New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Mass Killings in Syria"
Posted on
Everyone is aware that for the past two years, the oppressed Syrian nation has been burning in a raging fire; more than a hundred thousand men, women and children have died, millions have become refugees and homes and villages have been destroyed however it did not end there! but now chemical weapons have also been used against them.
On the 21/08/2013 in Ghawtha area near the capital Damascus, the Syrian regime brutally used chemical gas deployed in bombs which resulted in some 1300 innocent civilians, mostly women and children, becoming martyrs in the heinous crime, according to the tally of the locals.
The Islamic Emirate, while condemning this inhumane action in the strongest of terms, calls on the international community and especially the Islamic world to immediately put a stop to such crimes against humanity and take every necessary step to help the oppressed Syrian nation so to put an end to similar crimes from taking place in the future.

Check out my new article in The CTC Sentinel co-authored with Matthew Levitt: "Hizb Allah’s Gambit in Syria"
Posted on
Speaking in late May 2013, Hizb Allah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah declared that the battle in Syria was Hizb Allah’s fight: “We will continue along the road, bear the responsibilities and the sacrifices. This battle is ours, and I promise you victory.”[1] To that end, Lebanese Hizb Allah went “all-in” fighting alongside Bashar al-Assad regime loyalists and Iranian revolutionary guardsmen against Syrian rebels. The impact of Hizb Allah’s involvement has been significant, as was seen most clearly in the battle for Qusayr in May-June 2013, where Hizb Allah gunmen reportedly fought house to house, suffered losses, and played the decisive role in turning the tide against anti-Assad rebels who ultimately lost the town. That battle also laid bare the myth that Hizb Allah was not fighting in Syria.
This article identifies Hizb Allah’s strategic calculus for joining the fight in Syria. First, it contextualizes Hizb Allah’s historical connection to the Sayyida Zaynab shrine in Damascus since it is utilized heavily in Hizb Allah’s propaganda. It then probes Hizb Allah’s military involvement as well as its training advisory role with new militias. It finds that Hizb Allah is heavily involved in Syria not only to help its patrons in Damascus and Tehran, but also to stave off an existential crisis in Lebanon if the Syrian rebels were to achieve victory.
