2016Dall'inizio delle rivolte in Siria nel 2011, la situazione interna al paese rimane ancora oggi precaria e tragica. Sul campo di battaglia continuano a morire migliaia di individui in una strenua lotta tra i ribelli, le truppe di Assad e i terroristi dello stato islamico dell'ISIS. Fuori dai suoi confini nazionali, vari paesi si sono schierati invece su opposte posizioni tra inconciliabili diplomazie. In questo complesso e variegato scenario originatosi con le Primavere Arabe, ma maturato in seno ai diversi stati per decenni, il neonato Califfato islamico dell'ISIS ha trovato nuovi fronti su cui espandere la propria egemonia. Il libro "Siria, il potere e la rivolta" costituisce una dettagliata quanto minuziosa analisi sulle origini e le cause del conflitto siriano fino ad arrivare ai nostri giorni, ovvero un'attenta valutazione degli scenari che hanno scatenato una guerra oggi fuori controllo trasformatasi in una crisi umanitaria di proporzioni epocali. In una escalation senza precedenti gli eventi siriani hanno influenzato non solo l'intera regione mediorientale ma anche l'Occidente oggi costretto a fronteggiare su numerosi fronti la disperazione delle vittime e il terrore. Autori: Rossana Carne.
2017A quasi sette anni dall'inizio del conflitto la Siria è in frantumi. La sfida all'organizzazione militare dell'Isis e alla sua dimensione parastatale sembra volgere al termine. Ma questo potrebbe non coincidere con la fine delle ostilità. Assad è ancora al comando di un paese dilaniato, diviso in zone d'influenza, con le sue principali città distrutte e centinaia di migliaia di morti. Autori: Domitilla Savignoni, Matteo Bressan.
2019Dalle guerre russo-turche di fine Ottocento, passando per il Trattato di Sèvres del 1920 fino ad arrivare al voltafaccia di Trump nel 2019, i curdi sono stati continuamente traditi da un Occidente che prima se ne serve e poi li abbandona. Le donne e gli uomini che hanno difeso Kobane, che hanno strappato Raqqa allo Stato islamico costituendo una democrazia fondata sulla libertà religiosa, sulla parità tra uomini e donne e sulla convivenza tra le diverse etnie, sono diventati il simbolo dei valori che l’Occidente dovrebbe difendere. Nelle strade delle città del Rojava è possibile vedere negozi di Bibbie e crocifissi e assistere alle preghiere dei cristiani nello stesso momento in cui i muezzin chiamano i fedeli mussulmani a raccolta, le ragazze sono libere di portare o non portare il velo e frequentare la scuola senza alcun divieto o restrizione: tutto questo al centro di un’area geografica in costante tumulto. Questo libro racconta il sogno del Kurdistan: un’utopia di uguaglianza che nella Siria del Nord era sembrata possibile e che il popolo curdo non smetterà di inseguire. Autori: Marco Gombacci.
