    Despite most surveyed journalists believing that the reporting of civilian harm is critical to broader war coverage, major US news organisations too often failed properly to report on the issue during the conflict against ISIS. Our new report is out.

    Coalition has used military force against Syrian govt or their allies at least six times in the Tanf region: Once on 18 May 2017 Once on 6 June 2017 Twice on 8 June 2017 Once on 20 June 2017 Once on 21 June 2018. Yet UK claims this is not occupation and so no duty to civilians.

    There is also complete silence on this preventable catastrophe from the US's remaining international military partners in the war against ISIS - the UK and France- though both continue to conduct strikes in Syria.

    The US is refusing to provide food to 30,000 Syrians trapped in a US-controlled part of Syria because it doesn’t want to create the impression it is planning a long-term presence in Syria. So they are slowly starving to death. By

    1. Many journalists continue to travel to Afghanistan. Their stories appear nationwide. 2. One of the reason that there has been a reduction in coverage of U.S. operations in Afghanistan is there has been a reduction in access. You want more coverage? Embed more journalists.

    Hey look! Afghanistan is finally back in the news...too bad the only time the news media cares is when they think they can use it to criticize the president.

    Trump later boasted at length about how big a hole in the ground and how loud a noise his "Mother of All Bombs" made in Afghanistan in 2017, then claimed, "They were going to make many of them, and I said no. We don't have - I don't want to drop that. I don't want to do that."
