More information about Salakhuddin Shishani’s moves after leaving the Caucasus Emirate in Syria:



This is a very bare bones account with only a very small amount of the information I have obtained, I will be writing a more detailed analysis soon.

Salakhuddin left CE in Syria with a group of his men, including Khayrullah Shishani (who was previously based in Latakia province and was also part of CE in Syria).

This is Khayrullah:

Salakhuddin and his remaining men formed a new group, Jaish al-Usrah (which is being referred to in Russian as Джайш Усро).

According to those close to him, Salakhuddin controls or has allegiances with fighters in various parts of Syria including in southern Aleppo where CE in Syria were based, Hama but also in Latakia where the group is fighting alongside local Syrian/Turkmen fighters.
