The ISIS – Suquor al-Sham Truce: Is It Real and Can It Last?<\/strong>

\"version4_?????<\/a>

Abu Issa or Ahmed Issa ash-Shaikh, the leader of Suqour ash-Sham (Syrian Falcons) who became the putative leader of the Islamic Front when it was formed in Nov. 2013<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday, a statement was circulated on Twitter and Facebook claiming that a truce had been established between Suqour ash-Sham (SS) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS).[1]<\/a> According to the statement, it appears that the truce had been mediated by Liwa\u2019 Dawoud.[2]<\/a> Below is my translation of the statement:<\/p>\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/i><\/p>\n

Allah the Highest says: \u2018The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers\u2019 [Quran 49:10].<\/i><\/p>\n

From this divine instruction, and as the beginning of a wider process of reconciliation, we \u2013 the Suqour ash-Sham Brigades and its prince Abu Issa ash-Shaikh and the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria and its prince Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi \u2013 agree to immediately put an end to the ongoing fighting between ourselves. <\/i><\/p>\n

Neither party will attack the other in any way. Also, after this agreement, neither party will assist any third party in the Levant \u2013 that fight for Allah \u2013 in any way.[3]<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Should any dispute between the two signatories arise, a Sharia court \u2013 established by both parties \u2013 shall arbitrate in the matter.<\/i><\/p>\n

Allah is the determiner of success<\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Although the statement was being circulated by accounts sympathetic to ISIS, and indeed some were making claims that SS factions in the Badiya<\/i> (Homs desert), as a result of the agreement, were leaving their positions there against ISIS, not only did official SS accounts not mention it, they were verbally attacking ISIS. For example, the last three tweets, by then, of Abu Issa ash-Shaikh, SS leader, were describing ISIS as Khawarij<\/i> <\/i>and referring to them with their Arabic acronym ????<\/i> (Daesh)<\/i> \u2013 which they find offensive.[4]<\/a> These reasons led to a lively debate on twitter regarding the authenticity, and even the possibility, of the statement.[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

Later in the day, an official SS spokesperson appeared on Orient TV to clarify the matter.[6]<\/a> He stated that the situation was \u2018nebulous\u2019 \u2013 to use his expression \u2013 because the SS leadership was still unable to contact its local commanders who had supposedly signed the agreement. With that in mind, according to him, the truce was not approved by the SS top brass. Asked by the presenter what their official position regarding ISIS was, he said it was \u2018no secret\u2019, and that such a deal cannot take place \u2018under any circumstances\u2019. ISIS had gone too far, they had killed one of SS\u2019 top military commanders.[7]<\/a><\/p>\n

Although the SS spokesperson\u2019s story is plausible, it does not explain how ISIS and Liwa\u2019 Dawoud were able to contact their local commanders to obtain a copy of the statement and release it. Presumably, all factions are using the same infrastructure for their communication needs. SS was also once part of the Free Syrian Army which received communication equipment and other forms of non-lethal aid from the West.<\/p>\n

A few hours after the interview was broadcasted, a video was released depicting an armed convoy moving through a desert road. It was claimed it represented SS\u2019 retreat from its positions against ISIS in the Homs desert (the Badiya<\/i>).[8]<\/a> The video also showed an anti-aircraft gun firing at what was said to be a regime plane, which does not appear in the video.<\/p>\n

As if to make matters worse for the SS spokesperson\u2019s story, the head of the general staff of the SS Brigades released a statement confirming the reconciliation.[9]<\/a> Below is my transcription of his statement followed by an English translation:<\/p>\n

??? ???? ?????? ??????<\/i><\/p>\n

??? ?????? ??????: \u201c????? ???????? ???? ??????? ??? ??????\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

??? ????? ??????: ???? ????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ???? ?????. ??? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ????? ???? ????? ???????? ?? ??? ????? ??? ????? ???? ????? ??????? ????????? ?? ?????? ??????. ?????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??? ??? ?????? ?????? ???? ?? ??? ????? ????? ???? ?????? ???? ???????? ????? ???? ??????? ?? ?????? ????????? ?? ?????? ??????. <\/i><\/p>\n

6 ???? ??????<\/i><\/p>\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/i><\/p>\n

Allah, May He Be Glorified and Exalted, says: \u2018The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers\u2019 [Quran 49:10].<\/i><\/p>\n

I am the humble servant to Allah, Rashed Tuggo, commander of the Suyouf al-Haqq Brigade, and head of the General Staff of the Suqour ash-Sham Brigades <\/i>[SS].<\/i> <\/i>I was commissioned by the Shura Council of the SS to negotiate a reconciliation between the SS and the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria <\/i>[ISIS]. Thanks be to Allah.<\/i> <\/i>The Almighty and Exalted has allowed us success and we have been able to reach a comprehensive agreement that is valid all over Syria to stop the spilling of blood and end the fighting between us and our brothers in the ISIS.<\/i><\/p>\n

The agreement stated the cessation of fighting <\/i>[between SS and the ISIS] all over Syria; providing no assistance to any faction that fights the ISIS; and, in case of a future dispute, setting up an Islamic court that rules by Allah\u2019s Sharia with a judge from the ISIS and a judge from SS to resolve the case. We would like to stress that our brothers in the ISIS have abided by all the clauses of the agreement we have jointly reached.<\/i><\/p>\n

Allah is the determiner of success.<\/i><\/p>\n

6th<\/sup> Rabi\u2019 ath-Thani <\/i>[Lunar Islamic Calindar. Corresponds to 6th<\/sup> February].<\/p>\n

This statement represents not only the view of Tuggo, but also of the majority \u2013 we may assume \u2013 of SS\u2019 Shura Council. SS\u2019 spokesperson\u2019s contention that no SS officials had spoken on the matter has, then, become invalid. Those views are at odds with those of SS\u2019 leader \u2013 Abu Issa ash-Shaik, who has been quite public about his animosity to the ISIS. In one of his tweets, for example, he says: \u2018I will cleanse the Levant from you \u2013 you sons of Saba\u2019\u2019.[10]<\/a> It would, perhaps, be premature to say there is dissent in the ranks of the SS Brigades, but the last word on this matter has not been said.<\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> Liwa\u2019 Dawoud seems to have changed allegiances quite a few times. It was formerly an SS faction. See https:\/\/twitter.com\/aron_ld\/statuses\/431036224074424320<\/a> . It then joined ISIS only to leave it on 20th<\/sup> Jan 2014. See http:\/\/www.almokhtsar.com\/news\/%D9%84%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%AF-%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%B4%D9%82-%D8%B9%D9%86-%D8%AA%D9%86%D8%B8%D9%8A%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A9-%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%B9%D9%88-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B6%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA-%D9%84%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%87<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

[3]<\/a> The original text is ambiguous. The intention appears to be that neither party will assist a third party in attacking the other signatory to the agreement. That, however, is not explicitly stated. Assistance to a third party, in the text, is left unrestricted by any conditions, which is impractical to say the least. The SS, for example, are part of the Islamic Front, and they are, as such, expected to assist the other factions in it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

[4]<\/a> See https:\/\/twitter.com\/aleesa71<\/a> . The Khawarij<\/i> are an archaic Islamic school famous for its extremism and the willingness of its members to declare other Muslims unbelievers and to fight them. It has been used to describe ISIS by its enemies. Unsurprisingly, they also find the term pejorative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
