The Battle between ISIS & Syria’s Rebel Militias / By JOSHUA LANDIS et.al.
by Joshua Landis (with invaluable help from A.J.N) – For Syria Comment, January 4, 2014
A major confrontation has broken out between the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Syria’s other rebel militias. It is being led by two newly organized coalitions, called Jaysh al Mujahidiin and the Front of Syrian Revolutionaries. But many other militias have also declared war on ISIS, insisting that it must abandon its attempt to establish a state and that its fighters must either integrate into Syria’s other militias or quite the country altogether. Fighting between Free Syria Army militias and ISIS has been widespread in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib.
Syrien: Radikale Islamisten stellen an andere Rebellen Ultimatum
STIMME RUSSLANDS – 5.1.2014 – Die mit al-Qaida verbundene Bewegung „Islamischer Staat im Irak und der Levante“, die bei Zusammenstößen mit anderen Gruppierungen große Verluste erlitt, hat Feuereinstellung verlangt. Einem Vertreter der Islamisten zufolge wird die Bewegung Aleppo vor Regierungstruppen nicht mehr schützen, falls die Attacken gegen sie innerhalb von 24 Stunden nicht aufhören.
STALINESKER JOURNALISMUS
Junge welt – Berlin – 04.01.2014 / Ausland / Seite 1 – Behörden decken Schmuggler
Türkei: Waffen für Aufständische in Syrien entdeckt. Polizisten suspendiert
Die Behörden der Türkei versuchen offenbar, die Entdeckung von Waffenschmuggel für die Aufständischen in Syrien zu verhindern.
….. was die „Türkischen Behörden decken“ verdeckt die stalinistische Lumpenjournaille „junge welt“ schon seit langem: Transporteur und LKW Besitzer dieser Waffenlieferungen war ihr Gaza-Schiff-Mavi-Marmara-Partner Bülent Yildirim (IHH). Ein hardcore Islamist, mit dem zusammen damals Norman Paech, Grothe, Höger ua. von der Linkspartei in See stachen, um sich zu blamieren.
Das Verschweigen und verdecken ist um so plausibler, weil im Zeichen der Kampagne „1o Euro für den Irakischen Widerstand“ 2005 in der jungen welt Spenden für die heutigen ISIS-Kräfte im Irak gesammelt wurden. (MESOP)
