Nasser Kandil wrote: Al Bab city is the gateway

  • Al Babb city in the northern of Syria is witnessing maneuvers and confrontations that reflect all the complexities of the international and the regional game.
  • Turkey tries to show its eligibility in leading the war on ISISI and having control over the moderate opposition as called by it and its allies instead of the Syrian army in order to resolve this war.
  • Through Al Bab city Ankara wants to tell Washington and Moscow that it is a supposed cross point between them and that it is their alternative choice instead of the cooperation with the Syrian country and its army.
  • Ankara stumbles at the gates of Al Bab, it tries repeatedly to break through ISIS's points, it succeeds then it regresses.
  • Through Al Bab city Turkey can confine the Kurds in their strongholds between the cities of Ain Al Arab and Afrin, and thus it becomes an implicit partner in the security of Aleppo and grants the theory of the safe zone a practical aspect geographically.
  • What has happened yesterday through the new regression of Turkey and its militias to the gates of Al Bab city says that the war has one capable army; it is the Syrian army and its allies which proceed confidentially through bringing down the sites of ISIS toward Al Bab.
  • The Turkish aggression on the sites of the Syrian army to prevent its progress, and the Syrian Russian response complete the tale.
