    As Iraq’s Shiite militias attack Islamic State positions southwest of Mosul, a confrontation could be looming with Turkey over the city of Tal Afar.

    Comprising predominantly ethnic Turkmen, the town is significant to Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is insisting that his country has historical claims in the region dating back to the Ottoman Empire.

    Turkmen are an ethnic minority in northern Iraq sharing a Turkic heritage with Turkey.

    The former Ottoman stronghold…

    On the night I arrived in Irbil, Iraqi Kurdistan’s capital, a Cuban band was playing in the restaurant at my hotel. The first song I heard it perform with a distinctive Caribbean verve was John Lennon’s “Imagine.” The plea for a world without killing seemed highly appropriate, if forlorn.

    Kurdistan is part of Mesopotamia, a cradle of civilization that witnessed such crucial developments in human history as the invention of the wheel, the first planting of cereal crops and the first…

    The World Food Program reports a 38-truck convoy, carrying food for about one month, arrived in the South Sudanese town of Yei on Friday.  The agency says the food and other relief supplies will be a life-saver for thousands of families who have been trapped in the area for four…
