Paragraph 3.3.2[edit]

"Moderate and conservative Islamists"... "moderate... Islamist"... lol who wrote this, the CIA? XD

ONLY Southern rebels are opposed to Al-Nusra[edit]

The article should specify that only the southern rebels (which are a very small faction) are opposed to Al-Nusra. Northern rebels are staunchly pro Al-Nusra and coordinate with them. "Some factions" is a thereby a very imprecise term, since the southern rebels numbers are very small in comparison with the ones from the north. The northern factions cited in the article only nominally condemn al-nusra, while in practice they militarily coordinate with them. Idlib was taken by al-nusra coordinating with these northern factions cited in the article!

Kharijites[edit]

Nusra can not be of Kharijites, since it fights them. See ref. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/01/09/who-are-the-kharijites-and-what-do-they-have-to-do-with-isis

Twitter sources[edit]

Twitter sources should be fine in some cases, but their number and use in this article looks worrying and I'm pretty sure they aren't always used in an adequate way. Not sure what the best template would be. 109.119.227.121 (talk) 02:03, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
