There was a lot of ways to get alcohol when I grew up in the UAE. You just had to know someone/foreigners. Doubt that it's much different in SA.

Canada to restart Turkey arms exports after Sweden NATO backing: report

www.turkishminute.com posted:

Canada and Turkey have reached a deal to restart Canadian exports of drone parts in exchange for more transparency on where they are used, and it would take effect after Ankara completes its ratification of Sweden�s NATO bid, Reuters reported on Friday, citing anonymous sources.

After 20 months of delay, Turkey moved swiftly this week to endorse Sweden�s membership in the western military alliance, including a parliamentary vote and presidential sign-off, leaving Hungary as the sole ally yet to ratify it.

Turkey is expected to send the final documents to Washington as soon as Friday, which would clear the way for Canada to immediately lift the export controls that it adopted in 2020, the two sources said, requesting anonymity.

The agreement was reached in early January after months of talks, said one person familiar with the process. A second person familiar with the plan said the sides agreed it would take effect after Sweden�s ratification was complete.

Turkey�s foreign ministry declined to comment.

Canadian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Charlotte MacLeod told Reuters that while the export controls currently remained in place, Ottawa aimed to resolve the issue with Turkey given its status as a NATO ally.

�Canada and Turkey continue to engage in frank exchanges on our bilateral, economic and commercial relations,� she said.

Sweden�s lengthy bid process frustrated some NATO members over what they viewed as Turkey�s transactional approach, which led to concessions from Stockholm and other allies regarding arms exports and counterterrorism measures.

US leaders have said Turkey�s ratification of Sweden�s NATO membership clears the way for Ankara�s long-sought purchase of US F-16 fighter jets.

Canada suspended drone technology sales to Turkey in 2020 after concluding its optical equipment attached to Turkish-made drones had been used by Azerbaijan while fighting ethnic Armenian forces in Nagorno Karabakh, an enclave Baku has since retaken.

Ottawa halted talks on lifting them in 2022 when Ankara raised objections to both Finland and Sweden�s NATO bids. But it re-started talks after a NATO leaders summit in July last year, Reuters reported at the time.

END-USER TRANSPARENCY

Under the agreement, Ankara would provide Ottawa with information on the end-users of Canadian-made equipment, especially if re-exported to non-NATO members, the sources said.

The �notification process,� standard under international arms trade, covers Wescam sensors used in Turkey�s Bayraktar TB2 drones and other dual-use goods and arms-related exports.

The first source said the deal improves transparency and communication between the sides and aims to avoid disagreement as in 2021, when Canada said Azerbaijan�s use of the camera equipment violated Turkey�s end-user assurances.

Ankara has repeatedly criticized export controls as contrary to the spirit of the NATO alliance. In the past it also faced trade embargoes by France, Germany and Sweden over tensions in the eastern Mediterranean and its operations in northern Syria.

While Ankara has called on Canada to lift the restrictions, it has also said that it will soon be able to produce the drone parts it imports, including optical equipment, on its own. Several countries, including Ukraine, Ethiopia and Pakistan, have bought Turkish drones after their battlefield successes.

On Tuesday Turkey�s Foreign Ministry said it hosted Canada�s associate deputy foreign minister, Cindy Termorshuizen, for talks on �regional and international issues,� without elaborating.

On Friday President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Turkey�s ratification of Sweden was welcomed by �Canada, Sweden, and all Western countries� and was viewed as a source of strength within NATO.

Under NATO rules, Turkey must deposit the final document � the instrument of ratification � at the US State Department archives to complete its Sweden ratification.

Canada was the first NATO country to ratify the entry bid Sweden made in 2022 after Russia�s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

quote:

Yet the threat remains. Early on Jan. 16, an Islamic State rocket attack was launched on an SDF-administered prison holding as many as 5,000 Islamic State prisoners, triggering a mass breakout attempt. While that operation was ultimately foiled, the U.S. deployment also plays a vital role in stabilizing an area in which 10,000 battle-hardened Islamic State militants are detained within at least 20 makeshift prisons and a further 50,000 associated women and children are held in secured camps. As the U.S. Central Command has repeatedly warned, keeping the Islamic State�s �army in waiting� and its �next generation� secured is a vital U.S. national security interest.

I didn't know the SDF has 50,000 women and children in camps.

Hey, the US backed state didn't just machine gun or bomb the 50000+ women and children whose only crime is being immediate family to ISIS dudes. This is very progressive compared to the days of anticommunism where entire villages got slaughtered as a matter of routine by the CIA & co. I wonder why they've switched tactics though, those reptiles have never flinched from genocide before.

Al-Baghdadi himself was radicalized at Camp Bucca. Those "secured camps" are a spawning pool for radicalized Salafists who only know being held prisoner by nominal socialists and the United States all their lives.

for many, their original countries refuse to admit them back, and others are from syria and iraq. i'm not saying it's moral in any way, i'm just at a loss as to what the solution is supposed to be, assuming they're not ready to accept a resurgence of violence
