The head of #Iraqi intelligence, Hamid al-Shatri, tells Washington post that in a little over a year, the ranks of ISIS fighters have grown from 2000 to 10000. According to him, militants who joined ISIS in #Syria over the past year include men once aligned with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.

Plainly wrong! #SDF areas were under international sanctions like the rest of #Syria, plus they faced Turkish attacks & attacks by Turkey-backed forces. They couldn't refine oil, so sold it cheap. And your "insane money" went to salaries & guarding/feeding ISIS prisoners!

هذه الانشائية في لغة الوزير مرعبة في تفاهتها. هذة لغة الفاشيين العرب الذين يتغنون بالأخوة في خطاباتهم بينما يقومون بعمليات التهجير والتغيير الديموغرافي والذبح على أرض الواقع. ما فعله مقاتلون تابعون لحكومتك في حلب وقبلها في عفرين أحدثت شرخا واسعا في هذه الأخوة ليس من السهل ردمها.

On October 28, #Iraq's Committee for Freezing Terrorists' Assets issued a list designating Lebanon's Hezbollah & Yemen's Houthis as "terrorist organizations." Today, nearly a month & a half later, Iraq retracted the decision, stating the listing was issued "mistakenly."

Today, journalist Sherwan Sherwani was sentenced in #Erbil to 4.5 additional years in prison for allegedly insulting/ threatening a prison officer. The sentence brazenly exceeds the 2 yr maximum stipulated in article 229 of the 1969 #Iraqi Penal Code under which he was convicted.

Now we raid them! So they don't raid us. These are the words of the member of the Supreme Committee for the Preservation of Civil Peace in #Syria blessing the tribes' mobilization and their attack on Suwayda. He says they have taught the enemy a lesson!

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since PKK fighters burned their weapons in a peace gesture, and Turkey has already resumed bombing #Iraqi #Kurdistan.

Look at her face, look closely, and remember it. What you see isn’t merely the face of a fighter bidding a sad farewell to her arm, it’s the face of a dream yet to be realized, of a just cause that never stops believing in #freedom and #equality.

Miami Republican & Trump supporter Angie Wong: They’re concerned about their safety living here with a Muslim mayor
Abby Phillip: Hold on
20 second later...
Wong: It's not about his fate!
Too late, the Islamophobic fearmongering button’s been smashed & the MAGA crowd is losing it.

يبدو إن عقلية الكثير من ساسة السنة في #العراق لا تستطيع مغادرة المركزية. لو كانت السلطة في #العراق بيد هذا الرجل لجعلها مركزية صارمة على غرار الثمانينيات، واستكثر حتى "الحكم الذاتي" على الكورد.

Despite the PKK's announcement of its disbandment on May 12, Turkey has continued its bombardment of #Iraqi #Kurdistan. This video, filmed on May 15 by locals in the Matin mountain area of Amedi district, was originally shared on Kamaran Osman FB page.

In a fitting finale to years of bloodshed & geopolitical chaos in the Middle East, President #Trump appears to be concluding the official U.S. discourse on the war on terrorism & inventing a new Halal حلال discourse by praising the new #Syria leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, as a “young, attractive guy.”
