#Syria & #Iraq resistance sent 5 armed drones message to the #US occupation forces to leave. An indication that:
Resistance forces r needed against occupation forces so states can deny any involvement and avoid consequences
US can't continue occupying the area & be unaccountable.
A dormitory, a Kitchen, a food storage house were targeted and destroyed by the drones to avoid casualties, indicating the attack was only a message to the #US occupation forces on the borders off #Syria and #Iraq.
The surrounding of the #US base at al-Tanf was also hit by precision missiles to show that a high number of casualties among the #US occupation forces could have been registered if the intention was 'hit to kill'.
The last #US - #Israel attack against the Syrian allies in #Syria took away all redlines. The allies of Syria are no longer involved in defending Syria but now they have decided to be involved in responding against the #US occupation forces.
The allies of #Syria are also sending a message to #Israel that there last warning is effective NOW. This means it is highly probable to see a response to any future #Israel/I aggression on Syria.
And last: The drones-missiles attack against the #US occupation forces indicate that #Syria is recovering and in control more than ever, ready for a new confrontation like the one taking place in #Iraq against the US forces.

#US carried out a drone strike claiming "to have killed ISIS-Khorasan planner in eastern #Afghanistan." US also claim that this "planner was planning another attack". Unclear how US knew about this "planner" and identified him in less than 48 hours. No independent confirmation.
The #US is also claiming that this #ISIS-K was under surveillance before the attack.
Now, if he was under surveillance and known, why he was allowed to plan and carry out the attack? A failure in intelligence if, and a big IF, the information is correct?
The #Taliban offered another story saying: "A drone hit a house (not a vehicle like the #US is claiming) in Jalal Abad", without providing further information. #Afghanistan.
The number of victims at #Kabul attack rose to 90 of which 77 Afghans, among these children and women. Only 13 #US soldiers were killed. 150 were wounded. #Afghanistan.
Islamic State in Afghanistan calls itself the "Khorasan Welayat" (ISIS-K) claimed the responsibility: one suicide bomber got within 5 meters’ of #US troops, careless about the #Afghan civilians, always considered by ISIS-K as "collateral damage".
7 hours ago I warned of suicide attacks and hours later 40 people were killed and 125 wounded by what seems to be a suicide attack today at #Kabul airport where thousands of people gathered to leave the city.
It was expected because #ISIS wanted to register a big event and allow the media to talk about it. This is not bad because now the #Taliban will be hunting down merciless the "Islamic State" in Khorasan. Many Afghans were killed in the attack.
This is not a #Taliban's failure coz the group did not have the time to control the city that is still chaotic following the sudden #US evacuation. However, suicide attacks can be foiled only with counter-intelligence work. Neighbouring countries are coming forward to help.
The #Taliban are not angels. However, be aware of suicide attacks, assassinations et al because the "Islamic State" #ISIS and the CIA are the two sides who benefit the most in destabilising #Afghanistan. /+
#ISIS management of savagery teaches the Takfiri group to push the society towards chaos. #Afghanistan is a very fertile ground for Chaos because the #Taliban didn't expect to control the country in such a short time. /+
Also, #ISIS considers the #Taliban as enemies to be eliminated, and vice versa. Therefore, now that the Taliban is in power, it is in ISIS's benefit to destabilise a non-stable state that lived for 40 years at war, is poor, corrupted, and lacks serious infrastructure. /+
A reminder:
On 26 Spt 2017, #SaudiArabia King Salman, the West best ally, issued an order to allow women to drive, with new guidelines to be created & implemented by June 2018. For four decades, no western country condemned Saudi for #WomenRights violation.
Elections in Saudi Arabia have been historically rare. Municipal elections were held in 2005 planned for 2009. After 2 years' delay, they were held in 2011. In Sept 2011 King Abdullah granted women the right to vote & stand in the 2015 municipal elections. #Taliban#Afghanistan
In June 2021, Saudi Arabia started allowing women to live alone without permission from a male guardian. This came as a development of an earlier ruling that affirmed the legality of the independence of an adult woman in a separate house. #Taliban#afghanistanwomen
#Afghanistan#Taliban commander Ghulam Ruhani shocked the #US: From Guantanamo Bay to the Presidential Palace in #Kabul. He claimed to be a "shopkeeper" and was released after 6 years in prison and was released by the Americans.
Calm returned to #Kabul, shops r open & @NATO commanders r coordinating with #Taliban to evacuate their nationals and keep control of the airport. This is a good start for Afghanistan but too early to conclude. It is certain that the Taliban 2021 is no longer the one in the 1990s
