I wonder if their government is subsidizing them in some way. But also looking at it most of them are on apartment buildings so it may just be that every tennant in the building chips in to a common fund to get them installed so they get lower electricity costs. Pretty smart investment since those panels last for decades and the cost will be covered way before they reach end of life.

I'm sure electric service has been patchy at best given the war ravaged state of things there.

ISIS subsidizing solar energy. What a timeline

They aren't being governed by ISIS.

Correct, it's the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.

Also wrong.

Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

Ah yeah, Wikipedia -- an ultimate source of symbolic truth, which points exactly at al-qaueda if you are not deliberately ignore it, morron

Al Qaeda and Isis aren’t the same thing, even acknowledging al-Sharaa was a part of al-Qaeda for several years and Al Nusra is just a spin off of AQ. Al Nusra and Isis have been fighting one another for over a decade.

While this is true, the new government seems to be loyal to people convicted of fighting for isis

I'm neither. You're the misinformed one here, and the people who downvoted me as well. Go to the link you provided.

  • click the link to the article for Ahmed Al-Sharaa
  • click the link to the article for Al-Nusra Front
  • see "part of" section in the overview: Al-Qaeda

Yes, they split several years ago. Insofar I have exaggerated. Are they substantially better in terms of authorianism and religious fundamentalism? I seriously doubt it.

Unless a Bibi or Donnie comes by and drops some bombs. Then thy usually don’t last that long.
