ISIS In Action
In Sirte, the Government of National Accord’s (GNA) Bunyan Marsus coalition continues to advance pinning ISIS into an ever smaller part of the city — tightening the noose around ISIS militants holed up in its central areas. Sirte’s port remains under the control of Bunyan Marsus, but clashes with ISIS continue to take place around the port’s western perimeter. GNA naval boats are blockading the port, while intense fighting is now taking place near the Ouagadougou Centre, ISIS’s main stronghold, with Misratans making heavy use of airstrikes and artillery fire to take out ISIS snipers. Bunyan Marsus leaders say that the coalition has killed large numbers of ISIS fighters who have attempted to break out of their encirclement — lashing out by launching Grad missiles at Bunyan Marsus forces on 10 July in the first, second and third residential districts as well as in the university campus. Bunyan Marsus leaders have optimistically said they expect the battle to be completed within the next two weeks, although most serious analysts predict a more drawn out battle.
There is a suspicion that the senior ISIS leadership has already evacuated from Sirte. Informed sources say that Libyan ISIS members have attempted to defect to friendly Islamist militias south of Sirte, some of whom are nominally aligned with the Misratans. The Misratans are also increasingly bitter at what they see as the failure of Fayez Serraj and the GNA’s Presidency Council to provide supplies and armaments that they need for the operation. This bitterness could increase the likelihood of a new Misratan-Islamist convergence against the GNA once the anti-ISIS campaign in Sirte has concluded.

Yesterday the defense secretary of the invading country US made an unannounced visit to Kabul where he exaggerated to his troops, granted new powers to commander Nicholson and talked about keeping 400 extra precautionary troops in region close to our homeland.
Such repetitive and futile statements can never heal the wounds of America because many of her generals have exhausted themselves here, many troops have been killed, maimed and developed mental illnesses, and she has used vast powers and made many boastful speeches.
American leaders should accept the realities instead of giving empty talk, end the occupation and save yourselves from international shame through use of reason and logic.
Our struggle against the invaders shall continue until the complete independence of our country and establishment of pathway for an Islamic system. No threat can ever stop our struggle in this path.
American leaders including the defense secretary should have learnt much from their predecessors. Many plans have been aborted here and many generals and armies handed defeat and disappointment.
Keeping a few hundreds troops in a far region and giving greater powers to your commander to kill and terrorize would have only worked if we had already not witnessed your savagery of 2001, Guantanamo, Bagram, night raids and wholesale destruction of villages and cities through your bombardments.
