‘Bound to fail’: Dividing Syrian rebels into moderates & extremists is useless, study says
‘Attempts to divide Syrian rebels into moderates and extremists are “bound to fail,” according to a think-tank run by the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. The groups banded together based on pragmatism, not ideology, the report suggests.
The report, published by the Centre on Religion & Geopolitics on Monday, states that groups form coalitions when they share objectives – regardless of ideology. It cites examples of Islamists and non-Islamists battling Assad and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) together.
“Syrian nationalists and Kurdish separatists fight ISIS together in the Syrian Democratic Forces coalition in the east,” the report states, adding that “groups also tend to be spread out all over Syria; some fighting each other in one part of the country while other members are in coalition elsewhere.”’
