Lund, Sweden – May 30, 2017

TFF PressInfo # 405: Keep focus on Aleppo and global dimensions of Syria


By Jan Oberg
Three perspectives on the Syrian conflict formation

To some there are only internal aspects and it’s called a civil war only. That’s a necessary but not sufficient aspect.

TFF PressInfo # 404: Unique Aleppo photos seen by over 100.000 people but not in mainstream media


By Jan Oberg
It’s probably unusual that a research organisation’s photos go viral – and do so in spite of the mainstream media’s manifest lack of interest in their story.

TFF PressInfo # 403: Discussing NATO with a former US Assistant Secretary of Defence


By Jan Oberg

I’m afraid he got some stuff wrong such as the establishment of NATO and whether or not Kosovo is part of the Balkans.

EU’s tragic and self-defeating policy on refugees – the Malta Summit 2017

Comment by Jan Oberg

The Malta EU meeting is expressive of militarism, colonialism and racism in one. Is it time perhaps to call the EU the Evil Union? People outside, in the rest of the world sees this and will draw their conclusions.
And an – admittedly unconventional – proposal on what to do with the politicians who are responsible for the destruction of Libya.
