IDLIB, March 30 — A Russian jihadist has traded his weapons for wasabi by opening a small sushi restaurant in war-torn Syria's rebel-held northwest, as the conflict wanes and fighters look for other income.
"In the end I opened this sushi restaurant," the goateed man told AFP, standing near a banner displaying a fish, with slogans in Arabic, English and Russian. The group fought fierce battles against the Russian-backed Syrian regime in Aleppo, Idlib and Latakia provinces, and is considered close to the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Rebel-held Idlib is home to about three million people, around half of them displaced by 12 years of war. Shakhbanov said he imports many of his ingredients from Turkey — pickled ginger, soy sauce, prawns and even crab.
