I really liked the video! But I feel like your voice volume in this video is way lower than in others often I can't hear you in my phone speaker with room noise
not even a minute in but your pronunciation is on point. This is such a breath of fresh air from most other western-facing creators. It shows you actually respect the subject matter at hand. I subscribed off that alone.
What is with the obsession with pronunciation overseas? I don't say anything when ya'll come over and speak broken English. Can Arabs even agree on a dialect?
Just as we shouldn't expect people who arnt native English speakers to pronounce the words perfectly maybe we shouldn't raise the standard that English speakers need to perfectly pronounce things in all other languages?
No, it sounds weird putting on a mock accent for certain words - it’s not pronunciation. Do you reckon he pronounces the “s” in Paris? Think about that, and that’s why it’s weird and inconsistent.
There is quite an error in this video. The SDF has controlled Manbij since all the way back in 2016. The city has been a federal part of Rojava for 8 years peacefully until the SNA brutally conquered it. Jut wanted to point this out cause else it gives the impression the SNA took territory that Syrian forces already controlled before.
@CoolAdam247 I'm assuming you just didn't look up the subject. You can just use wikipedia for this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Manbij_offensive. The SNA excecuted dozens of SDF fighters they capured and turkish drone strikes killed almost a dozen civilians. Thats a brutal attack in my book.
What happened to the reports that the Revolutionary Commando Army captured northern Damascus? Unless I missed it it wasn't mentioned at all in this video. Are the RCA and the HTS sharing their control of Damascus, did the RCA pull back from the city or were the reports wrong all along? I've heard many conflicting reports from different sources about who controls Damascus since the regime fell and as someone who only doesn't follow all this too deeply I'm pretty confused by it
The RCA, SOR and HTS have all mostly unified, so it isn’t really who controls where as much as they’re all controlling all of it together But you’re right, they did conquer northern Damascus iirc
As a Kurd, this video is totally inaccurate about the Kurdish issue it's like you don't even know what a Kurd is. Sounds like you got your info from reddit. Kurds are not a monolith and there are tons of Kurds in the Islamist rebels.
It’s pretty clear that Hilbert knows who the Kurds are given that he gave an explainer that the Kurdish language isn’t related to Arabic. Which parts are inaccurate? I don’t think that the Kurds were portrayed as a monolith here, it was just mentioned that the SDF started with the YPG which started as an explicitly Kurdish movement.
No at 7:18 Manbij was already under their control by the time of the november-december Opposition offensive’s. They captured Deir Ez Zor Al Abu Kamal and Dayr Hafir. Two of them have since been liberated from their occupation.
A loose Islamist government like Turkey's with democratic processes and republican protection of minorities and autonomy could be a bigger target for investment - and a greater partner for their own people and international cooperation - than the authoritarian Arab Socialist Baathists ever were. It's weird to think of so many rebel groups coming together and getting along to produce a unified front for a new Syria but it's not entirely unheard of... I imagine the Syrian people are tired of a decade+ of civil war and the way some of these groups have had tacit agreements before this bodes well for their prospects of cooperation with one another.
Hello Hilbert. So both Prof James Ker-Lindsay and you suggest that Turkey is to the fore of international tables this late November and December? Happy Christmas or Yuletide and a Happy New Year to you and anyone reading this comment.
None of the people you wish peace to contribute to the liberation, it was the "extremists" who went through actual hell and paid the blood price for their freedom, I think they have the right to rule as they see fit.
What I'd like to know is what the american delegation meant when they left saying that HTS has been "pragmatic". It's easy to imagine in US "diplomacy", pragmatic means HTS isn't left with much choice, but what choice is it? Will the US work with HTS/the next gvt, and maybe with Turkey too? Or will they still support the Rojava? Who will get the most money from oil in the North? Without it, the kurd rebellion is doomed. So what will it be?
The account of the history of HTS 0:42 is like something pulled down from Wikipedia. It is so much more complicated.. moreover, the HTS hadn’t formed back then. The names and flags used are confusion, and they aren’t interchangeable, and the groups you think they merged with , this merger was incomplete and it was *not the cause* or the sufficient condition for the formation of the Julani group in the first place.
For example they split with Liwa al Haqq. “According to the correspondent of "Nedaa Syria" that Tahrir al-Sham set roadblocks linking the towns of Sarmin, Nayrab and Mesibein, where the remnants of the "Sham Army", which affiliated with the "Islamic State" organization, and includes both Liwa' al-Haq and the brigade of David, as HTS set barriers on the road between the city of Idlib and Sarmin, the cities of Ariha and Sarakib, and brought military reinforcements from neighboring areas.” Parts of Jabhat Ansar ad Din Also left HTS. Jaysh al ahrar left HTS due to some issues about Muhaysini. “Jaysh al-Ahrar of Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham declared its defection and separation from the Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, due to what they described as the “painful events on the inner level of what’s happening on the ground that we would have never accepted”. Jaysh al-Ahrar is composed of members of Ahrar al-Sham and its leaders who joined Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham about 10 months ago, and they announced in a statement of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has received a copy of, they explained the reasons for the separation and they said that a recent leak in Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham diminishes the Sharia scholars, they also said that a Judicial Committee will be formed to look into the “rights”.”
The main scholars who were around at the start of the formation of HTS are not around, and the guy who is the religious ideologist of HTS today is named Abdul Rahim Atoun.
Greater Israel Project. Smart move of them to fund and arm the rebels and then once they win, call them terrorists to justify invading their land unchecked
Having seen how fast the Taliban swept up leftover US gear in 2021 the remnants of Syrian Arab anti-air missiles, warships and possible chemical weapons production sites could be falling into any of these groups hands and sold to whoever else in a pinch. Israel is right to be worried considering how they're already actively tangling with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and the Houthis simultaneously. Hopefully the rebel groups come together to form a united Syria that has good relations with Israel and Turkey... that's the plan/ideal anyway.
The whole reason this thing happened was so Israel could advance in Syria. Also those groups are friendly to Israel, almost subservient. Israel wouldn’t have been at threat from them.
One correction. The Israeli government has never suggested displacing anyone from the buffer zone in the eastern Golan Heights and permanently occupying it. The government HAS recently approved funding for housing growth in the Israeli side of the Golan Heights which were annexed back in the 1980s, but this is not in the buffer zone. Jerusalem has again and again clarified that their incursion beyond the border into the Syrian side of the Golan is temporary until it is determined a stable government is able to take control of the border on the Syrian side. While some Syrian Druze villages have requested to be annexed by the Israelis, Israel has given no indication that they intend this and certainly not planning on displacing peaceful residents.
Correction: The SDF did not fight against government forces. The fallen regime's army retreated from their areas and coordinated with PKK terrorists to hand them control over these areas without any fighting just to avoid rebels taking control of them.
Bro I have zero, none, nada beef with the sound. If I had any though, surely I’d see the hundred comments about it and not feel the need to add my own complaint…
This was a good video but there are two mistakes that should be corrected: Manbij was captured by the SDF in 2016 in an offensive that prompted the first direct Turkish intervention(Operation Euphrates Shield). It was held until the 2024 offensive by SNA/Turkey. The Manbij and Al Bab military councils are the primary SDF units in the region. There were some SAA and Russian troops in the region after Trumps pseudo pull out, but this was to orevent further Turkish attacks on Northern Syria, the administration of the region remained under AANES contorl Second, the SDF lost the areas of Tall Rifat in northen Aleppo province(but mainted Sheikh Maqsood neighborhood) during the SNA offensive. Prior to this they had attmepted to connect Manbij and Tall Rifat cantons by capturing abandoned government terrority. This violence dispalced some 200,000 to 300,000 Kurdish civilians, many of whom were already refugees from Afrin(made so during "Operation Olive Branch in 2018") As of today, the SDF has launched a counter offensive into Manbij. Across the Tishreen Dam, they appear to have captured several villiages Otherwise excellent video! Thank you!
15:56 well there is a lot isis memberd hiding in desert and mountains and also in prisons and their children and their wiwes in various camps in sdf territory so..........
Hey, was wondering. Can you show us some sources on your SDF claims here real quick? The very name change of PYD/YPG to SDF was an idea pitched to Pentagon since it was otherwise too obvious to anybody else besides the Turks. And can you explain us how democratic elections in that "democatic" forces work for example if Arabs are composing the majority of the forces? Lol
PYD is a political party. YPG is a military formation, SDF is the umbrella military organization (that the YPG is one of many arms of) No names changed there. You can easly use the google to find the constitution and by-laws etc etc etc for how their democratic program works. But none of that sharpens the ax you are trying to grind, so what ever.
13:37 What you didn't mention is that the Druze living in the villages under the new Israeli buffer zone requested Israel to annexe them out of fear from the HTS
No sources because not true. Netanyahu said that about the Golan Heights, which are occupied and settled since 67, but never about the new buffer zone, which he at least claimed is temporary
Why is SpongeBob so popular in this part of the world? Not just Iran, but Syria, too, apparently? I have not been able to find a satisfactory explanation as to why. 🤔
Just a technical complaint. Dude, the sound is too low and muffled. If I crank my computer's volume just to hear your video, all other sounds and notifications will play too loud.
You are not really saying who controls what, you spend 90% of the video describing the factions of syria ansd their politics. Nobody cares about those here. We came here to see who controls what in syria as said on the title. So should us a map with whayt each sides controls what those lands contain and thats it. Don't tell us the ideology nor the founding principal crap. We already know these as its old news. All we want to know is who contrals what. Simple!
Sadly I don't think the SDF will be able to hold any territory west of the Euphraties but if they can get into the negoitation room fast they might end up leading a government as part of a larger probably fredualised Syria. Less central power more district power. That will mean handing over thier milltary assets over to a central milltary which is, as always dangerous.
I think they’re very unlikely to achieve a federal Syria. Maybe autonomy within a Syria which is not federalised though. I think they’ll probably lose all areas which aren’t majority Kurdish (which is most of them) and end up resembling a less influential Iraqi Kurdistan, but with more progressive politics.

Less central power more district power. That will mean handing over thier milltary assets over to a central milltary which is, as always dangerous.
I think they’re very unlikely to achieve a federal Syria.
Maybe autonomy within a Syria which is not federalised though. I think they’ll probably lose all areas which aren’t majority Kurdish (which is most of them) and end up resembling a less influential Iraqi Kurdistan, but with more progressive politics.
1:39 It really sounds like Sinterklaas
I can't, my instagram mind can't unseen it now, so here it goes, the more "bad" the factions are in the thumbnail darker is there skin
Good catch.
2:32 what is SpongeBob doing in Syria
Yo pienso que será una post libia en siria
This comment section is filled with so much ignourance that is astounding
True
Literally every political statement ever.
@@dragonmaster3207 i have noticed an inclination in the west to unconditionally support the ypg like bruh they had a marine made RUclipsr make a propaganda video for how amazing they are even though they are a minority in the regions the control
I control some of syria
Okay video. Though the Alawites are also fighting in skirmishes near Russian bases reported by many people. Another L for USA Public accepting Taliban and Al-Qaeda as rulers as states-leaders.
Is it an L for the west to cheer on terrorists fighting terrorists?
Hilbert, this looks like a great video but I can't hear shit man.
When talking about Al Jolani, he was kicked from Al Qaeda I think(I’m not 💯) because he wasn’t Khawarij, learn what that means so you can implement using that word
There is more than 1000 faction in Syria and iam not exaggerating,
Op de dag van Sinterklaas...............💪😄
This video is now outdated
remember.
Nickelodeon help with the fall of the Assad regime.👍
SpongeBob was there.🗿
the SDF were the most progressive and open minded one
also the least corrupt and safer
No its basically kurdish forces , this video is just white washing them
Ie
The most civilized ones in the region
No they are just good at covering their crimes.
Yes, of course. Especially when they kidnap young women under the age of 18 and force them into compulsory service and fighting on raging fronts.😉😉
Bring Assad back!
Bliksem piebe wat in moai filmke

Man, Israel doing even more settler-colonialism, who would have thought?
They aren’t settling Golan
Yes, they are. The even said they want to settle it harder.
You're saying that like its a bad thing
@@ruskiytank5 not a bad thing?
@@shwanmirza9306 Not at all.
My friend, you don't know anything, but you have prepared something in your own way, but the Turkmens have never acted with the Kurds
The SDF has turkmen in the coalition, and there are also some jash in the SNA.
This is like seeing somebody deny that Yazidis and Assyrians are in the SDF.
♥️☀️💚
Kurdistan ❤❤☀️
repeating propaganda that the Syrians tried to attack isreal on 67 is stupid
So how was it according to your view?
