OK Nederland. Laten we het hebben over Jabhat al-Shamiya, de Syrische rebellengroep die in het verleden gesteunt is door het kabinet en nu world omschreven als "terroristisch"

Als iemand die de beweging al vanaf het begin volgt kajbik vertellen wat JaS wel is en wat niet
Is Jabhat al-Shamiya een militante rebellengroep die zich schuldig heeft gemaakt aan martelpraktijken, corruptie, wapensmokkel, afpersing, willekeurige beschietingen van burgerdoelen en de ethnische zuivering van Koerden in Afrin - JA
Is Jabhat al-Shamiya "de vijand" (zoals Ron Fresen het omschreef) van het Westen. Een jihadistische terreurbeweging die heeft verklaart te strijden voor een kaliphaat, gelieerd is aan IS en aanslagen plant in Europa - NEE

#Syria: for over two years the people of Maarat al-Numan have protested continuously against Jabhat al-Nusra (& synonyms #JFS, #HTS).

Now the city together with the whole Jabal al-Zawiya region of #Idlib are freed of jihadists, thanks to local #FSA & #JTS
#Syria: as #JTS and #FSA forces are also advancing around Atarib (W #Aleppo) and Maarrat al-Misrin #HTS is at risk of being split into two separate pockets. One east of the M5 highway and the other in the region between #Idlib city and the #Turkey border
#Syria: meanwhile #HTS is trying to counter the rebel offensive throughout "greater" #Idlib by attacking the town of Batabo, located just west of Atarib
