Geopolitical mosaic: the State Department secretly finances Russian NGOs, and in Pyongyang they chant: "Death to the American imperialists!"
Tragedy in Damascus. Fifteen students of the University of Damascus died in a mortar attack. Syrian media accused of firing on the rebels, reports "Russian service BBC". The footage shown on television shows that there are windows in the university building, blood on the floor.
The opposition this week have intensified the attacks in the east and south of the capital, seeking to move into the city center. Fierce fighting between rebels and government forces continues in the northeast of the capital. Representatives of the Free Syrian Army announced the beginning of a new stage in the struggle for Damascus after receiving a new party weapons.
Syria, Iran and the DPRK against the current draft ATT. Work on an international arms trade treaty may not be completed on time due to opposition from Iran, the DPRK and Syria. These countries threaten to block approval of the final text of the agreement. The text of the ATT must be approved by a consensus decision of all 193-UN member countries participating in the forum, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Oleg Zelenin.
"While many countries express concern about the remaining roughness in the draft treaty, it was Iran, the DPRK and Syria that took a principled position, threatening to block the approval of the document," a conference source told the ITAR-TASS correspondent.
In particular, Syria insists that the treaty take into account the situation in the country and exclude the supply of weapons to the opposition. In a popular statement of the Islamic Republic, it is emphasized that the draft "does not take into account the requirements of a large number of states to curb the transfer of weapons to those who commit it for aggression." In addition, it did not reflect the “inalienable right of states” to purchase conventional weapons “in order to resist aggression and protect their territorial integrity”.
As for the mother of Europe, the European states lobbying for the adoption of the agreement declare their readiness to submit the draft document to a vote of the UN General Assembly if the work on it is not completed before the end of the day. In this case, approval of an ATT will require a simple majority of votes. Voting may take place 2 April.
Homecoming. Pavel Tarasenko (Kommersant) writes that in a report submitted to the parliament of the country, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Great Britain issued a warning that Muslims with European passports, who are now fighting in Syria on the side of radical groups, are about to return to the EU countries. From the followers of radical Islam, we must wait for sabotage and terrorist attacks.
The aggravation of the situation in London is associated with the Syrian conflict. According to the report, terrorist groups carried out more 2012 attacks in Syria in 600, and continue to attract people from Britain and other European countries. According to Charles Farr, the head of the British Security and Counter-Terrorism Service, 70-100 is currently fighting for the citizens of Elizabeth II on the side of the Syrian radicals. The total number of Europeans fighting against Assad is estimated at several hundred. Most of them belong to the Jihadist Front Al Nusrah group. MIA experts warn: by returning to Europe, the militants can organize explosions or use unconventional methods of sabotage. In particular, the risk of using biological weapons is high - terrorists can infiltrate the laboratory of a British university and take samples of a dangerous virus from there.
On the subject of the return of the "soldier of fortune" prepared a report and Konstantin Garibov ("Voice of Russia").
As in Britain, they warn in Paris: the reverse flow of radicals from Syria has already started. Now in Syria, on the side of the terrorists, according to the French Interior Ministry, fighting from 50 to 80 of the French.
In addition, some French citizens joined the ranks of Islamists fighting against the army of the Mali government. It is possible that they could shoot at their countrymen.
To count on the fact that Islamic radicals will decide that Europeans are their friends is foolish, political scientist Sergey Demidenko believes:
Anti-Israel advertising in the United States. She appeared in the New York subway, reports resource MIGnews.com. Just three days after Barack Obama’s visit to Israel. The author of the posters is the Americans for Palestine community group.
Banners in the subway call people to "end apartheid."
MIGnews.com recalls that, according to the latest Gallup polls, 66% of Americans favorably refer to Israel.
Hollande reports. By the end of the year, Paris intends to reduce the military contingent in Mali to 1 by a thousand people, French President Francois Hollande said during a television interview, reports RIA News".
“At the end of April we will begin the withdrawal of troops. Now there are thousands of 4 military. In July, no more than 2 of thousands of French soldiers will remain in Mali, at the end of the year only a thousand, ”the president said, noting that at any time, if necessary, the French military presence in Mali could be strengthened.
According to Hollande, France has achieved the solution of the main tasks that were set before the operation.
Note, earlier Hollande, judging by press reports, promised to end the operation in Mali and withdraw troops from there in March. We in the articles on “VO” did not agree with this and prophesied Hollande the “new Afghanistan”. We believe that the current vigorous promises of the French President are not a triumphant triumph, but sadness-sadness is hidden: in fact, Hollande now admits that the contingent will not get out of Mali until the end of the year.
UN + French UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon formulated the conditions under which the international peacekeeping force can be deployed in Mali, reports Maxim Yusin (Kommersant). Ban Ki-moon stated his position in a report sent to the Security Council.
It is planned that in Mali, 11,2 thousand troops and 1440 police officers will operate under the flag of the United Nations. A significant part of them is already present in the country - in the form of a military contingent of neighboring states, sent there as part of the ECOWAS peacekeeping mission. In the north of Mali, there are also more than 2 thousand troops from Chad who are not part of ECOWAS. The army of this country is considered the most efficient in the region. It is she who, together with the French, fights on the Adrar-Iphras plateau.
The transfer under the auspices of the UN will solve the problem of financing African peacekeepers - one of the main issues facing Paris. Ban Ki-moon actually gave the green light to the preservation of the French military presence in Mali. For the UN secretary general, it is obvious that African peacekeepers can hardly stand alone against Islamist detachments.
Ban Ki-moon did not give exact dates for the UN operation.
Congo Resolution. 28 March The UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2098, amending the current mandate of the UN Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The document provides for its expansion by creating “for the initial period of one year” rapid response brigades to fight extremists, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Oleg Zelenin.
Brigades are allowed to independently conduct “targeted offensive operations” against militants, unlike the MONUSCO forces, whose mission is to support the actions of the country's regular army.
The new contingent will be composed of members of the Community of Southern African Development Community and will undertake the implementation of "peace-enforcement tasks", including the prevention of "growth in the number of armed groups", their neutralization and disarmament.
The rapid response brigades will consist of three infantry battalions, auxiliary units, as well as "means of increasing operational effectiveness." They will be supported by an artillery battery, a special-purpose company and a communications unit. The main headquarters of the forces will be located in the city of Goma on the border with Rwanda, and the number of personnel will be 2-3 thousands of soldiers and officers.
The resolution adopted by the Security Council 2098 sets the maximum number of troops in 19815. As of today, more than 17, thousands of military personnel from 48 countries, including from Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain, the USA and France, are serving in the mission.
The UN military will begin work within a month.
News from Cyprus. As the RIA News"Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides met yesterday with Russian Ambassador Vyacheslav Shumsky to inform him about the details of the agreements with the Eurogroup.
Mr Kasoulides explained to the ambassador the terms of the agreement and the reasons behind him. In addition, he outlined the prospects for further structural changes that will occur in the banking system of Cyprus as a result of the recapitalization of the two largest banks.
The Foreign Minister expressed the opinion that Cyprus will remain "an attractive center for investment, noting the comparative advantages that the country continues to maintain both as a business center and as a popular tourist resort."
As RIA remindsNews”, As a result of negotiations on a loan to save the country from default, Cyprus agreed with the Eurogroup about the bankruptcy of the bank“ Laiki ”and about the restructuring of the“ Bank of Cyprus ”. Probably, large (over 100 thousand euros) depositors will lose 30-40% deposits in Bank of Cyprus, and losses in Laiki will be about 80%.
Paul Krugman on Cyprus. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman believes that Cyprus should withdraw from the eurozone. Otherwise, the country will face a recession several years long. Rejection of the euro and devaluation will accelerate the transformation. Other Western economists agree with Krugman Finmarket.ru. Economists agree, but politicians will not agree to this.
Cyprus is a small open economy with two export sectors: banks and tourism. The banking sector was destroyed last week, Krugman says. This alone will lead to a serious and long recession. But the top three lenders will add to this the program of saving government spending to balance the budget burdened by debts. The fall in GDP in this situation can reach 20%.
Exit Krugman: Cyprus needs a tourist boom and the rapid growth of other exports. The growth engine could be agriculture, which is now held back by a strong euro. Hence, the easy way to achieve rapid growth is devaluation.
The government of Cyprus may issue temporary money or promissory notes for the transition period.
EU assistance, according to Krugman, will not work, but the level of debt will rise. After providing assistance to the country, Cyprus’s national debt will rise to 140% of GDP - about the same as Greece had in 2010. At the same time, deflation and the fall in GDP in Cyprus will be even tougher than in Greece.
As for the fixed exchange rate, it does not make the dynamics of the public debt more manageable, as proved by the examples of Greece and other countries. This is already recognized in the IMF, which this medicine has invented.
About German Europe. On this subject argues Gideon Rahman ("The Financial Times", Great Britain; translation source - "InoSMI").
Cypriots are dissatisfied, the author writes. They had to obey the will of a great and unmerciful power - Germany. Cypriot newspapers portray Angela Merkel as a barbarian, and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is called a "fascist." But Germanophobia is not fair, the journalist notes, since to a large extent German taxpayers will again pay for providing assistance within the eurozone.
And yet, after the crisis in Cyprus, the contours of “German Germany” began to show through clearly, because Europe is now driven by the ideas and preferences of Berlin politicians. Without the participation and without the sanction of the German government regarding Cyprus, nothing could be solved. The key representative of the ECB during the crisis was the German Joerg Asmussen, not the Italian President Mario Draghi.
The crisis risks today have become too high, and therefore Germany does not hesitate to defend its national interests. However, German politicians hope that this is temporary. As soon as everything settles and new EU structures are formed, the journalist writes, for Germany there will be no need to emphasize its importance. True, the eurozone crisis is far from over. It is not clear which EU structures will appear after its completion and it is not clear whether they will weaken or, on the contrary, strengthen German power.
As a result, Germany continues to charge everyone, the author finishes her thought.
Redistribution of the world for Cyprus? "Russian dirty money", CIA machinations, German plans and more. Adelaide Sigida (Utro.ru) spoke about the next meeting of the Moscow Political Club on Wednesday at the Rosbalt news agency. They argued there on the topic "Cyprus as a reason for a third world war."
According to the audience, the situation in Cyprus is an analogue of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. The true meaning of the events is in the struggle of opposing geopolitical centers. This was said by the expert of the Center for Eastern European Studies Andrei Okara.
Offshore economy made of Cypriot parasites and lumpen. Now Germany is demanding that Greece and Cyprus change and resemble post-industrial Europe. The report of the German intelligence that Cyprus "dirty" money from Russia is spinning, initiated by the CIA. In short, the redistribution of the world will soon break out, as a result of which Russia will not become a global center at all, but will receive the role of a bargaining chip in relations between the US and China. Okara advises Moscow to urgently make a choice between China or America.
Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, believes that the moment to intervene in the affairs of Cyprus was not accidental. Once the Olympics-80 and falling oil prices destroyed the Soviet Union, Kabanov recalled. Ekaterina Kuznetsova, director of the European programs of the Center for the Study of the Postindustrial Society, agreed with this: "The Olympics and the World Cup are the weapon of the West against us."
Experts also reminded that someone must pay for the missing bank deposits. It is clear who: ordinary Russians.
In general, the events of Cyprus will provoke not only a third world war, but also a revolution in Russia. This scenario, according to various experts, is thought out and prepared by the West.
"The case of Betancourt" went to the prosecutor. Preliminary investigative activities in the case of Betancourt, one of the defendants of which is Nicolas Sarkozy, have been completed. 28 March, the judges decided to transfer the dossier to the prosecutor's office, reported "Vesti".
The official statement of the prosecutor of the city of Bordeaux, Claude Laplo says: “Three investigative judges authorized for more than two years to conduct a judicial investigation into the abuse of weakness, aggravated fraud, complicity and concealment of these crimes against Ms. Lilian Betancourt ... 28 March 2013 year they transferred the investigative case to the republican prosecutor for further settlement and notified 12 of the defendants, 5 plaintiffs and their lawyers about this. ”
It is noteworthy that the decision of the judges was announced the next day after information appeared in the press, according to which Jean-Michel Gentil, one of the judges leading the case, and who interrogated Nicolas Sarkozy, received an anonymous letter with threats of reprisal. In the envelope with the letter was also enclosed a pistol sleeve.
Public Enemies? "Inopressa" made a review on the subject of inspections of Russian NGOs.
Russian authorities are conducting checks in hundreds of NGOs: documents are confiscated, employees are being interrogated, writes The Christian Science Monitor. The purpose of the searches is to force NPOs to comply with the new law, which requires organizations funded from abroad to declare themselves “foreign agents” or close down, says journalist Fred Ware.
According to human rights activists from Agora, up to 5 thousands of NGOs in the 83 regions of the country were subjected to checks. “We believe that this is a preparation for repressive actions in the future,” said Alexander Cherkasov, a member of the board of Memorial. He expects huge fines, forced closure of NGOs and harassment of their leaders.
Searches are also conducted in international organizations that do not fall under the Russian law on NGOs: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Transparency International. “Some people fear whether searches in these organizations are related to another new law, which specifically mentions international organizations and expands the definition of“ high treason ”, the article says.
“Economic growth has stopped, the people are clearly tired of the faces of the old politicians. So, it's time to look for enemies, - political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin notes. “Another goal is to close alternative sources of information and silence critics.”
The Washington Post, in an editorial, explains to readers that President Putin is seeking to intimidate NGOs. This is probably an element of Putin’s campaign to suppress all the calls of his monopoly on power, the paper suggests, pointing out that all this “smacks of outdated Soviet-style thinking that has discredited itself.”
“The unprecedented verification of public organizations in Russia shows that Vladimir Putin has openly turned to management with the help of a policy of intimidation,” writes The Guardian correspondent in Moscow, Miriam Elder. NCOs throughout Russia, including the Catholic parish in the Rostov region, the newly opened Aqua Center for Environmental Education in Novorossiysk, a charity organization against AIDS in Bashkiria, were subjected to checks.
According to many Russian human rights activists, the checks have become a warning. In the future, the refusal to register according to the law may entail the closure of organizations, fines and sentences of two years in prison, the article says.
West demanded an explanation. France demanded an explanation from Moscow about the inspections of a number of NGOs. Earlier, similar demands were made by the US and German authorities, write Anna Analbaeva and Dmitry Scherbakov ("Sight").
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Philippe Lallier said: "This morning we asked the Russian Embassy in Paris to provide explanations about the investigations into the actions of a number of non-governmental organizations, foundations and associations, including French ones."
On Wednesday with an extraordinary inspection, representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor's Office and the tax service came to the center “Transparency International” (TI-R). This was reported by the director of the center, a member of the Human Rights Council under the President (HRC), Elena Panfilova: “They gave us orders to conduct an unscheduled audit of our center’s activities, familiarized with the documents and materials that we prepare and use in our work.” The prescriber’s order, she continued, contains a request for “the same documents that we provided as part of a routine inspection of the Ministry of Justice, which passed from February 1 to February 27 of the current year”.
As the Vzglyad newspaper reported earlier, on Monday the Ministry of Justice explained the objectives of NPO inspections: they pass to assess the compliance of these organizations with their statutory goals and Russian legislation. The next day, US State Department spokesman Wig Ventrell said that the United States is concerned about audits of non-profit organizations in Russia. Concern about the mass inspections of NGOs in Russia expressed and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany. Markus Lehning, the ombudsman of the German government for human rights, noted that the work of virtually all NGOs, especially international non-profit organizations that have received the status of “foreign agents”, is under suspicion of illegality in Russia.
Secrets of the State Department. The US continues to finance Russian NGOs through “platforms outside Russia,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at a press briefing on Thursday, reports correspondent RIA "News" Maria Tabak. However, what kind of "platform", she refused to specify.
“As you know, the Russians have seriously limited our ability to provide direct funding in Russia, especially with our decision to terminate the activities of the Agency for International Development. Nevertheless, we provide funding through platforms outside of Russia to those organizations that still want to work with us, knowing that they have to report to their government for this work, ”said Nuland. She added: “I don’t want to go into too much detail about how we do it, because it will only jeopardize these programs and organizations that receive funding.”
Further, the State Department spokeswoman stressed that the United States is actively working to understand exactly which organizations want to receive funding from them, and inform them about how to obtain such support.
Old disc: Russian document rejected. Georgia rejected the proposed Russia document on the non-use of force between Tbilisi on the one hand and Sukhumi and Tskhinvali on the other. Reported it RIA News" State Secretary, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Grigory Karasin after the end of the 23 round of Geneva discussions on Transcaucasus that ended on Wednesday.
Comrade Karasin said: “Special attention was devoted to the issue of the non-use of force, since this is the core task of the Geneva discussions - reaching a legally binding document on the non-use of force between Georgia and Abkhazia and South Ossetia ... Unfortunately, the Georgian side again blocked the work on this project still insists on some unilateral obligations on the non-use of force by the Russian Federation. For us, this is fundamentally unacceptable and, thus, they have blocked work. ”
Estonia has set an internal record for independence. Mikhail Sheinkman ("Voice of Russia") talked about the new Estonian holiday.
27 March they now have - Day of the continuation of freedom. This means that the current, post-Soviet, Estonia in its sovereign duration has surpassed itself pre-war sample.
The first, as it is called, the republic, existed from 1918 to 1940 year. On the day, more precisely, already two days less than this - the second. Therefore, the celebration is a symbol of the continuity of the local statehood and a sign of gratitude to all who fought for the independence of the country. ”
This is how the authorities explain the reason to celebrate the country. State flags are hung on the buildings, events are held in all cities and institutions. Television and radio canceled the schedule and worked for the holiday. President Ilves addressed the people.
True, no one noticed mass enthusiasm in Estonia.
The defenders of the Bronze Soldier won the trial against Estonia. The European Court of Human Rights satisfied the claim of several Estonian residents who were victims of police actions during the 2007 riots of the year caused by the transfer of the Bronze Soldier. Relevant information is posted on the ECHR website, "Lenta.ru".
The European Court recognized that, in respect of the authors of the claim, Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (prohibiting torture and ill-treatment) was violated. In addition, in Estonia, due to their complaints, no proper investigation was carried out.
According to the court decision, Estonia must pay three victims for 11 thousand euros and one more - 14 thousand euros (as compensation for moral damage), as well as reimburse them the court costs in the amount of three thousand euros.
The complainants to the ECHR were a member of the Night Watch (a movement created to protect the Bronze Soldier) Alexander Korobov and other defenders of the monument. Korobov, who learned about the court decision from journalists, expressed his satisfaction that he had “achieved justice.”
As Lenta reminds, the April 2007 riots were instigated by the authorities' decision to remove the Bronze Soldier from the city center - a monument to Soviet soldiers who died while liberating Tallinn from the Nazis.
In the capital, hundreds of people were detained during the unrest. They were also taken to the cargo terminal of the Tallinn port (the detention facilities of the city were overcrowded). Those who got to the terminal, told later that people there were thrown on the cement floor, beaten, denied medical care.
In Poland, argue about hazing in the Russian army. A fresh review of Polish publications from "InoSMI".
One of the topics touched upon is hazing and corruption in the modern Russian army. Wirtualna Polska portal knows what prevents the transition of the Russian armed forces to a professional basis. This corrupts the ranks of the army hazing and corruption.
As long as the conscripts remain a source of income for draft commissions and officers, the newspaper writes, no positive changes can be expected in this area.

Kim Jong-un expressed confidence that in the current conditions “it is time to settle accounts with the American imperialists” and declared that the bases of the enemy “will be turned into ashes with one blow”.
ITAR-TASS, referring to the news agency "Renhap", writes that the armed forces of South Korea have recorded increased activity in the units of medium and long-range missiles in the DPRK.
On the North Korean side, the movement of cars and troops at the locations of medium and long-range missiles in the DPRK is marked. According to military sources, they are in a state of readiness. “There is a possibility that they will strike a real blow,” said the source quoted by Renhap.

The NATO forces in Europe have a new commander in chief.
