Idlib as a jihadist paradise: Syrian Al-Qaeda tries its hand at agriculture
 [ALMASDARNEWS] The infamous term "Jihadist paradise", as Syrian Idlib province is often jokingly referred to, might stick to this islamist-held region in northwestern Syria for a longer period of time than one could think.Photos emerged in the Internet show that Syrian al-Qaeda branch, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), decided to try its hand at non-military activities, namely in agriculture. As it can be seen on the pictures below, jihadists have established artificial fish breeding farms in al-Ghab Plains in southwestern Idlib countryside, near the administrative border with Hama province: Idlib is one of the four so-called de-escalation zones defined by the agreement brokered by Russia, Iran and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... . With the agreement currently in action and HTS taking control of agriculture in the region, these activities may indicate that jihadists are planning to settle in Idlib for rather long time. Likewise, Idlib already became a home for lots of foreign murderous Moslems. Thus, Jisr al-Shoughour city in southwestern Idlib countryside can be legally called a "predominately Uighur city" as thousands of Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) jihadists and their family members have settled in the city since 2015, while many native citizens fled.
