not heard of it. ian: no they haven t. but you d have heard about if we d lost it, i can tell you. anthony: right. the war began as a local rebellion by the dhofari people against the autocratic and outdated rule of then sultan said bin taimur. who had kept his nation isolated and stunted, out of concern for his hold on power. what started as a local uprising quickly became a serious full blown communist backed insurgency, as soviet and chinese influence poured in from yemen. ian gardiner remembers the conflict well. he fought in it, alongside omani infantry as a british royal marine. and later wrote about the experience in his memoir in the service of the sultan. a rare chronicle of the brutal incredibly difficult and almost entirely unknown war, fought in the rugged southern mountains.

Syria’s Labor Communist Party, a rich political history
The Story of the Labor Communist Party of Syria (1976-1992): A Chapter of the History of the Left in Syria (al-Maraya, 2020)
Thursday 3 June 2021, by Joseph Daher
Rateb Shabo, a Syrian leftist political activist, was jailed for 16 years in the 1980s and 1990s including three years in the government’s notorious Tadmur Military Prison for his membership in the opposition Labor Communist Party [1]. His recent book, The Story of the Labor Communist Party of Syria (1976-1992): A Chapter of the History of the Left in Syria (al-Maraya, 2020), is a must-read window into progressive political resistance to the Assad regime from the 1970s to 1990s.

About 30km southwest of London, the commuter town of Woking happens to be home to western Europe s largest cemetery. Its size isn t its only accolade; Brookwood cemetery has also been the resting place of some of the world s prominent thinkers, creators, activists and royalty.
They include Edward the Martyr, who briefly ruled the country in the 10th century and whose remains were moved to Brookwood in 1984; John Singer Sargent, the American portrait artist who painted several US presidents; and, for a time, Dodi El-Fayed, the entrepreneur who died in a car crash alongside Princess Diana.
the smell of explosives. the smell of blood. the smell of the food, cardamom, the smell of the tea. i loved it. this was a civil war. civil wars, typically, are the worst wars of all. you know that well enough in your country. anthony: but most people have not heard of it. ian: no they haven t. but you d have heard about if we d lost it, i can tell you. anthony: right. the war began as a local rebellion by the dhofari people against the autocratic and outdated rule of then sultan said bin taimur. who had kept his nation isolated and stunted, out of concern for his hold on power. what started as a local uprising quickly became a serious full blown communist backed insurgency, as soviet and chinese influence poured in from yemen.
