>Libya strongman asks Europe for helicopters to fight migration
Libyan military strongman Khalifa Haftar asked Europe for helicopters and drones to fight rampant migration on the southern border of the war-wracked country.
The request came after the commander, who backs a Tobruk-based administration that controls much of the east and south of Libya, travelled to Rome and Paris to bolster his stature as a key player in international efforts to stabilise the country.
"When it comes to controlling the southern border, my forces can supply the personnel but you Europeans must send help: drones, helicopters, night vision and vehicles," Haftar said in an interview published Friday in Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
>Yemen cholera cases could hit 1 million by year-end: Red Cross
he humanitarian situation in Yemen is a "catastrophe", and cholera cases could reach a million by the end of the year, the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Friday.
Warring parties in Yemen - including the western-backed Saudi-led coalition - are all using disproportionate force, leading to "very excessive" civilian casualties, said Alexandre Faite, the head of the Red Cross delegation in Yemen.
In addition, suspected cases of cholera have reached 750,000, with 2,119 deaths, Faite said, and the Red Cross expects at least 900,000 cases by the end of the year.
"The situation has really evolved in a very dramatic way and I think that it's nothing short of a catastrophe," Faite told a news briefing in Geneva.
Just getting home for uni, hows the situation looking for the SAA? judging by hoholmaps they've mostly recaptured the road but briefly were getting JUSTed hard enough they lost T3, which is top tier incompetence desu plus they're having to redeploy the Tigers back to Deir, which makes you wonder why they sent them to Idlib in the first place the retards

>Turkey gives Russia advance payment for S-400 missiles - TASS
Russia has received an advance payment from Turkey for S-400 surface-to-air missile systems which Ankara is buying from Moscow, Kremlin aide Vladimir Kozhin said on Friday, the TASS news agency reported.
He also said, according to TASS, that Turkey would like to take delivery of the missile system before 2019. “The issue is under discussion,” Kozhin was quoted as saying. archive.is/LyD5x

>US says 50 civilians killed in Iraq, Syria
The US-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants, which includes Australia, has confirmed that another 50 civilians have been killed in strikes in Iraq and Syria.
This raises the total number of civilians it has killed to 735 since the conflict began in 2014.
The coalition said in a statement on Friday that during August, it had assessed 185 reports of civilian casualties and found that the additional 50 deaths occurred in 14 incidents that it deemed were credible. archive.is/vKtEp

>Captured ISIS Fighter Confesses He Works For U.S. Government
Warfare Worldwide organization released a video, where an ISIS fighter from Deir Ezzor had told some shocking details about U.S.-ISIS collusion.
According to Mohammed Moussa al-Shawwakh, the U.S. and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) guaranteed to protect them from the SAA and its allies in exchange for entering gas and oil fields in the region in order to make propaganda videos. Al-Shawwakh said that such kind of cooperation had acted in the Conoco gas field, allegedly captured by the SDF. The fighter added that according to the agreements, ISIS terrorists were forbidden to attack Kurdish forces in Deir Ezzor.
>A day later, Arab Today posted another video, where an ISIS terrorist had confirmed the cooperation between the U.S.-back Kurdish forces and ISIS. Mohammed Hussein al-Hamad said that similar arrangements were followed by Kurds during the ‘liberation’ of the al-Izba and Jafra oil fields. Besides, al-Hamad said that the SDF forces had often delivered the U.S.-made weapons to ISIS terrorists.
These statements, in turn, explain such an active advance of U.S.-backed formations along the left bank of the Euphrates towards Deir Ezzor. In addition, it becomes clear why all the positions seized by Kurds usually remain untouched after their ‘fierce battles’ against ISIS.
Business. Despite I think that turks must be genocided I don't think it is wrong to sell them our weapons.

Excessive amounts of collateral damage(aka dead civvies) will breed ground for hatred against you. In a region with Jihadism, this is rather bad news. I think the best way is to limit collateral damage and quickly rehab the destroyed towns. That way, the inhabitants will turn loyal and faithful to you

Why the cost? Is it mostly manufacturing, or mostly the rockets themselves? Aslo how different are the prices for domestic market and for export? I assume export versions are downgraded.

>American national security policy needs to get ready for ISIS 2.0
Both the United States and its counter-ISIS coalition have myopically focused on the military objective of quickly re-taking territory in Syria and Iraq — at the expense of governance and a coherent political context that can sustain the gains made on the ground.
Has U.S. policy been so focused on the battle to re-take territory from ISIS, and arming proxy forces to do the heavy lifting on the ground, that we have lost sight of the strategic context in the long war?
>When I traveled to Iraq and the region in 2016, our senior military and diplomatic leaders expressed to me that they were already asking themselves this type of question and contemplating what they could do to limit the role of Shia militias, integrate the Sunni populations in Iraq, and decrease our reliance on Syrian Kurdish forces to re-take Raqqa.
But as we look at how our policy has unfolded over the last year and a half, we have done exactly the opposite.
The influence and role of Shia militias, including those backed by Iran, have only increased. The Sunni populations in Iraq and Syria remain disaffected and disenfranchised. And we have only doubled down on arming and employing the Syrian Kurds as the dominant fighting force to re-take Raqqa.
>What’s more, to further complicate the strategic context, Iraqi Kurds have now taken the non-binding, yet provocative, step of holding a referendum on independence, potentially distracting counter-ISIS efforts, further destabilizing Iraqi politics, and provoking counter-productive reactions from regional actors.
Meanwhile, ISIS maintains its international network of cells beyond Syria and Iraq, including Yemen, Afghanistan, the Sinai in Egypt, the Philippines, and Libya.

Ayden Johnson
The United States cannot have a military-only approach to combat ISIS 2.0. The military can kill ISIS operatives, but it can’t kill an idea.
The United States must make stability within the greater Middle East a strategic focus. We must employ a state-based strategy, focused on reducing competition among states in the region, sovereignty, and functional governance.
We have learned the hard way that the world of virtual caliphates, ungoverned spaces, and dysfunctional governance can and will have a consequential impact on the United States and its interests.
If the United States does not broaden the strategic aperture and focus of U.S. policy in the Middle East, beyond simply re-taking territory from ISIS and counterterrorism strikes, then we may find ourselves having to do Syria and Iraq all over again in the future — perhaps in even more locations.

>About 500 French children in jihadi-held areas of Iraq and Syria - official
Some 700 French adults, one-third of them women, and about 500 children are in jihadi-held areas in Iraq and Syria, an official at the French president’s office said on Friday, raising potential legal challenges over how to handle them.
The presidency official said that half of the 500 children were born there, and in total about 2,000 French nationals or residents had gone to the two countries, of whom between 200 and 300 had been killed.

Tyler Wilson
So.. You may not believe or ask for sources but I'm willing to share it anyway. US intelligence (he says "spetsnaz", so maybe SOFs? Or CIA?) organized the attack on 29 Russian MPs in Hama lately. It was to be a bargain chip, that is taking them alive and holding hostage. Now it's indeed confirmed 850 casualties taken by jihadis, plus dozens of militants and 5 masterminds of the operation (US spies riddled within jihadis) dead in air strikes. US had the information where Asapov and 2 colonels were located and passed this information to the Islamic State as a revenge (seriously... not even joking) and they targeted it with mortars striking perfectly and causing his death.

An Australian jihadist detained by Turkey last year on charges of joining Islamic State [IS] group in Syria said at his trial on Thursday he regretted his involvement with the organisation after seeing its "true face". Neil Prakash, who was detained one year ago inside Turkey close to the Syrian border, is jailed in the Gaziantep region of southern Turkey.
However, his trial, which got under way earlier this year, is being held in the neighbouring Kilis region, with Prakash being cross-examined via video link.
In his testimony, Prakash said he said received training from IS in its de-facto capital of Raqqa in Syria before moving north to the town of Kobane to fight Kurdish militia.
He was wounded in the fighting and then requested to be moved to another area where he did not have to fight.
"But I went to Raqqa and was told I had to fight," he said, quoted by the Turkish-language Dogan news agency. "I was also made to speak in propaganda videos.
"I decided to escape after seeing the true face" of IS, he added. "I very much regret joining the organisation," he said.
Prakash denied being the Australian "representative" of IS in Syria and asked to be released and deported to a Muslim country and not Australia. However the court decided to keep him in custody, Dogan news agency said.
The trial was adjourned to an unspecified later date.
Australia last year had asked Turkey to extradite Prakash, who Canberra previously had reported as having been killed in a US airstrike in northern Iraq.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has called Prakash the senior Australian operative in IS. He was reportedly on a list of high-value IS recruiters targeted by the US in drone attacks in Iraq.
Prakash told the court he had spent his early life in Cambodia in a Buddhist family but had decided to become a Muslim after watching IS videos.
