Abu Hajar al-Kurdi
The crimes perpetrated by Daesh in 2014 marked the onset of a broader conflict between Jihadi movements and the followers of Baghdadi.
When the Mujahideen sensed ISIS’ betrayal, the factions engaged in combat with Bashar al-Assad’s forces moved from various provinces such as Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Hasakah, Raqqa, and Homs to the conflict areas to confront the Daeshi rebels.
It has been observed on multiple occasions that convoys of Jihadi movements would head towards different regions in an attempt to suppress Daesh, only to be targeted by drones from the U.S.-led global coalition. This hindered the Mujahideen’s ease of access into Daesh-controlled territories and their ability to combat the Daesh group.
The aerial bombardment of Jihadi positions by the allied forces resulted in the progress of Daesh forces, while concurrently, the Nusayri forces and Kurdish forces, notably the “People’s Defense Units” (YPG), also seized control of Mujahideen territories. Consequently, the global coalition undermined the Mujahideen, who were actively involved in suppressing Daesh, compelling them to retreat.
The Mujahideen established military units and deployed them to the front lines in order to eradicate Daesh, aiming to fulfill their responsibility and religious duty. Otherwise, if this venomous snake were allowed to grow easily, achieving victory and success in Shaam would have been extremely difficult for the Mujahideen.
The information department of the Mujahideen, led by renowned scholars, specialists, and experts, worked in unity and harmony to inform the nation about the detrimental consequences of Daesh’s existence through rational and scriptural arguments.
But despite all these difficulties and hardships, the Mujahideen grew weaker day by day, and their progress slowed down. Due to the war with Daesh, they had to abandon many provinces and cities that they had gained with great sacrifice and bloodshed.
