    AVRASYA İNCELEMELERİ MERKEZİ CENTER FOR EURASIAN STUDIES U.S.-BACKED SYRIA FORCE CLOSES IN ON IS-HELD CITY; SLOW IRAQ ADVANCE CAUSES RIFT - 07.06.2016 Reuters, 06 June 2016 U.S.-backed Syrian fighters have surrounded the Islamic State-held city of Manbij from three sides as they press a major new offensive against the jihadists near the Turkish border, a spokesman for the fighters said on Monday. But in a sign of the difficulty world powers have faced in building a coalition to take on the self- declared caliphate, the slow pace of a separate assault by the Iraqi army on a militant bastion near Baghdad caused a rift between the Shi'ite-led government and powerful Iranian-backed Shi'ite militia. The simultaneous assaults on Manbij in Syria and Falluja in Iraq, at opposite ends of Islamic State territory, are two of the biggest operations yet against Islamic State in what Washington says is the year it hopes to roll back the caliphate. The Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), including a Kurdish militia and Arab allies that joined it last year, launched the Manbij attack last week to drive Islamic State from its last stretch of the Syrian- Turkish frontier. If successful it could cut the militants' main access route to the outside world, paving the way for an assault on their Syrian capital Raqqa. Last week Iraqi forces also rolled into the southern outskirts of Falluja, an insurgent stronghold 750 km down the Euphrates River from Manbij just an hour's drive from Baghdad. The SDF in Syria are backed by U.S.

  • The Not-So-Great Game in Syria, and How to End It by Andrew J
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds The Not-So-Great Game in Syria, and How to End It by Andrew J. Tabler Nov 4, 2015 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Andrew J. Tabler Andrew J. Tabler is the Martin J. Gross fellow in the Geduld Program on Arab Politics at The Washington Institute, where he focuses on Syria and U.S. policy in the Levant. Articles & Testimony Russia has greatly complicated an already-fraught situation by picking a fight with Syria's majority Sunni rebels and tripping into other regional players' spheres of influence. n the last few weeks, Russia has returned to the Middle East through a direct military intervention in Syria. In I doing so, it has entered the Great Game for the heart of that country and the region. Early speculation that Russia intervened unilaterally to prop up the Bashar al-Assad regime has since been undermined by evidence that Russian air strikes are coordinated with an Iranian-supported regime offensive near Aleppo. In fact, it is likely that a June 2015 visit to Moscow by Qassem Suleimani, leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, was part of the planning for the eventual Iranian-Russian intervention. Assad apparently invited the Russian strikes, which has given them some degree of legitimacy, as has Moscow's concurrent promotion of negotiations, which started in Vienna last week. But by intervening on behalf of what Russian officials call a "mosaic" of Iranian-supported forces, Moscow has picked a fight with Syria's majority Sunni rebels and their brethren in the region. It has also tripped into other regional players' spheres of influence, including those of Turkey, the Gulf countries, the Kurds, Jordan, and Israel.

  • How US Concessions Threaten the Syria
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds How U.S. Concessions Threaten the Syria Peace Talks Before They Start by Michael Singh Jan 28, 2016 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Michael Singh Michael Singh is the Lane-Swig Senior Fellow and managing director at The Washington Institute. Articles & Testimony Diplomacy is shaped by facts on the ground, not the reverse, so Washington must be prepared to alter those facts by increasing its support for the opposition or expanding its own military involvement. S. officials are scrambling to convene another round of talks aimed at ending the war in Syria that has U. killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, and reinvigorated a global jihadist movement. Without firmer U.S. support of the Syrian opposition, and measures to dent the confidence of the Syrian regime and its supporters, these talks are doomed, like previous rounds, to end in failure. To casual observers, the horrors of the Syrian conflict may seem relatively unchanging. In fact, much has changed in Syria in the four months since the Russian military began intervening on behalf of Bashar al-Assad. Rebel advances had left the Syrian president in danger of losing vital portions of his regime's heartland. Relentless Russian aerial bombardment, however, has the rebels slowly retreating, allowing the regime to regain lost territory and confidence. Russian airstrikes have been complemented by a ground campaign led by the Syrian army and its associated paramilitaries, as well as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies, notably Hezbollah and Shiite militiamen from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The Russian bombing campaign -- which replaced a relatively sporadic air campaign by Syria's feeble air force -- and the encirclement of towns by Assad forces have worsened the humanitarian situation.

  • Assad's Chemical Attack Signals an Imminent Idlib Offensive by Fabrice Balanche
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2786 Assad's Chemical Attack Signals an Imminent Idlib Offensive by Fabrice Balanche Apr 14, 2017 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Fabrice Balanche Fabrice Balanche, an associate professor and research director at the University of Lyon 2, is an adjunct fellow at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis The regime's latest atrocity was spurred by clear military motivations, and the situation will likely worsen as the army begins a wider ground campaign against rebel strongholds in Idlib province. n claiming that the Syrian army was not responsible for the April 4 chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun, Russia I has argued that the Assad regime had no military reason to use such weapons. Quite the contrary: the regime faced a critical defeat on that front and felt it had no other way to avoid a major setback. Indeed, the Khan Sheikhoun attack was likely the first step in a large-scale offensive against Idlib province, the main bastion of the rebellion. Given the increasingly extremist flavor of Idlib's rebel groups and the regime's ongoing manpower shortages, the upcoming campaign may see an uptick in brutal, indiscriminate tactics that flout international law, with potentially devastating consequences for local civilian populations. REBUILDING THE IDLIB REBELLION FOR AL-QAEDA C urrently, rebel forces in Idlib province number more than 50,000 fighters, most of them hardcore jihadists and Islamists. The few thousand remaining "moderates" have largely concentrated themselves on the Turkish border to avoid being eliminated by al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham.

  • If Syria Safe-Zone Talks Fail: How the SDF Might Respond to Turkish Intervention by John Holland-Mccowan
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 3121 If Syria Safe-Zone Talks Fail: How the SDF Might Respond to Turkish Intervention by John Holland-McCowan May 17, 2019 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS John Holland-McCowan John Holland-McCowan is a research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. Brief Analysis The Kurdish-led force cannot hold the northeast on its own, and withdrawing coalition support would bolster Assad and Moscow’s interests. s the United States, Turkey, and the Syrian Democratic Forces accelerated their discussions over a potential A safe zone in northeast Syria in recent weeks, a surprise letter on May 6 added a new dimension to the talks. Following his first meeting with lawyers in eight years, Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan issued a memo calling for “democratic negotiations” between the Kurdish-led SDF and Ankara in order to foster a “constitutionally enshrined local democracy within the framework of a united Syria.” Sources close to the situation believe the timing of his letter was intended to facilitate a deal over the northeast Syria border zone, where the SDF—led by the U.S.-backed PKK offshoot the People’s Defense Units (YPG)—are in control. For months, Turkey and Washington have been negotiating a plan to jointly patrol a safe zone that would extend approximately twenty miles into Syria, with the SDF withdrawing from all buffer areas (the zone’s potential length and endpoints are still unclear). SDF representatives report that U.S. officials have been pressuring them to allow a limited number of Turkish forces in this proposed zone; Ocalan’s statement may encourage the group to be more flexible on these matters.

  • Written Testimony Before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee on “U.S
    September 27, 2018 Written Testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee on “U.S. Policy Toward Syria-Part 1” Nicholas A. Heras, Fellow, Center for a New American Security Madame Chairman, Mr. Ranking Member, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to discuss U.S. policy toward Syria with you today and to submit this testimony for the record. My testimony will analyze several areas of concern for U.S. policy toward Syria, which are: understanding dynamics relevant to building stability in post-ISIS areas under U.S. control; finding a mechanism to work with our NATO ally Turkey to remove the al Qaeda safe haven in Syria; and determining whether Russia can be a partner to create a post-conflict Syria where Assad has been transitioned from power and Iran and its proxy forces have been withdrawn from the country. In my analysis, Syria has transitioned from a civil war between the Assad government and its rebel opponents and has now become an arena for interstate competition. This is a competition that the United States, through its control over nearly one-third of resource-rich Syrian territory, is now a party to. I believe that the U.S. presence in Syria means that we are invested in the outcome of the conflict, and we should therefore strive for a post-conflict Syria that is stable and that is not a source of threats to the United States or its regional partners. However, in my analysis, the U.S. government is enacting a policy in Syria that sets an end state goal that will not likely be achieved for years, perhaps even decades, if it is ever achieved.

  • Failing Regional Administration and COVID-19 in Deir Al-Zour by Omar Abu Layla
    MENU Policy Analysis / Fikra Forum Failing Regional Administration and COVID-19 in Deir al-Zour by Omar Abu Layla May 28, 2021 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Omar Abu Layla Omar Abu Layla is the executive director of Deir Ezzor 24 and an expert on security and governance in northeast Syria. Abu Layla is a contributor to Fikra Forum. Brief Analysis Statistics show that both the Damascus government and the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria are failing to effectively combat COVID- 19 in Deir al-Zour. he COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges for healthcare systems around the globe, but in a T country like Syria, which has been experiencing protracted violent conflict since 2011, the pandemic added extreme pressure on an already overburdened and fragile system. This is especially so in the province of Deir al- Zour, in eastern Syria, where fractured administration between warring parties, poor governance, and poor social awareness have meant an insufficient response to the pandemic. Generally, information on the number of COVID-19 cases in Deir al-Zour, along with other related statistics, issue from two administrative authorities: the Damascus government’s Ministry of Health, which holds administrative control areas west of the Euphrates River, and the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)’s “Authority of Health and Environment” (AHE), which oversees administration of health infrastructure in the regions east of the Euphrates. The two bodies are entirely separate, and the AANES and the Damascus government share a hostile relationship. This split administration has led to a severely muted understanding of and response to the pandemic in this governorate.

  • Whose Kurdistan? Class Politics and Kurdish Nationalism in the Middle East, 1918-2018
    LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE Whose Kurdistan? Class Politics and Kurdish Nationalism in the Middle East, 1918-2018 Nicola Degli Esposti A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, 13 September 2020 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,640 words. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of the different trajectories of Kurdish nationalism in the Middle East. In the late 2010s – years of momentous advance for Kurdish forces in Turkey, Iraq, and Syria – Kurdish politics was deeply divided into competing movements pursuing irreconcilable projects for the future of the Kurdish nation. By investigating nationalism as embedded in social conflicts, this thesis identifies in the class basis of Kurdish movements and parties the main reason for their political differentiation and the development of competing national projects. After the defeat of the early Kurdish revolts in the 1920s and 1930s, Kurdish nationalism in Iraq and Turkey diverged along ideological lines due to the different social actors that led the respective national movements.
