ISIS Imploding: Defections and Uprisings Hit Jihadist HQ Raqqa, Dozens Dead
21st
Century Wire says…
The
ceasefire deal has meant ISIS is practically the only target
left on the battlefield. Now, people are rising up against the
crumbling group from the inside.
Watch
a video of this report here:
At
least 200 fighters have defected from the ranks of ISIS inside
the jihadist HQ – the Syrian city of Raqqa. The defectors
have launched
an uprising that has left dozens dead in violent clashes
between militants.
One
source told Sputnik:
“About
200 Syrian militants of Daesh took the side of residents of Raqqa,
which forced the terrorists to organize roadblocks at the entrance to
the city,”
Another
told Hamrin News:
“The
split within the organization occurred as a result of internal
differences in their ranks, and led to armed clashes and dozens of
deaths,”
One
other source said:
“Furthermore,
government forces have advanced along the M45-highway (Hama to Raqqa)
and reached the Western side of Raqqa province. Meanwhile, Kurdish
fighters of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Syrian
Democratic Forces (SDF) have taken firm control of the Northern
region of the Raqqa province,”
These
reports of defections and uprisings follow news from last month
claiming that the jihadists had initiated ‘mass
evacuations‘ of their families, and began shifting
their focus to Libya after facing a relentless Russian
air campaign.
Now
the the Syrian Army is hot
on the trail to Raqqa, it appears that at least some of the
jihadists realise their days are now truly numbered.
