Al-Akhbar: #HTS informed the #Palestinian militant factions operating in #Syria to lay down their #weapons, close training camps, and dissolve their military wings operating in Syria, while maintaining political and charitable work according to the conditions of the New Syrian Government
Unconfirmed: The new Syrian government have said that only women with Hijab can enter government buildings.
I have only seen it on TikTok and one not very reliable Telegram channel. If that is true, it means that they have started implementing Sharia laws in the country just a day after taking over the country, freaking Khomeini waited almost 9 months to make it compulsory and in stages.
It never ends.
Even with internet and the world watching them, they keep repeating these ridiculous lies.
Assad was a monster, hus prison's were full of innocent people, bit fucking CNN had to fake the release of a man who was released previous day to create their "live" propaganda.
I wonder if he got paid for his role or he did it just to help?
It's just disgusting.
I don't presume to understand all the factions in #Syria and their inter-relations.
In the #Druze village of Hader on the Syrian side of the #Golan heights, men gathered to discuss their fate. They fear reprisal from revolutionary forces, having stayed loyal to Assad's regime. (It is actually traditional in Druze culture to be loyal to their state, as they never had a state of their own.)
If we have to choose, we will choose the lesser evil – to be annexed to the (Israeli) Golan!
Which is the frying pan and which the fire? The Druze population in #Israel are generally liked by the Jewish majority. Although they do suffer discrimination as an Arab ethnic minority.
Former Qatari PM Hamad al-Thani advises the new Syrian government "not to get preoccupied" with fighting Israel now
After Assad was overthrown, the Qatari billionaire took to X to offer advice to the Syrian rebels. He urged them to refrain from "focusing on Israeli threats and violations." Instead, he suggested they pursue "legal means" through the United Nations.
While conceding that such efforts "might not actually get anywhere," he suggested that it would at least be "taken into account" by the international community.
Isn't it just lovely?
As if Israel has EVER cared about what anyone else, specially UN thinks and says. Wasn't it for Hezbollah's decades of fight against Israeli occupation, southern Lebanon would look like occupied west bankor Golan Heights right now.
Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture
Source: https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-syrian-prison-official-charged-torture
In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.
Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

Peace for Syria. Not a piece of Syria
#geopolitics #imperialism #war #Syria
For 13 years, Syria has been engulfed in unimaginable suffering, with its people enduring war, displacement, and oppression. The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime – a symbol of systematic human rights violations including imprisonment, torture, and murder – has sparked hope. Yet, this moment demands more than hope. It demands action.
The international community must finally confront the tragic reality of Syria: a nation treated as a chessboard by global powers, where the people’s humanity is overshadowed by the pursuit of geopolitical advantage. From Russia and Iran to Turkey, the United States, NATO, Israel, and Qatar, these players have exploited Syria, each backing factions to further their own interests. These interventions have fuelled sectarian violence, displaced millions, and committed crimes against humanity, all while leaving Syrians to grapple with unending loss and despair.
It is time to say enough. Enough of treating Syria as a prize to be divided. Enough of forced displacement and the endless deaths at Europe’s borders. Enough of racism in countries meant to be places of refuge. The cycle of normalised violence must end.

In Syria dirty war, “our side” has won - by Aaron Maté
#geopolitics #imperialism #war #Syria
Biden and his team of Obama administration veterans, who began the CIA war against Syria in 2011, now find themselves leaving office just as their regime change project achieves its goal. After hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, and a country decimated – all so that a secular dictator could be replaced by a former leader of Al Qaeda -- it will not be a surprise if Biden and his aides soon stop taking credit for the fact that “our side” has won.
