I’ll send you updates as Manbij falls, and we can watch from our armchairs, eating popcorn...
It is now officially panic time for jihadis in Manbij - there are no prison camps for them to end up in, only graves - and space is going fast.
The White House “heat map” is dated August 2016 and reveals “a stunning three-fold increase in the number of places around the globe where ISIS is operating.”“U.S. State Department documents indicated that in 2014, when the U.S. military began its campaign to destroy the extremists, there were only seven nations in which the fledgling state was operating,” NBC News said. “By 2015, according to the State Department’s own numbers, there were nearly double that – 13 countries.”
ISIS is still expanding because the 2016 map lists eighteen countries where “ISIS is fully operational,” plus “aspiring branches” in Egypt, Indonesia, Mali, the Philippines, Somalia, and Bangladesh.
Fighting ISIS = spreading ISIS, exactly as planned.

Thanks for posting these maps.
They show the day-by-day progress in the fight against ISIS in Aleppo.
All the news talks about is Trump.
ISIS is now split into isolated groups.
Lots of them are going to meet Allah soon.
Hope you don’t mind but I’ve borrowed few of these maps and posted them to other FR threads.
BeauBo gets the credit—he found these daily battle maps of Aleppo.
They are fascinating—glad you are spreading them around.
Where did you get these great maps?
Former Navy SEAL (Now a journalist) Chuck Pfarrer deserves the credit for the maps - https://twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer
He is covering the battle in Manbij, the so-called “Little London” of ISIS in Syria. It was the main base for their foreign fighters. It was also the main place from which ISIS planned and coordinated attacks in the West. Reportedly, English and German had become common languages around town.
The Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have had Manbij surrounded for two months, and have killed the majority of the ISIS jihadis there. They are nearing complete victory, as they keep unrelenting pressure on ISIS, and kill dozens every day.
They are doing the West a great service by eliminating these particular jihadis, who are among the most threatening tp Western civilians.
Looks like they have seperated ISIS into two pieces and surrounded both.
Allah is desperately cranking out raisins or virgins.
The Manbij campaign is coming along quite well.
From the stuff I’m seeing on liveleak it seems like there’s a set back in Aleppo.
The eastern pocket is going fast.
I would guess that the Eastern pocket goes first as well. They were flushed out from there earlier, and re-occuppied it, so a lot of their prepared defenses IEDs and such have already been fired.
But it depends on the where the SDF puts its priority as well.
No sleep tonight for most ISIS. The Kurds have been quite active at night.
The end draws near.
It's gone.
They are down to one square kilometer - less than they have been losing per day lately. Some sources have begun calling Manbij captured. https://www.yahoo.com/news/arab-kurd-alliance-seizes-syria-stronghold-manjib-monitor-083739659.html
Is that a Kurdish held corridor that cuts through on the left hand side of the pocket?
Looks like it is over in Manbij.
A bunch of Kurds celebrating on twitter, and saying that they have swept through the city center. I guess that they will have a few stragglers to police up over the next day or two, but that is probably it for the airstrikes.
Good riddance to bad ISIS rubbish. Does not seem to be many prisoners (if any).
This was a hard fought victory for the Kurds - they have pretty much run out of medical supplies in their areas of Northern Syria, due to casualties from Manbij. God bless them.
City Hall was captured, so they celebrated the fall of the city, but the last of ISIS has taken a bunch (hundreds?) of civilian hostages as human shields. They are down to the last few city blocks.
