#Syria
#SDF press has published an interesting GoPro footage shot by an #Isis member in #Hajin pocket during the (well-known) #CizireStorm operation.

The footage shows us what is the real situation in #Hajin pocket. Militants understand that they are surrounded by #SDF and they start disobeying their commander, Abu Ayman al-Iraqi.pic.twitter.com/zdYH6wNbOT
#Syria
Panic spreads among militants as #SDF get closer to this #Isis unit in #Hajin pocket. The commander asks, orders, begs the other members of the unit to remain there to fight SDF. De facto, they refuse to fight.pic.twitter.com/wpH2uU0g7l

Abu Ayman al-Iraqi (this #Isis commander). tries to incite his unit: "shot them. Do not be afraid". But panic as won: #SDF are very close now and militants decide to leave their commander alone at the frontline. At the end, he gets wounded but nobody helps him.pic.twitter.com/W8Tv60nYYv
The video ends with Abu Ayman al-Iraqi shouting at his members but nobody answers. He dies alone on the ground, abandoned by his #Isis fellows.pic.twitter.com/ArdKHWdkvr
The reason of this thread is that our media have, during these years, showed only the efficent working side of the Islamic State.
Imo, such footages are very important because we can see that #Isis is not a "perfect machine".
This footage reminds me (and you too I know) of the "famous" #Isis member Abu Hajaar, killed by Kurdish Peshmerga near #Mosul, #Iraq, in 2016.

I'd like to end this thread with a moral consideration: not all #Isis guys fight till death because they (when they do not take Captagon pills of course) feel the same feelings that everyone has at the frontline. Imagine all those fighting against the Islamic State these years...
...being captured, tortured, killed, abused and raped in this war between #Syria and #Iraq (ofc I do not mention #Afghanistan, #Philippines, and #Africa in general).
But the point is: are such #Isis members still humans? Should we try to de-radicalize them? Is it possible?
It won't be an easy work for sure but we should try to promote difderent de-radicalization programs.
Here is an old but still interesting article about this topic (where you can see also the great @MrMubinShaikh).https://theconversation.com/de-radicalization-can-work-for-former-isis-fighters-88686 …
One of the greatest source about de-radicalization is the "Journal for Deradicalization". If you have time, read some of its articles.https://doaj.org/toc/2363-9849?source=%7B%22query%22%3A%7B%22filtered%22%3A%7B%22filter%22%3A%7B%22bool%22%3A%7B%22must%22%3A%5B%7B%22terms%22%3A%7B%22index.issn.exact%22%3A%5B%222363-9849%22%5D%7D%7D%2C%7B%22term%22%3A%7B%22_type%22%3A%22article%22%7D%7D%5D%7D%7D%2C%22query%22%3A%7B%22match_all%22%3A%7B%7D%7D%7D%7D%2C%22from%22%3A0%2C%22size%22%3A100%7D …
