CNN journalists are wizards, able to transform a wanted Jihadist into a nice and moderate Syrian rebel, whose goal is to overthrow Bashar Assad

Since Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan in the 80s, the Jihadists are auxiliaries of the West, for the enforcement of Western hegemony. They are usually wrecking havoc in the countries opposed to the US and its stooges. Their relationship is alternately flaming and cooling.

Cooling on September 11, 2001, or when the new Caliphate [a reference to the former Ottoman Caliphate, the new one is also called ISIS], a dissent from al Qaeda in 2013, started threatening Western interests. Cooling when France, one of the most hysterical support of the Islamist uprising against the secular government in Syria, underwent collateral damage on November 13, 2015, in Paris.

Muhammad al Julani was already an executive of the organization when Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State (ISI), Iraqi branch of al Qaeda, detached him in Syria as commander of Jabhat al Nusra [Front for the Conquest of the Levant], its subsidiary there, in the context of the Islamist uprising which had broken in 2011. Out of personal ambition, Baghdadi seceded from al Qaeda in 2013, was appointed leader of a new Caliphate (ISIS) in June 2014, a few weeks after an incredible victory in Mosul, Iraq. Julani did not follow him, remained stand alone leader of al Qaeda in Syria.

In collaboration with Hezbollah, Iran and Russia, Syria managed to defeat the Islamist uprising in 2020, but Turkey and NATO prevented the government from finishing the job. The Jihadists remained in Idlib pocket, under Western umbrella, when other defeated groups, settled in northern Syria, where they became auxiliaries of Recep Erdogan’s Neo-Ottoman Turkey.
