    I tell him that in my conversations with members of the factions controlling Efrîn, they claim that there are "individual excesses" (while abuses are in fact daily & systematic). Abdullah agrees & amusingly responds: the abuses are "individual in a collective manner🦄"

    I send the responses of the HTS official over to "Abdullah", a smart HTS member, to get his opinion. His response "I feel like I'm living on a different planet. These words are completely untrue." I tell Abdullah this is natural, all factions deny abuses.

    Had a conversation with a senior HTS official about my article. He did not like as it states that while HTS changed its policies toward the intl system, its authoritarian conduct toward its subjects has not changed. Claimed they have empowered supervisory bodies to prevent abuses

    Following smart feedback from , I should clarify my assessment w/ regards to possibility of mass atrocities in Idlib. We can't be certain, but the greatest risk is for fighting-age males. Women & children among the 1.5 million displaced to Idlib face lesser risks.

    Within hours of Sisi’s meeting with Trump and using “political Islam” as a boogie man to scare Trump, Pompeo and co, the Egyptian security forces extrajudicially kill 6 members of the MB in Egypt today.

    Sisi, the favorite dictator of Trump, Israel, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

    Meeting Sisi on the sidelines of UNGA, Trump dismissed the protests: "Everybody has demonstrations... Egypt has a great leader, he's highly respected, he's brought order." Sisi, predictably, blamed the unrest on "political Islam."

    Wow. Trump told his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to hold back almost $400 million in military aid for Ukraine at least a week before a phone call in which Trump is said to have pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate Hunter Biden.

    The Trudeau government is essentially giving a pro-Assad apparatchik authority over affairs of thousands of Syrians settled in Canada, including members of brave rescue volunteers, the White Helmets, whom this guy and his government call terrorists for saving ppl from the rubble

    This is an utterly shameful capitulation to a regime that has slaughtered Syrians by the hundreds of thousands. Story by : Why did the Trudeau government approve Bashar Assad's man in Montreal? -

    In Dmeir, similarly to Daraa, many of those targeted for arrests are those who've defected from the Syrian Army during the uprising & later "reconciled" with the regime

    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…

    Trump's policy of Maximum Incoherence is working well.

    Reports from Baghdad's Green Zone suggest that two rockets have landed just outside the perimeter of the US Embassy. No known damage or casualties. Previous strikes of this nature have been blamed on Shia militias.
