Idlib liberated!

[Sketcher]

Al-Qaida affiliates. That's not liberation.

You think it is the rebel groups who are brutal radical extremists? Read this and weep:

I don't "think" so.

I know so.

Al-nusra, in particular, are pretty much in the same boat as ISIS scum.

About half of the radicalised, brutal and criminal young Belgians that went to Syria as jihadists, actually joined that particular group.

To cheer at them seizing power, any power, is to cheer at violent "jihad". It is supporting al-qaida affiliated brutality. It is cheering for suicide bombings targetting civilians.

And by doing so, it is symbolically the same as dancing in the street when a jihadi detonates himself in some marketplace or in some subway or at some airport. It is like killing the terrorist victims all over again.

There are very little "good guys" at the Syrian front lines currently.

Whatever happens after that certainly won't be as bad as what is happening right now (assuming all of the regime's elements and corruptions are weeded out), God-willing. His successor will be someone who the local population will choose/support

Do you actually, really, honestly, believe that if scumbags like those of al-nusra conquer all over syria and annhilate Assad and everything remotely connected to him.... that they are going to hold free elections????? You have GOT to be kidding!!!

It might get even worse, the people there might elect a muslim party out of their own free will.

Or.. SOCIALISTS!

Then the USA would have to pinochet the place all over again.

Just reposting videos of the local Syrians' (you know, the ones bearing the brunt of the violence at the hands of the regime/allies) elation at the liberation of Idlib. Far off observers can say that they shouldn't be happy all they want, that they're not actually liberated, or they don't actually know what they should be feeling, but they can't change the reality that the local population was and is ecstatic over the liberation of their city:

Prisoners being released from Assad's prison (filled with people he arrests for little to no reason):

Emotional reaction of this press correspondent on live TV as Idlib was liberated:

The founder of this news company outside of Syria is from Idlib. Here was his crew celebrating the news:

People in Idlib singing once it was liberated:

Celebrating in another city in Syria (Aleppo, the place currently being decimated by Assad/Russia):

As mentioned before, the world that essentially left the Syrians to fend for themselves against a genocidal dictator can shove it when trying to tell the Syrians that they (the world) know better than and know what's best for Syrians.

We'll see in a couple of weeks how they will be cheering when the first shariah beheadings take place, when the women are forced to wear bags over their heads, are no longer permitted to leave the house without a compagnon..

Rest assured, the euforia and delusion will soon enough make place for misery, suffering and oppression. And then they can go and join the rest of the refugees.

Meanwhile, you can keep on pretending that these radical islamists will hold free elections. lol, for crying out loud..........

yeah, the women seem very happy in those clips.

Aww, that's cute. It seems you haven't even read my posts (or the dates) on this thread or been keeping up with Syria but have such strong opinions.

It's been liberated for a bit more than a year now (since April 2015) and they still prefer the rebels over the regime.

This was 3 months after the liberation:

This is about 11 months after the liberation in a province of the governorate of Idlib (March 2016):

yeah, the women seem very happy in those clips.

Ow, wait.....

Yeah, wait. You forgot that Syria (the Sunni-majority parts anyway) is a largely conservative country and women generally do not intermingle with the men during large gatherings (where people are in close proximity to one another and physical contact is practically a given). In the above clip, however, you can see women clapping along from within a section of the protest as well as from above. Many women cover their faces in these types of gatherings or in front of the camera.

Before the regime occupied Idlib City, there was a demonstration against Assad in 2012. Even here (before the regime took it and the rebels took it back from them), you can see a separate block for women separating them from the men (and more women watching from balconies):

Do you not only want to impose your opinion on who and what the Syrians should be cheering, you want to dictate what the Syrian women and men perceive as modesty for themselves and what is appropriate in their religion?

If people are cheering al-nusra and are actually happy with them ruling them, then those people are the same caliber.

A region infested with extremism. It never ends well.

The heroes known as the White Helmets or the Syrian Civil Defense rescuing a boy trapped under the rubble due to Russian airstrikes. Deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

They have been going on rescue missions since the beginning of the Assad regime's/allies' atrocities and have lost many of their own workers and members of their own families. They and those who continue to fight for justice and the civilian population against Assad/allies have my respect.

This is from awhile back (May), but it remains important and it belongs in this thread:

The capture opens up an alternate supply route to rebel-held areas of the city, connecting it to areas of Idlib that are also opposition controlled.

Syria war: Rebels capture strategic Aleppo village

^Liberating Khan Touman was huge news and some were calling Khan Touman a graveyard for the Iranian fighters/extremists/terrorists (who kept trying to take it back, incurring heavy losses).

And about a month before that (April), rebels liberated Tal al-Eis:

Friday’s attacks took some of the territory gained by the pro-Assad forces in their offensives, enabled by Russian airstrikes, since October. The most significant gain was the town of Tal al-Eis, overlooking the Aleppo-to-Damascus highway.

Syria Daily, April 2: Rebels & Jabhat al-Nusra Advance South of Aleppo

They also liberated Khalidiya and Zara in that time period.

So much has happened that should've been posted on this thread but unfortunately I was too caught up in updating the Syria: Broken Nation thread and others. I'll post as much as I can recall later on, God-willing.

Despite the difficulties being faced right now with Aleppo besieged by the regime, there is always hope. Oct. 2015 and Jan. 2016 both seemed like such dark times but faith in God prevailed and the above victories occurred. The Syrian people continue to show admirable resistance and courage, often rooted in their belief in God's promises. As Muslims, we are told to never despair of the mercy of Allaah and to know that He keeps His promises. He also says,

If a wound should touch you - there has already touched the [opposing] people a wound similar to it. And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers (Surah Ale Imran 3:140)

So this keeps my hopes high even during times of increased turbulence.

Battle to liberate Aleppo from the clutches of the regime has begun:


God-willing the regime and its allies will be defeated.

 

[LoveBeingAMuslimah]

Impressive victories so far. It looks as if all of the rebels in the area have united and are fighting together. Many of the rebels fighting together liberated Idlib last year. God-willing they will liberate Aleppo this year.

They burned tires to block the view of aircrafts. Their own anti-aircraft weapons since people didn't seem very keen on providing the rebels with them.

#Syria: Opposition factions took control of Hikmah School. Heavy battles getting close to Ramouseh area. #Aleppo #Syria: Opposition factions took control of Tall Mutah. Reports saying another offensive launched at Castello Rd in north side of #Aleppo.

#Syria: Lack of support by #RuAF & #SyAAF due to smoke of burned tires by Opposition fighters in #Aleppo.

#Syria: Opposition factions took control of Tall Mahqurat, Tall Jamiyat and Amriyah village in South #Aleppo.

#Syria: Opposition controls most of al-Nasr area, and began to storm Mushrifeh village in South #Aleppo.

Sorry, I deselect the parent tweet in most cases but it still shows up. I'll link to the 'child' tweet so that both tweets I wanted appear. Look at the above map of the last tweet and see how close they are to uniting Aleppo provided all of this information is correct and the wins are not flimsy:

#Syria: Opposition factions took full control of al-Nasr area. Reports saying they are trying to enter #Hamdaniyah neighborhood. #Aleppo #Syria: Opposition advancing rapidly and took control of Mushrifeh village. Artillery College is the only remaining area to break the siege.

Regarding the burning of tires:
They are heroes

Looks like everyone is participating and united. All praises belong to Him.

lol, ain't nothin' gonna put a damper on this news today. As long as it's not Assad or his allies, ISIS, or warlord thugs in control, yesterday/today felt like 'Eid came early. I'm so ecstatic that this city is finally out of Assad's hands.

I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it. I have a feeling you have a much better idea of who are the dangers in this conflict than other posters here.

Thanks. It doesn't bother me too much in the sense that their opinions are largely inconsequential to the majority of Syrians who are fighting against Assad. It only bothers me that there is such apathy towards, or even encouraging of, injustice.

I still can't get over this; it's like straight out of a movie depicting the triumph of good over evil by all people through any means possible:

This is an amazing cartoon on the civilians and kids who burned tires in Aleppo yesterday to obscure warplanes
^I saw someone else say that these kids are more powerful than the UN. Ain't that the truth.
Besieged citizens in Aleppo make a DIY no-fly zone by burning tires & filling sky with smoke. #Syria

Judging by your own posts, you yourself are against the majority of Syrians. You're against Syrian rebels supported by the US, you're against the Kurds, you're against Syrian Arabs who support the government, which is a majority of the population. The only Syrians you seem to actually support are a handful of Sunni extremist groups. Maybe you actually support the plight of the civilians in the areas held by those extremists, but we don't know, since you have never shown any concern for the plight of civilians in the rest of Syria's war zones.
