I remember how in 2014 I watched from nearby how ISIS advanced to Kobani. First they were far then closer then I could see ISIS fighters running.

Nobody knew what the outcome would be.

But after long fight &big losses, world celebrates today territorial defeat of ISIS.

@akhbar
SDF says they lost 11 thousand fighters in the battle to destroy the physical caliphate of ISIS.

Never forget also all the civilians who died and all those who are still missing.

@akhbar
On a day like this, it's necessary to remember those who fought ISIS & paid the ultimate price.

Here a powerful pic (don't know who took it) of The Martyrs' Cemetery in Kobani.

Zain's yearly Ramadan advertisement is truly powerful this year.

"Let us be like trees; different in form, leaves and branches, yet embraced in our roots."

A msg of tolerance between Muslims & Christians.

Zain is big telecommunication company in ME.

1st part of ad:

@akhbar
As Zain's Ramadan advertisement this year is over 4 minutes long, it doesn't fit on Twitter.

So above tweet you can see the first part and here is the second part of the ad.

Realize that this will be seen by millions in the region.
This annoys me. Whatever I tweet from MidEast - terrorism news, bad news, good news, funny news - some followers just want to blame Muslims for everything.

So in case you're interested in developments in MidEast, do follow me. If you only want to bash Muslims, please unfollow.

1/ Among young Arabs, old media is dying, new media sharply rising.

90% uses social media daily, 89% (!) gets news from FB/online. 34% from TV and only 4% (!) from newspapers.

New findings from @ArabYouthSurvey on trends among young Arabs.

#IChooseAAA @akhbar
2/ More young Arabs get their daily news on Facebook or online portals than TV news channels. 👇

#ArabYouthSurvey
3/ With extremism and sectarian tension plaguing the region, Young Arabs say religion plays too big of a role in the Middle East & religious institutions need to be reformed.

1/ A summary about Baghdadi speech and main points he talks about:

"The battle of Islam and its people with the battle of the Cross and its people is a long one. The battle of Baghouz is over and in it we saw the barbarity and monstrousness of the nation (ummah) of the cross"
2/ Baghdadi mentions by name some fighters, commanders and "knights of the media" who died in Baghouz. They come from different nationalities emphasising the international appeal of ISIS.

@akhbar
3/ Names mentioned specifically by Baghdadi are the following:

- Abu Abdul Rahman al 3angari al Tamemi (Saudi). He led battle of Baghouz first. After his death, Abu Hajar Abdul al Samad al Iraqi al Talibi took over. Followed by Abu al Waleed al Sinawi (from Sinai).

Thread , Very interesting report:
#ISIS Ambassador in #Ankara !!!
by @AnneSpeckhard
1/ Abu Mansour, an electrical engineer from #Morocco, came to #Syria in 2013. He traveled from Casablanca, Morocco, to Istanbul, Turkey, and through the southern border of Turkey into Syria. His first stop was Idlib, Syria, just as hostilities between al Nusra and ISIS had begun.
2/ Abu Mansour ended up on the ISIS side of that rift and was assigned by ISIS the job of an intake official on the Syrian side of the Turkish border. His job was to receive the steady flow of foreign fighters streaming into ISIS via #Turkey.

(THREAD) #Nigeria: In this thread I will be posting all #ISWAP attack claims and everything connected to Nigerian Army's fight against the terrorists in northeastern part of the country. It will be better to have everything in one place. Stay tuned.
Here is part of my work about #ISIS in December. The number of ISWAP attacks reported by their media has doubled compared to November:
The map of #ISWAP control in Borno. The situation has changed since - Baga, Cross Kauwa and Kukawa have been recaptured by Nigerian Army:

1. And now I'm going to tell a story. Another false flag. This time is to force @POTUS not to take the US army out of #Syria.
They already have a lot of experience (8 years) to make chemical attacks to accuse the Syrian government.
OH, and they even have a manual.🧐😲🤨
@RandPaul
2. ISIS terrorist? 😲Seriously?🤨 Have they investigated? 🤓And they already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

Preliminary reports say at least six people were killed & 19 injured by the explosion. US official: 4 US army Killed & 3 US army wounded.

3. ISIS took responsability?😲Seriously?🤨Have they investigated?🤓They already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) took responsibility for the attack that reportedly targeted the US-led coalition’s patrol.

Tonight, the 1st of my 2-part series on #ISIS’s resurgence in Iraq airs on @PBS @NewsHour Weekend. In cooperation w/ @theIFUND, I spent 3 weeks traveling across 3 provinces to investigate the extent to which ISIS has regrouped after its official defeat last year.
In August, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi released a new audio recording in which he pointed to #Iraq as the epicenter of #ISIS's resurgence. The facts on the ground suggest that this is not just an ambition the group aspires to in the future - it’s already a reality.
ISIS attacks in the rural areas around Tuz Khurmatu, Kirkuk and Hawija aren’t an exception - they’ve become an almost daily occurrence for the civilians who live there. What’s more - #Iraq’s security forces appear ill-equipped to face #ISIS in its insurgent form.

DEVELOPING: #ISIS force strength now may be close to its peak in 2015.
As of June 2018, estimated 28,600 to 31,600 #Daesh fighters in #Iraq #Syria per IG report

US intelligence estimates had 33,000 #ISIS fighters at group's peak in 2015

h/t @nickglavin
The same report says there are about 200 #ISIS fighters in #Philippines

media.defense.gov/2018/Aug/07/20…
#ISIS caliphate gone but it's foot soldiers remain-as many as 32,000 #Daesh in #Iraq #Syria per latest @DeptofDefense intel

At its peak US intel officials said ISIS boasted about 33,000 fighters

Per this @nakashimae/@missy_ryan story on the American #ISIS fighters being transferred stateside to be tried in civilian court, it’s not just that sending them to the #GTMO military commissions would be stupid; there’s also no legal authority to do so.

washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Under the Military Commissions Act, only an “alien unprivileged enemy belligerent” can be tried by the #GTMO tribunals:

law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…
US citizens can still theoretically be tried by military commission under World War II-era precedents, but (1) only for international war crimes; and (2) under different authority than the #GTMO commissions:
