On the forty- second episode of All the Film Things, writer/ director Bassel Jadaa and actor Melissa Lindsey join me in analyzing Wim Wenders's 1987 romantic fantasy classic, Wings of Desire! This episode is spoiler- filled. Wings of Desire is a German art film that follows two angels who have been around since the beginning of time, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) in a, literally, divided Berlin, before the wall came down, as they observe and take note of the thoughts of people, young and old, in the city. One angel in particular, Damiel, confesses his desire to become human as he's grown tired of merely being an observer of humanity, craving to understand the good, bad, and mundane that comes with the human experience, of which he wholeheartedly celebrates. His desire becomes a reality as his falling in love with a trapeze artist named Marion (Solveig Dommartin) motivates him to “take the plunge”. The film also stars Curt Bois and features a special appearance by Peter Falk. Wings of Desire succeeds Wenders's widely acclaimed film Paris, Texas (1984) and, out of rebellion from calls to make “another Paris, Texas”, Wenders made something completely opposite, which ended up, much to his surprise, achieving higher levels of success. Wings of Desire is one of my very favorite films and is truly one of the most beautiful films ever made as it leaves a significant impact on all those who watch it.This is both Bassel and Melissa's first times on the podcast! I first met Bassel a few years ago through attending WIFT events before recurrently attending Jax Film Bar, for which he is one of the hosts. In recent months, we befriended Melissa, who has just recently began attending these events as well. Wings of Desire is Bassel's very favorite film while this was Melissa's first time watching the film. As we discuss in the beginning of the episode, we have all been deeply impacted by it. For the first twenty minutes, Bassel's audio is a tad quiet and staticy but I assure you the rest of the episode, his audio is much better! This episode was recorded on May 1, 2025. Bassel's long- awaited feature film, Dances of the Dead, is expected to premiere this year so I will keep you all updated on its release! Melissa is a talented free- agent actor/ dancer/ singer so if you have a project in the works, definitely reach out to her @evilseamonkey or on Facebook under her name (Melissa Lindsey)!Like the film Wings of Desire itself, our conversation seamlessly flows from one talking point to another. In this episode, we examine the thoughts of those the angels encounter, discuss the limited power angels have in helping humans, the important yet overlooked character of Homer, and the surprising way in which this film was made. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Hafez Al-Assad régne sur la Syrie pendant trente ans - de 1971 à 2000 - et devient incontournable pour la diplomatie de la région. Son régime autoritaire résiste à une tentative d'assassinat, et surtout, à une crise dont son frère Rifaat, tente de profiter alors que lui est hospitalisé. Mais le vieux Lion de Damas a plus d'un tour dans son sac et, avec le soutien de l'armée, il écrase ce coup d'Etat. Autre coup dur quelques années plus tard : la mort du fils promis à lui succéder : Bassel, le grand frère de Bachar, un play-boy qui porte beau et qui roule vite, trop vite. Hafez Al-Assad doit alors préparer le suivant dans la liste de succession : le petit frère plus effacé : Bachar.

This week we talk about coups, the Arab Spring, and Bashar al-Assad.We also discuss militias, Al Qaeda, and Iran.Recommended Book: The Algebraist by Iain M. BanksTranscriptIn the early 2010s, a series of uprisings against unpopular, authoritarian governments spread across the Middle East—a wave of action that became known as the Arab Spring.Tunisia was where it started, a man setting himself on fire in protest against the nation's brazenly corrupt government and all that he'd suffered under that government, and the spreading of this final gesture on social media, which was burgeoning at the time, amplified by the still relatively newfound availability and popularity of smartphones, the mobile internet, and the common capacity to share images and videos of things as they happen to folks around the world via social media, led to a bunch of protests and riots and uprisings in Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, and Algeria, initially, before then spreading to other, mostly Arab majority, mostly authoritarian-led nations.The impact of this cascade of unrest in this region was immediately felt; within just two years, by early 2012, those ruling Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen had been toppled, there were attempts to topple the Bahraini and Syrian governments, there were massive protests in Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Algeria, and Sudan, and relatively minor protests, which were still meaningful because of the potential punishments for folks who rocked the boat in these countries, smaller protests erupted in Djibouti, Western Sahara, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Mauritania.Several rulers and their ruling parties committed to stepping down soon, or to not run for reelection—some of them actually stuck with that commitment, though others rode out this period of tumult and then quietly backtracked.Some nations saw long-lasting periods of unrest following this eruption; Jordan had trouble keeping a government in office for years, for instance, while Yemen overthrew its government in 2012 and 2015, and that spun-out into a civil war between the official government and the Iran-backed Houthis, which continues today, gumming up the Red Sea and significantly disrupting global shipping as a consequence.What I'd like to talk about today, though, is another seriously disruptive sequence of events that have shaped the region, and a lot of things globally, as well, since the first sparks of what became the Arab Spring—namely, the Syrian Civil war—and some movement we've seen in this conflict over the past week that could result in a dramatically new state of affairs across the region.—In 1963, inspired by their brethren's successful coup in nearby Iraq, the military wing of the Arab nationalist Ba'ath party of Syria launched a coup against the country's post-colonial democratic government, installing in its stead a totalitarian party-run government.One of the leaders of this coup, Hafez al-Assad, became the country's president in 1971, which basically meant he was the all-powerful leader of a military dictatorship, and he used those powers to even further consolidate his influence over the mechanisms of state, which meant he also had the ability to name his own successor.He initially planned to install his brother as leader when he stepped down or died, but that brother attempted to overthrow him when he was ill in 1983 and 1984, so when he got better, he exiled said brother and chose his eldest son, Bassel al-Assad, instead.Bassel died in a car accident in 1994, though, so Hafez was left with his third choice, Bashar al-Assad, which wasn't a popular choice, in part because it was considered not ideal for him to choose a family member, rather than someone else from the leading party, but also because Bashar had no political experience at the time, so this was straight-up nepotism: the only reason he was selected was that he was family.In mid-2000, Hafez died, and Bashar stepped into the role of president. The next few years were tumultuous for the new leader, who faced heightened calls for more transparency in the government, and a return to democracy, or some form of it at least, in Syria.This, added to Bashar's lack of influence with his fellow party members, led to a wave of retirements and purgings amongst the government and military higher-ups—those veteran politicians and generals replaced by loyalists with less experience and credibility.He then made a series of economic decisions that were really good for the Assad family and their allies, but really bad for pretty much everyone else in the country, which made him and his government even less popular with much of the Syrian population, even amongst those who formerly supported his ascension and ambitions.All of this pushback from the people nudged Bashar al-Assad into implementing an increasingly stern police state, which pitted various ethnic and religious groups against each other in order to keep them from unifying against the government, and which used terror and repression to slap down or kill anyone who stood up to the abuse.When the Arab Spring, which I mentioned in the intro, rippled across the Arab world beginning in 2011, protestors in Syria were treated horribly by the Assad government—the crackdown incredibly violent and punitive, even compared to that of other repressive, totalitarian governments in the region.This led to more pushback from Syrian citizens, who began to demand, with increasing intensity, that the Assad-run government step down, and that the Ba'athists running the dictatorship be replaced by democratically elected officials.This didn't go over well with Assad, who launched a campaign of even more brutal, violent crackdowns, mass arrests, and the torture and execution of people who spoke out on this subject—leading to thousands of confirmed deaths, and tens of thousands of people wounded by government forces.This response didn't go over super well with the people, and these protests and the pushback against them spiraled into a full-on civil uprising later in 2011, a bunch of people leaving the Syrian military to join the rebels, and the country breaking up into pieces, each chunk of land controlled by a different militia, some of these militias working well together, unifying against the government, while others also fought other militias—a remnant of the military government's efforts to keep their potential opposition fighting each other, rather than them.This conflict was officially declared a civil war by the UN in mid-2012, and the UN and other such organizations have been fretting and speaking out about the human rights violations and other atrocities committed during this conflict ever since, though little has been done by external forces, practically, to end it—instead it's become one of many proxy conflicts, various sides supported, mostly with weapons and other resources, though sometimes with training, and in rare instances with actual soldiers on the ground, by the US, Turkey, Russia, Iran, the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Britain, France, Israel, and the Netherlands.This conflict has demanded the country's full attention for more than a decade, then, and it's had influence even beyond Syria's borders, as groups like the Islamic State, or ISIS has been able to grow and flourish within Syria, due to all the chaos and lack of stability, refugees from Syria have flooded across borders, fleeing the violence and causing all sorts of unintended disruptions in neighboring and even some further-afield countries where, in some cases, millions of these refugees have had to be taken care of, which in turn has influenced immigration-related politics even as far away as the European Union. Also due to that lack of internal control, crime has flourished in Syria, including drug-related crime. And that's lets to a huge production and distribution network for an illegal, almost everywhere, amphetamine called Captagon, which is addictive, and the pills often contain dangerous filler chemicals that are cheaper to produce.This has increased drug crime throughout the region, and the Syrian government derives a substantial amount of revenue from these illicit activities—it's responsible for about 80% of global Captagon production, as of early 2024.All of which brings us to late-2024.By this point, Syria had been broken up into about seven or eight pieces, each controlled by some militia group or government, while other portions—which make up a substantial volume of the country's total landmass—are considered to be up in the air, no dominant factions able to claim them.Al-Assad's government has received a fair bit of support, both in terms of resources, and in terms of boots on the ground, from Iran and Russia, over the years, especially in the mid-20-teens. And due in large part to that assistance, his forces were able to retake most of the opposition's strongholds by late 2018.There was a significant ceasefire at the tail-end of 2019, which lasted until March of 2020. This ceasefire stemmed from a successful operation launched by the Syrian government and its allies, especially Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah, against the main opposition and some of their allies—basically a group of different rebel factions that were working together against Assad, and this included groups backed by the Turkish government.On March 5, 2020, Turkish President Erdogan and Russian President Putin, which were backing opposite sides of this portion of the Syrian civil war, agreed on a ceasefire that began the following day, which among other things included a safety corridor along a major highway, separating the groups from each other, that corridor patrolled by soldiers from Turkey and Russia.This served to end most frontline fighting, as these groups didn't want to start fighting these much larger, more powerful nations—Russia and Turkey—while trying to strike their enemies, though there were still smaller scuffles and attacks, when either side could hurt their opponent without being caught.In November of 2024, though, a coalition of anti-Assad militias launched a new offensive against the Syrian government's forces, which was ostensibly sparked by heavily shelling by those forces against civilians in rural areas outside Aleppo, the country's second-largest city.On the 29th of November, those forces captured most of Aleppo, and then plowed their way through previously government-held towns and cities at a fairly rapid clip, capturing another regional capitol, Hama on December 5, and securing Damascus, the capitol of the country, on December 8.This ended the 13-year civil war that's plagued Syria since all the way back in 2011; Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, according to Russian and Iranian officials, and he resigned before he hopped on that flight; Russian state media is saying that Assad and his family have been granted asylum by the Russian government.This is a rapidly developing story, and we'll know more over the next few weeks, as the dust settles, but right now it looks like the Syrian government has been toppled by rebel forces led by a man named Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, a 42-year-old child of Syrian exiles who was born in Saudi Arabia, and who spent the early 2000s fighting against US occupation forces in Iraq as part of Al Qaeda.He apparently spent a few years in an Iraqi prison, then led an Al Qaeda affiliate group, which evolved into its own thing when he broke ties with Al Qaeda's leadership.This new group that he formed, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, tried to differentiate itself from groups like Al Qaeda by saying they didn't want to play a role in the global jihad, they just wanted to reform the government in Syria. As part of that pivot, they started governing and building infrastructure across the chunk of Syria they claimed, even to the point of collecting taxes and providing civilians with identity cards; though throughout this period they were also known for ruling with an iron fist, and for being hardcore authoritarians, dedicated to implementing a hard-line version of Islamist ideological law.In the midst of their blitz-like capture of Syria, though, representatives from this group have said they'll implement a religiously tolerant representative government, and they won't tell women in the country how to dress.Following the capture of Damascus, Syria's Prime Minister said that he would remain in the country, and that he was ready to work with whomever takes the reins as things settle down, happy to make the transition a smooth and peaceful one, essentially, whatever that might mean in practice.The US military has taken this opportunity to strike dozens of Islamic State facilities and leaders across the country, marking one of the biggest such actions in recent months, and military leaders have said they would continue to strike terrorist groups on Syrian soil—probably as part of an effort to keep the new Syrian government, whatever its composition, from working with IS and its allies.Russia has requested a closed-door meeting with the United Nations Security Council to discuss Syria's collapse, and it's been reported that they failed to come to Assad's aid because they're too tied up in Ukraine, and they weren't able to move forces from North Africa rapidly enough to do much good; though there's a chance they'll still shift whatever chess pieces they can to the area in order to influence the composition of the new government, as it's forming.Iran has said they welcome whatever type of government the Syrian people decide to establish, though it's likely they'll try to nudge that formation in their favor, as Syria has long been an ally and client state of theirs, and they are no doubt keen to maintain that reality as much as possible, and bare-minimum to avoid the establishment of an enemy along their border.And Israel has entered what's supposed to be a demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights because this zone is on the Syrian border; they've also captured a buffer zone within Syria itself. They've launched airstrikes on suspected chemical weapon sites in Syria, to prevent them from falling into extremist hands, they've said, and Israeli leaders said they want to keep any issues in their neighbor from impacting Israeli citizens. And Iraq's government has announced that they're doing the same along their shared border with Syria, so the whole region is bulwarking their potential weak points, just in case something goes wrong and violence spreads, rather than being tamped down by all this change.Israel's prime minister, and other higher ups in the government, have also claimed responsibility for Assad's toppling, saying it was their efforts against Iran and its proxy forces, like Hezbollah, that set the stage for the rebels to do what they did—as otherwise these forces would have been too strong and too united for it to work.Notably, the now-in-charge rebel group has been a longtime enemy of Iran and Hezbollah, so while there's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding all of this, Israel's government is no doubt generally happy with how things have progressed, so far, as this could mean Syria is no longer a reliable corridor for them, especially for the purposes of getting weapons to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, along Israel's northern border.That said, this same group isn't exactly a fan of Israel, and is backed by Turkey, which has been highly critical of Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon.So it's an incredibly tumultuous moment in Syria, right now, and in this region, as a whole, because the conflict in Syria has been super impactful on everyone thereabouts, to varying degrees, and this ending to this long-lasting civil war could lead to some positive outcomes, like Syrian refugees who have been scattered across neighboring countries being able to return home without facing the threat of violence, and the release of political prisoners from infamous facilities, some of which have already been emptied by the rebels—but especially in the short-term there's a lot of uncertainty, and it'll likely be a while before that uncertainty solidifies into something more knowable and predictable, as at the moment, much of the country is still controlled by various militia groups backed by different international actors, including Kurdish-led forces backed by the US, and forces allied with Turkey in the north.So this change of official governance may shuffle the deck, but rather than stabilizing things, it could result in a new conflict catalyzed by the power vacuum left by the Assad government and its allies, if rebel forces—many of which have been labeled terrorists by governments around the world, which is another wrinkle in all this—if they fail to rally behind one group or individual, and instead start fighting each other for the opportunity to become the country's new dominant force.Show

pWotD Episode 2777: Bashar al-Assad Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,941,915 views on Sunday, 8 December 2024 our article of the day is Bashar al-Assad.Bashar al-Assad (born 11 September 1965) is a Syrian politician, military officer, and surgeon, who served as the 19th president of Syria from July 2000 until his overthrow in December 2024. As president, Assad was the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Armed Forces and the secretary-general of the Central Command of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party. He is the son of Hafez al-Assad, who was the president from 1971 until his death in 2000.In 1994, after his elder brother Bassel al-Assad died in a car accident, Assad was recalled to Syria to take over Bassel's role as heir apparent. Assad entered the military academy, taking charge of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon in 1998. On 17 July 2000, Assad became president, succeeding his father, who died on 10 June 2000. A series of crackdowns in 2001–02 ended the Damascus Spring, a period marked by calls for transparency and democracy.Academics and analysts characterized Assad's presidency as a highly personalist dictatorship, which governed Syria as a totalitarian police state, and was marked by numerous human rights violations and severe repression. While the Assad government described itself as secular, various political scientists and observers noted that his regime exploited sectarian tensions in the country. Although Assad inherited the power structures and personality cult nurtured by his father, he lacked the loyalty received by his father and faced rising discontent against his rule. As a result, many members of the Old Guard resigned or were purged and the political inner-circle were replaced by staunch loyalists from Alawite clans. Assad's early economic liberalisation programs worsened inequalities and centralized the socio-political power of the loyalist Damascene elite of the Assad family, alienating the Syrian rural population, urban working classes, businessmen, industrialists and people from once-traditional Ba'ath strongholds. The Cedar Revolution in Lebanon in February 2005, triggered by the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, forced Assad to end the Syrian occupation of Lebanon.In 2011, the United States, European Union, and majority of the Arab League called for Assad to resign following the crackdown on Arab Spring protesters during the events of the Syrian revolution, which led to the Syrian civil war. The civil war has killed around 580,000 people, of which a minimum of 306,000 deaths are non-combatant; according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, pro-Assad forces caused more than 90% of those civilian deaths. The Assad government perpetrated numerous war crimes during the course of the Syrian civil war, while its army has carried out several attacks with chemical weapons (most notably, a sarin gas strike in Ghouta on 21 August 2013). The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that findings from an inquiry by the UN implicated Assad in war crimes, and he faced international investigations and condemnation for his actions.In November 2024, a coalition of Syrian rebels mounted several offensives against the country with the intention of ousting Assad. In December 2024, shortly before rebel troops took Damascus, Assad fled the country by plane, and his regime collapsed. He arrived in Moscow and was granted political asylum.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:49 UTC on Monday, 9 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Bashar al-Assad on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Geraint.

//The Wire//2300Z October 3, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: ISRAEL STRIKES TARGETS IN SYRIA, CONTINUES INVASION OF LEBANON. RECOVERY CONTINUES IN AMERICAN SOUTHEAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: An Earth-facing X9.0-class solar flare has been observed overnight, continuing the heightened solar activity during this solar cycle. AC: This will likely degrade shortwave radio communications for the next few days on the sun-facing side of Earth.Middle East: Last night, Israeli forces conducted a missile strike near a Russian military base in Syria. AC: The diplomatic situation in Syria with regards to Russia is complicated. Russia maintains several airbases in Syria. Most of these are formerly Syrian military bases, which are now manned and operated by Russians. However, immediately next to some military sites, are large ammo dumps intended for the storage of Iranian arms, and/or supplies for Hezbollah. This is likely what happened at Khmeimim Air Base last night. This facility, which is co-located with Bassel al-Assad International airport, was host to an Israeli naval bombardment via dozens of missiles which struck the facility. Details regarding exactly what was struck are unclear, however initial Syrian media reports indicate that Israel was probably targeting one of these storage facilities that was technically Russian, but really operated by Iranians, proxies, or other non-Russians. However, this is unlikely to matter much, as Russian forces did intercept some of the Israeli missiles targeting the facility.In response, Russia has ordered all 1.5 million Russian citizens located in Israel to depart the country as soon as possible, while commercial means are still available.Red Sea/HOA Region: Houthi targeting continues as before, with the successful strike of two western cargo vessels a few days ago. The M/T CORDELIA MOON and the M/V MARATHOPOLIS were struck by Houthi Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and cruise missiles a few days ago. Both vessels were damaged in the attack, but the crew of both vessels have maintained command and continued to their next port of call.-HomeFront-United States: Panic buying has been reported around the nation due to the Longshoremen labor strike. As of this afternoon the Longshoremen have voted to pause the strike until January 15, due to the lives that are being lost due to logistical problems throughout the southeast. However the damage has largely been done, as logistical problems will remain critical for weeks, even if regular port operations recommence right now. This, in combination with the major Baxter healthcare factory being destroying in western North Carolina, has also reportedly resulted in varying shortages of medical supplies around the country. So far, shortages are random and unpredictable (as is common now due to our national just-in-time logistical doctrine).Washington: This afternoon the Kitsap County Sheriff's office investigated an IED attack on a vehicle in Bremerton. An unknown individual emplaced an IED underneath a parked vehicle, which detonated as the vehicle owner approached it. No further information regarding the motive for this attack has been released.Southeast: Improvements are being made in some areas with regards to disaster response, and detrimental effects are being reported in others. Portable Cellular-on-Wheels (COW) arrays and donated Starlink dishes have been instrumental in remote areas obtaining contact with the outside world, and the work to restore electricity to the region has equally been very helpful. However, after almost a week of recovery efforts, much of the region still remains without power or cell service.As such, FEMA efforts have largely been absent completely or unhelpful so far. FEMA has required citizens (who don't have power or cell service) to fill out online forms to get aid. The White House has announced a one-time

The conversation concludes with a focus on the future of spine care, including the potential for motion preservation and arthroplasty. From complex deformity cases to the latest advancements in motion preservation, learn how their collaborative approach is pushing the boundaries of spine care.   In this episode, you'll learn: How motion-preserving techniques are being incorporated into complex spine and deformity procedures. The significance of restoring alignment and balance and preserving natural motion in spine surgery. The role of hybrid motion constructs and their long-term benefits for patients. The importance of understanding adjacent joints - the knees, hips, pelvis, and ankles, when treating spine conditions. The role of patient education in providing and scaling new treatment options.

For this episode I'm joined by Haydar of The Resistance Report which is a podcast that was launched after October 7th by a Palestinian news organization known as the Al Falasteniyeh Media Network or AFMN. In this discussion we talk to Haydar about AFMN, their approach, their media work including The Resistance Report, and their efforts to uplift the analyses of Palestinians from Palestine to those in the diaspora. We talk a little bit about their analysis of the resistance's position and of the unfolding genocidal depravity of the zionist occupation in Palestine. We talk about the suppression of AFMN as an outlet which has attempted to set up offices and develop correspondents in Gaza. We also get into a little bit of a discussion of episode four of theirs which is entitled Al-Araj's Echo, Guiding Modern Resistance, which highlights the life and contributions of Bassel al-Araj to the Palestinian Resistance. We encourage folks to check out there work for yourselves and if you like what they're doing support their work. We will include links to listen and support them in the show notes. And of course if you want to support our work we have a study group that starts next week, we'll come together at 7:30 PM ET on Thursday nights to discuss the Counterinsurgency Field Manual. If you become a patron of the show for as little as $1 a month you can join us for that study group or just contribute and make this show possible along with the work on our YouTube channel.  Now here is our interview with Haydar of The Resistance Report    

Given the recent events in Palestine, I thought it would be a good time to revisit this episode on Lebanon. We'll be back soon with new episodes. -- What does citizenship education look like in a country affected by armed conflict and economic crises?

Some of his research focuses on the ways in which teachers demonstrate their agency for curricular and pedagogical change through innovative approaches inside the classroom. Bassel Akar is Associate Professor of Education and Director of the Center for Applied Research in Education at Notre Dame University in Lebanon. Last year he published a book entitled Citizenship Education in conflict-affected areas: Lebanon and beyond. www.freshedpodcast.com/basselakar -- Get in touch!

Joined on this episode by none other than my brother Bassel Ibrahim, to talk about one bad tour. Thinking outside the box. How to have a playbook, but remain flexible. Resiliency and taking on challenges. How to deal with crew rotation, especially when it is for positive reasons. How to develop a bench, and the difference between qualified and certified... it was amazing discussions, and that does not even begin to touch on everything the audience threw at Bassel and he crushed in answering!

Le sujet : Investir, c'est engager une dépense dans le présent, en espérant obtenir un profit dans le futur. Plus ce profit est important par rapport à la dépense initiale, plus la rentabilité est élevée ! Mais, comment faire pour calculer la rentabilité attendue d'un investissement immobilier locatif ? Quels sont les critères à prendre en compte ? Est-il si intéressant d'emprunter pour financer un investissement ? L'invité du jour : En 2012, alors qu'il travaille dans une startup, Bassel Abedi se demande où peut-il placer son argent ? L'immobilier locatif lui paraissait être un investissement évident. Il s'y intéresse et détecte rapidement un problème : comment calculer la rentabilité prévisionnelle d'un investissement immobilier, afin de prendre la bonne décision ? Ni une, ni deux, il crée un tableau Excel, et c'est le début de sa nouvelle vocation pour l'investissement immobilier. En 2016, il fonde Horiz.io pour aider les investisseurs avec une simulation précise de la rentabilité prévisionnelle et une solution de pilotage de la gestion locative. Au micro de Matthieu Stefani, cofondateur de CosaVostra, Bassel partage ses connaissances et son expérience à propos de l'investissement immobilier. Il nous explique comment calculer la rentabilité attendue d'un bien locatif et faire en sorte de l'optimiser au maximum. ## Comment calculer le rendement d'un investissement immobilier locatif ? Il y a plusieurs types de rendement : Le premier est le rendement instantané. Le second correspond à l'enrichissement total de l'investisseur. ## Pourquoi et comment tenir compte du “coût de l'argent” dans le calcul de la rentabilité d'un investissement ? 100 000€ aujourd'hui valent peut-être plus que 100 000€ demain, car cet argent peut générer des intérêts s'il est placé ou investi dès aujourd'hui. Entrent alors en compte deux indicateurs de rentabilité financière très importants : La VAN (Valeur Actuelle Nette) Le TRI (Taux de Rendement Interne) ## Comment louer facilement et efficacement un bien locatif ? Bassel évoque la possibilité : D'offrir des prestations de qualité (meubles, équipements, etc.) : il existe aujourd'hui de nombreuses solutions pour équiper à moindre coût un appartement avec goût et qualité. Aussi, sur le long terme, ces achats devraient être largement rentabilisés. De louer moins cher que la concurrence : au lieu de mettre plusieurs semaines ou plusieurs mois à louer votre bien, vous trouverez plus rapidement des locataires. Avantages : Vous souhaitez calculer la rentabilité potentielle d'un projet d'investissement ? Bassel met à votre disposition un simulateur Excel gratuit.
