Western ISIS Reporter Says America Wants To Divide Syria

Investigative journalist Jurgen Todenhofer, who in 2014 was the first western journalist to visit ‘ISIS/Islamic State’ territory has told RT that the new ceasefire is holding and that there is a real chance for peace in Syria. However, he expressed doubts if peace will materialize, since some US politicians are constantly adding fuel to the fire and trying to divide Syria up into a fractured war zone. Russia Today reports: “There is a move now from the rebels to separate their brigades from those of the terrorists, and this gives an opportunity to attack Al Nusra and other Al Qaeda groups, without attacking the rebels,” the 75-year-old told RT in a Skype interview, saying he had spoken to several sources inside the country, since the US and Russia-mediated agreement came into force. “Every day that this is holding, this is a wonderful day for people. They are happy, and I am more optimistic, because there are now contacts between the rebels and the government.” Journalist who returned from #ISIS HQ tells RT how jihadists can be defeated https://t.co/EO1nr5UOGA pic.twitter.com/xq7Q2mgeKE — RT (@RT_com) November 22, 2015 Moscow says there have been over 30 violations of the ceasefire in the past three days, [...]
