Iraq’s Sinjar Dist May Forever Be Changed As Few Yazidis Have Returned
(Wikipedia) There have recently been two humanitarian reports on the situation in Ninewa’s Sinjar district. One looked at a subdistrict and found a severe lack of rebuilding. The second noted that the increase in Turkish air strikes on the area was another detriment to people returning. It found that only 30% of Yazidis have returned as a result. The United Nations did a profile of two towns in Sinjar Tel Banat and Tel Qasab southeast of Sinjar city which found widespread destruction and a lack of services. Two-thirds of residents said that access to health care was a priority... read more

Will Natural Gas Fall Victim to Geopolitics?
*Scott B. MacDonald* *Energy, Eurasia* It can be argued that natural gas has become a victim of its own success. Natural gas markets experienced a wild ride in 2021 due to a combination of volatile geopolitics, extreme weather, and poorly conceived green energy transition plans. Much of the same looms in 2022. Although the United States is a major producer and exporter of natural gas, higher prices for the commodity are showing up in heating bills, which are feeding inflation—which hit 7.5 percent in January, the highest level in forty years.
