Syria group says military chief arrested in UAE

DAMASCUS: Syrian armed group Jaish al-Islam said its leader was arrested upon arrival at Dubai airport several days ago as supporters gathered in Damascus to demand his release.

Since 2015, Issam Buwaydani has been head of Jaish al-Islam, a group that fought against the now-ousted ruler Bashar al-Assad and once controlled the Eastern Ghouta area near Damascus.

After Syria’s new authorities announced the dissolution of armed groups following Assad’s December overthrow, Jaish al-Islam was integrated into the new Syrian forces and Buwaydani became a defence ministry official.

Two sources close to Buwaydani told AFP that he had been arrested Thursday at Dubai airport as he was leaving the United Arab Emirates.

Requesting anonymity because the matter is sensitive, they said he had entered the UAE on a Turkish passport.

“We do not know the reasons for his arrest,“ one of the sources said, adding that Buwaydani was on a private visit to the Gulf country.

“The Syrian government has been in contact with the Emirates” but has not received a response, the source added.

Jaish al-Islam’s chief military spokesman Hamza Bayraqdar on messaging app Telegram appealed for “the immediate and unconditional release” of Buwaydani, calling him “one of the symbols of the Syrian revolution”.

The UAE has not confirmed Buwaydani’s arrest.

Earlier this month the Emirates welcomed Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa for his first official visit to the country.

Sharaa’s Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) led the coalition that ousted Assad on December 8.

Several dozen people gathered in Damascus’ Umayyad Square on Monday to demand Buwaydani’s release, urging their government to intervene in the matter.

“I am demonstrating here to send a message to the UAE and to the new Syrian government, and specifically to the foreign minister, to demand the release of the heroic leader Issam Buwaydani,“ Abu Khaled Nassif, one of the protesters, told AFP.

Buwaydani took over Jaish al-Islam after the killing of its founder, Zahran Alloush, in 2015.

Activists have blamed Jaish al-Islam for the December 2013 kidnapping of four human rights activists including Syrian lawyer and journalist Razan Zeitouneh.

The group, which withdrew to northwest Syria after Assad’s forces retook the Ghouta area, has denied the allegations.

Since Assad’s overthrow, Buwaydani has appeared next to Sharaa on several occasions.

Former Jaish al-Islam member Majdi Nema goes on trial in France this week for alleged involvement in war crimes in Syria between 2013 and 2016.

2025, Yungblud released the single Hello Heaven, Hello from his fourth studio album, Idols.
In September of 2017, he released I Love You, Will You Marry Me, a song about
a dark, modern-day love story.
‘While there’s some really good songs on it, it wasn’t the project that
I wanted to make,’ he admits. Hit the top spot in December 2020 he began writing material that would feature on Idols, but he was talked
out of the project and instead shepherded down a path of safer songs.
Since his emergence in 2018, Yungblud has become an in-demand songwriter
and performer. ‘I really want to show the world what I can do now as a
songwriter,’ he tells M from his hotel in New York. Even so, the era that Yungblud, real name Dominic Harrison,
is about to enter with his new double album — the first part of which, titled Idols, is out now — reaches for new levels of ambition.

Before he pursued his music career, Yungblud studied at Arts Educational Schools in London. Dom’s transformation from actor to musician wasn’t
exactly smooth sailing. Yeah, that’s right–the punk rock rebel got his start on British soap operas!

Then, facing a third-and-13, Goff checked down for a short gain, and Jack Fox blasted a 70-yard
punt that went out of bounds at the 1-yard line.
A holding penalty, fumble-turned-sack, and checkdown led
to a punt, giving the Lions offense another opportunity to figure things out.
But Minnesota’s offense proved to be just as pathetic.
On the very first play, Goff’s pass for St. Brown was jumped by Vikings safety Harrison Smith for the Vikings’ second interception on consecutive passes.
Detroit’s miserable day on offense continues. The Vikings retook the lead by playing some
bully-ball and establishing some push on the line
of scrimmage.

finishing with a touchdown grab by Isaac TeSlaa tied up the matchup.

Things were looking very bad for the Lions as their offense failed to score until the
closing 65 seconds of the half. Amon-Ra St. Brown muscles
for a first down early on, but a false start on Giovanni Ricci at midfield on fourth-and-1 results in a
punt.
