Flood of sanctions fails to halt Syrian bloodshed
Published: 1/12/2011 at 05:32 AM
Online news:
The embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday pressed on with a deadly crackdown on dissent even as a flood of fresh sanctions further isolated Damascus.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem attends a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in the Saudi coastal city of Jeddah.
Activists said 14 civilians were killed by Syrian forces in the flashpoint provinces of Idlib and Homs, while in the southern Daraa province, cradle of eight months of anti-regime unrest, a blast killed seven security forces.
The latest violence came as the world’s largest Islamic body, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, urged member Syria to cooperate with the Arab League and allow a team of observers to visit the country.
The League imposed sanctions on the Damascus regime Sunday after it defied an ultimatum to accept observers under a plan to halt the crackdown which the UN says has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.
After emergency talks on Syria, a statement by the OIC urged Damascus to “immediately stop using excessive force against civilians” and to “respond to the decisions of the Arab League.”
Speaking after the meeting OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said the group “urged Syria to stop violating human rights and to allow Islamic and international human organisations access to Syria.”
Turkey,gabion basket, following the lead of Arab states, also announced Wednesday a raft of sanctions against Syria winning praise from Washington which said the action will further isolate Assad’s embattled regime.
“The leadership shown by Turkey in response to the brutality and violation of the fundamental rights of the Syrian people will isolate the Assad regime,” said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu announced the sanctions including an immediate ban on all transactions with the Damascus government and central bank and freezing all Syrian state assets in Turkey.
Similar measures would also be taken against “some well-known businessmen who are strong advocates of the Syrian regime,” he said, adding that sanctions will also include a ban on Syrian officials visiting Turkey.
The Arab League, which suspended Syria’s membership in November, approved unprecedented sanctions against Syria including a freeze on government assets, suspending cooperation with Syria’s central bank and halting funding for projects in the country.
On Wednesday a League committee met at the pan-Arab bloc’s Cairo headquarters to decide on a list of Syrian officials who will be banned from Arab countries and whose bank accounts will be frozen.
They were also due to decide on when to implement a decision to end all flights to and from Syria and a list of necessary foodstuffs that will be excluded from the ban on trade with Syria’s government.
Syria is also facing US and EU sanctions and the European Union is set to beef up punitive oil and financial measures against Damascus on Thursday, a move diplomats said was aimed at choking Syrian sources of funding.
They will include bans on exporting gas and oil industry equipment to Syria, trading Syrian government bonds and selling software that could be used to monitor Internet and telephone communications.
The US has slapped Syria with a package of sanctions, including a freeze on government assets, a ban on citizens from doing business with the country as well as a ban on the sale of telecommunications equipment to Syria.
The slew of sanctions appear to have had little impact on the regime in Syria, where the death toll rose again on Wednesday.
Security forces killed nine civilians in the northwestern Idlib province, including a 12-year-old boy and a woman, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Five other civilians were killed by gunfire in separate incidents in the central city of Homs.
And seven members of the security forces were killed in clashes with army deserters in the Daraa town of Dael, the Britain-based group said, adding that their vehicle had been blown up.
More than 164 people were also arrested in Dael where security forces carried out search operations, the group said, adding that 19 people were wounded by gunfire.
State television meanwhile reported that authorities released 912 people who were involved in anti-regime unrest but have “no blood on their hands, the third batch freed this month.
In Jeddah the OIC expressed frustration at the unending bloodshed and raised concerns about the international response to the crisis in Syria at the start of its meeting.
“We also refuse any military intervention and affirm our respect to Syria and its sovereignty… and welcome international and Arab efforts” to reach a solution,Thailand’s Thongchai in floods appeal-hesco, the head of the OIC said.
Just days after UN-appointed investigators accused Syrian security forces of crimes against humanity, including the torture of children,Democrats unveil price list for Froc’s boats-gabion, the UN Human Rights Council said it will hold a special session on Syria.
Friday’s meeting — the third by the council on Syrian this year — will be convened following a request by the European Union, a diplomatic source said.
Human rights group Amnesty International called on the UN Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court.
“It is high time for the UN Security council to take action,” the group’s Middle East campaigner Maha Abu Shama said.
Amnesty International is pressing for an arms embargo, asset freezes against Assad and his associates, as well as an investigation by the ICC.
Military Barriers/Hesco Bastions
Information
The QIAOSHI’s Military Barriers or Hesco Bastions is a modern gabion used for flood control and military fortification. It is made of a collapsible wire meshes container and heavy duty fabric liner, and used as a temporary to semi-permanent dike or barrier against blast or small-arms. One of the less heralded life- and labor-saving devices of war,wire mesh products, it is used on nearly every United States Military base in Iraq as well as on NATO bases in Afghanistan.
Originally designed for use on beaches and marshes for erosion and flood control, the Hesco Bastion quickly became a popular security device in the 1990s.
Assembly
Assembling the Hesco Bastion entails unfolding it and (if available) using a front end loader to fill it with sand, dirt or gravel. The placement of the barrier is generally very similar to the placement of a sandbag barrier or earth berm except that room must generally be allowed for the equipment used to fill the barrier. The main advantage of Military Barrier, strongly contributing to their popularity with troops and flood fighters, is the quick and easy setup. Previously,School opening postponed to Dec 13-hesco bastion, people had to fill sandbags, a slow undertaking, with one worker filling about 20 sandbags per hour. Workers using Military Barrier and a front end loader can do ten times the work of those using sandbags.
The Hesco Barrier come in a variety of sizes. Most of the barriers can also be stacked,钢格板, and they are shipped collapsed in compact sets. Example dimensions of typical configurations are 46″ x 36″ x 32 (1.4m x 1.1m x 9.8m) to 7 x 5 x 100 (2.1m x 1.5m x 30m).
A new system of Hesco Bastion developed specially for military use is deployed from a container, which is dragged along the line of ground where the barrier is to be formed, unfolding up to several hundred meters of barrier in minutes, ready for filling with soil by a backhoe.
Protection
Filled with sand, 60 centimetres (24 inches) of barrier thickness will stop rifle bullets and shell fragments. It takes 1.5 metres (five feet) of thickness to prevent penetration by a rocket propelled grenade round. Approximately 1.2 metres (four feet) of thickness provides protection against most car bombs.

BAAC, CP to help farmers lift output
Technologies, hybrid seeds to be offered
Published: 1/12/2011 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: Business
The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) has teamed up with a CP Group unit to help flood-affected farmers resume work with more efficient production methods.
Rice farmers who obtained career rehabilitation loans from BAAC have the option of entering the programme, in which farm management, technologies and hybrid rice seeds are essential.
Montri Congtrakultien, CEO of the Crop Integration Business Group (CPS), said innovation in cultivation could help flood-hit farmers cope with troubles stemming from climate change.
Hybrid seeds offering strong yields and disease resistance are provided,Super ‘floodway’ mooted for Thai floods-hesco bastion, while more machine usage is urged to ramp up efficiency.
The company will buy back paddy at fair prices or help farmers to improve and distribute paddy to the market.
CPS has prepared 1,700 tonnes of CP111 hybrid rice seed to support the programme. It claims the seed offers productivity of 850 kilogrammes per rai, about two times higher than the average yield of Thai rice.
The agreement signed yesterday between Mr Montri and BAAC executive vice-president Arun Lertwilai is part of BAAC’s rehabilitation programme for flood victims.
The bank reported 341,496 farm households farming 9.03 million rai of rice fields had 4.68 million tonnes of paddy damaged. BAAC offers low-interest loans of up to 100,电焊石笼网卷,000 baht to flood-affected farmers. A three-year debt moratorium with no interest charges is allowed for farmers whose farmland and production were destroyed.
The Agricultural Economics Office reported that the disasters caused 72 billion baht in damages to the farm sector, dragging down the industry to 1% growth this year from a prediction of 3% earlier.
About 1.4 million people in the sector were victims, of which 1.3 million worked in rice and other crops.
To assist rice farmers, the Rice Department plans to distribute 72,000 tonnes of rice seeds to farmers for free, with a limit of 10 kg/rai and 10 rai.
That volume is unlikely to meet unusually high demand this year. Normally about 900,000 tonnes of seeds are needed each year, but the Rice Department can only supply 100,000 tonnes each year, causing farmers to reuse paddy for replanting or turning to companies such as CPS for seeds.
Mr Montri said CP111 took a decade of development. The hybrid has been used in 3,500 rai in the north and central plains for two crops with an average yield of 1,037 kg per rai.
