CADRE EARLY RELEASEA first person account from reporter Sean Williams (New Yorker, Harpers) of what it was like inside the battle of Marawi, where Filipino ISIS fighters laid siege to the island city in 2017 for six months. - popularfront.co- @jake_hanrahan

I posted asking you all to send me questions that I'd answer in a bonus episode. So here it is. Sorry for rambling and thanks for the interaction.

This is a short reading from a section of the book I'm writing about under-reported wars. This is a snapshot of a scenario from 2015 when I was headed to the town of Silopi in southeast Turkey, where the ceasefire had completely broken down between the PKK Kurdish fighters and the state. Skip to the six minute mark if you don't want to hear me rambling about Popular Front beforehand. (Photo there is by my one of my favourite photographers: cagdaserdogan.com)

CADRE PATRON EARLY RELEASEHans goes into very deep detail about the Syriac/Assyrian "Christian militias" fighting in Iraq and Syria, and explains why they shouldn't be categorised by their religious affiliations. NOTE: My laptop broke down before I could finish the outro. The full version will be finished properly mentioning all the $30+ Patreons once I get it fixed tomorrow or tonight.

I decided to add an extra award to the $10 NEWGUERRILLA Patreons the other day--that is a read out of articles I've that could come under the Popular Front umbrella. First one is for everyone. The others will just be for $10.If you'd rather just read the article it's here: https://www.esquire.com/uk/life/a18019/from-the-dole-queue-to-the-front-line-the-scottish-man-who-left-to-fight-isis-in-syria/

CADRE EARLY ACCESS EPISODESThis one is all about the frozen conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

In this bonus episode I've recorded a radio article thing I'll be doing for the BBC soon. You get it first as I thought you'd like it. It's all about the week I spent at an Azov Battalion fascist summer camp for kids. The film I made about that is here: https://www.jakehanrahan.com/azov-youth

This is a short bonus episode where I explain how I brought the daft-as-a-brush ISIS fighter Abu Hajaar to the world. If you haven't already seen him, here he is: https://www.jakehanrahan.com/abuhajaarThis video spawned hundreds of memes all across the internet. In the end, Abu Hajaar, a member of the despicably violent ISIS, was martyred "for the lols".
