Civil War in Syria

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

Well, SAA and Aleppo citizens now are celebrating complete liberation of the city.

If you follow the twitter reports from this citizens it's usually terror as Assad's troops are executing children and citizens in Eastern Aleppo

There are even no proves of those "mass executions" and as always both sides are flooding Twitter with fake news. I am saying both because often pro-SAA accounts are also posting some bullsh**t.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

So the UN's now considered fake news?

Well, Reuters stated that UN base on some reports, similarly as Western media are basing on SOHR or some strange "organisations" which are not even based in Syria. During this conflict mainstream media failed so much that for me it is not shocking that even UN spokesman can be misinformed.

Trump team shelves Obama team’s plan to arm Kurds for an attack on Raqqa:

That doesn't make sense.

So, there's been some news in this area recently...

[Suburbia]

I say let Assad do what pleases him, but it still is sad. We should be careful of intervening.

[Blue3]

We just bombed a Syrian military airfield with at least 50 tomahawk cruise missiles.

Well, not only Obama and Hillary used to help ISIS, but now Trump is helping ISIS too.

Why don't the NATO powers "fight for democracy" in Saudi Arabia?

[Silent Hunter]

The story about Russia and Iran threatening force may well be fake.

Nice map with evolution over the last 2 years

In Iraq, the government has taken Tal Afar with ease, but ISIS are holed up in a small suburb of the city.

In Iraq, the government has taken Tal Afar with ease, but ISIS are holed up in a small suburb of the city.

The Tal Afar area is now completely cleansed from IS, even the suburbs you mentioned.

Remaining areas under IS control: the Hawiya pocket and the desert/Euphrates valley in the West.

First SAA advancing units have reached the besieged regime-hold part of Deir ez-Zor. Technically the siege might be considered broken, although it will take some time until the SAA manages to fully secure its supply lines.

Edit: Premature, but will probably be true tomorrow, more or less.

Glorious news.

This is not over yet. ISIS will counterattack very soon. And large parts of the city are still held by ISIS, the battle for them will be brutal.

Huge progress is being made right now in both Syria and Iraq:

In Syria, 90% of Raqqa has been cleansed from the Islamist fu**ers and the Russian-backed Assad forces have reached Deir-el-Zor and cleansed the surrounding areas (they even crossed the Euphrates to the north). Meanwhile, the Kurds are moving south towards DEZ and the Euphrates valley.

In Iraq, the army has started their liberation of the remaining Hawija pocket, which is now almost half cleansed.

IS only has some areas of the lower Syrian Euphrates Valley left. The other remaining area is just uninhabitated desert.

It sounds like Bashar Al-Assad ordered the killing (or at least was indirectly responsible)

It sure does take a lot of realism to ignore the fact that Assad's victory would almost certainly mean death for tens of thousands of political opponents. I'm glad the United Nations is willing to fight such inhumane - no, inhuman - leaders and their allies...
