Quand ça devient vraiment trop évident, tu peux encore écrire : « alliance inhabituelle »…

L’alliance inhabituelle entre le groupe Etat islamique et le Front al-Nosra, la branche syrienne d’al-Qaïda, a permis aux jihadistes de s’emparer de la quasi-totalité du camp palestinien de Yarmouk, composé de 18 000 habitants et situé à sept kilomètres environ du centre de Damas.

L’OSDH, une organisation proche de l’opposition syrienne, indique que l’EI et le front Al-Nosra , émanation d’Al-Qaida, rivaux dans le reste de la Syrie, ont avancé au cours de la nuit.
De plus, ils sont aussi alliés dans le Qalamoun. Au moins.
Dans un article très peu cité (et pour cause), les Saoud se vantent ouvertement de soutenir al-Nusra et similaires

Mr. Khashoggi, the Saudi editor, argued that Saudi Arabia’s own campaign to push back against Iran without waiting for the Americans was showing signs of success. Saudi Arabian and Turkish sponsors, he said, had backed the coalition of jihadist groups that recently captured the Syrian city of Idlib in the first major victory in months against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
One participant in the coalition was the Nusra Front, the Syrian arm of Al Qaeda, a terrorist group in the eyes of the West. But members of the jihadi coalition “are the ones who captured Idlib, it is an important development, and I think we are going to see more of that,” Mr. Khashoggi said. “Coordination between Turkish and Saudi intelligence has never been as good as now.”

The Syrian government last week accused Turkey of helping thousands of jihadi fighters to reach Idlib and of jamming Syrian army telecommunications, which helped to undermine the defences of the city.
In the Middle East, our enemy’s enemy must be our friend

Saudi sources revealed that Saudi Arabia and Turkey had both given their backing to Jabhat al-Nusra and other extreme jihadis in seizing Idlib.
Saudi Arabia and other Sunni states seem intent on rebranding Jabhat al-Nusra and its clones as wholly different from Islamic State (Isis) and therefore acceptable as a potential ally.
Al-Nusra may not publicly revel in its own atrocities as does Isis, but otherwise it differs little from it in ideology and tactics.
Created by Isis in 2012, it split from the parent movement and fought a bloody inter-rebel civil war against it in early 2014, but today there are worrying signs of cooperation. According to accounts from the Syrian opposition, it was al-Nusra that allowed Isis fighters to take over in recent days most of Yarmouk Palestinian camp a few miles from the centre of Damascus .
