🔸Les tensions s’intensifient aux abords du Tribunal constitutionnel à Varsovie, où de nouveaux manifestants continuent d’affluer.

[Loujaine @Loujainelaa]

A few days in Tbilisi, where I had the opportunity to take part in a study day and share some of my research. Really interesting discussions and a great opportunity to exchange perspectives with researchers working on the Caucasus!

[Taysum @YTaysum]

@Ibnop4 Basically, disagreements on Azhiev’s actions in Turkey and the religious judgment of « Zakaev’s government and politics » + the status of fighting in Ukraine.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Quiet week so far in terms of news on the evolution of the situation;

Mass raids and search’s for resistants still ongoing.

Niyso keeps mentioning the « group of mujahiddîn » while Chalaev is still posting stories mainly related to the topic.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

(Not to mention that there is a huge beef between NIYSO and Azhiev)

[Taysum @YTaysum]

He added that Azhiev acted for the 'benefit of the Chechens' (excusing him as usual) before reiterating that his sole target was NIYSO, whom he vowed to turn into 'rabbits.’

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Abductions and raids are intensifying, with even personal sources reporting several kidnappings, particularly outside mosques. The search for jama'ah members is still ongoing, and NIYSO's statement that no mujahid has been captured yet seems to be confirmed by these measures.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Z.Chalaev posted a new post in which he says the government offers a $100,000 reward for information on the whereabouts of "wanted terrorists". He also promised a "safe return to a peaceful life for radicalized individuals who have not yet committed violent crimes."

[Taysum @YTaysum]

🚨 NIYSO just reported that the uprising is led by 30 mujahiddîn. Whole Chechnya is under maximal alert.

The info comes from contacts from within the regime’s employees.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Anyways, so far, all the reports they made have been corroborated by the russian security forces and Chalaev’s stories (Turpal’s notice, his death, Tchernorechye fights, the research’s still being conducted, etc…).

To be followed closely.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

General overview of the live :

NIYSO basically followed the usual format of their lives (Q/A), focused on the recent events. A lot was said in terms of duty to resist and of how « Turpal has woke up the hearts of a lot of young people ready to fight in Chechnya. »

[Taysum @YTaysum]

[Taysum @YTaysum]

As for the « written announcement of an Amir », they didn’t talk about it today.

I honestly don’t think that they just hyped it up - given the status of NIYSO and Kadyrov’s propaganda, this would be too big of a bet. There may have been a security or personal protection’s issue.

🇫🇷 Dans les faits, le seul djihadiste français à avoir explicitement appelé à voter lors d’élections françaises est Omar Omsen, recruteur de djihadistes en Syrie, en faveur de Marine Le Pen en 2017.

Dans un entretien à Complément d’enquête, il déclarait :
« Si les Français ne veulent pas la guerre, ils votent Marine Le Pen. Elle est une femme, qui est on peut dire raciste, mais au moins elle défend les vraies valeurs de la France. Cette femme a demandé aux troupes françaises de revenir parce que cette guerre-là ne les concernait pas. Eh bien, elle a tout à fait raison. »

Il justifiait ce vote par le fait que le Front national était, à ses yeux, le parti le moins interventionniste militairement (notamment sur le Mali, et par extension sur la Syrie), et donc celui qui laisserait le plus tranquille les pays musulmans. (Sa position est sûrement plus la même depuis le revirement du RN sur la question palestinienne).

Il y avait aussi Mohamed Hichem Medjoub (auteur de l’attentat à la bombe de Lyon en mai 2019) qui selon les enquêteurs, avait choisi de poser son colis piégé juste avant les élections européennes afin de faire monter le vote du RN. Il estimait que le RN était le parti le plus susceptible de créer les conditions d’une guerre civile et d’une polarisation de la société, favorables à ses idées.

Sinon, dans l’immense majorité des cas, les djihadistes français sont apolitiques au sens démocratique et rejettent le système en bloc. Leur référence centrale est la hakimiyya : le pouvoir n’appartient qu’à Dieu, et tout système politique humain (démocratie, partis, vote) est rejeté comme de l’association à Dieu. Voter pour un parti laïc, en plus d’être considéré comme indigne (attendre la protection d’un non-musulman), peut même être considéré comme de l’apostasie.
Et sur le plan moral, la droite française, même la plus identitaire, reste bien plus proche de la gauche française, même la plus à gauche, que des djihadistes.

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Government’s own propaganda group "MARSHO" too started a live on telegram at the same hours to counter NIYSO’s one. It notably got relayed by Chalaev in his story, probably knowing a lot of young people will be listening to NIYSO tonight

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Turpal-‘Ali’s father and mother have been abducted by the regime. Not sure if they got released or not

@usernxco Ça a pas mal bugé sur le moment et c’était assez périphérique au sujet, j’ai pas retenu, mais c’était une sorte d’analogie. Tu peux essayer de retrouver le moment où Vakha s’exprime, c’était au début du live

[Taysum @YTaysum]

Vakha Ibragimov (former Dzhokhar Dudayev’s political advisor) quoting Talleyrand was not on my bingo card

@macino36668523 In the flatlands of Chechnya, I would say that something of this scale (supposedly 30 freedom fighters currently) has not happened since ~2010. From the 2010s to today, the attacks were mainly lone-wolf ones, or on a much smaller scale in terms of jama’ah (6 to 10 insurgents).

[Taysum @YTaysum]

The first part is focused on the hukm (religious judgement and validity) of Turpal-‘Ali’s resistance and the refutation of Russian security force’s stance and version of the story.
