Chinese Uyghur terrorists establishing base in Syria A new article reported that 3,500 Uyghurs are settling in a village near Jisr-al Shagour that was just taken from Assad, close to the stronghold of Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) that is in the Turkey-backed Army of Conquest. They are allegedly under the supervision of Turkish intelligence that has been accused of supplying fake passports to recruit Chinese Uyghurs to wage jihad in Syria.

The news comes on the heels of TIP capturing a Syrian airbase and acquiring MIG fighter jets as well as other advanced weaponry, similar to ISIS capturing Iraqi army’s advanced US weaponry.

Syria opposition express scepticism towards UN-backed peace plan

The US and Russian initiative, unanimously approved by the UN Security Council on Friday, foresees talks between the rebels and the government and a rapid ceasefire, perhaps even next month. But the man Syrian opposition grouping, the Istanbul-based National Coalition, described the plan as unrealistic. The resolution "undermines the outcome of the meetings of revolutionary forces in Riyadh and waters down previous UN resolutions concerning a political solution in Syria," coalition head Khaled Khoja said on Twitter. Fellow coalition member Samir Nashar said bombings conducted by the government and Russia must stop for there to be a sustainable ceasefire, otherwise "the agreement is absolutely not applicable".

One thing is clear: this took place at a time that the Russian S400 is in full operation. #1. Samir Kuntar is hardly such a critical target for Israel that it would employ techniques for engaging in operations within an active S-400 envelope as any such operations would be studied in order to improve the S-400 so that a repeat of the same technique would fail. #2.

The commander, Samir Kuntar, was freed as part of an exchange that returned the bodies of two soldiers to . He had served nearly three decades in prison for his role in the 1979 killings of a police officer, a civilian and his daughter in an Israeli coastal town near the Lebanese border. The civilian’s wife accidentally smothered their other daughter while trying to quiet her.

Little attention has been paid to tensions increasing between Arabs and Kurds due the impact of foreign influence on the local dynamics of the conflict in Syria.

The emerging conflict between Arabs and Kurds in Syria

Even the recent clashes that broke out between a number of Arab and Kurdish groups in Aleppo Governorate were not given enough coverage, as they are perceived to be less important than ISIS-related news. The danger being ignored here is not only related to another fight that will most likely break out again soon, but also the possibility of the conflict becoming an ethnic one, not only between armed groups but also between communities.

Homs residents' choice: Life as refugees or prisoners in own homes. Hours before the buses arrived on Wednesday to evacuate residents from Waer, the last rebel-held district in Homs, many trapped there by government forces were still debating whether to stay or to go.

Homs residents' choice: Life as refugees or prisoners in own homes

To remain would be to stay without any protection from rebel fighters, 2,000 of whom are expected to leave the stronghold after two years of negotiations with the Syrian government. The UN, too, can’t guarantee the residents’ safety because it does not have a mandate to provide the required protection, nor can it monitor ceasefire agreements, said Rim Turkmani, a senior research fellow at the London School of Economic's Department of International Development, who said she spoke to residents on Tuesday.

Since September 30, nearly 23 hospitals and health facilities were targeted by Russian and Assad forces airstrikes. “We urge human rights organizations to act and expose the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Assad and Russia and to prosecute those responsible before international justice,” the Syrian Coalition said in a statement released today. Syrian opposition seeks transitional set-up minus Assad. The Syrian opposition groups meeting in Saudi Arabia want to agree on a transitional government in the country that does not include current President Bashar al-Assad, according to Syrian National Coalition (SNC) official Monzer Makhous.

Syrian opposition seeks transitional set-up minus Assad

The two-day, closed-door talks, are seen as the most serious effort yet to unify the opposition, a step considered vital to peace talks sought by world powers but which has angered Iran. The talks, held at a heavily secured luxury hotel in Riyadh, are chaired by Abdulaziz Sager, a Saudi who heads the independent Gulf Research Centre in Geneva. Opposition figures say Saudi Arabia initially invited about 65 participants, 15 of them from armed groups but disagreement over the Assad's role in the new government was a major stumbling block ahead of the meeting. The SNC, headed by Khaled Khoja, aims to replace Syria's current leadership with a transitional government after achieving international recognition. Much ado about Muslim refugees. Doha, Qatar - As tens of thousands of people try to flee war and strife in large expanses of Asia and Africa every month, one question unblinkingly stares policymakers and the global commentariat in the face: Should the US, Europe and wealthy Gulf Arab states open the door to increased immigration from Syria and other war-scarred Muslim-majority countries?

Up until October, the case for taking in more refugees and asylum seekers from regions as far apart as Libya and Afghanistan seemed to be an open-and-shut one, at least as far as those on the left of the political spectrum are concerned.

This came mere hours after UK lawmakers voted in favor of bombing IS targets, after a 10-hour debate. The British decision to intervene may be politically significant, but militarily it’s expected to have no more than a marginal effect. 10 Reasons Why the UK Bombing Syria Is a Mistake. After 397 members of parliament voted in support of airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday, British Tornado jets launched their first wave of bombing raids on ISIS targets hours after the motion was passed.

Commenting on the parliamentary vote itself, several observers have noted how the terrorist attacks in Paris and the ensuing emotional reactions to the news across Britain derailed what should have been a reasoned debate in the House of Commons. Here are 10 reasons why I think British airstrikes in Syria was the incorrect strategy to embrace, and one which could have far reaching implications for Britain domestically. 1. Beyond the military jargon: who will monitor airstrikes in Syria? As the UK joins the air war on Islamic State in Syria, the government will be updating the public on its version of events, detailing what it believes has been hit. But a more nuanced picture may emerge from other entities equally interested in what is happening on the ground.

Guido Olimpio - Photos du journal. Guido Olimpio - Yossi Melman, noto giornalista israeliano... Syrian troops could be used to help fight Isis, France's foreign minister says. Troops loyal to Bashar al-Assad could be used to fight Islamic State, but only in the framework of a political transition without the Syrian president, France’s foreign minister has said. The remarks by Laurent Fabius underscore the deep faultline between the west and Russia as François Hollande, the French president, seeks to forge a common front against Isis after the atrocities in Paris that killed 130 people. “Troops on the ground cannot be ours, but [there can be] Syrian soldiers from the Free Syrian Army, Sunni Arab states, and why not regime troops,” Fabius told RTL radio without specifying whether he meant immediately or in the long term.

Clarifying Fabius’s comments, an official said the minister was reiterating France’s longstanding position that there could be no cooperation with Syrian government forces to battle Isis until a unity government was in place. However, the French and Russian leaders remained at odds over the fate of Assad. LA COMPLESSITA’ SIRO-IRACHENA RIDOTTA ALL’OSSO. Mappa per orientarsi nel disordine mediorientale.

A Solution For Syria and the Kurds That Turkey and the U.S. Can Agree On. How to reconcile the approaches of Turkey and the United States over Syria? Both countries seek to depose President Assad while defeating ISIL, and also while reducing the terrible humanitarian plight of the Syrian people which has, among other effects, sent nearly two million refugees onto Turkish soil.

But Ankara, wary of its own Kurdish population and particularly the militant PKK, which espouses violence in the pursuit of potential independence, is extremely reluctant to see Syrian Kurds armed and otherwise assisted by Washington.

In the six months since the Islamic State group declared a caliphate across Iraq and Syria, it has become an international enemy and prompted the first U.S. intervention in the conflict since the beginning of the nearly four-year Syrian civil war.
