SO LONG, SPACE COWBOYSRecent news:Keep in mind the previous thread lasted months, so these events are separated by weeks.
Suwayda conflict basically freezes.
Minor clashes between SDF & STG.
STG attempts to capture Omar Omson, the leader of a French foreign Islamist faction accused of kidnapping women, at his base in Idlib countryside. They fail and come to a truce.
More clashes between SDF & STG.
Small anti-Alawite pogrom in Homs caused by the murder of two Sunnis there, despite STG investigation revealing that there was no sectarian motive to the murder.
Protests by Alawites in the coastal region in response to the pogrom. Multiple deaths among protestors, counter-protestors and STG security forces.
Multiple deaths among US soldiers during a joint STG-US patrol in Palmyra. The attacker infiltrated and was a part of the STG's MoI and was with the patrol.
The STG-SDF conflict escalates. SDF agrees to withdraw from Deir Hafer in exchange for a ceasefire, but the STG & tribal auxiliaries keep advancing despite the ceasefire. Revolts by Arab tribes inside of the SDF and them losing a lot of territory makes them sign an integration agreement that basically amounts to capitulation.

>>2656866obligatory OLLAHOOAKBARING hahahahahahhahahahahha
>>2656210"Autonomy" is an extremely broad concept Anon. American states have a relatively high degree of autonomy as outlined by the US Constitution, including their own state constitutions, the power to set their own criminal laws, and even state military forces that answer to state governors. Does this make US states de-facto independent? Is America a Balkanized country? By comparison Canadian provinces have a lower degree of autonomy, without the power to make their own criminal codes or their own military forces but authority over other areas like natural resources, health and education policy, etc. Autonomy can exist to a higher or lower degree depending on the precise powers portioned out to different levels of government by a country's constitution. In other words, a call for autonomy is not the same as a call for de facto independence, since this would depend on its precise content.
>>2656748>>2656749>>2656839look at all those burkas. long time no see. all these years, these people were waiting there, for the their headCHUDppers.
>>2656896giving Kurds an autonomous region could have worked against the state of Syria in the long run. don't play dumb in not knowing that Kurds want to form a state in the historical region of Kurdistan now.
Kurds will never get their own state apparently since the historical epoch of national liberation has passed. Kurds missed the train of national liberation, or something
>>2656933Or it could have worked for it by giving the Kurds a relationship with Damascus that they were comfortable with and supported. That's how states become successful, by bringing people into a ruling hegemony in which they have a stake and an interest in preserving. The reason why the YPG existed in the first place was because Kurds felt alienated by the policies and institutions of the Syrian state, that it didn't serve their interests, etc. The solution to that problem is to bring them into the fold, not berate them into compliance.
STG & SDF have approved some new agreement.
>>2656939no, they simply overplayed a hand they didn't have:
>>2656237 >>2656958Gets backstabbed anyways
Loses more land anyways
>>2656955yeah, sure sure. as if in the early 2010-2011-2012, when the first clashes occurred, many Kurdish politicians chanted 'Assad must go', and with the DAANES formed, the KNC worked close with the PYD, with the KNC participating in joint Kurdish conferences and joint statements with the AANES institutions
https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/383228.
it's absolutely foolish to believe that they wouldn't have used that against the Syrian state.
even so, if a referendum had happened, Syria would have rejected it. Assad never opposed that, Kurds simply knew they would have lost.
>>2656995The Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada militia isn't in power. and Haj Abu spent 5 years inside a US prison
>>2656867are Kurds from all regions coming to Syria now to fight for Rojava?
>>2656817too incompetent… or maybe not willing to
>>2657037They did say they re-captured only 90 so far.
>>2657031>it is isn't in powerThat's why they kill anti government protesters and break up strikes in service of their multinational owners
>spent 5 years in prisonSo did Jolani and Baghdadi lole
Are ISIS members known for using "communist" as a derogatory term? Because I've seen Islamists online calling SDF "communists"
It's a cold war era slur in the region afaik
>>2657074There is nothing weird about this and Mosques under Assad did the same thing.
If you are feeling down anons you can watch some schizo-core faggots get blown up.
Gangs preparing for an attack are dealt a blow: 5 gang members killed, 7 wounded. [vidrel1]
Gang groups affiliated with the Syrian Interim Government, supported by the occupying Turkish state, gathered at Basil Station on the Girê Spî and Reqa road and launched an attack. SDF, YPG, and YPJ forces repelled the attack and carried out an operation. As a result of the operation, 5 gang members were killed and 7 were wounded. A Kirpi-style armored vehicle and a large amount of ammunition were also seized.
Martyr Harun Units killed numerous gang members.[vidrel2]
In the operations carried out by the Martyr Harun Units in the last few days, numerous gang members were killed and wounded.
The gangs suffered heavy blows at the Qaraqozaq Bridge, a tank was destroyed. [vidrels, the rest]
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Press Center announced that the interim government's mercenaries, supported by the occupying Turkish state, are carrying out fierce attacks and are trying to cross the Qaraqozaq bridge in this direction.
>Ansarallah leader: “Because the Kurds tied their entire reality to the Americans, trusted them…here they are, selling them to al-Julani… This is a lesson for those who take heed and for those who tie their fate to the Americans and believe that they are protected.”
Nasruddin Amer.
>>2657086>The protests' demand to end Iranian influence directly threatened Iran-backed militias like Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada.you are a retard. the protests were anti-axis of resistance in nature. If Iraq is part of the resistance, I welcome that.
>>2657102Lel, Yeeet'd!
Always makes me lmao when their faggy little mates run away at first contact/injuries. Every time without fail. Reactionaries have 0 solidarity.
>>2657102it seems to me that the headCHUDppers aren't prepared for the drone warfare at all. their reaction to a grenade drop highlights that.
>Yes, the Revolution was dead and with it the life seemed to have gone out of the soul of Europe. That new heaven; called Utopia, whose glamour had relieved the twilight of the gods, had receded into a dim future where only young eyes could see it; the older ones had followed that lure long enough, and turned away from it now as a mockery of men’s hopes. Only the young can live in the future, and only the old can live in the past; men were most of them forced to live in the present, and the present was a ruin. How many thousands of heroes and believers had fought for the Revolution! How the hearts of youth everywhere in Europe had turned towards the young republic, and had lived on the light and hope of it, until Beethoven tore into shreds the dedication of his Heroic Symphony to the man who had ceased to be the Son of the Revolution and had become the son-in-law of reaction. How many had fought even then for the great hope, and had believed, with passionate uncertainty, to the very end? And now here was the very end: Waterloo, and St. Helena, and Vienna; and on the throne of prostrate France a Bourbon who had learned nothing and forgotten nothing. This was the glorious denouement of a generation of such hope and effort as human history had never known before. What a comedy this tragedy was for those whose laughter was yet bitter with tears!
>Many of the poor had, in these days of disillusionment and suffering, the consolation of religious hope; but a large proportion of the upper classes had lost their faith, and looked out upon a ruined world with no alleviating vision of a vaster life in whose final justice and beauty these ugly ills would be dissolved. And in truth it was hard enough to believe that such a sorry planet as men saw in 1818 was held up in the hand of an intelligent and benevolent God. Mephistopheles had triumphed, and every Faust was in despair.
SDF: Heavy fighting is taking place around al-Hol camp
The SDF Press Center announced that heavy fighting is taking place between fighters and Syrian interim government gangs around the al-Hol camp.
Thousands of ISIS families remain in the al-Hol camp.
SDF foils attempts by interim government gangs in a village in Hasakah (vidrel1)
The SDF Press Center issued a statement regarding the incident.
The statement said, "Our forces foiled an attempt by Damascus militants to advance into the village of Til Barûd on the Abyad road south of the city of Hasakah."
Our fighters fought against the attacking militants. The fighters inflicted heavy blows on the attackers and seized a number of their tanks and weapons.
"Our forces continue to respond to the development efforts and are on standby to defend the region and repel all attacks."
Scenes of the battle and the capture of tanks were shared.
YRK-HPJ: We are ready to participate in the Rojava war and resistance.
The Rojhilatê Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK) Command and the Rojhilatê Kurdistan Women's Defense Forces (HPJ) issued a statement regarding the attacks on Rojavayê Kurdistan.
The YRK and HPJ first called on everyone to mobilize to defend Rojava Kurdistan, saying, "We are ready to join the Rojava resistance."
<The statement from YRK and HPJ is as follows:
“Today, a widespread attack has been launched against our people in Rojava Kurdistan by gangs linked to the Syrian and Turkish states, with the support of regional and international powers. The aim of these attacks is to end the gains of the Kurdish people, achieved through the blood of martyrs and resistance throughout Kurdistan. Rojava is the national treasure, freedom, and democracy of the Kurdish people, all women, and all freedom-seeking people in the Middle East. Therefore, supporting the people and Rojava Kurdistan is a moral duty.”
While Iranian state forces are currently committing massacres against the people in Rojhilatê Kurdistan and Iran, and the Kurdish and Iranian people are waging an unprecedented struggle for freedom, Rojavayê Kurdistan once again represents all Kurdish people. They must rise up for it with a national stance. Therefore, everyone should join Rojava's struggle and resistance.
Just as the youth of Rojhilatê Kurdistan participated in the historic resistance during the ISIS attacks on Kobanê and Şengal, resulting in the martyrdom of hundreds of young people, the same stance must be taken today. We, the Rojhilatê Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK) and the Rojhilatê Kurdistan Women's Defense Forces (HPJ), are ready to join the war and resistance of Rojhilatê Kurdistan.
All people, especially young people and women, should join the struggle and national resistance of Rojava Kurdistan with the spirit of the 'Jin Jiyan Azadî' revolution and the slogan 'Protecting Rojava is protecting Kurdistan'.
SDF: We will abide by the ceasefire unless our forces are attacked.
The General Command of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced a ceasefire agreement with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The statement read: “We announce our commitment to fully implementing the ceasefire agreement reached with the government in Damascus and confirm that we will not undertake any military action in the future unless our forces are attacked. Furthermore, we confirm our openness to political initiatives, negotiated solutions, and dialogue, and our readiness to continue implementing the January 18th agreement. This supports calm and stability.
HTS violated the ceasefire agreement and bombed Eqtan Prison with drones.
While the ceasefire is supposed to be in effect, HTS gangs are continuing their attacks. After targeting Eqtan Prison with heavy weapons all day, the gangs are now attacking it with drones. A SDF fighter was wounded in the attack.
Gangs reportedly targeted Eqtan Prison five times.
The so-called Syrian Army, but often seen in images as including ISIS militants, is part of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militia. They attacked Eqtan Prison with the aim of freeing ISIS militants held there.
>>2657118>can't get to agreement with HTS>US withdraws support>loses 70% of its territory
>agrees to ceasefire under worse terms than previously>renounces agreement literally the next day
>loses even more territory
>agrees to ceasefire againWHAT is their endgame
should've shot all islamists while they were still in prison
would anyone blame them?
>>2657131>would anyone blame them?Yes unfortunately, every faggot agency would have turned against them, they would have became a pariah overnight and turkey would go straight in.
We have spoke about this already, multiple times.
>>2657145is it really impossible to indiscriminately commit mass murder anymore? what has the world come to
>>2657091isnt it weird to talk about conquests of infidels when kurds are already muslim
>>2657150They consider followers of Ocalan to be apostates or something
>>2657150It's clearly nationalist brainrot with flowery language
>>2657150they are the wrong kind of muslim
>>2657166Who? What?
