The authors will launch Open Labour’s pamphlet ‘A Progressive Foreign Policy for New Times’ on December 10th, alongside Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy MP, Oscar-nominated and Emmy and BAFTA award-winning journalist Waad Al-Kateab, Labour Campaign for International Development vice-chair David Taylor, Professor Mary Kaldor and Alex Sobel MP. Details for how to register can be found here. I've just realised that Waad Al-Kateab is the journalist and film maker behind the documentary, 'For Sama'. Some see this as a propaganda piece serving the interests of the head-chpping jihadis with whom Waad Al-Katab and her husband, Hamza, were nicely embedded with in East Aleppo: https://www.rt.com/op-ed/480341-sama-oscar-aleppo-syria/ https://orientalreview.org/2019/12/10/a-beautiful-but-deceptive-documentary-for-sama/ I don't know how accurate these articles are but it seems pretty clear that the jihadis were used as proxies by the 'west' to further their regime change agenda in Syria. That the 'useful idiots' of the 'soft left' would associate with such a doubtful character as Waad is par for the course, I guess.
