Sadrists protestors stormed the #Iraqi parliament and Moqtada al-Sadr announced his "retrieve for few months" due to "corrupted politicians"

Today, the #Russia/n Air Force attacked #JN and allies positions in El-Eis and Tel al-Eis for the first time since weeks. #Syria.

Fierce fighting continue between Jaish al-Islam on one side & Jaish al-Fistat (including Ahrar al-Sham & Al-Qaeda) in Eastern Ghouta #Syria

Cease-fire for 24 hours in rural Damascus and for 72 hours in rural Latakia is implemented by all belligerents starting from this morning.

Governments in the Middle East failure 2absorb Jihadists rather than jailing them. Long to explain here. Will write about it :-) @ExMiliMed1

When belligerents r very close one another, no Air Force can be used.Syrian AF was used but infantry failed at El Eis @ChrisChaccour @lrozen

Jihadist groups under different names will emerge under different names. This will continue.

IMO, Jihadists groups will not be defeated in the Middle East.If #ISIS is defeated in Iraq/Syria, other groups will emerge. #AQ will remain+

Russia+USA see a possibility 2isolate more grps from AQ & would like 2give a chance 2peace.Won't work on d long term @ChrisChaccour @lrozen

Rebels took almost half of SAA arsenal at the beginning of the war . Nevertheless, no warehouse can host enough for 5yrs @OpenmindAvenue

Element: The race to Raqqa. If regime is having a cease-fire all over the places, easy to reach deir-ezzour and surround Raqqa. @lrozen

It is not in the USA' interest to allow Assad to relax and put all the pressure on rebels to halt Aleppo. There is also another +/ @lrozen

Moreover, belligerents know how important is Aleppo for Assad, considered the 2d capital of Syria. Everybody wants 2 control it + @lrozen

Aleppo has been a dream4Turkey 2annex or impose a degree of control (Mosul (Iraq). Therefore, no interest in calming down Aleppo+ @lrozen

Turkey has a degree of influence n JN in Syria. JN is intelligent enough2 understand it is in its interest 2keep away from Latakia+ @lrozen

Turkey is the key supplier to rebels and understands that Latakia will bring back Russia in full forces into the arena, again 1/+ @lrozen

Keep in mind that Russian military bases (Air and Naval Forces) are based in and around Latakia @lrozen

Turkey allowed & continue), since 2years, #AQ & allies 2use borders 2attack Latakia, an area Russia make no compromise in defending @lrozen

Coz Turkey has strong influence, with a couple strong rebels as proxies, in rural Latakia.1/+ @lrozen

The U.S. position in Syria has come closer to Russia's with the growing realization that the "rebels" are in fact badly al-Qaeda-laced.

#Aleppo under bombing NOW: 4 killed in Hay al-Maydan and 2 Mocambo, making it at least 14 killed today in regime held area. #Syria

saudi Arabia is the most cooperative on Intel (against AQ and ISIS) with USA, at the same time. @dallicious050 @csi_wulan

You r right. the cease-fire in Ghouta is holding, a part from minor violations. JAI is Salafist not Takferee 2day @LegitCFCPundit @csi_wulan

Civilians on both sides are not bombing. Military and militants are. @BBassem7

I agree with Obama: It is complicated. Saudi will suffer from AQ and ISIS in the future even if equal ideology @dallicious050 @csi_wulan

FYI: Both sides r putting pressure on civilians in #Aleppo. There are no angels and both sides are blindly targeting, randomly, all streets

Jaish al-Islam is not linked to AQ. It is linked to saudi Arabia. @csi_wulan

The luxury on #Aleppo since two days, there is one hour electricity every 24hours. Better than nothing. #Syria.

Russia and USA are cherry picking in Syria and going by elimination of groups who agree on CoH. @JodocusQuak @Syricide @GebeilyM

Coz there is no control over Jabhat al-Nusra and US "friend". Read Kirby on Syria over this point. http://m.state.gov/md256566.htm  @lrozen
