S. #Syria: this is a first. 2 Assad's Intelligence elements (State Security) were shot dead last night following an attack against their checkpoint in former Jaish Islam stronghold, Douma (E. #Ghouta). One of them is identified.
The 45th SF Regiment played a central role in the assault (called "liberation" by assadists). Led by Ghassan Afif & Muhammad Ma'arouf, the regiment then deployed to Jisr Shoughur. Ma'arouf met his fate in Latakia in 2014 (then commander of 48th Reg) & Afif in Abu Dhuhur in 2015

Shouldn't read too much into this. According to locals, group captured were Baggara militiamen from Nawaf Ragheb's group, captured as they were on their way to kidnap/attack some Busraya locals. Much more a local tribal dispute than some tribal uprising against the regime.

"All people displaced in the five Syrian provinces where US forces have fought since 2014" The Syria numbers alone should be enough for any serious person to discount this entire project as laughably unserious

@GregoryPWaters @VivaRevolt Adding this one to the archive! Thanks for sharing
Critically, this is not one of those problems that has no solution. There are obvious ways to help: namely massively supporting mental healthcare in Syria and neighboring countries.
@GregoryPWaters Loved the times of the street fights with Rebels ambushing Assadists out of nowhere. Some of the best videos ever made came out of that period.
I can’t stress enough how widely it is understood in DC’s foreign policy and security establishment that civilian suffering, death, and famine is part of Israel’s Gaza policy and yet so few will publicly say so because they fear for their careers. This is how corruption works.
@GregoryPWaters His time will come, sooner or later.
If your German friends or professional contacts are not talking about this nonstop, consider asking them why.
Within a week in Germany, Nancy Fraser was stripped off her professorship for signing a letter, Ghassan Abu Sitta was denied entry at the airport to give a lecture, and Helen Fares lost her journalist job for promoting non-violent boycott as a means of protest.
“Israel has been defeated - a total defeat. The war's aims won't be achieved, the hostages won't be returned through military pressure, security won't be restored and Israel's international ostracism won't end.” (Haaretz) Eviscerating Israeli assessment haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
#Syrian_Gulag A few minutes with the book turns the enquiry“why did the Syrian Revolution happen?”to“why didn’t it happen earlier?”and then immediately answers it: because Syrians knew that any dissent would lead to a fate worse than death @ugur_umit_ungor qunfuz.com/2024/04/11/syr…
@GregoryPWaters They're not going to #Idlib ... it's for #Aleppo countryside... we'll see them in a few days in their new place.
I'm gonna start sharing things from the Syrian archive again. Probably one video per day.
@GregoryPWaters a lot of people simply don't believe that anyone besides america has agency

@GregoryPWaters This greeting is for non-Muslims It means that ISIS explicitly considers these people infidels
Dangerous narratives: Israelis don't know what is going on in Gaza because their media don't say; Netanyahu is the problem; targeting is AI-driven; and so on. So who's filming all those snuff videos? Who are the masses watching, commenting, clamoring for more?
“Hamas is a terrorist organisation completely beyond the pale. What Hamas doesn’t do is claim to be anything else than what they are. The Israelis claim to be a civilised, western-facing armed force. They are plainly not" says former British army major Chris Lincoln-Jones
