Syria’s al-Nusra Announces Split from al-Qaeda

In a long awaited dec­la­ra­tion, the leader of [what was for­merly known as] Jah­bat al-Nusra, Abu Muham­mad Al-Julani declared the dis­so­lu­tion of Nusra and in an all the more dras­tic step, the for­ma­tion of a new group, Jab­hat Fath al-Sham, which would no longer be affil­i­ated with al-Qaeda. The dec­la­ra­tion comes as no sur­prise, as debates inside and out­side of the group have been brew­ing over the past months over the need to break with al-Qaeda, a debate which was all the more exac­er­bated fol­low­ing the for­ma­tion of the inter­na­tional coali­tion against ISIS and the ten­sions that emerged between Nusra and other Jihadist fac­tions such as Ahrar al-Sham. In fact, sev­eral key fig­ures in Nusra have long advo­cated for this split. The most promi­nent of whom was Abu Maryam al-Qahtani.

This Bloody Coup Attempt, Specifically Initiated at the Expense of Massacring their Own People, is TERRORISM! - Media Office of HT Wilayah Turkey

Yesterday evening a “Military Coup” attempt has been initiated by those who have no notion of this ancient people’s values nor its Islamic identity, has caused, just like a bloody “terrorist” attack, a massacre of innocent Muslims. This reckless bloody initiated coup attempt has brought the soldiers who are the sons of Muslims, with the Muslim people and the police face to face, this caused the deaths of hundreds of people and thousands wounded. We in  Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Turkey  strongly condemn and reject this bloody coup initiation and pray to Allah to have mercy for the murdered Muslims.
