Things are coming to a head in Syria. The ISIS have been chased out of their 'self declared' capital of Raqqa in Syria.
Who will fill the vacuum? The US wants to help the Kurds create an independent Kurdish state in Syria.
The Syrian government with Russian assistance wants to reimpose Syrian rule over all its territories.
My view is after the ISIS are kicked out, new fighting will erupt between the different groups who want to control Syria. Here is some news :
1. ISIS Leave Raqqa, Cross Euphrates
ISIS militants cross Euphrates in Syria from stronghold of Raqqa
despite being encircled by Kurdish and US-led coalition forces
SDF, US, UK, French special forces "blocked" Raqqa from north
SDF stopped offensive, ruptures in encirclement
ISIS cross Euphrates to southern direction of Syria
Russian do utmost to prevent ISIS breaking through from Raqqa
first ISIS convoy from Raqqa to Palmyra destroyed by Russian Air Force May 25
IS made another attempt on May 29 to 30
3 motorcades left Raqqa under darkness
destroyed 80 jihadists, 36 vehicles, eight fuel trucks and 17 pickup trucks
destroyed 80 jihadists, 36 vehicles, eight fuel trucks and 17 pickup trucks
There are serious accusations that the US is "slowing" down the eviction of ISIS until their allies are in position to take territory vacated by ISIS :
2. Double Game: ‘US Secretly Supports ISIS in Raqqa’
US actively supports SDF in Raqqa but secretly endorses ISIS
cooperation between these forces under US control
US has destroyed all bridges across Euphrates
intention to liberate Raqqa
intention to liberate Raqqa
next stage before establishing Kurdish state
Kurdish state will border oil fields of Syria
SDF are main allies of US and ISIS
ISIS are American soldiers in local clothes
US is coordinating between ISIS and SDF
agreements concluded under strict guidance of US
when US tell ISIS to leave they leave unconditionally
vacating a spot for another American ally
US can destroy ISIS within 24 hours
US weapons transfers to Kurdish (YPG) to consternation of NATO ally Turkey
Kurdish fighters recipients of US arms and vehicles to take Raqqa
Conclusion : The ISIS terrorists will be heading for home, to create more killing and chaos in their home countries. The fighting in Syria will continue. Nothing much will have been achieved.
