Syrian Tiger Forces are taking back territory from ISIS. The area surrounding the Al-Tanf Special Operations guerilla training misison/base is becoming a hotbed for insurgents that are mercenary proxy rebels including the ISIS and Russia wants U.S. Empire to cease allowing refugee "human shields" to become a cover for heinous assaults against Russian and Syrian troops in this area as the refugee camps are located near this base and are allowing a dark spot for the insurgent guerillas to hide and attempt to take territory from the Assad government. Operations in Africa and coups by U.S. trained African officers have increased insurgencies in Africa that provide the pretext for U.S. Empire and France/western corporations to control Africa's oil. U.S. AFRICOM escalation of militarized violence in Africa including recent special operations raids have increased the tempo of violence in Africa. All of this is designed for the U.S. war machine to control Africa's oil and minerals.
