    Jaish al-Islam gets to work in northern Syria. According to this report, the displaced group has purchased dozens of new vehicles, distributed salaries to fighters & named al-Qaeda, ISIS & the YPG as their enemies.

    And Saddam al-Jamal qualifies as an example. Always known as a thug, and went on to join ISIS. Another layer of the problem is that even those opportunists weren’t backed well enough to withstand erosive attacks from the jihadis.

    The 's Train & Equip program was destined to fail before it even started - it's restrictions & refusal to work with on-ground realities guaranteed relations only with corrupt, opportunists - like Abu Zayd.…

    A week after Iraqi authorities announced the capture of senior ISIS leaders, the main article of the latest al-Naba magazine is about members who get captured. Cites examples of how members were freed or tried to; reassures jailed members that the group would try to free them.

    Thus, RTE is ALWAYS careful to frame Olive Branch and Euphrates Shield as a counter-terror operation and, increasingly, as a means to remove Syrians from Turkey (refugees are unpopular, as well). Foreign policy success are housed in a separate basket, with high level visits

    Remember that despite the pro-Abadi narratives in Washington, Abadi actually gave everything to the PMFs or was easily steered/played by them. Several times, from the PMFs law, to Kirkuk, to the pre-election alliance etc.

    Why would the others align with Abadi is obvious the question. Why not Hadi al-Ameri. Other than the alternative of Abadi aligning with other factions or alienating all other countries, Fateh & SOL can still dominate the process with Abadi heavily dependent on them.

    It can be an easy job for Hajji Qassem, knowing that the US just wants Abadi staying on. All he needs to do is to tempt Abadi to align with Fateh and SOL. Everything else will come together.

    Great points by on how Abadi could end up winning a 2nd term, among other explored scenarios. I promise I’ve just read his thread, but we both agree on how Abadi has a unique position to be a kingmaker, despite his performance at the election

    Somewhat, the negotiation among Shia-dominated groups will be largely centered on winning Abadi over, although surprises are still possible in this very fragmented map, where some coalitions could be divided further & assuming Sadr-Fateh rapprochement is not…

    ISIS has chosen to stand and fight in an area with a recognized place in Islamic traditions, to differentiate itself from rival rebel groups, its media has been focusing on this fight quite a lot. This thread has more details:

    •ISIS released a video of its fighting in “Fustat al-Muslimeen” (Bastion of Muslims, i.e Ghouta) •Through it, it’s promoting itself as the force last standing against the regime …
