia Iran supported government in Iraq and Sunnis in Iraq, and France under Hollande switching earlier policy to conduct an air campaign after terrorist attacks in 2015.

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.
