Quel sera le thème des manifestations spontanées de vendredi prochain? Syria protesters brave streets after five years of carnage

In an echo of the 2011 mass protests that swept Syria before the uprising degenerated into civil war, some towns have even revived the custom of naming their Friday demonstrations; last week’s theme was: “By unifying our ranks we will topple Assad”.

[…]

Like most other things in Syria, protests have changed over five years. One activist from northern Idlib province said he has become disillusioned by their politicisation. “We used to go out and protest without anyone asking us, or telling us what to do,” says Abu Mohammed, who asked not to be identified by his real name. “Now it is all politicised . . .  whatever backer is giving the opposition money influences what we name our Friday.”

Dans la presse jordanienne à propos de la récente conférence de Riyadh
Source : revue de presse de l’Ambassade de France en Jordanie

Mohammed Abu Rumman (GD) : Abu Mohammed Al-Joulani, le Chef du Jabhat Al-Nusra n’a pas tardé à rejeter les décisions de la conférence de Ryad en jurant d’empêcher leur application sur le terrain. Il n’y a là rien de surprenant, quand on connait connaît l’idéologie de cette organisation et ses liens avec Al-Qaeda. L’ambiguïté, en revanche, entoure la position du principal allié d’Al-Nusra, l’organisation d’Ahrar Al-Sham. Plusieurs de ses dirigeants ont refusé les décisions de Riyad, mais son responsable extérieur Labib Nahhas les a approuvées, preuve –s’il en est– que la réalité du terrain est bien différente de ce qui se décide lors les conférences internationales.

Manar Rashwani (GD) : Si la réaction de Jabhat al-Nusra aux décisions de Ryad ne surprendra personne, celle de la Russie, elle, n’est pas sans étonner. Pour Moscou, l’opposition syrienne est intégralement constituée de mouvements terroristes et sur le terrain, ses bombardements visent essentiellement les forces de l’opposition et non pas Daesh. Il semble, de toute façon, que tous ces États cherchent moins à abattre le terrorisme qu’à l’exploiter pour servir leurs propres intérêts.

Internal divisions lead to ’hemorrhaging’ of Jabhat al-Nusra leaders
▻http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/security/2015/07/syria-jabhat-al-nusra-dismissal-leaders-secrets.html

The dismissal of leaders within Jabhat al-Nusra continues. The latest chapter of this saga is the decision to dismiss one of its first seven founders, Abu Mohammed Saleh al-Hamwi. According to leaks supported by earlier data, the decision also included Iraqi national Abu Maria al-Qahtani, one of Jabhat al-Nusra’s most prominent media officials. Moreover, a few months ago, news published by As-Safir about the defection of Jabhat al-Nusra general military commander Abu Samir al-Urdoni and his joining the Islamic State (IS) was confirmed.

(En ce moment, il y a une nouvelle #théorie_du_complot qui explique que si tous ces braves rebelles « modérés » rejoignent ISIS, c’est à cause de l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien. Cet article permet de constater que, hé ben non.)

Grotesque festival de propagande en faveur d’Al-Qaeda sur Aljazeera :
▻http://angryarab.blogspot.fr/2015/05/the-grotesque-pro-al-qaidah-festival-on.html

▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQE7pBBZExY

You have to watch this pro-Al-Qa‘idah festival on Aljazeera TV. Unbelievable. The host and the guest, Ahmad Zaydan (the notorious Pakistan correspondent of Aljazeera—I almost said of Al-Qa‘idah) basically promotes Al-Qa‘idah in all its branches to the viewers. He at one point was talking about Bin Laden and his comrades and the simplicity of their lifestyle and said: “we used to eat bread and tea” but then quickly corrected himself. He refers to Sep, 11 terrorism on the US as "Ghazwah 11 Aylul (or Conquest of Sep. 11) which is the official name used by Al-Qa‘idah. He said that Ayman Dhawahiri is now like the Queen of England, who does not rule—kid you not. There was a Lebanese guest who was opposed to this propaganda but he was not allowed to speak. They also invited a guest from WINEP to have him agree that Nusrah Front is now an acceptable moderate political party. You have to watch it to believe it. They even promoted the rule of Nusrah and the treatment of minorities by them in “liberated territories”. I have not been watching Aljazeera and could not believe how much it has changed. There is not even a semblance of professionalism and no, the network was not like this all along.

PS Zaydan said twice that Nusrah at the level of leaders took a decision to sever ties with Al-Qa‘idah but never explained why that was announced as the Qatari regime wanted for PR purposes.

Jordanians have played a central role in al-Nusra Front since its inception. After the “jihadist divorce” between al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and #syria (ISIS), Jordanian emigrants have enjoyed the lion’s share of power in the group’s chain of command.

#ISIS accuses #al-Qaeda of betrayal

A powerful rival organization has accused al-Qaeda leaders of betraying the jihadist cause, in the latest widening of divisions rooted in #syria's civil war. “Al-Qaeda today is no longer a base of jihad,” Islamic State of #Iraq and Syria (ISIS) spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani said in a statement posted on jihadist forums. “Its leadership has become a hammer to break the project of the Islamic State,” Adnani said, adding that “the leaders of al-Qaeda have deviated from the correct path.” "They have divided the ranks of the mujahideen (holy warriors) in every place," he said. read more
