Opinion; De-radicalization is a true second chance at life, the only real alternative to a lifetime<br />

<br />
Most of those fighting in Syria and Iraq now, will die fighting someone else’s battle. Some will survive,<br />
and possibly become more dangerous. But there also those who — broken, disillusioned and<br />
traumatized by what they have done or seen — will want to come home.<br />
What is to be done with them?<br />
<br />
I traveled to Syria in 2013, where I saw 16 cases of Tunisian prisoners being held by the Assad regime.<br />
Since then, I’ve been working in partnership with the families of those who have left Tunisia for conflict zones elsewhere and talking with the young people who have returned from Syria.<br />
After seeing that, and other programs in action, I have come to believe that de-radicalization can work.<br />
<br />
It is not a silver-bullet for our problems, nor can it ensure 100% success, but there is no doubt that deradicalization programs can be tremendously effective in countering terrorism.<br />
Although they are becoming more common around the world, such programs remain experiments in<br />
progress. Indeed, some operate in secret, waiting to see whether they are successful before the outside<br />
world learns of their existence. There may be as many as forty worldwide, the best known of which are in Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Indonesia, Germany and Denmark. Newer ones have sprung up in places such as Somalia and Pakistan.<br />
<br />
These programs are diverse, but “de-radicalization” is a useful shorthand, because most seek to change how former terrorists think. Do that, the assumption goes, and the risk of reengagement with terrorist activities goes way down.<br />
<br />
Yet there is some hope.<br />
A few weeks ago in Minneapolis, 18-year-old Abdullahi Yusuf was charged with conspiracy to support a terrorist organization, which carries a sentence of as much as 15 years in prison. In May 2014, Yusuf had gotten a passport a few weeks before securing an airline ticket to Istanbul, allegedly intending to go to Syria.<br />
<br />
But rather than put Yusuf in jail to awaits trial, a federal judge sent him to a halfway house to see<br />
whether he could be integrated back into the community. It was the first clear example of trying<br />
rehabilitation and re-integration as an alternative to detention. It is too early to tell whether Yusuf’s case will provide a precedent, but it represents a remarkable, if risky, first step.<br />
<br />
No de-radicalization program should offer blanket amnesty, and we should put measures in place to<br />
evaluate their effectiveness. But it is time to get creative. The U.S. Department of Justice has begun to recognize this and recently funded two academic research projects on de-radicalization. There are<br />
enormous benefits to be gained. After all, it is only by understanding the motivations and experiences of those who have gone to fight abroad that we can prevent the recruitment of another generation of<br />
militants.<br />
<br />
In many countries, de-radicalization is a true second chance at life, the only real alternative to a lifetime in prison or a life on the run.<br />

Confirmed a recent US Congress report, that there are about 4 thousand Jordanian joined for "Daesh" in Iraq and Syria since 2011, even today, to become Jordan 's second largest tributary of foreign volunteers to "Daesh", after Tunisia.<br />
<br />
A report of the Department of the Congressional Research on Jordan, issued last February, that recruitment for "Daesh" is no longer limited to the city of Ma'an , located south of the Kingdom alone but extended to include northern cities such as Irbid and Salt.<br />
<br />
The report, according to the Jordanian - Ghad newspaper reported, that the kingdom suffer long - term problems , including poverty, corruption and slow economic growth and high levels of unemployment and the migration of thousands in search of job opportunities, "as the population in a state of resentment and large - scale of the economic situation."<br />
<br />
The report examines the economic factors as one of the most important reasons for the enrollment of Jordanians organized "Daesh" in Iraq and Syria. Jordan also illustrates the contribution of the "inherent solution" operation against "Daesh" in Syria and Iraq, through the implementation of periodic air strikes, and allowing foreign troops to use its bases, and the sharing of intelligence information with coalition partners.<br />
<br />
The report of the Congress, "professional military and security services in Jordan, along with policies of its leaders, Jordan has made an important partner of the United States, on regional issues, and helped maintain broad support from Congress to help."<br />
<br />
The United States recognizes the growing urgent needs of Jordan caused by regional unrest, and Jordan 's efforts in the forefront of the struggle against the "Daesh" and other extremist ideology and terrorism, and the flow of refugees from Syria and Iraq, and the disruption of foreign energy supplies.<br />
<br />
Jordan is , according to the report is one of the major shareholders in the alliance that the US - led confrontation "Daesh", making it a target for the organization itself that this is not the only reason but also because of the Kingdom 's relations with the West, and "Israel" under the 1994 peace treaty as Trump 's proposal to transfer management of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem could provoke social protest, at a time when the government is facing domestic criticism already because of security shocks and alleged corruption and mismanagement of the economy.<br />
<br />
The report confirms that last year, has seen an increase in terrorist attacks against Jordan, while the Syrian refugees still putting pressure on the Jordanian economy and the social fabric, as well as Jordan faces with the beginning of this year , a group of regional threats that could undermine internal stability.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331004356157775191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431233868710696244.post-25880379029861819492017-02-22T21:01:00.007+01:002017-02-26T21:48:00.227+01:00After Eight Years in Guantánamo, He Yearns to Return<div class="story-body-supplemental" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; font-family: nyt-cheltenham, georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; justify-content: space-between;">

TUNIS — Dressed in a thick jacket and wool hat on a cool winter evening, counting the coins for his bus fare, Hedi Hammami looks like any other Tunisian on his way to work.
But he walks with a limp and sometimes pauses midspeech and screws up his face in pain. “That’s Guantánamo,” he explains. After eight years as a detainee in the United States detention facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, he says he still suffers from headaches, depression and anxiety attacks from the torture and other mistreatment he says he suffered there, even six years after his release.
Married with two children now and employed as a nighttime ambulance driver, Mr. Hammami, 47, seems to have rebuilt his life. Yet the pressures of living in Tunisia’s faltering democracy, under harassment and enduring repeated raids by the police, have driven him to make an extreme request.
“It would be better for me to go back to that single cell and to be left alone,” he said recently. “Two or three weeks ago I went to the Red Cross and asked them to connect me to the U.S. foreign ministry to ask to go back to Guantánamo.<br />
<br />
”
Continue reading the main story
The Red Cross refused to take his request, he said, but he insists nevertheless that at this point, that would be best for him.
“I have lost my hope,” he says.<br />
<br />
“There is no future in this country for me.”
When he was first released from Guantánamo in 2010, Tunisia was still a dictatorship under the rule of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and notorious for torturing prisoners, in particular Islamists. Deemed no longer a threat to the United States, Mr. Hammami was sent to the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
After the popular uprising in 2011 that overthrew Mr. Ben Ali and set off the Arab Spring, Mr. Hammami negotiated his return to Tunisia. He timed it well, benefiting from a national amnesty for political prisoners and a program of compensation that gave him a job in the Ministry of Health.
“I hoped very much that after the revolution everything would get better,” he said in one of several interviews in his rented home in a working-class suburb of Tunis.
Yet, soon after he began work in 2013, the police raided his apartment with dogs at 3 a.m., breaking the door and hauling him down to the police station. “They made me crawl on all fours down the stairs,” he recounted.
At the police station they said they just wanted to get to know him, and let him go after 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
“That was just the beginning.”
Since then, Mr. Hammami has lived under a constant regimen of police surveillance, raids and harassment. His cellphone and computer were confiscated. When he moved to a new house, the police followed him, turning up at all hours to question him.
In December 2015 he was placed under house arrest, told he no longer had the right to work and ordered to sign in at the police station morning and evening for six weeks.
He remains under “administrative control,” and the police enforce the order at will. He cannot travel outside Tunis. Every so often, like on Sept. 11, the police order him to sign in with them.<br />
<br />
“I feel someone is doing it for revenge,” he says.
The police have also scared landlords from renting to him, forcing him to move six times in three years. His Algerian wife’s residency card was confiscated, preventing her from working to supplement his meager salary. The family is barely managing, she said, asking not to be named for fear of further police harassment.
Stress and tension from the police actions have intensified the psychological problems Mr. Hammami brought with him from Guantánamo.<br />
<br />
“I feel too much pressure,” he said, rubbing his temples. “All that blackness comes back.”
Rim Ben Ismail, a psychologist working for the World Organization Against Torture in Tunisia, who has counseled 12 Tunisians who were detained in Guantánamo, says Mr. Hammadi’s wish to return to his cell is fairly typical of the Guantánamo detainees.
“Because of their past they are all presumed guilty and it is unlivable for all of them and their families,” she added. “The families are being threatened and harassed.” Parents in particular fear the Tunisian security forces and say they think their sons would be safer in Guantánamo, she added.“They lived with suffering, physical suffering,” she said in an interview. “But now there is a psychic suffering, and often they say, ‘Take me back there.’”
Raids have often been needlessly violent, she said; police officials break down doors and wake a suspect with a gun to his head, often in front of his wife and children. “Everything is being done to create aggression in a person,” she said. “They do not need to raid the house at 2 a.m.”
One of her former Guantánamo patients was harassed so relentlessly by police that he became suicidal and ran off to Syria, where he was killed. “He was such a gentle person,” she said sadly.<br />
<br />
“By treating these people like this you create a climate of revenge and the sense that they have no place at home.”
There is no doubt that Tunisia has a terrorism problem. It has been grappling with attacks from Al Qaeda-linked groups since 2013. The violence escalated to spectacular attacks in 2015 and 2016 that killed more than 70 people, many of them foreign tourists at a national museum and at a beach resort hotel.
Moreover, Tunisians reportedly make up the largest number of foreign fighters to have joined the Islamic State and other extremist groups in Syria and Iraq, and some have been encouraged to conduct attacks when they return home.
After an attack killed 12 members of the presidential guard in November 2015, the government imposed a state of emergency.<br />
<br />
At least 139 Tunisians have been placed under house arrest since, according to Human Rights Watch, which documented the cases in a report released in September. The sanctions have been justified in the context of countering terrorism but have “left people facing stigmatization and unable to pursue studies and work,” it stated.
International human rights officials have voiced growing concerns of abuses resurfacing in Tunisia. In a report released this week, Amnesty International accused the Tunisian police and security forces of employing repressive measures used by past dictatorships, including torture, deaths in custody, arbitrary house raids and often unlawful harassment of suspects, their families and communities.
Ben Emmerson, the United Nations special rapporteur for human rights while countering terrorism, said during a recent visit to Tunisia that human rights should be central to counterterrorism operations, noting that torture and other repressive measures fuel radicalism.
Mr. Hammami says he feels the police are pushing him that way. The son of a farmer from Tunisia’s poor northwest, he says he originally left for Italy in 1986 in search of work.<br />
<br />
There he fell in with an Islamic missionary group, Tablighi Jamaat, and later traveled to Pakistan, where he obtained refugee status.
He was arrested in Pakistan and handed over to the American military in 2002 and transferred to Guantánamo, where he was accused of training in Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.<br />
<br />
The Americans also say they found his identification papers in Tora Bora, the last redoubt of Osama bin Laden in the country, according to papers released by WikiLeaks.
Mr. Hammami, who denies going to Afghanistan or having any links to Qaeda or terrorism, was eventually released without charge.
Whatever his past, he says after nearly 20 years away, he just wants to live quietly. “I never committed a crime,” he said. “I don’t have a record, no theft, no ethics problems, nothing.”
“My only demand is to be stable, but they don’t let me live my life in stability,” he said. “They are pushing you towards death.”Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18309319940633855569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431233868710696244.post-30773052742599412642017-02-22T20:48:00.005+01:002017-02-26T21:28:37.497+01:00What are you doing for others ....

Sami was arrested on the Syrian border on 28 March 2012. His parents managed to visit him in Syria later that year. “People were nice.” His father, Mehriz, recalled, “They were helpful. My wife went on TV and begged for forgiveness. Eventually, we met with a Minister who said Sami could come home.”</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">The only condition attached to Sami’s release, and that of the other 42, was that it be negotiated by an accredited member of the Tunisian government. However, with diplomatic relations <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-tunisia-flag-idUSTRE8130IF20120204" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bebebe; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="severed">severed</a> in February by former President Moncef Marzouki, it was a condition Syrian officials likely knew Tunisia would be able to meet.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">However, following the <a href="http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/tunisia-reopen-diplomatic-ties-syria-libya-1877100688%20" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bebebe; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="restored">resumption</a> of relations between the two countries in April of last year hopes had been high that the 43 might return. However, nearly twelve months and countless promises later, there is still scant cause for optimism.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">His hands shaking, Mehriz brandishes a letter from the Doctor. He says it certifies that the four year wait has made him “crazy.” An hour earlier, he had emptied out his medications onto the hot tarmac outside the Ministry’s gate, as impassive guards watched him unbundle the blankets he said he would sleep under until his son was returned.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">51 year old Fathia Blé from Citte Ettadhamen is here for her son, Houssem. He had told his parents that he was going to Libya to look for work; his previous job at a city clinic had barely covered the cost of the daily commute. Fathia didn’t hear from Houssem again until, watching television one night with her family, her son’s name appeared amongst those being held in Damascus. Fathia feinted. In June 2013, along with some of the other parents, Fathia managed to travel to the Syrian capital to see her son. “He was in a horrible state. They were underground. I still don’t know if they’re feeding them. They’re at war, so I don’t know if they would feed prisoners.”</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">“He was a normal boy. He wasn’t religious. I don’t know how this happened.”</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px;">The parents of the 43 have maintained contact through the Rescue Association for Tunisians Trapped Abroad, (RATTA) which serves as a sometimes uncomfortable liaison between the families of those who have left for war in Syria, Iraq and Libya and the authorities and security services in Tunisia. Today, the association is acting in concert with the international grouping, Fate, (Families Against Terrorism and Extremism). The Association’s Tunisian President, <a href="http://www.tunisia-live.net/2015/11/27/opinion-carrots-not-sticks-are-tunisias-best-hope-for-returning-terrorists/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bebebe; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Iqbel">Mohamed Iqbel Ben Rejeb</a> has experience in these matters.

However, it wasn't long before it was leaked.<br />The centre, which will aim to convince people to turn their backs on extremism, will be located at Beaumont-en-Véron in the Indre et Loire département of central France.<br />It will be a kind of boarding school for radicalized French youths aged 18 to 30, who may have tried and failed to travel to the Middle East. It will officially be called a centre for “reintegration and citizenship”.<br />The establishment will be able to accommodate 30 people for a ten-month stay, with possibilities of undertaking an internship in nearby companies. Participants will sign up on a voluntary basis and will have to wear a uniform during their stay.<br />They will be not be kept as prisoners and can return to their families at weekends. But the fact they will be able to wander around the area freely has concerned local residents and officials.<br />Hundreds of radicalized individuals have left France to fight jihad in the Middle East, with authorities increasingly concerned about those who have returned home.<br />Local mayor Bernard Château said he reacted “with amazement” to finding out the centre would be located in a former education centre building on his turf.<br />The mayor of nearby Chinon was more outspoken.<br />“My first reaction was anger,” said Jean-Luc Dupont. “We have just learned that a centre will open here, but we were never at any moment consulted about this.<br />“We wanted this building used for young refugees and migrants in need of vocational training, not as a deradicalization centre.<br />“Imagine having to tell local people that radicalized individuals are going to be living next to them and to tell them ‘it doesn't matter',” said Dupont.<br />“Talking of radicalized people is scary,” he added.<br />One of those concerned residents, who asked not to be named, told Europe1 radio how they feared being the victim of a Paris-like terror attack.<br />“Of course the idea is scaring people. Everyone is afraid and asking lots of questions," she said.<br />“Shouldn't the army be handling these kind of questions,” she said.<br />“Yesterday it was Paris, tomorrow perhaps it could be us. Obviously we are scared,” she said.<br />Some observers have pointed out it is not far from the nuclear power plant at Chinon, where security has been ramped up like at other power stations and sensitive locations in France.<br />The local government chief from Indre et Loire was due to hold a meeting with local officials on Friday to try to allay their fears.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18309319940633855569noreply@blogger.com
