He is currently living in Jordan where he works withInter- national Medical Corps, a non- profit organization that provides aid and services to refugees. What is your role in Jordan? I am currently a mental- health and community-protec- tion intern with the non-profit organization, International Medical Corps. As the devastating situation in Syria continues to deteriorate and the numberof displaced Syr- ian refugees rises above 2-mil- lion people, IMC has stepped up its efforts to offer more and more services in Jordan. What were the most important lessons you learned at the University? The first is to be a quick and adaptive learner. I think at the University of Michigan every student takes such a broad col- lection of courses that require the use of a variety of skills in order to succeed. The second is to be open to the people and opportunities that present themselves in your life. At Michigan, I was able to meet and become friends with people from all over the coun- try and even world. What would you like your fellow Wolverines to know about your experience? Unfortunately, a large major- ity of these refugees are women and children. They are engulfed in an environment of violence, sexual abuse and a shortage of basic amenities, such as food and water. However, as bad as things are,the workhumanitarianorga- nizations, like IMC, are doing is simply incredible. Because of the work of these people, thousands andthousands of people are alive and have hope. - CARLYFROMM >>READTHE REST OF OUR INTERVIEW WITH LUKE FISHMAN AT MICHIGANDAILY.COM.

The Aug. 21 attack precipitat- ed the crisis over Syria's chemi- calweapons. The U.S.threatened a military strike against Syria, which led to a plan negotiated by Moscow and Washington under which the regime of President Bashar Assad is to abandon its chemical weapons stockpile. A U.N. report released Mon- day confirmed that chemical weapons were used in the attack but did not ascribe blame. The United States, Britain and France cited evidence in the report to declare Assad's government responsible. Rus- sia called the report "one-sided" and says it has "serious reason to suggest that this was a provoca- tion" by the rebels fighting the Assad regime in Syria's civil war. The report, however, provid- ed data that suggested the chem- ical-loaded rockets that hit two Damascus suburbs were fired from the northwest, indicating they came from nearby moun- tains where the Syrian military is known to have major bases. Mount Qassioun, which over- looks Damascus, is home to one of Assad's three residences and is widely used by elite forces to shell suburbs of the capital. The powerful Republican Guard and army's Fourth Division, head- ed by Assad's younger brother, Maher, has bases there. A senior U.N. diplomat, speak- ing on condition of anonymity because some of this material ammosm was from private meetings, said: "It was 100 percent clear that the regime used chemical weapons." The diplomat cited five key details, including the scale of the attack, the quality of the sarin, the type of rockets, the warheads used and the rockets' trajectory. A Human Rights Watch report also said the presumed flight path of the rockets cited by the U.N. inspectors' report led back to a Republican Guard base in Mount Qassioun. "Connecting the dots provid- ed by these numbers allows us to see for ourselves where the rock- ets were likely launched from and who was responsible," said Josh Lyons, a satellite imagery analyst for the New York-based group. But, he added, the evi- dence was "not conclusive." The HRW report matched what several experts concluded after reading the U.N. report. The U.N. inspectors were not instructed to assess which side was responsible for the attack. "While the U.N. stuck within its mandate, it has provided enough data to provide an overwhelming case that this had to be govern- ment-sponsored," said Anthony Cordesman, national security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The inspectors described the rockets used to disperse the sarin as a variant of an M14 artillery rocket, with either an original or an improvised warhead, which the rebels are not known to have. There is no conceivable way to prove the rebels could not have gotten them, Cordesman said, but he added that the modification of the rockets pointed to the regime. The U.N. diplomat in New York pointed to citations in the U.N. report and a private brief- ing to the U.N. Security Council by chief inspector Ake Sellstrom that reveal the scale of the attack: The seven rockets exam- ined had a total payload of about 350 liters (about 92 gallons) of sarin, including sophisticated stabilizing elements that match those known to be in the Syrian stockpile.
