A Happy AQ Warrior On Syrian Victory

by Oui Sun Mar 9th, 2025 at 07:30:55 AM EST

Thousands of Tunisian Islamists were transported via Libya into Antalya Türkiye to overthrow Assad killing 100s of thousands until halted by Russia AF and (brutal) mercenaries ... did end the mass slaughter by America's Al Qaeda affiliated proxies coming from Anbar province and rolled into Syria along the Euphrates valley destroying all in its path.

Also created the waves of war refugees and displaced persons causing a surge to populism, rightwing extremism, xenophobia and Islamophobia ... ultimately a fascist nationalist movement and war in Europe. No end to conflicts in sight, nor the peace human kind deserves. Damn you America and its impunity executing decades of war crimes (half a century across the globe) and undermining the Charter of the United Nations, its institutions for humanitarian aid and deceiving the ICJ. The humanity of billions are thrown onto the trash heap of the powerful and super, super wealthy. The Ugly American ... hars economic sanctions too are war crimes. Read the lips of Madeleine Albright and Victoria Nuland. Equality between men and women has been illustrated here.

Instigated Revolutions Turn Into Chaos and Instability


Pitfalls and Promises : Security Implications of a Post-revolutionary Middle East | CSIS Canada - Sept. 2014 |

The 2011 popular uprisings that sought to unseat authoritarian leaders across the Middle East and North Africa have set in motion profound transformations. Where leaders have fallen, in Tunisia, Libya or Egypt, the uprisings have resulted in diverse and divergent outcomes.

While Tunisia appears engaged in a contested yet steady process of institutional change, the transitional process in Libya is threatening to collapse under the weight of a fierce power struggle between elites. In Egypt, the first democratically elected Islamist president was removed from power by the country's military with the support of a fragile coalition of secular forces, religious minorities and Salafists. President Morsi was replaced by the former head of the Egyptian armed forces, thus seemingly reverting to the time-honoured pattern of installing the military at the helm of the state.

Where regimes have remained in power, as in Syria or Bahrain, the outcomes were also varied. Syria descended into civil war; Bahrain managed to suppress the mobilisation of its Shia population. Elsewhere across the region--as in Iraq, Lebanon or Jordan--populations may not have come together to depose their ruling elites, but the uprisings have (re)-activated societal fault lines.

Spoiling the Gaza Ceasefire by Aaron Y. Zelin - 26 Nov 2012 |

Publication: Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP)

This thoroughfare between the Sinai and Gaza amongst jihadis highlights the growing nexus of terror emanating from the two locations. The destabilization of the Sinai after the 2011 Egyptian uprising has helped Gazan jihadis regroup after suppression at the hands of Hamas when jihadis in the past attempted to challenge Hamas' power in the Gaza Strip.

Therefore, it is possible that if Hamas attempts to implement the new ceasefire, Gaza-based jihadis will further embed themselves in the Northern Sinai safe haven. And while tensions have flared between Hamas and the various jihadi factions in Gaza since Hamas took power, Hamas has also looked the other way following the 2008-2009 war when different jihadis launched rockets into Israel. Both possibilities do not bode well for the sustainability of the ceasefire.

Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi and Islamic State in Sinai

Mohamed Morsi wash freed from prison by Islamists from Sinai at start of Arab revolt of Egypt to oust Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule. Mubarak succeeded Anwar Sadat after his assassination at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood with links to Al-Zawahiri who later teamed up with Saudi citizen Osama Bin Laden with Yemeni roots, to form Al Qaida, the Base. Journey to Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan to settle in safe haven Afghanistan. Brzezinski helped the Saudi jihadist to defeat the Soviet occupation forces in the 1980s. Foreign policy 👍

Morsi was born in the Sharqiya Governorate in northern Egypt on 8 August 1951, and in the late 1960s, he moved to Cairo to study at Cairo University where he earned a degree in engineering with high honors in 1975.

Uyghur Dissent and Militancy in China's Xinjiang Province

In July 2009, communal rioting unsettled the provincial capital Urumqi in China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region (XAR). The rioting, between Uyghurs--a largely Sunni Muslim and ethnic Turkic minority group--and Han Chinese, highlighted the contentious position of ethnic Uyghurs in China and the underlying tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang in particular.

The worst spate of ethno-sectarian strife in China in decades was sparked by a confrontation between Uyghur migrant workers and Han Chinese at a toy factory in Guangdong Province in southeastern China that left two Uyghurs dead. Subsequent public demonstrations by Uyghurs in Xinjiang protesting the government's handling of the incident spiraled into violence. Approximately 192 people were killed--two-thirds of whom were Han--and thousands more injured on both sides in the ensuing chaos that captured international attention.

Xinjiang's Uyghurs consider themselves the targets of a systematic campaign of state discrimination and repression aimed at destroying Uyghur identity and culture and undermining Uyghur rights in Xinjiang. Uyghur nationalists refer to Xinjiang as East Turkistan or Uyghuristan, and it is a region they consider their ancestral homeland. For Uighurs, Beijing's decision to raze the Old City in Kashgar, the Uyghur cultural capital and a key stop on the Silk Route, and to build new structures in its place is emblematic of China's hostility toward them. China has long regarded popular expressions of social and political dissent and the vocalization of grievances by Uyghur s as a threat to domestic stability. China also perceives the history of Uyghur separatist sentiments and activities, to include two short-lived periods of independence in the 20th century and incidences of terrorist violence and persistent political activism, as a threat to its territorial sovereignty.
