Who is Playing Who In Syria?



THE ONE THING TO BE SURE OF IN SYRIA, IS THAT YOU CANNOT KNOW WHO TO TRUST

From NewVision

Al Nusra, the Al Quaida branch in Syria, has, at least officially, broken ties with Al Quaida.
Al-Nusra is a terror organization which emerged in January 2012, to fight President Bashar al-Assad, alongside with many other jihadigroups.

The leader of Al Nusra, Abu Mohamad al-Jolani, said in a statement:  
"We decided to stop operating under the banner of Al-Nusra and to set up a new front, called Jabhat Fateh al-Sham”.

THE QUESTION IS WHY?

 


ON ONE HAND..

It’s hard to know things for sure in a war zone, and these guys don’t follow western logic.
Charles Lister, journalist and researcher, say that US and Russia have negotiated this split – to be able to, more effectively, target jihadists operating in Syria.

So I guess Al Nusra might become one of the terror organizations that we train and support in order to … make peace?

War is ugly and insane.



Who knows - US and Russia may have in mind, further down the line, to make this “new” group “acceptable”, as an alternative to Assad- Al Nusra is quite popular in Syria.

I guess a lot is going on behind the curtains, to build an alternative to Assad, which all fighting parts can accept.

The possibility of supporting a possible secular government in Syria, as in Iran 1979, is probably non excisting. That would have been a blessing to the area, but hardly unlikely.

Officially, the US government assure about Al Nusra that: "They are still considered a foreign terrorist organisation," Kirby said. "We judge a group by what they do, not by what they call themselves."




ON THE OTHER HAND..
According to analyst Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi, Al Quaida expresses support to the split, in order to “get deeper established in Syria”.


Maybe do they see a possibility as themselves as leaders of the caliphate in Syria, and, officially or non-officially, back into alliance with Al Nusra; if the war scene even should come to such a crazy outcome.

Lister said that "Al-Qaeda is playing a critically important role in shaping this development, and their thinking and strategising will remain crucial for this new Jabhat Fateh al-Sham movement.
One of the men sitting beside Jolani during the announcement of the new Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, was Al-Qaeda veteran leader Ahmed Salameh Mabrouk.

Al Quaida will still oppose the most moderate of opposition groups in Syria; it will still be viciously sectarian, and it will still ultimately seek the establishment of an Islamic emirate in Syria and the potential launching of external attacks on the West."

If anyone had any doubts about their intentions..



TRUTH IS..




There are no good guys in this area, seen with Western eyes.
Most of them are dedicated muslims, who want sharia law, and death penalty for adultery, homosexuality, and for leaving islam.
Muslims who hate Israel, USA and the Western way of life.

No one should be surprised if both Al Quaida, the new Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, and ISIS/ISIL, at a critical moment, could all work together for “the good cause of islam and the caliphate”.



INTRIGESTHE SOAP OPERA OF POLITICS

Robert Fisk in The Independent, says it like this:
 
 “Al-Julani did – though this was missed by the “experts” in the networks – make passing reference to bin Laden, giving the murdered al-Qaeda leader’s blessing to the split because he had once said that the interests of the Muslim homeland “take precedence over any state”. So the break with al-Qaeda was mutual and all in the interests of the suffering Syrian people, and so on, and so on.
Washington dismissed the story as a “rebranding” exercise – without giving the slightest indication that the whole tale was a re-boot. The Algerians have a good saying for this: boiling old stones in the saucepan.”

He empezises Qatar’s involvement and support to Al Nusra, and that Qatar maybe want a pice of the Syrian cake. They have earlier wanted Al Nusra off the list of terror organizations.
The Saudis, who are supporting ISIS/ISIL, are not happy about Qatar.

The question maybe is: Is it with or without an US, and or, Russian game plan?
Who is playing whose game?
This is the soap opera of politics.

The Independent goes on saying:

“Lister’s a “senior consultant” in the “Sheikh Group’s Track II Syria Initiative”. The Sheikh in question is Salman Sheikh, director of the Brookings Doha Centre in Qatar and fellow at the centre for Middle East Policy.
And the Brookings Doha Centre belongs to the Brookings Institute and its co-chair is – you guessed it – none other than Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem, the former prime minister of Qatar’s ex-ruler Sheikh Hamad whose son – the new Emir Sheikh Tamim – is now trying to present Nusra as a shiny brushed-up guerrilla army fit for acceptance by the rest of the world as a real opposition to Assad.”



“LEAKED” PROPOSAL FROM US-RUSSIAN TALKS

Fox News reported some days ago about the latest US-Russia talks about Syria.
Kerry had talks both with Lavrov and with Putin.

The proposal showed “the U.S. offering Russia a broad new military partnership against IS and the Nusra Front, which is al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate. Several conditions would apply, including Russia committing to grounding Syria's bombers and starting a long-sought political transition process.”
Dunford denied reports that U.S.-backed opposition forces have coordinated with Nusra in some cases.
"We don't have any indication that the forces that we are providing support to in Syria are cooperating or intermingled with al-Nusra," the general said.

And we have no way of knowing who’s telling the truth, and what is really going on.



HARD TO KNOW- BEST TO PRAY

Is it a part of a larger plan from Al Quaida?
Or is it an US effort to fight down Assad, and establish an alternative to Assad?
Or a joint US-Russian plan of setting up an alternative government, down the road?


Who is playing who?
One thing is sure: Neither of them can trust the other parts.

It’s hard to know what’s really going on.
What we can do is pray.
Pray for protection and peace for the people.
Pray that Russia and the West can cooperate, and have the same goal.
Pray that Israel, US and the West will be the smartest in this war. 
It will be the smartest part, and not the most evil, who will win this war.

Christians know we’re on the winning team, God’s team, and that God of The Bible already has the Victory.
