C’est dans les environs de Mossoul, dans le nord de l’Irak, que l’aviation française a attaqué cette nuit “un centre de télécommunications de Daech, un centre de propagande”, selon les mots du ministre de la Défense Jean-Yves Le Drian sur BFMTV.

Around Mossoul in the north of Irak French aircraft attacked last night “a telecommunications and propaganda centre”, according to the minister of Defence Jean-Yves Le Drian on BFMTV.

 “Nous avons frappé sept fois depuis lundi” a assuré ce jeudi matin Jean-Yves Le Drian, le ministre de la Défense. Selon lui, “Daech recule en Irak“, où il a perdu le contrôle des villes de Sinjar et Ramadi. Pas question pour autant de crier victoire, il faut rester “très précautionneux“.

“We have hit them seven times since Monday” Jean-Yves Le Drian confirmed on Thursday morning. According to him, “Daech is in retreat in Irak”, where they have lost control of the towns of Sinjar and Ramadi. Not yet a time to cry victory, it is necessary to remain “very precautionary”.

L’objectif de la coalition reste notamment de déloger l’Etat islamique de son bastion de Mossoul. Une bataille qu’il “faudra bien engager un jour”, a déclaré Jean-Yves Le Drian, mais ce sera “une affaire beaucoup plus compliquée. Il faut faire en sorte que les forces irakiennes et kurdes puissent être suffisamment aguerries pour être en situation de mener cette bataille.” Les ministres de la Défense de sept pays de la coalition anti-Daech,  (France, Etats-Unis, Australie, Allemagne, Italie, Royaume-Uni et Pays-Bas) se retrouveront le 20 janvier à Paris pour discuter de leur stratégie militaire contre Daech.

The objective of the coalition stays notably to dislodge the Islamic state from it’s Mossoul bastion. A battle that “must be engaged one day”, declared  Jean-Yves Le Drian, but it will be “a very complicated affair. It is necessary to create a space where the Irak and Kurds forces are sufficiently hardened to be able to win this battle”. The ministers of defence of the seven country coalition anti-Daech, (France, Etats-Unis, Australie, Allemagne, Italie, Royaume-Uni et Pays-Bas) we meet again in Paris on 20th January to discuss their military strategy against Daech.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
