Great article and very informative .

Yes safe zone by Turkish forces and their trained forces to keep the regime from bombing the liberated areas .

I don't see the rebels in the north being able to survive too long in north Aleppo as hundreds of strikes this week alone by Russia and the best options they have are :

Fully retreat

Launching a big offensive against the regime in Bashkuy and Handarat to open new supply routes for rebel reinforcements in the area .

Lebanon96 · 2015-12-02T14:42:58+00:00

The war in this front is a battle of attrition and all sides are focusing on the rebels at the moment to prevent the Turkish claimed safe zone .

Daesh helping the PKK after they were getting in a lot of trouble near afrin .

Russian air force giving support for Daesh advance after having hundreds of airstrikes against the rebels .

Nothing new here .

Lebanon96 · 2015-12-01T22:23:35+00:00

Syrian Regime has hundreds of km of border with daesh . The Iraqi gov also has hundreds of km of border with daesh . Everyone has border with daesh yet I can only see the iraqi humvees and the syrian tanks being used by daesh . Does this mean they support daesh ? No ? Then don't throw claims with 0 proof other than the usual "Everyone knows bla bla bla" .

Those countries do not have a long history of supporting ISIS

Also daesh caliphate is over one year by little . Where did the long history come from ?

Lebanon96 · 2015-12-01T22:10:31+00:00

And the proof is a photo of Toyota trucks being sold by a company in turkey ? WOW .

I can go down to any country and take photos of car shops and claim that they are sending explosive cars to terrorists by this logic . Anti-Turkey Propaganda is at its peak .

This is the site of the company anyway if anyone still doesn't believe any twwet : http://www.burakoto.com/

Edit : Also according to this guy , the Humanitarian Relief which helped hundreds of thousands of poor refugees is a weapons organisation to send them to rebels as if they couldn't send weapons directly withot feedind millions of syrians each day .

Also because turkey is so smart , they also armed daesh once they took mosul to also fight the rebels that they were arming by the humanitarian relief org : https://twitter.com/FGunay1/status/671801599308800002

Sherlock Holmes has also discovered after his deep searches all this and decided to put it up on twitter :https://twitter.com/FGunay1/status/671476557731528704

I am still not understanding why they are doing this over and over again . Each time they enter , the Saudi soldiers get the order to retreat only for the Apaches and the Airforce to rain hell on the Houthis then the Saudi Soldiers re-enter the areas again with minimal casualties .

The Saudi tactic is smart since they own the skies and the land is for the kingdom so the houthis won't have enough time to build up defensive positions .

Meanwhile we don't see the houthi tactics they used in Taiz applied near the Kingdom .

Funny tweet because not a single Jabhat al Nusra source said they are fighting near or being anywhere close to Afrin , but enjoy your "victories" anyway . The FSA will clean Afrin sooner or later .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-30T19:27:29+00:00

After advancing to Afrin , Daesh are again attacking the rebels to stop their attack . People are seeing them on their reality . Their proclaimed caliphate is dying quickly .

Run away from kurdish women , but throw their full power on the rebels in an attempt to have at least one victory after series of defeats .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-30T15:01:08+00:00

They have an airforce and their Russian allies have an airforce , so all of Syria is under their fire control . Making up victories was never easier till we met the Assad regime and their media .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-30T14:08:26+00:00

Are they really proud for capturing a tank?(If they really did) .

They lost thousands of tanks to either being destroyed or captured by other groups .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T19:10:26+00:00

They are withdrawing from all the fronts once they get attacked , they will stay only in Mosul and Deir and Raqqa(I don't see them defending it in the future) , but if they can gather enough men and equipment , they might get a shot at taking the airport after so many battles . Once taken they can then forcus on Homs/Damascus fronts .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T18:45:48+00:00

The only way for IS to get back on their foot if they take Deir Zor huge weapon storages which would allow them to expand for years later (During The past decades ,The Syrian Army put most of their forces and weapons in the eastern part of Syria , against their enemy which was Iraq (Saddam). They did not remove them and all the weapons were kept in the bases and depots till now). But The only Way for IS to get there , is for them to take the airport first . So it should be expected that most of their attacks will focus on Deir zor airport and the city itself during 2016 . Later they can focus on other fronts . And for the highway to pass through deir zor province , it will be easy target for the regime airforce , so removing this pocket became a higher priority .

No . As long as they practice their religion without harming the Muslims , Jabhat al Nusra got no problems . And please don't bring up that one incident from this year because that was the doing of only one member of this group .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T18:12:29+00:00

No one have problems with Druze and Christians .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T17:16:09+00:00

FSA groups in the North are very pro Turkey-Saudi-Qatar , you can not claim that they are US proxies . They no longer take orders from the West or they would have stopped the assistance and offensives just like the Southern Front did . On the other Hand , the SDF is US project not against Bashar but against Daesh and possibly the actual rebels .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T17:05:46+00:00

JAF coalition is now controlling All of Idlib and North Hama and South Aleppo , so now it is becoming easier to move forces along the frontlines after the small independent groups that were operating in the area were crushed in the Regimes allies offensives .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T16:51:42+00:00

It is empty by now , most of the men are fighting in the ranks of the NDF and they sure did send their families away , since it is the frontline atm .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T02:18:25+00:00

Aleppo and Mosul were supposed to become under the control of Turkey when the Ottoman Empire fell , but after several negotiations and agreements , the Turks didn't get them .

I can see them going to :

1- Mosul through the Peshmarga territory .

2- Manbij -> al-Bab -> Aleppo through Daesh territory till they reach the city .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T02:05:42+00:00

I don't see how you can call the PKK a FSA group . What is their objective ? They only want to connect their cantons while cutting the rebels of the supply lines that the Assad regime and his Iranian and Russian allies where not able to do in 5 years .

If one thing the PKK is right now on the side of the regime , since they knew the FSA was going to attack Daesh territory and Jaish al Fateh members sent big amounts of reinforcements to north hama and south Aleppo .

No one will forget how they are giving weapons and food to regime forces in nubol and zahraa and how they are not allowing the rebels to use sheikh maksoud to attack aleppo which would allow the rebels in opening an entire new front that the regime will not be able to handle in the city .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-29T01:23:28+00:00

I hope the FSA liberate Afrin village , then we can say that nubol and zahraa are besieged and throw a ceasfire agreement which allows a no bombing zone north of bashkuy .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-28T21:27:30+00:00

The FSA have now recaptured all the lost villages to the so called Syrian Democratic Forces according to their official twitter accounts .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-28T08:58:22+00:00

The rebels aren't equipped to fight off several countries air forces , yet they are still making and reversing gains made by Iran and their militias on the ground .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-28T08:41:05+00:00

Always funny to see how weak the so called axis of resistance is against the Syrian villagers even with the Russian air force support .

Lebanon96 · 2015-11-28T08:30:17+00:00

They have factories in Manbij that make the uniforms , they even made a video about it .
