#Syria: incredible scenes from the city of #Suwayda today as protesters have stormed the governorate office, setting fire to several regime vehicles and tearing down #Assad portraits
#Syria: this is what happened when regime forces tried to break up the on-going protest in the center of #Suwayda.
#Syria: regime forces eventually opened fire on the crowd in #Suwayda, killing at least one protester.

These videos are very reminiscent of 2011.

#Syria's regime appears to be facing a sharp increase in public criticism from across its population - people are exasperated at rife corruption & incompetence.

In lieu of this, secret police have been behind a spate of arrests targeting prominent critics, many of them #Alawite.
#pt: While some observers in the West [inaccurately] attribute #Syria's deep economic crisis to sanctions, #Assad's "loyalist critics" don't appear to be convinced -- they've been laying the blame squarely at the regime & parliament's doorsteps.

i.e. the propaganda is faltering.
#pt: No matter where you look in #Assad-held areas, the regime is clearly unable to provide, govern, secure or stabilize.

For the many Syrians who've stood by the regime since '11, their sacrificed 'blood & treasure' appear to have been merely for Bashar -- no reciprocal award.

#Syria: for two days now people in the southern province of #Suwayda are out to protest against the #Assad regime. @suwayda24 has translated some of the chants made by the protesters
#Syria: Syrians in Druze-majority #Suwayda chant "Oh Idlib, we are with you until death! Oh Daraa, we are with you until death".

Cross-sectarian solidarity is a nightmare for the regime
#Syria: protesters in #Suwayda chant in in honor of the memory of Abdel Basset Sarout, the former goalkeeper who joined the rebellion became an icon of the #SyrianRevolution

Reports tonight suggest #ISIS has captured the town of al-Kawm (north of al-Sukhna, in #Syria's #Badiya) from the #Assad regime.

A number of #ISIS operations have been reported around Kobajeb, al-Shula & NE of al-Sukhna in recent weeks.
#pt: Amid #ISIS's reported capture of al-Kawm today, #ISIS has also been linked to at least 2 major assaults on pro-#Assad positions outside al-Sukhna in the last 3 days - some say totaling 30+ pro-regime fatalities.

#Syria
#pt: Reports coming from pro-#Assad sources say "2 battalions" of the #SAA's 18th Reserve were besieged by #ISIS in al-Kawm several days ago.

Only today was the siege lifted amid a counter-attack by Liwa al-Quds.

After almost 5 years of fight, #ISIS "caliphate" has been eliminated from de map. Many actors have contributed in the liberation of an 300000 Km^2 zone between Syria & Irak : (1) Image

- #SAA : 81950 Km^2 (28 %) [#RuAF, #IRGC & #PMU]
- #SDF : 44054 Km^2 (15 %) [#Coalition]

With the end of #ISIS "caliphate" the terrorist fight enter in a new phase in #Syria.
After loose control of the villages & towns militants will increase their presence as sleeper cells around the country as we see in #Irak. Nowadays many areas still have #ISIS presence: (3)

The #SDF's proclamation of victory today against #ISIS's territorial Caliphate is a momentous occasion worthy of genuine celebration.

What was once a territory the size of the UK is now zero. That's no small accomplishment.

The #SDF lost 11,000 killed & 21,000 wounded.
#pt: After #ISIS's capture of #Mosul, its march south in #Iraq, expansion in #Syria & genocidal threats against #Yazidis in #Sinjar & #Kurds in #Kobani, the US mobilized the largest military coalition in modern history; 79 members.

Due in large part of @brett_mcgurk's hard work.
@brett_mcgurk #pt: As the #SDF has made clear, however, the counter-#ISIS mission must now shift to a new mission - the struggle is far from over.

The now-completed "clear" phase was the easy bit; the "hold" & "build" represents the huge challenge ahead, but our commitment is now in question.
