Al Masdar I am less and less attracted to this map My last edit is probably several weeks ago old maybe months As long as we use Al Masdar as a direct source this map will not change and will stay the same and outdated Basically i just canot believe that we use a source which autor is Leith Fadel banned 2 times from twitter for racism and fascism voice He openly makes fun for civilians casulties praises foreign forces in Syria Iran Hezbollah etc calls for the extermination of 200k rebels in Syria calls for killing civilians in Jisr Shugur Qariatajn etc because they are traitors etc Now to get back to Al Masdar Basically every article contains like 70 of fictinal content which was just made up to fill in the gap i know that because twitter users always make fun of him on twitter because he posts things which can t be theoretically true The best last examples are According to Al Masdar the SAA has recaptured Jazal oilfield for 2 times already actually they wrote 3 articles in first they said SAA repeld ISIS atacks on Jazal next article is SAA recaptured Jazal next article is SAA recaptured Jazal area after clashes with ISIS The next example is Deir Ezor ISIS SOHR and rebel sources said that ISIS advanced around the airport and captured some areas including the missile battalion While Al Masdar denied any ISIS advance and said that SAA is actually advancing Their next article is actually even more weird they wrote SAA repeled ISIS attacks on the airport which is contradictionary because now suddenly SAA is actually still inside the airport To make this even worse next Al Masdar article says that SAA recaptured the missile batalion which is again contradictionary beacuse they said that SAA never lost it Next example is Kanaker town south of Damascus Al Masdar is convincing us that this town is under SAA control and always was and now suddenly 3 years later they write an article where they say At least 500 rebels surender in Kanaker i mean In my opinion Al Masdar canot be used as a Direct source for edits because their Syria articles are writen by Leith Fadel and he basically has no idea what s happening in Syria those who follow him on twitter know that He was actually talking with Aris Rousinos on twitter a guy from Vice news who was in Hasaka and Leith Fadel was convincing him that his reports are fake and that everything what he said was a lye YPG never captured those areas etc i mean That s it from me i don t really have time to argue about this
