    Some of the maps I published on Twitter so far. My maps cover the topics of conflicts and ethnicity in the MENA region with a special focus on the Kurdish struggle for freedom.

    Ilyas Aydin is also wanted in Turkey as the Turkey emir of ISIS. He said that he worked with Ilham Bali the ISIS emir of Al Bab to set up the Suruç bombing, which suggests that Ilham Bali was also a MIT asset.

    ISIS never claimed the suicide bombings against pro-HDP rallies during the 2015 election campaign and Aydin confirmed that Raqqa ISIS had nothing to do with it. Aydin's statements confirm suspicions that the Tayyip regime created its own ISIS specifically to kill Kurds.

    Exactly the reason why I believe that is the most promising party currently coming up across Europe. In a globalized world, movements for a social and sustainable civilization have to be internationally organized or the capital will find ways to keep them down.

    Maybe as explanation, if I continue the Efrîn crimes map I'll have to reorganize some approaches, maybe build up a team. And the university paper will be broadly about Neoliberalism in MENA and it's due on 20th of May. I won't publish it, but I have to do it anyway.

    Agreed. Pro- camp is looking to: • cultivate the malleability/ambivalence of some key actors in for the purpose of setting a tiny small footprint in the capital irrespective of the cost in terms of death & destruction there • single out as the main evil.

    Acc. to a pro-Turkish telegram channel, Turkish auxiliaries have retreated from all of the positions they've gained today due to "high number of mines". So yeah, possibly this could just be a PR stunt to distract from Idlib situation.

    The YPG has over three dozen casualties (wounded and killed) from bombing and shelling. Turkish death counts are too high right now.

    Coinciding with the strike of a Turkish observation post in Greater Idlib by SAA, Turkish auxiliaries claim to start an operation against YPG in Tall Rifa'at. Not sure if connected, but there is some serious escalation happening in northwestern Syria.

    Turkey's Jabal Shashabo observation post overlooking the Ghab plain appears to have been struck by Syrian regime artillery. Local civilians were gathering at this location as protection against recent bombardment. Significant…
