Zoals
gezegd ook de reguliere media beginnen langzaam maar zeker met andere
woorden over deze terreurgroepen te schrijven, al zal het nog heel
wat tijd kosten voordat de massamedia hun toon zullen aanpassen....
Niet zo vreemd, immers daarmee geven die media organen aan dat ze in
feite vanaf het begin fout bezig zijn geweest en 'fake news' hebben gebracht.
Durden heeft het in het hieronder opgenomen artikel, volgens mij bij het verkeerde eind als hij stelt dat de Syrische provincie Idlib het laatste door terreurgroepen beheerst gebied is, immers in door de VS gecontroleerd gebied in het oosten van Syrië, worden terroristen van IS gedoogd en zelfs verdedigd door de VS*, mocht het Syrische leger een aanval inzetten (al is dit wel een andere situatie dan die in Idlib).

UK Finally Ditches ‘Moderate’ Syrian Rebels Ahead of Idlib Battle

(ZHE Op-ed) — CNN
warns that Syrian and Russian forces are
closing in on the “last
rebel stronghold” in Syria while characteristically
failing to inform its readers that the “rebel” coalition in
control of the northwest pocket of Idlib is but the latest
incarnation of al-Qaeda, calling itself Hay’at
Tahrir al-Sham.
With
the final major battle looming which could mark the ultimate end and
final chapter to the war, the
Western public is about to be subjected to a final end-all media
onslaught of “the last hospital” and “the last school” and
“the last humanitarian rescuers” type
stories similar to how
the media presented the battle for Aleppo in 2016.
Starting
this past weekend, the refrain started: “Humanitarian
groups fear a ‘bloodbath’ as
Assad looks to press the advantage and wipe out the last pockets
of resistance,” as NBC reported,
which was echoed across a dozen other outlets.
There’s
now even an Idlib version of “Bana” that
popped up on twitter only a month ago. Six-year old “Hala”
supposedly set up an account to
publish awareness videos telling the world to keep their “eyes on
Idlib” ahead of Assad’s impending military campaign.
However,
there are some few outlets out there that recently decided to
finally drop the worn out transparent charade of “moderate rebels”
and simply call Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham for what it is. Business
Insider,
for example, accurately
labels Hay’at
Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) a terrorist
group in
some of their recent headlines, and has
called the
al-Qaeda affiliate, “the
next ISIS”.
But
it appears that HTS is set to be wiped about before fully
establishing control as the
next ISIS as
Syrian government ground forces and the Russian Air Force have
already begun eroding their perimeters, which had been established
when al-Qaeda first took Idlib city and much of the surrounding
province in 2015, with US and UK coalition help.
Over
the past days and weeks, massive
Syrian troop and heavy armor deployments have been seen amassing
outside the al-Qaeda held province,
poised for a final offensive. This after Syria’s southern
Daraa and Quneitra provinces were liberated in a mere matter of
weeks.
But
perhaps the greatest sign that the writing is on the wall for
Syria’s “the last rebel stronghold” (to repeat CNN’s
words),
there are new
reports that Britain has cut off its longtime support to the
“moderate rebels” it
has for years throughout the war funded and armed.
The UK government is to end funding to a scheme to support the Syrian opposition, deeming the programmes now too risky to operate as the final rebel-held areas face imminent attack from Bashar al-Assad’s forces….
While humanitarian support will continue, the ending of this governance programme is highly symbolic, suggesting Britain has accepted that the Syrian opposition, which it has backed since the early days of the civil war in 2012 to 2013, is facing imminent defeat from a combination of Syrian regime forces and Russian airstrikes.
On
Monday a UK government spokesperson confirmed the following: “As
the situation on the ground in some regions has become increasingly
difficult we
have reduced support for some of our non-humanitarian programming,
but continue to deliver vital support to help those most in need and
to improve security and stability in the country,” according
to Reuters.
This
is in essence the
UK finally admitting its side has lost — though
we should note its “humanitarian funding” will continue to flow
to controversial groups like the ‘White Helmets’, who have long
been proven to
work in tandem with al-Qaeda.
