>US stops Taliban territory tracking in Afghanistan
The US military announced it had stopped collecting data on which territory in Afghanistan is controlled or influenced by Taliban militants in comparison to the Afghan government.

The move to scratch the metrics, one of the last remaining public metrics on the war, comes as US and Taliban officials are meeting in Qatar for a fresh round of peace talks to try and end the long-running conflict.

'Limited decision-making value'

The US' Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), which overseas Afghan reconstruction efforts, announced the decision as it presented its quarterly report to Congress on Tuesday.

"The US-commanded NATO Resolute Support (RS) mission in Afghanistan formally notified SIGAR that it is no longer assessing district-level insurgent or government control or influence," the report read, adding that RS described the assessments as being "of limited decision-making value."

"RS added that there is currently no other product or forum through which district-level control data is communicated to the command," it continued.

Afghan security forces are trying to prevent Taliban militants from carrying out attacks

Prior to the report's release, the head of SIGAR, John Sopko, had questioned the decision to keep the data on district control private and criticized the trend towards less openness by military authorities over their activities in Afghanistan.

"When you start hiding things like this, over-classifying ... You tend to create cynicism in your populace and everybody else that you're losing, or it's bad news," Sopko said.

The last district-level data from January showed that the Afghan government controlled of influenced around 54% of the country covering 65.2% of the population, a slight drop downward from the previous population coverage of 65.2 percent.

Over the past few years, the US military has increasingly restricted public data available on Afghanistan, with President Donald Trump arguing too much information is given away. Experts worry that a lack of transparency makes it hard to evaluate the success of reconstruction measures in Afghanistan.

>U.S. and Taliban resume talks as Kabul seeks role in peace process

American and Taliban officials resumed talks in Qatar on Wednesday aimed at ending a 17-year war in Afghanistan, while the Afghan government hosted a rare assembly in Kabul to ensure its interests are upheld in any peace deal.

The Taliban issued a statement saying the U.S. special envoy for peace in Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, had met the Taliban’s political chief Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who is heading the Islamist militants’ delegation.

“Views were exchanged about key aspects for a peaceful resolution of the Afghan issue,” its spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.

The talks are part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end America’s longest war, which began when U.S.-backed forces ousted the Taliban weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Since October, U.S. and Taliban officials have held several rounds of talks aimed at ensuring a safe departure for U.S. forces in return for a Taliban guarantee that Afghanistan will not be used by militants to threaten the rest of the world.

“It is absolutely vital that the two key agenda points - full withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan and preventing Afghanistan from harming others - be finalized,” Mujahid said.

“This will open the way for resolving other aspects of the issue and we cannot enter into other topics before this,” he said.

In this round, Khalilzad and his delegation are expected to focus on a declaration of a ceasefire as a first step to end the fighting, said a western diplomat in Kabul.

An official working closely with Khalilzad said he is expected to encourage the insurgent group to engage in Afghan-to-Afghan talks to find a political settlement to end the war, but Mujahid said the Afghan representatives were not allowed to attend the ongoing talks.

“No other side except the U.S. and Taliban representatives in the meeting, but some Qatari officials will remain present as hosts,” he told Reuters.

This week, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani convened a rare grand assembly known as the Loya Jirga to set out Kabul’s conditions for peace talks with the Taliban.

The Jirga has a purely consultative function, but it carries significance in Afghan politics and society.

An intra-Afghan meeting involving the Taliban was scheduled to take place in Doha last month but a dispute about who should participate and in what capacity prompted the Islamist group to pull out at the last minute.

The Taliban has so far refused to talk to Kabul and have labeled the Afghan government as a “U.S. puppet.”

Ghani believes that backing from members of the Loya Jirga will strengthen his bid to be recognized as Afghanistan’s legitimate representative in the peace talks.

The assembly includes 3,200 tribal elders, politicians and community and religious leaders from all 34 provinces.

But opposition politicians and government critics, including former president Hamid Karzai, are boycotting the meeting. They accuse Ghani of using it as a platform to boost his status as a leader in an election year.

Omar Daudzai, Ghani’s special envoy for peace, said at the assembly he welcomed the U.S.-Taliban talks in Qatar but Afghan voices should be heard at the negotiating table.

“The Loya Jirga is the rational and logical start of the peace talks,” he told reporters, adding that the assembly would also examine the role of foreign powers in Afghanistan.

The United States has about 14,000 troops in Afghanistan as part of a NATO-led mission, known as Resolute Support, that is training and assisting the Afghan government’s security forces in their battle against Taliban fighters and extremist groups such as Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.

Intense fighting is still going on all over the country, and while the Taliban are negotiating, they now control and have influence over more territory than at any point since 2001.

since this is clearly not just about syria anymore, can anyone post a modernised map regarding the cameroonian civil war?

New map of upcoming Idlib offensive

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:30 P.M.) – The long-awaited battle for the demilitarized zone in northwestern Syria is set to begin in the coming days as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies attempt to capture this area from the militant forces.

The Syrian Army offensive will specifically concentrate on the demilitarized zone area near the towns of Mhardeh and Suqaylabiyeh; they have been under attack by the jihadist rebels since the implementation of the DMZ on September 17th, 2018.

no it's much simpler than that. they're completely ignorant and primitive, and they receive their orders from the chief rabbis who tell them what to do.

>But the great rabbis, led by Hagrail Steinman and Rabbi Kanievsky, instructed them not to be vaccinated. "The damage is greater than the benefit," said the rabbis, due to several cases in which serious health problems were caused by the vaccine.

I spoke with the spokesman of the Turkish-backed National Army who confirmed that the military operation to liberate Tal Rifaat started!

Also Turkish media started broadcoasting about the operation:

The military operation started from two axes. One targeting Maaranaz & the other Malikiyah.

According to two FSA commanders (one tweeted, one told me via Whatsapp), Maaranaz was entered by the National Army already

Some informations about Tal Rifaat:

- Operation was a suprise for the YPG & FSA
- Its mainly Jabhat Shamiyah who is attacking
- Suprise moment ended, YPG counter attack started
- Only Turkish artillery support
- Most likely FSA will retreat today & attack tomorrow again

No one wants to update, or have any thing to share about the apparent artilelry shelling of the turkish observation post in Idlib and an hour later helis landing there (most likely to evac wounded out)?

Afghan Shitmupdates.
I figured the Taliban were going to focus Herat this year - they're contesting districts in Herat and preparing staging ground for their offensives against the provincial capitals.
What happened in Kunduz last month was a test of their capabilities of not to capture the provincial capital but to surround it. They had Kunduz flanked from the north, the east, the west, and the southwest before the ANA pushed them back, so I consider it a pretty successful test.
The long preparation continues, but the payoff will be well worth it.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is preparing to storm the strategic town of Kabani in northeastern Latakia, a source from the military told Al-Masdar News this afternoon.

Led by the 42nd Brigade (Ghiath Forces) of the 4th Armored Division, the Syrian Arab Army has begun shelling Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s positions around Kabani as they prepare to storm the town from the southern axis.

In addition to the Syrian Army’s shelling, the Russian Air Force is also participating in the attack on the jihadist stronghold.

According to a source near the front-lines, the 42nd Brigade is looking to capture Kabani and the remaining points under jihadist rebel control along the Idlib-Latakia axis.

If they are successful, the Syrian Arab Army will be able to cutoff the remaining jihadists in Latakia from their main supply route in the Idlib Governorate.

As of now, there has been no movement on the ground; however, this attack will likely commence in the coming hours as it is crucial to the Syrian Army’s battle plan.

Taking Kebani means taking Jabal Katf which means fire control over Sirmaniyah which means they'll probably take that too.
Hell, Kebani is the last stronghold protecting what's left of the Kurd Mountains, the SAA can easily approach the M-4 highway from the southeast if they capture it.

Not surprising, if they "let" HTS take all the positions back again, solely to grind their numbers and materials more easily than HTS can grind the SAA's.

Pretty much yeah, and especially on the hilltops.

Units of the Syrian Arab Army expanded their retaliation to the frequent breaches and attacks by terrorists on safe areas in the countryside of Hama and Idleb through carrying out intensive operations against their positions and supply routes in Idleb southern countryside and Hama northern countryside.

SANA reporter in Hama northern countryside said that army units retaliated to attacks by Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists and the groups affiliated to it on the safe areas through conducting concentrated bombardments on their gatherings and supply routes in the villages of Kafr Naboudeh, Abdin and Kafr Sajna in the countryside of Idleb and Hama.

The reported noted that heavy losses were inflicted upon the terrorist groups in the strikes, and their rocket launch pads, dens and fortifications were destroyed.

On Sunday, army units destroyed dens and rocket launch pads belonging to Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists in al-Latamina, al-Zakat, al-Sahryia, al-Amiqa, al-Hiwash and al-Qarqour in Hama northwestern countryside, and in the towns of al-Fatira and Ehsem in Idleb southern countryside.

Bombing the reinforcements no doubt.
Big question if SAA decides to advance again is if they'll move across the dams northwards (in black circles, depending on the water levels (seems good) there are also a road across the reservoir (second pic) that leads to the Ancient city of Apamea/Qalaat) but i think they'll avoid fighting in the ruins.) to outflank/surround Kafr Nabbudah or try go directly for it now that they control the western road into the city.
I don't think they'll go for Qalaat al-Madiq before previously mentioned but you never know.

>Pantsir, Tor-M1 systems shot down 27 rockets militants fired at Hmeymim May 6

MOSCOW, May 7. /TASS/. Russia’s air defense systems Pantsir and Tor-M1 shot down 27 rockets the militants had fired at the Hmeymim base on May 6. Not a single shell hit the base, the Russian center for the reconciliation of conflicting parties in Syria told the media.

The center said Russia’s air defense systems on May 6 successfully countered "two strikes by multiple rocket launchers against the airbase Hmeymim from areas controlled by terrorist groups in the Idlib zone."

"Russia’s air defense systems Pantsir-S1 and Tor-M1 shot down 27 rockets. Not a single shell hit the base," the statement says.

The center said that on the same day the militants shelled the city of Jebla. Nine rockets exploded on the city’s streets and around it. The positions of terrorists’ multiple rocket launchers near Zawiya (inside the de-escalation zone Idlib) were promptly spotted and wiped out by Russia’s aerospace group and the Syrian army’s artillery.

>Russian Hmeymim airbase in Syria twice comes under shelling by militants

MOSCOW, May 6. /TASS/. Russia’s airbase at Syrian Hmeymim came under shelling by militants twice during the day, no casualties or damages were reported, chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Oppositing Parties in Syria Viktor Kupchishin said on Monday.

"The Hmeymim airbase came under shelling from multiple missile launcher systems twice during the day, in the morning and in the evening. In both cases, shelling was conducted from the settlement of Zawiya in the Idlib de-escalation zone that is controlled by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group (formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia)," he said.

According to Kupchishin, a total of 36 missiles were fired, with fire being guided with the help of a drone. "The attacks were repelled by missile defense systems. No casualties or damages were reported from the base. All militants’ firing points were detected and hit by Russian warplanes and artillery units of the Syrian army," he said.

He also said that the situation in the area has deteriorated dramatically, with an increased number of ceasefire violations by militants acting in the Idlib de-escalation zone. "During the day, militants opened fire from multiple missile launcher and artillery systems at the settlements of al-Saqlabiya (thrice), Mgair (twice), Braidij (twice), Taibe al-Imam and Hamamiyat in the Hama governorate, Safsara (five times), Qalat Marza, Ikko, Ain al-Hanzir and Kastal al-Burj in the Latakia governorate, Abu al-Duhur and Niha in the Idlib governorate," he said, adding that fire was conducted from the settlements of Kbana (twice), Qalat al-Mudik (twice), Herbet al-Arus and Tuffakhiya.

The Syrian authorities continue work to amnesty people dodging military service, including refugees and former members of illegal armed groups. Thus, as of May 5, 2019, as many as 57,872 people were amnestied, he added.

The Russian reconciliation center continues to fulfill assigned tasks after the completion of the military campaign in Syria. The center’s officers regularly travel around the country's liberated areas to assess the humanitarian situation. The main efforts of the Russian military are now focused on assistance to the refugees returning to their homes and evacuation of civilians from de-escalation zones.
