#BreakingNews:
The first busses carrying hundreds of "Jaish al-Islam" and members of their families are leaving NOW #Duma. The beginning of clearing #Damascus. #Syria.
626 "Jaish al-Islam" militants/families have left #Ghouta towards #Aleppo - #Jarablus . The evacuation is slow because the Syrian Army wants to make sure the 100s of millions (JAL requested to take away $900 m but the request was rejected) r not taken away
Jaish al-Islam is expected to join the fight against #AQ & other Jihadists under #Turkey flag in the city and rural #Idlib where #Ankara is planning to eliminate those who don't obey its agenda. #Russia threatened #Idlib if #AQ remain in it, strong.
#SaudiArabia sold out Jaish al-Islam proxies: a lesson for every #Syrian fighting for foreign forces, mainly in the south of #Syria under #Israel's protection and the north under #USA and #Turkey occupation forces. These are wood for superpower's interest
The "regime change" policy has fallen. Large finance were invested top destroy #Syria and #Iraq and today we are back to square one with millions refugees and IDP, hundreds of thousands killed and more wounded, over $500 bn losses & it is still not over.
The #Turkish and #USA presence north of #Syria makes no sense but to prolong the tension in this part of the Levant. #Jihadists #ISIS and #AQ failed to reach their objectives and were over used by players.
Another unfortunate issue came out of the #Syrian war: the journalism credibility is at its lowest level ever. Manipulation of information, covering the war from afar and following the "media's policy" have been devastating on all journalists' reputation.
Now superpower countries r directly involved & their struggle for dominance is no longer through proxies as in #Syria:
As a retaliation against taxes approved by Trump on imported steel & aluminium, China announces it's new tariffs on 128 US products

#Russia, #USA #China r in the battlefield overtly. #Israel is out but will try to say from time to time:"He! I am still here". Fight for energy & finance is open. #USA has no serious chances (can make a lot of noise) in front of China & Russia's coalition.

Ex-Nusra (#AQ rebranded HTS) walked into its own death by taking a large territory in #Idlib and its surrounding. The defeat of large groups like Ahrar and Souqourv al-Sham (who showed little resistance) and the elimination of Zinki group will have deadly consequences on AQ.+
No doubt #Turkey asked Ahrar et al to stand down & avoid fighting (for now). It means #Ankara would be happy to see the end of its presence in #Idlib on the long term. For this, Erdogan needs to see a very large battle taking place first in the north between these groups and #AQ
Erdogan & Putin will have a meeting soon to discuss the #Kurds and #AQ in #Idlib. I expect hot spring in Idlib and a large offensive against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Abu Mohammad al Joulani's ambition (from ex-ISIS emir to AQ Emir to ruler of Idlib) is helping to end this phenomena.

I can only see positiveness in the expansion of al-Qaeda in #Syria. The more cities and villages it controls, the faster it will lose.

#AQ in Syria is trying to earn the heart and minds of the locals but it is trying to full up their pockets. This group has learned nothing.
Today I am very confident & much more positive that #Turkey will not occupy north of #Syria and will not stay in the territory it occupies today for ever.

@RT_Erdogan is confirming his strategic relationship with #Russia & #Iran is more precious than #USA
#AQ was planning long ago to expand its control. #Turkey rejected Joulani's wishes for very long. By accepting or closing an eye on the ex-#ISIS Emir, i.e. Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, #Turkey has found the best way to liberate itself from al-Qaeda's burden.

Hay'yan, Anadan & Haritan under Jihadists of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham Led by Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, the ex #ISIS officer, the ex-al Qaeda in the Levant and the actual leader of a large number of foreign fighters.

Joulani is taking position opposite #SAA.

Rural and the city of #Idlib, the rural area of #idlib, #Aleppo & #Hama are under Jihadists control. Is it time for the Syrian army, supported by #Russia to stop the jihadists advance if #Turkey is incapable of doing the job it has promised at #Astana?

#Turkey is embarrassed by Jihadists overwhelming control of most of the #Astana area of control. Joulani is forcing his place on #Ankara unless the Turkish army moves in to defeat him, or to steps aside and allows the #Syrian army to do the job.

Syrian Government giving Syrian citizenship to 2 million non-Syrian people.
Its including Iranian soldiers, Hezbollah militants and all other pro #Iran militia group members and their families from #Afganistan #Iraq #Iran #Pakistan
It will increase tensions between secular Arabs and religious shia people. If you remember in last 3 year, some clashes happened between Syrian security forces and shia militas.
And government banned shia and sunni religious rituals in open areas.

Also past month Syrian Government started to planning ignore land registers of millions of Syrian refugees.
