Quote:ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas) is one of 15 important international agricultural research centers. It is also the host of a seed bank which contains 150,000 samples in its temperature-controlled seed vaults.
Based in the Syrian town of Tal Hadya, the organization was focused not only on saving seeds and working with the Svalbard Seed Vault in the North Pole, but also focused on improving livelihood in dryer areas such as Syria’s east.
But ICARDA’s work was suddenly interrupted when the United States launched its proxy war against Syria. Tal Hadya was overtaken by western-backed terrorists, also known as Al-Nusra and Ahrar Al-Sham. As is the nature of Western-backed terrorist groups, anything remotely resembling civilization and progress was banned, killed or destroyed.
