Le Pentagone lance un programme pour former 5000 djihadistes par an en Syrie

La Pentagone va déployer plus de 400 formateurs militaires et des centaines de personnels supplémentaires sur quatre sites d’entraînement répartis dans trois pays, début mars, dans le cadre d’un plan d’aide aux rebelles syriens.

En plus des formateurs militaires, le ministère de la défense américain prévoit de déployer des centaines de personnels militaires additionnels afin d’assurer la sécurité et le soutien opérationnel des camps d’entraînement, selon des officiels de haut rang du ministère. Les membres de la coalition internationale vont également être sollicités afin de contribuer à la formation des rebelles avec l’objectif de former 5400 combattants chaque année sur une durée de trois ans.

Le nombre de personnels militaires US déployés en prévision de cet objectif, que le Pentagone n’a pas encore révélé publiquement, donne une idée de l’ampleur de ce plan dont la mise au point à pris des mois. Il vient suite à de nombreuses critiques qui ont reproché à l’administration Obama de ne pas assister suffisamment l’opposition « modérée » en Syrie et de la prise de conscience que la campagne de bombardements aériens contre l’Etat Islamique en Syrie n’a pas été efficace.

Le programme d’entraînement et d’équipement du département de la défense à destination des rebelles syriens n’a pas pour objectif de changer la dynamique sur le terrain à court terme. Mais après des mois de planification et après le déblocage de son financement par le Congrès à la fin de l’année dernière, il commence maintenant à prendre forme.

Depuis le mois de décembre, des officiels de l’administration avancent que le programme pourrait commencer dés le mois de mars dans trois pays qui ont accepté de l’héberger : la Turquie, le Qatar, et l’Arabie Saoudite. Au moins quatre sites d’entraînement ont été identifiés dans ces pays et il est prévu de répartir 400 formateurs militaires ainsi que leur personnel de soutien logistique et opérationnel, uniformément sur les différents sites, pour mettre en oeuvre des cycles de formation d’une durée de six à huit semaines.

Plus tôt cette année à Istanbul, le général Michael Nagata, qui supervise la force opérationnelle interarmées, et Daniel Rubinstein, l’envoyé spécial US pour la Syrie, ont rencontré les membres de l’opposition syrienne. Les réunions ont été organisées par les officiels US pour briefer l’opposition syrienne sur le nouveau programme d’entraînement et d’équipement qui va être mis en place, mais également afin d’avoir une meilleure compréhension de la dynamique interne à la Syrie.

Commentaire de Guillaume Borel :

Nul besoin de préciser ici que les soit-disant rebelles « modérés » sont constitués en pratique de combattants djihadistes takfiristes qui s’empressent de rejoindre les rangs de l’État Islamique une fois leur formation achevée. À la fin de l’année dernière, c’est la brigade d’opposants « modérés » Al Yarmouk Shuhada, forte de 2000 hommes, formée et entraînée par des officiers US et des experts de la CIA en Jordanie et soutenue par l’armée israélienne, qui avait rejoint les rangs de l’État Islamique… L’opposition « modérée » est aujourd’hui quasiment inexistante en Syrie et sert de prétexte au soutien des rebelles takfiristes. S’il faut chercher des combattants « modérés », ils se trouvent maintenant dans les rangs des troupes gouvernementales…

Si les membres de la coalition internationale sont sollicités pour participer à ce « plan de formation » comme le suggère l’article, la France est donc susceptible d’intégrer ce programme et d’encadrer l’entraînement de djihadistes takfiristes, cela bien sûr au nom des « droits de l’homme » et de la « démocratie ». Pour mémoire, 13 officiers français avaient été capturés lors de la libération d’Homs par l’armée syrienne début 2012. La ville était tombée depuis plusieurs mois entre les mains des « rebelles » du Front al-Nosra, la branche d’al-Qaïda combattant en Syrie…

La brigade de rebelles syriens Yarmouk s’est retournée contre les USA et leurs alliés et a rejoint les rangs de l’Etat Islamique [Debkafile]

http://lesmoutonsenrages.fr/2014/12…

19 décembre, 2014 Posté par Ender

La milice de rebelles syriens les brigades Al Yarmouk Shuhada, formée et entraînée par des officiers US et des experts de la CIA en Jordanie et soutenue par l’armée israélienne a abandonnée ses sponsors et a rejoint l’Etat Islamique en Irak et en Syrie, selon les sources de Debkafile au sein de l’armée et du contre-terrorisme.

La défection soudaine de cette force anti-Assad de 2000 hommes laisse les défenses de l’armée israélienne sur le Golan ainsi que les déploiements US et jordaniens dans le nord du royaume mais également les conquêtes des rebelles pro-occidentaux dans le sud de la Syrie, en situation très précaire.

Le ralliement des bridages au camp djihadiste radical avait été négocié les deux semaines précédentes par son commandant Mousab Ali Qarfan, aussi connu sous le nom de Mousab Zaytouneh. Il était en contact direct avec le chef d’ISIS Abu Baqr Al-Baghdadi qui, selon nos sources, a récemment relocalisé son quartier général de l’Irark à al-Raqqa au nord de la Syrie.

Contrairement aux islamistes du Sinaï, Ansar Beit al Maqdis, les brigades Yarmouk n’ont pas prêtées allégeance à ISIS. Il s’agit d’une alliance opérationnelle qui constitue un grave péril pour les anciens alliés de la milice.

Pour Israël en particulier, ce nouveau développement comporte trois dangers majeurs :

1 Les brigades de Yarmouk sont positionnées tout le long de la frontière du Golan, du camp des casques bleus près du Kibbutz Ein Zivan au nord, jusqu’à la frontière israélo-jordanienne au sud. Les brigades tiennent 45 des 76 km de la frontière israélo-syrienne. Cela signifie que la majeur partie de la frontière israélienne du Golan avec la Syrie est passée sous le contrôle d’ISIS.

2 La milice contrôle des sections de la frontière entre la Syrie et la Jordanie et certains districts du sud de la Syrie près de la ville de Deraa. La connexion entre la Jordanie et le sud de la Syrie qui servait les intérêts stratégiques américains est maintenant menacé militairement par l’Etat Islamique.

3 Les troupes de l’Etat Islamique se préparent à profiter de leur nouvelle alliance stratégique en menant une offensive à travers les montagnes druzes pour rejoindre la ville de Deraa et établir une jonction de leurs forces avec celles de leur nouvel allié.

commentaire :

On peut légitimement se demander, au vu de la situation opérationnelle engendrée par la « défection » des brigades Yarmouk et qui aboutit dans les faits à un quasi bouclage des frontières syriennes par les forces de l’Etat Islamique, si cette « défection inattendue » ne faisait pas tout simplement partie du plan initial de la coalition. L’épisode de la « défection » présenté par Debakfile constituant juste une précaution opérationnelle permettant de masquer le soutien tactique et opérationnel à ISIS et de désamorcer les accusations récurrentes dont fait l’objet la coalition américano-israélienne sur ce point. Il faut également noter que malgré la présence massive de djihadistes représentants soit-disant une « menace » pour la sécurité d’Israël, notamment au niveau du plateau du Golan, ces derniers n’ont jamais pris l’état hébreux pour cible. Ils continuent à bénéficier d’un soutien logistique et sanitaire de la part d’Israël, comme l’ont révélé récemment les observateurs de la force de maintien de la paix de l’ONU présents sur la zone frontalière…

Thirteen French officers ’captured by Syrian Army’

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor…

Thirteen French officers have been captured by Syrian forces according to the Lebanon-based Daily Star newspaper, the first mainstream media outlet to report on rumours of Western troops on the ground.

Free Syrian Army fighters gather near a building hit by a Syrian Army tank in Idlib, northern Syria

The French foreign ministry dismissed the report, however, telling the Daily Telegraph that not a single French soldier is on Syrian soil.

But the defence ministry was less categorical, saying it neither confirmed nor denied the claim.

A photographer who recently escaped from the besieged Syrian city of Homs also dismissed suggestions French soldiers had intervened to secure his evacuation and that of three other Western reporters.

The report came on Monday as the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent reached two neighbourhoods of Homs where they were distributing food and blankets to civilians, including families who had fled the battered district of Baba Amr.

The teams still do not appear to have been allowed into Baba Amr itself.

“We are in the neighbourhoods of al-Inshaat and al-Tawzii. Al-Inshaat is the closest neighbourhood to Baba Amr. Obviously there is the resident population in need of help, as that neighbourhood was also affected by the violence, but it also hosts many families who have fled Baba Amr,” Hicham Hassan, spokesman of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.

An ICRC convoy carrying food for “several thousand people” and other relief supplies had also arrived in Homs from Damascus, the second in less than a week, he said.

It has also emerged that Syria envoy Kofi Annan will go to Damascus on March 10.

The report claiming that French officers are on the ground came from the Daily Star, a reputable newspaper in Beirut.

The Daily Star cites a Damascus-based Pro-Syrian Palestinian source as alleging that the French troops are being held in a field hospital in Homs.

The source claimed officials in Paris and Damascus are brokering a deal on what to do with the French nationals.

No explanation as to why the French troops had been in Syria was given nor was any indication as to whether they had been part of a larger contingent.

It was not possible to independently verify the claims.

A foreign ministry spokesman in France said : “We deny the idea that there are French troops on the ground”. A defence spokesman said : “We have no information on this. We neither confirm nor deny it".

Damascus has not commented on the presence of French troops on Syrian soil.

However, Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said last month it had no intention of intervening in the country as with Libya.

"No, I don’t think so because Syria is also a different society, it is much more complicated ethnically, politically, religiously. That’s why I do believe that a regional solution should be found,” he said.

Homs, 20 miles from the Lebanese border, remains a strategic battleground with forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad unrelenting in their bombardment of the area and anti-Assad demonstrators continuing their protests against the tyrannical dictator.

Activists said yesterday at least 12 people, including three children and three women, were killed in shelling in Rastan, a suburb of Homs, on Sunday. Men from another suburb, Baba Amr, were rounded up separately and 10 were lined up against a wall and shot, activists and refugees claimed.

French journalist Edith Bouvier was smuggled out of Syria with three others last week after sustaining a broken leg in what some claimed was a targeted-attack on western reporters.

Marie Colvin, a reporter for The Sunday Times, was killed in the shelling on February 22 alongside French photojournalist Remi Ochlick. They had been working from a makeshift media centre in the neighbourhood when they were hit.

The report did not say whether the French troops were part of the mission to evacuate the reporters, who had been holed up in a safe house for one week following the deadly shelling.

But in an interview this morning with France Info radio, William Daniels, the French photographer who escaped with Edith Bouvier, denied any contact with French forces.

“I never saw any French troops during this operation. We were only with Syrians from the (rebel) Free Syrian Army. We owe our escape to them,” he said.

He added : “We were unable to contact anyone (from the French authorities) for the entire trip as there were no telephone lines, obviously no internet and no satellite telephones, and anyway we wouldn’t have used a satellite phone as it would have allowed (the Syrian army) to locate us.”

Accounts of the escape have only mentioned rebel help, although French Ambassador Eric Chevallier returned to Damascus last week to discuss extracting the journalists safely.

France announced it was closing its embassy on Friday, as assaults continued in the region. Britain has already evacuated its embassy.

  • US To Send 400 Trainers and Hundreds More Troops for Syrian Train-and-Equip Mission

    http://www.defenseone.com/threats/2…

    Gordon Lubold

    January 15, 2015

    The Pentagon will deploy more than 400 U.S. military trainers and hundreds more supporting personnel to four training sites in three countries as early as March as part of a long-awaited plan to help rebel forces to stabilize Syria.

    In addition to the trainers, the U.S. military expects to deploy hundreds of additional U.S. military personnel as so-called enabling forces who will deploy alongside the trainers to provide security and other support at the training sites, according to senior defense officials. Coalition partners are expected to contribute forces as well for an effort that for now is envisioned to train about 5,400 rebel forces each year for three years.

    The number of U.S. forces planned for the effort, which the Pentagon has not yet announced publicly, provides a sense of the scope of a mission that has taken months to get off the ground. It comes amid frustration from critics arguing that the Obama Administration has not moved faster to assist the floundering moderate forces inside Syria and growing recognition that the U.S.-led airstrike campaign against the Islamic State in Syria has not been effective. The Defense Department’s train-and-equip program for Syrian rebels is not expected to change the dynamic on the ground anytime soon. But after months of planning, and after Congress provided funding late last year, it is now beginning to take form.

    Since December, administration officials have said that training program could begin as early as March in the three countries that have agreed to host the training : Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. At least four training sites in those countries are being identified and the plan is to split the approximately 400 U.S. trainers and their accompanying support forces evenly across those sites for what is expected to be a six- to eight-week training cycle.

    Earlier this week in Istanbul, Army Maj. Gen. Michael Nagata, who oversees the Combined Joint Interagency Task Force, and Daniel Rubinstein, U.S. special envoy for Syria, met with members of the Syrian opposition. The meetings were intended for American officials to brief the Syrian opposition on the train-and-equip program, but also for U.S. officials to get a better understanding of the dynamic inside Syria.

    Apart from what is gleaned through intelligence sources, the U.S. has little to no first-hand sense of battlefield dynamics. That has blunted the effectiveness of the U.S. airstrike campaign inside Syria, which Pentagon leaders say is secondary in strategic importance to neighboring Iraq. There, the U.S. has deployed more than 2,100 U.S. service members and is working closely with Iraqi forces in northern Iraq, Baghdad and Anbar Province in the west to help them fight the Islamic State.

    U.S. military commanders and intelligence sources say that while there is not yet a tipping point in Iraq, the combination of the airstrike campaign and the assistance to the Iraqi forces there has at least slowed the Islamic State’s ability to maneuver.

    But Syria is a different story. With no American combat boots on the ground and limited intelligence, the U.S. is struggling to have an impact there against Islamic State militants or the Assad regime.

    One of the biggest hurdles for the U.S. training program for Syrian rebels is identifying and vetting individuals to train. Defense officials said earlier this month that the U.S. is working closely with other U.S. government agencies as well as partner nations to find rebel fighters who would be candidates for the program.

    “That process is very active right now,” Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters Jan. 6.

    But identifying rebel fighters who don’t have ties to Jabhat al-Nusra, the main al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, is extremely difficult for a Pentagon with limited resources on the ground.

    Still, the Pentagon is confident its forces can identify, recruit and then train a moderate force. American military forces, particularly Special Forces, have decades of experience screening foreign military forces for training, Pentagon officials said.

    “We also know the Syrian opposition better now than we did two years ago through the programs we’ve had providing non-lethal assistance,” said Cmdr. Elissa Smith, a Pentagon spokesperson. The Pentagon, the State Department and other nations are using a number of sources to screen moderate Syrian recruits, and it will be an ongoing process, she said in an email.

    “We’ve identified numerous groups that we believe are suitable for training based on our current understanding of the environment and we continue to evaluate the situation,” Smith said.

    There are other concerns, however. The void left by removing those fighters from the battlefield to get them trained, some of whom will be rebel commanders on the frontlines of the fight against the Islamic State, could be detrimental to the fight inside Syria, said at least one analyst who studies the conflict.

    Moreover, many rebel forces who would be candidates for training feel disillusioned over what is perceived to be the long time it’s taken for the U.S. train-and-equip program to get started.

    “U.S. strategy in Syria to date has consistently undermined what rebel command and control structures exist, and as a result we’ve seen the Free Syrian Army disintegrate,” said Jennifer Cafarella, a Syria analyst at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, which has been generally critical of the administration’s approach in Syria.

    “The decision not to support the [Free Syrian Army] in its fight against the Assad regime in the wake of the August 2013 sarin gas attacks led to a vast loss of morale and rise in disillusionment with the West that in turn encouraged rebel commanders to take advantage of independent funding streams from other actors, predominately from the Gulf,” she said.

    The U.S. covert training program in Jordan that focused in some cases on new rebel brigades served to frustrate older, more established rebel forces, she said.

    Still, many believe the train-and-equip program, though limited, will begin to infuse rebel forces with the kind of training they need to more effectively challenge Islamic State fighters and bring some measure of stability to the country. The training may also amount to a morale boost, even if it is coming years after initial demands for direct U.S. military assistance for rebel forces at the beginning of the civil war in Syria.

    Defense officials say they recognize the challenges they face with the training program for rebels in Syria.

    “This is going to be hard,” one senior defense official said. “We have to recruit the guys, we have to assume that there are a lot of guys who are recruitable, there’s got to be some vetting,” the official said. “This is not going to be an easy enterprise here.”

    Syrian rebel Yarmouk Brigades ditch US and Israel allies,
    defect to ISIS

    The Syrian rebel militia Al Yarmouk Shuhada Brigades, backed and trained
    for two years by US officers, mostly CIA experts, in Jordan, and supported
    by the Israeli army, has abruptly dumped these sponsors and joined up
    with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, debkafile’s exclusive military
    and counter-terrorism sources reveal.

    The sudden defection of this 2,000-strong anti-Assad force leaves IDF defense
    formations on the Golan, US and Jordanian deployments in the northern part
    of the kingdom, and pro-Western rebel conquests in southern Syria
    in danger of collapse.

    The Brigades’ jump into the radical jihadi camp was negotiated in the last two weeks
    by its commander Mousab Ali Qarfan, who also goes by the name of Mousab Zaytouneh.
    He was in direct contact with ISIS chief Abu Baqr Al-Baghdadi, whom our sources report
    has recently relocated from Iraq to his northern Syrian headquarters at al-Raqqa.
