    Actually nothing new. Everyone has to obey to the YPG/PKK rules. All who don't obey are enemies, fascists, totalitarians etc. In reality, the YPG/PKK is just a Kurdish, marxists version of Baathists.

    A statement by the U.S-backed has labelled leaders “liars” whose refusal to accept the ’s ideological curriculum means they’re pushing “Baathist totalitarian thought.”…

    Interestingly, it was the islamists factions like Jaysh al Islam & Ahrar al Sham over the past 2-3 years who tried to combat Nusra/HTS, but most FSA factions didn’t support those attempts. In Ghouta Feylaq ur Rahman, in Idlib Feylaq us Sham & Free Idlib Army

    Over the past 7 years, it was never the right time for the Syrian opposition to go after Nusra/HTS. Nusra/HTS managed to build a hostage situation. However they are one of the main reasons why rebels lost the war.

    Rebels are building many defensive fortifications in Idlib. Building fortifications needs manpower and its just illogical that rebels don't use woman & forced conscription and resist to use volunteer men only:

    Turkish-trained National Army units are preparing to send reinforcements to the Turkmen Mountains in Latakia, the Ghab plains and other areas in Idlib. via As I wrote in my article, Turkey can make the entire Idlib campaign very costly:

    U.S. offered Assad to leave Syria if Iran withdraws from south, report says. Its not without a reason that YPG doesn't trust their patron as much as they did in 2017 and try to negotiate an agreement with the Assad regime without the attendance of the US

    Thanks for translating a summary of my latest paper into Turkish. The paper examines how different actors in Syria are dealing with former ISIS members, scrutinises the priorities shaping their actions, and the challenges they are facing in doing so.
