Popular Front Podcast // 18. Rise of the Tiger Forces
Gregory Waters tells us all about the Tiger Forces in Syria, the pro Assad regime militia that's seen as heroes to some and war criminals to others. We'll find out why their leader is so enigmatic, how they're working with with the Russian military, and what power they really hold over the region.
The conflict in East #Ukraine has become a slow but constant battle from the trenches. Young soldiers are killed almost every week and the #Russian backed separatist held regions are still under the rule of an iron fist, yet the media, both in Ukraine and internationally, seems to have forgotten that Ukraine is still at war.
We got some updates on the current state of the conflict from Radio Free Europe's Christopher Miller, who's been covering the conflict from the start.
