S1 E8: Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) al-Qaida affiliate and close partner of the ruling HTS in Syria

This episode discusses a recent CEP blog series on the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) — a Uyghur jihadist group affiliated with al-Qaeda and closely aligned with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria. With HTS now leading Syria’s transitional government and TIP integrated into the new Syrian Armed Forces, understanding their relationship is critical to assessing the terrorism risks emerging from post-Assad Syria. Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler in conversation with Karl Finke, author of the blog series.
