Poco después de imponer control total sobre la imperativa ciudad de Maydaa (Mide’a), el Ejército Árabe Sirio (EAS) empujó más hacia el oeste y logró entrar en el pequeño pueblo de Mid’anah en los alrededores de Damasco.

Hace unos momentos, las fuerzas de EAS incluso capturaron la parte oriental de Mid’anah aunque ahora los enfrentamientos están teniendo lugar en su parte occidental en estos momentos.

Una fuente militar en la zona afirmó que, hasta el momento, unos 20 combatientes islamistas han muerto en y alrededor de Mid’anah; no especificó el número de muertos en el EAS.

Mientras tanto, informes preliminares sugieren Jaish al-Islam están retirándose rápidamente de la región, lo que deja pocas esperanzas para las zonas controladas por los rebeldes en la bolsa de la Guta oriental, que ha disminuido significativamente en 2016.

Si el EAS es capturar la Guta oriental por completo, esto probablemente resultará en un efecto dominó que finalmente llevará a las tropas del gobierno a limpiar la capital siria en su totalidad.

Un mapa completo de la región de la Guta oriental de Damasco está disponible aquí.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
