Thread 🧵: #AlJolani and #HTS

1/ Within grasp the character of Al-Jolani and Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), many skip straight from the beginning to conclusions, ignoring the four pivotal stages of the group’s evolution. 2/ Al-Jolani’s defining trait is pragmatism. He is now forced to present a positive model of governance, his project’s survival depends on it from the international community and the revolutionaries.

Thread: A concerning trend of revenge operations in #Syria 🧵

This thread provides context on what's unfolding on the ground, NO justification.

1/ For days now, there have been alarming reports of individual revenge actions targeting those directly involved in #Assad’s system. 2/ According to multiple sources, these incidents are not aimed at ordinary soldiers in the Assad army but at key criminals and informants responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians.

#DOA #SYRIA #MEDIA

1️⃣ I’ve noticed several European and American outlets framing the ongoing events in Syria as purely about “jihadist groups.” This Islamophobic narrative oversimplifies the reality on the ground.
Let’s break it down ⬇️🧵 2️⃣ Yes, HTS leads the battle today, and there is an Islamic character to their fighting. But this framing erases five other big military groups, including defected officers and soldiers from Assad’s army with extensive experience who originally joined the revolution for freedom.

To clarify the arming dynamics in the current battle: HTS operates large military manufacturing factories tailored to localized, close-range engagements on Syrian fronts.

‼️This 🧵 explains the need to better understanding of the map to avoid conspiracy theories or assumptions. These aren’t advanced weapons but rather mass-produced arms supplied by HTS Military Manufacturing Corporation, fueling the operations we see today.

Since early morning, Idlib has come under heavy fire from Assad forces and Iranian ground troops, supported by Russian aircraft. The death toll has already exceeded seven civilians.

Je quitte l’Ukraine pour rentrer en France après presque un mois passé ici lors de mon premier voyage de travail, et ce ne sera certainement pas le dernier. Alors que je m'apprête à partir, je sais déjà que ce pays va énormément me manquer.
#Ukraine 🇺🇦 L'Ukraine est un pays incroyable, avec une résilience et une gentillesse qui éclatent malgré le chaos que la Russie impose dans sa tentative de briser l'esprit de cette nation libre. Chaque personne que j'ai rencontrée m'a prouvé que la brutalité russe est vaine.
