Le groupe Ahrar al-sham sérieusement tiraillé entre un fraction pro-al-Qaïda, et une autre, plus de la ligne des Frères musulmans (paraît-il).

Sur les finasseries idéologiques d’Ahrar (qui font le miel des islmo-jihadologues), dont un des leaders, Ali al-Omar a présenté récemment l’idéologie comme la 5e école de l’islamisme, distincte des FM et du salafisme-jihadiste, tout en partageant les buts ultimes : un Etat islamique puis le rétablissement du califat) :

▻http://archive.is/GsFmrAli Al Omar, the group’s deputy leader, answered some of these questions during an hour-long talk he gave on Friday, titled “The Place of Ahrar Al Sham among Islamist Currents". Three points stand out.
First, Mr Al Omar begins the insightful talk by laying outmain Islamist movements that emerged after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. He says all the four movements differ in their approach but agree on the objective, which is the restoration of the Islamic caliphate.
Two of these movements, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Tablighi Jamaat, seek to establish the caliphate without stating that as their goal, through political participation and proselytisation respectively. The failure of those movements, he says, led to the rise of a third one: jihadism.
Ahar Al Sham belongs to a new movement that sees merits in each of the movements he mentioned. The group combines, rather than departs from, the approaches of all of its predecessors. Significantly, he points out that the difference between Ahrar Al Sham and jihadists is that the group does more than just jihad. The difference between the two is not that jihad is a temporary tactic for them, he says. That is a key clarification because some observers think that Ahrar Al Sham’s engagement in armed struggle is dictated by the reality in Syria, as the war against the regime rages.
The group’s position on jihad is heavily shaped by Salafi-jihadism, which views jihad as a goal in and of itself. According to a recent 78-page study by Ahmad Abazeid, one of the group’s closest observers, the group “adopts the writings of Salafi-jihadism in its training camps and discourse".
A second point that stands out from Mr Al Omar’s lecture is his group’s real stance on political participation. He explains that Ahrar Al Sham’s participation in political talks, conferences or pacts is designed as a form of “takhtheel" – disruption or subversion.
This is a telling statement, considering that it is such “flexibility" that led many to rethink the group’s ideology and to conclude that it broke away from Salafi-jihadism – the “crucible from which it emerged", in the words of one of its media activists.
Third, Mr Al Omar singles out the Taliban as a model worth following. This is the second time the group has officially praised the Taliban in this way. Last August, Ahrar Al Sham paid a tribute to the Taliban’s dead leader Mullah Omar, describing him as “the happy emir" and his group as “the blessed movement".Et du même auteur :
▻http://timep.org/commentary/jihadist-legacy-still-shapes-ahrar-al-shamA mon humble avis ces finasseries traduisent plus les hésitations tactiques d’Ahrar dans un conflit dont les règles politiques (cessation hostilités et ses règles des cibles légitimes) ne sont pas claires et font l’enjeu de négociations entre acteurs extérieurs Le grand écart entre al-Qaïda et le fait d’être théoriquement partie prenante à genève ne sera peut-être pas éternellement possible...

Abdullah Suleiman Ali: Syria’s Southern Front shows signs of disintegration
▻http://assafir.com/Article/50/449782/RssFeedThe military operation in the northern suburb of Quneitra, code-named “Give Good Tidings to the Patient," is the last indication that the Southern Front is still alive and has not breathed its last yet.
All indications and information coming from the Syrian south’s capital show that this front has entered a dark era since the MOC [Military Operations Center in Jordan] washed its hands clean of it and decided to stop supporting it. As a result of the tensions between the armed factions — which suddenly found themselves out of work — the polarization attempts of some extremist factions and reconciliation attempts with the Syrian army, we can say that the Southern Front is witnessing the first signs of disintegration and division. It is likely that radical changes will affect the structure of its factions and the nature of its alliances soon.
This new situation has had a negative effect on security and livelihoods in Daraa governorate, after the MOC stopped its work. Disputes prevailed in the relations between factions and local parties supporting them. This was obvious in the increasing assassinations that claimed the lives of a significant number of military, judicial and Sharia leaders, mainly the Dawn of Freedom Brigades’ leader Yasser al-Khalaf, House of Justice deputy leader Sheikh Bashar Kamel al-Naimi and the assassination attempt of Ansar al-Islam deputy leader Abu Bilal al-Joulani.
The conduct of some factions raised questions about their motives and reasoning. For instance, why did Al-Mothana Islamic Movement — one of the largest factions in the south — refrain from participating in the recent military operations? This caught the attention of some activists and made them wonder about the movement’s inclinations and the possibility that it might have secretly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Al-Mothana Islamic Movement had declared in a past statement that the allegiance pledges that IS receives in the areas under its control are Sharia-compliant ones.
A media activist told As-Safir, “After the MOC suspended its work and halted supplies, several leaders and militants withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their civil lives. They felt frustrated, and gave up their weapons.”
He asserted that “most of these leaders are seeking asylum in Europe to escape the deteriorating security situation, and they are afraid of being targets of upcoming assassinations.” He added that “the leader of Usud al-Sunna Battalion, who is called Abu Amr Zaghloul, has reached Germany asking for asylum.”
According to @saleelalmajd, a Twitter account that is widely followed, a number of factions from the Southern Front secretly pledged allegiance to Ahrar al-Sham, but will be announced later on. For their part, the Hawks of Houran Brigade and the Majd al-Islam Brigade announced that they joined Jaish al-Islam headed by Zahran Alloush.

Incidemment, l’accusation du Hezbollah en Bulgarie, mis en cause par l’ancien ministre de l’intérieur Tsvetan Tsvetanov, s’effondre : Bulgarian police seize 350,000 ’fake’ ballots.
▻http://www.aljazeera.com/video/europe/2013/05/2013511165252491385.htmlPrivate BGNES news agency named the party as Borisov’s GERB, whose deputy leader Tsvetanov headed the interior ministry until GERB’s ousting from power in end-February.
The prosecution did not comment on this information.
The allegations come at an awkward time for Tsvetanov, already embroiled in late April in a scandal about alleged illegal wiretapping of the party’s opponents and businesspeople.
