“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Khasfa Sinkhole 4000 Islamic Stale Victims
The Islamic State, (also known as ISIS) booby-trapped a naturally occurring sinkhole 30m wide which they have been using as a mass burial site for industrial level, assassinations. “Human Rights Watch” reported this could be one of the largest mass murder sites.
Iraqi forces seized control in mid-February 2017. Human Rights Watch visited the site around March 7, but they could not get close to the sinkhole themselves as landmines were scattered everywhere killing a journalist and injuring more.
Due to the scale of atrocity, they need international assistance in body recovery and make the site into a national memorial with help for the victims’ families by the international community.
