Nigeria, the emergency of killings linked to organ trafficking breaks out
Two episodes in a few days. All eyes on ISWAP. The modus operandi follows that of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
Syria, SDF dismantle pro-ISIS smugglers cell in Deir Ezzor
Raid with Inherent Resolve in Busayrah. 3 facilitators of the Islamic State arrested, while a fifth is on the run. They managed the transport of men and goods on the Euphrates.
Syria, the Islamic State is winning on the SAA west of Deir Ezzor
Yet another ambush by pro-ISIS jihadists causes 17 deaths among the Damascus troops. Since March 2019, 1,607 soldiers have died in the face of 1.096 terrorists.
Syria, Russia’s concern about escalation in the North is growing
New military exercises of Moscow troops in Qamishli. Objective: to maintain deterrence towards a possible TAF-militia offensive against SDF-SAA.
Syria, civilian real estate in Deir Ezzor targeted by pro-Iran militias
Objective: to reduce the risks that infrastructures, used as weapons and ammunition depots or as command centers, are attacked by unknown drones.
Syria, the United States will remain in the country to fight the Islamic State
The US armed forces won’t abandon the SDF from Deir Ezzor to Raqqa, passing through Hasaka in the fight against the former ISIS jihadists. Especially now.
Syria, the SDF capture a pro-Turkey spy in Deir Ezzor
The man was trying to find out the coordinates of the Kurdish forces posts and any transfer of reinforcements to Aleppo, due to the escalation in the area.
Syria, the risks of a new violent conflict in Afrin are growing
Turkey and allied militias send reinforcements to Tel Abyad. The SAA and SDF do likewise east of Ain Issa. Ankara must drive the enemy away from Idlib, but the price could be very high.
Syria, pro-Iran militias begin to buy real estate also in Raqqa
Tehran's objective is twofold: on the one hand to hide deposits from Israeli raids and on the other to increase the presence of Shiites in the province.
Afghanistan, fourth ISKP bomb attack on a place of worship in 2 weeks
The former ISIS jihadists want to discredit the Taliban and "punish" the Shiite infidels. Furthermore, the timing confirms that they will keep pressing the Islamic Emirate.
