The militants in Idlib share power and bring closer the time of their destruction
The leadership of the Khayyat Tahrir Al-Sham association, headed by Abu Muhammad Giulani, seeks to completely subjugate individual groups.
One of the victims of the raider capture in Idlib became the group Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, led by field commander Abu Salah.
By the leadership of Khayyat Tahrir Al-Sham Abu Salah, he was removed from the post of leader Tawhid wal Jihad. However, he retained the position of spiritual mentor and chief adviser to the group. The new leader is a certain Abdul Aziz Damlu. At his invitation, a new religious leader of the group, Ahlidin Novkatia, arrived in Syria from Turkey. The renewed leadership of Tawhid wal Jihad launched a campaign to discredit former group leader Abu Salah.
On this basis, there was a split “Tawheed wal Jihad”, which acquired all the signs of ethnicity. The Kyrgyz stood on the side of Abu Salah, the Uzbeks and Tajiks sided with the new leader Abdul Aziz Damlu. Those who supported Abu Salah accused the new leadership of incompetence, which led to enormous losses. In the winter of 2019–2020. Tawhid Val Jihad lost in battle more than a hundred militants.
According to available information, Abu Salah is busy creating a new group in the territory of Idlib — “Jaysh Muhajireen.” He is actively conducting propaganda work among foreign militant terrorists who disagree with the policies of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and other groups in Idlib.
Attempts by Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and Turkey to crush independent jihadists in Idlib lead to the fact that militants who disagree with this policy are united in a new formation. They are already hostile not only to natural enemies in the person of the army of Syria and the Islamic State, but also to their former allies. Under these conditions, the Turkish army and their proxies will not be able to prove fulfillment of their obligations to Moscow to separate moderate militants from terrorists, and to create conditions to prevent the Syrian government forces from attacking in Idlib.
