Dear mr. barr,
… this letter does not express all that is in my
heart, mr. barr. but if it says nothing else it says
that we do not hate you or rejoice to see your
industry destroyed; we hate the agribusiness
system [agricultural corporations] that seeks to
keep us enslaved and we shall overcome and
change it not by retaliation or bloodshed but by a
determined nonviolent struggle carried on by
those masses of farm workers who intend to be
free and human.
sincerely yours,
cesar e. chavez

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
