    This was the first time that HTS/Nusra/AQ admitted the killing of 700 of its fighters in one go, by the Russians and the regime. That’s a huge number for any group — at least 7% of the group’s manpower.

    An interesting video of HTS/Nusra’s offensive to abort the Railway deal at Astana a year ago. The video shows how things changed re regime’s ability to repel such attacks (read, Russia). Attack made no progress & HTS lost *700* of its best fighters (Iranians, Uzbek, Chechens etc)

    Raed Fares and his work represented a rare sliver of hope in a war that has destroyed so much. Today in Syria’s Idlib province, gunmen followed and killed him.

    Thread 👇 It’s one thing to associate oneself with autocratic regimes, quite another to do so & then do their bidding for them, especially when it comes to curbing freedom of expression & actively promoting arguments the autocrats use to clamp down on democratic opposition.

    Academic institutions partnering with the UAE or sending students there should think carefully about the implications of its detention of PhD student Matt Hedges for alleged spying. Can you guarantee their safety?

    As if the Khashoggi episode, and the environment that preceded it, didn’t teach those countries anything.

    This travesty of justice puts the UAE squarely in the ranks of the most severe violators of academic freedoms and human rights. Students, stay away from the UAE.

    Important thread:

    Academic institutions accepting money from the UAE should think carefully about whether they wish to be financially beholden to a country which imprisons a PhD student in this way.

    This statement is essentially Saudi propaganda coming out of the mouth of the president of the United States. I've never seen anything like it.
