Hello viewers: Today is Dec 7, Saturday, and we are back again with another edition of our show where we discuss the overall political situation of the world, the major world events, and the kind of world we live in today, it invariably affects the lives of all the people in the world.
Again today, because of the importance of the Syrian Conflict, which has been reignited, deliberately I would say, since it has been dormant for the last at least eight year, when Russia, along with Iran, and the Lebanese Resistance, and the Syrian Army, had driven these so-called Islamic Militiants or Rebels out of Alleppo and Damascus, and confined them to Idlib Province North of Syria which borders Turkey.
These rebels which is now advertised to the world as HTS, Hayat ul Tahreer al Sham, translated in English as Organization of the Liberation of Levant is a rebrand, recouped, refurbished, rearmed version of Al Qaeda, or part of Al Qaeda. The person who is posited to lead this group is known as Muhammmed Al Joulani. Before I go further I just want to give my audiene little bit of history of this mysterious person called Joulani.
His father, I mean Joulani’s father, was a part of the Senior of the Assad’s establishment, an advisor to Senior Assad, I mean Hafiz Assad, the deceased father of the current the President, Bassar Ul Assad. Its been reported that Joulani’s father had worked sometime in Saudia Arabia as a petroleum engineer. His father than returned home from Saudia Arabia. After 9/11, but perhaps after the establishment of Al Qaeda’s base in Iraq, after the US invasion of Iraq, sometime in 2004 he moved to Iraq and became part of Al Qaeda. In 2006 he was detained by the US armed forces in Camp Bucca until 2006. He spent five years there, where he is known to develop with other members of the Jihadi Organization.
The story then becomes extremely interesting and murky also. In 2011, he is released from the US Camp Bucca, and he decided, out of nowhere, may be dream from Allah, that the place to start and wage is home in Syria, and to overthrow Assad’s regime. He became part first of Al Nusra Front in 2014-15, which renounced the global jihadi mission, and formed this organisation, Nusra, and focused mainly in overthrowing Assad. Then I guess in 2016, he formed his own organization, a breakaway from Nusra Front, called HTS.
Now the question is who is backing these rebels: (i) Turkey is openly backing these rebels ; and Turkey is the biggest NATO army after the US ; and it openly hates Assad’s regime ; (ii) Ukrainian intelligence had admitted, as the report shows you on the screen, the Kyiv Post, has admitted, that Ukraine is providing intelligence support to the same organization HTS ; now Ukraine, cannot provide decent electricity to its citizens, cannot pay their bills, this completely dependent on the support of the US Government and and its Europeans allied. Do you for a bit assume that Ukraine is pumping and blowing this balloon of these Syrian Te
