    Fatah, 61 ans, devant les papiers d’identité de civils tués. Il a perdu son fils et sa belle-fille dans une frappe, le 14 mars © Jérémy André Après cinq mois de combats, les forces irakiennes appuyées par l’aviation américaine se fraient un chemin coûte que coûte dans l’ouest de Mossoul, vers sa vieille ville étroite et surpeuplée, encore tenue par les djihadistes de l’État islamique. Mardi 14 mars, une frappe aérienne a tué 26 civils. Ils s’ajoutent à des centaines de victimes « collatérales » déjà documentées, alors que près de 100 000 personnes ont fui la zone. Reportage à Mossoul de notre envoyé spécial.

    Welcome to the Age of the Commando - The New York Times
    ▻http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/opinion/sunday/welcome-to-the-age-of-the-commando.html

    Special Operations Command, or Socom, oversees all Special Operations Forces — our Delta Force operators, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Army Rangers, among others. Special Operations personnel deployed to approximately 139 nations in 2015 — about 70 percent of the countries on the planet. While a vast majority of those missions involve training the defense forces of partner countries, a few involve direct combat.

    Après #San_Bernardino, où en sont les #Etats-Unis face à l’Etat islamique ?
    ▻https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/international/151215/apres-san-bernardino-ou-en-sont-les-etats-unis-face-letat-islamique

    La stratégie américaine de lutte contre l’État islamique, entre frappes aériennes, opérations secrètes et efforts diplomatiques, ne porte pas ses fruits. Après la tuerie de San Bernardino, elle fait l’objet de critiques constantes, mais personne ne semble en mesure de proposer une alternative viable.

    U.S. Special Forces Expand Training to Allies With Histories of Abuse

    (The Intercept, 9 septembre 2015)

    Since 9/11, Special Ops forces have expanded in almost every conceivable way — from budget to personnel to overseas missions. Many were conducted with security forces implicated in human rights violations.

    While the U.S. military is barred by law from providing aid to foreign security forces that violate human rights, JCETs [Joint Combined Exchange Training] have been repeatedly conducted in Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Chad and many other nations regularly cited for abuses by the Department of State. Under the so-called “Leahy Law,” a vetting process is meant to weed out foreign troops or units implicated in “gross human rights violations” — including extrajudicial killing, forced disappearances, and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. But the State Department office responsible for the vetting process receives only a tiny fraction of funding compared to the projects it oversees, and a spokesperson noted that “State does not track cases in a way that is easily quantifiable.” SOCOM, for its part, was evasive about whether the military command was aware of individuals or units disqualified by Leahy vetting. “If you have questions about who has been barred, I recommend you contact the State Department,” SOCOM’s McGraw wrote in an email.

    Reports on the training of Special Operations forces, submitted to Congress and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, show that the U.S.’s most elite troops trained in 77 foreign nations alongside nearly 25,000 foreign troops under the JCET program in just 2012 and 2013. Both the number of planned missions and foreign nations involved in JCETs are forecast to rise next year, according to a separate set of documents publicly available from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller).
