    Lister ‏@Charles_Lister
    Reports of heavy clashes now between Ahrar al-Sham & Jund al-Aqsa in the #Idlib towns of Khan Sheikhoun & Saraqeb.
    Was entirely inevitable.

    With JFS facilitation, most of Jund al-Aqsa’s force left #Saraqeb recently, to the village of Sheikh Mustafa. More went south to #Hama.

    Ideological differences & strategic distrust with Jund al-Aqsa essentially resulted in an agreement to minimize direct cooperation.
    (AS JaA has not formerly broken away from IS)

    The #Hama front was given mainly to a Jund al-Aqsa-lead, while JFS & Ahrar al-Sham assumed preeminence in SW #Aleppo
    Clashes = v important.


    Clashes between JAA and AAS have reportedly ceased after mediation. Certainly not the last of it.

    Reports of renewed fighting between Jund al-Aqsa and Ahrar al-Sham in Idlib. Both have been trading threats, accusations and ultimatums.

    .@Doranimated explained in 2014 Obama's response when politico-media pressure to act gets too much: "Syria two-step"
    http://brook.gs/2dBXBbN

    HIGHLY interesting as it explains the typical Obama/Rhodes WH spin, dive and duck for the last eight years....WITH the exception of their Iran Deal where they were fully engaged but spun that as well....

    BUT it does not explain that in the art of negotiations one side must have some sort of leverage to get the other side to even think about moving...WHEN the US has had repeated evidence, clear and concise evidence of Russian misdeeds in eastern Ukraine and now Syria ...THIS administration chooses not to use that leverage and just talks and talks and talks...WHY is that???

    WHY is this administration so set in giving up the ME to an Iranian/Russian hegemony and ditching 70 year old allies in the process????

    EVEN the Europeans are sensing this and privately questioning the intent of Obama and Kerry....

    Someone should tell #Mistura, #Assad invents "Nusra" where ever he needs it.
    This morning, they even hold #Damascus' #Jobar out of nowhere.


    Just another morning in rebel-held #WestGhouta near #Damascus.
    11 barrel bombs dropped by #Assad so far.

    68 civilians were killed by #AssadPutin on Thursday in #Syria, incl. 8 children
    24 of the victims died in and around #Aleppo

    German foreign minister #Steinmeier claims to "stand up for human rights across world" while allying closer and closer with his recent public statements with #Russia & #Iran.

    Syria #Aleppo Rebels captured more pro #Assad-forces (a mix of #Iraq'i & Quds-brigade fighters) in southern Sheikh Sa'eed neighborhood

    NOTE: while the Assad regime claimed to be attacking eastern Aleppo...which the are they are not making any headway by the Shia mercenaries, Hezbollah and Quds....anti Assad forces are proving to Assad who the better urban warfare fighters are.....and it is not the Assad forces....

    NOTE: Quds is a US named terrorist organization and the Iraqi Shia are not evidently NOT fighting IS EITHER in Iraq or Syria.....

    From Russia Today info war media outlet....

    Breaking.....and this is why ColdWar 5 is upon us.......driven by Putin as he urgently needs to deflect his own civil society from the basic facts that his FP has driven their economy into the ground causing them to lose 10% of their real wages just for 2016...and at this pace the Russia economy is headed for a general collapse.....

    Syria Rebels bombing factories-barrier 8 km north of #Hama city

    Syria today.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oWVHlG5KVk#


    The German FM seems to be inhaling the Russian propaganda in reference to the Syria opposition group Ahrar al Sham.....

    .@AuswaertigesAmt: Ahrar al-Sham muss sich „von terroristischen & islamistischen Tendenzen verabschieden“, sonst kφnnte sie zum Ziel werden.

    .@GermanyDiplo: Ahrar a-Sham must not only conduct no terror attacks (which it doesn't) but also turn non-islamist to be no terror org. ...
    NOTE:.....the Russians have been attempting repeatedly to get AAS placed on the UNSC Syrian terror list and the Us has refused SO it looks like the German SPD FM is trying an end run around the US and the UNSC for the Russians...
