Daesh will disperse, orders will fail

Daesh was founded in 2004 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was trained at al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan and later moved to Iraq. Al-Zarqawi took advantage of the vacuum that developed as a result of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, their violent practices and exclusion of Sunni Arabs. As a matter of fact, a massive vacuum in political rule had also emerged in the Syrian and Iraqi regions. Zarqawi was shortly supported by the local Sunni tribes as well as Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief. Zarqawi was also followed by thousands of foreign fighters who wanted to establish a caliphate and were excluded from local political participation.


As the sectarian and ethnic dialectics were activated and regional regimes lost reputation and their legitimacy to rule, Daesh started to be “destructive hope” in place of these. Insurgents flocked from all corners of the world to Iraq and Syria. The impassioned spirit of jihad was combined with rebellion and suicide. Following the collapse of political regimes and regional imperialism post-Ottoman era, it built itself as destructive hope. Youth living in poverty, working for peanuts in Indonesia’s rice fields, youth otherized in France’s slums and abandoned to poverty and identity crisis, youth excluded from political participation in Algeria and hence marginalized, ran to “jihad” for hope. They were being promised death, heaven, greatness – and, of course, money. The more Middle East regimes went into a legitimacy crisis and the more they were kept away from the chance to renew themselves, Daesh emerged, as did new uprising operations. The Arab Spring was a solution option that could not be utilized. The lack of options that followed the solution option triggered the move toward weapons and rebellion. This is seen clearly in Egypt as well. The uprising is now rising from Sinai.


According to numerous research conducted in Europe, Daesh is collecting insurgents from 80 countries. It sells oil, it does trade. It uses global technology tools professionally. Through its discourse, it almost creates the perception that it is the spokesperson for the Middle East’s order. For example, Daesh demolishing the border between Syria and Iraq with bulldozers is quite interesting in this sense. Daesh is also developing a revolt economy. This revolt economy that is intertwined with smugglers, the mafia, weapon traders, are the lifelines of Daesh and other insurgency movements. They also support them whenever needed. They protect their terrorists within the state, they turn a blind eye and provide help during border crossings. Everything in the capitalist world has a monetary value. These range from forgiving terrorists, allowing them to cross the border, protecting them at the time of arrest through mafia networks within the military and civil bureaucracy. All this clearly shows that the world order is going through deep moral corruption. I hope Fukoyama’s ears are burning. Now this is the end of capitalism.


Daesh is suppressed by the coalition powers established by countries such as the U.S., Russia, the U.K., France and Turkey. This structure has been wiped out of many areas including Raqqa and Mosul. But we should be careful. The world’s biggest states are able to do this by using their weapons, intelligence networks and propaganda mechanisms. The entire world is able to gather for a single uprising operation and reach a conclusion. This is the failure of the world order.


Daesh is currently moving, being killed or, with certain offers, their commanders are changing fronts. Some 54,000 foreigners were prohibited from entering Turkey alone, while some 5,000 were deported. Other countries are also doing this and they will continue to do so.


Bribery, cooperation with imperialism, the irresponsibility of the elites and the deepening injustice of economic distributions are producing a very fertile sociology for insurgents in the Middle East.


This is where Daesh and other terrorist groups emerge. Unless this is taken into consideration and unless we see our own regional reality, we cannot possibly overcome these revolts. As long as the world order continues to do business within a network based on cooperation with imperialism, the mafia, weapon traders and smugglers, these uprisings will not end. Daesh has revealed a reality that can no longer be reversed: The Middle East is no longer the old Middle East. The regimes and ideologies that were established post-Ottoman era, based on the order of the British and French (Sykes-Picot), cannot continue their existence in these communities. Similar to the way the revolt operations in the Umayyad era ended the Umayyad order and replaced it with the Abbasid order, the Daesh uprising has also ended the existence of this Middle East order and is forcing it to a new order. Of course, the owners of this new order will not be the insurgents.
