    True, but also imagine being a Syrian who survived a gas attack by the regime and then learning that the president advised by Ben Rhodes has decided not to enforce his "red line"...

    Imagine being a protester in Hong Kong who has friends who’ve been beaten and tear gassed and this is what the President of the United States is saying.

    Par ailleurs, Ahrar al-Sham est alors en conflit larvé avec HTS suite à des accrochages survenus en janvier. En juillet suivant, le conflit larvé fera place à une guerre ouverte.

    Sur le fond : les faits reprochés à la condamnée se déroulent en mars 2017. A cette époque les cadres les plus radicaux d'Ahrar al-Sham ont rejoint l'ex-Front al-Nusra pour former Hay'a Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

    Le tribunal a considéré que le groupe rejoint par l'intéressée (Ahrar al-Cham), bien que ne figurant pas sur les listes internationales d'organisations terroristes, avait des "liens opérationnels avec Al-Qaida" et peut donc être qualifié de groupe terroriste en droit français.

    Tareq Abdul Hakim Kiwan previously defected from the Syrian Army, but stayed in Tafas, Daraa, after the regime reconquered the area in 2018. He went to Damascus 9 months ago to "settle his status" ("reconcile" w/ the regime). He was arrested & tortured to death.

    I can’t get over how normal this news is now. There are dozens of entire families buried under the rubble, Assad & Russia bombarding heavily populated civilian areas is the norm now. Crime is normal. Unbelievable. 8 years of this- daily.

    than 15 martyrs and dozens of wounded and 5 families are still under the rubble as a result of the targeting of the Russian occupier of the city of Maarat al-Nu'man
