Ahrar al- Sham announces suspension of negotiations about al- Zabadani due to the attempt of “evacuating al- Zabadani” from fighters and civilians
SOHR received a copy of announcement issued by the Islamic movement of Ahrar al- Sham concerning the negotiations held about al- Zabadani that has witnessed violent clashes between the local militiamen and Islamist factions against the Fourth Division, the Palestinian Liberation Army and Hezbollah. The announcement declared “we declared to our beloved people and our steadfast people in al- Zabadani the stop of negotiation with the Iranian delegation due to their insistence on evacuating al- Zabadani from the fighters and civilians towards other areas. O people of Syria, O the sons of blessed revolution of al- Sham, Syria has approached to pass critical point concerning its division and changing its demography. The plan of sectarian displacement, evacuation of Damascus, its vicinity and all areas adjacent to the border with Lebanon from the Sunni presence has reached to its last stages, where al- Zabadani is the first step of the last stage that will end in the Eastern Ghouta, God forbid”
Ahrar al- Sham Movement continue its announcement, “what is mentioned above is not analysis or parts of conspiracy theory but it is accurate and indisputable information. It is very essential that all parties are places in front of its responsibilities. The people of al- Zabadani have ennobled us when they have authorized us to defend their benefits and carrying out their hopes in finding honorable and humanitarian solution for this crisis but the case of al- Zabadani overpasses al- Zabadani and Ahrar al- Sham responsibility to becomes the case of whole Syria and to be the biggest rock that confronts the plan of division and sectarian displacement in Syria.”
The statement continued, “we had tried to balance between two sides of difficult equation; between the humanitarian situation of the safety of our people and the mujahedeen in al- Zabadani from one side and seeking not to jeopardize the future of Syria on the other, Syria that is sold by that idiot who is obedient to Iran. By the grace of Allah, we do our best and still exert our effective pressure, in that effort there were our beloved brothers from different factions with us but now we see that the matter has become regional and national affair relating with the Sunni sect in the area.”
The statement added, “we appeal all factions in Syria to recognize the danger of what has been planned, and to get lessons from the history about who happened to kings of sects and kingdoms, we are all on target, we call them all to provoke the battlefronts specially in Damascus and it vicinity to impose new reality on Iran and its fellow Bashar al- Assad and his militiamen. We also call all our scholars, heirs of the prophets, to bear their responsibilities before Allah and history, and to practice their roles in leading nation and to act urgently to guide the people and factions to what pleases Allah and preserve religion, land and women. We remind out regional allies that the Iranian place is not going to complete until they make ruins in their countries as they have made in Syria, and that the revolution of al- Sham is still the first frontline in facing the Iranian imperial project that fight in Syria but its eyes on Mecca and al- Madina.”
Lastly, Ahrar al- Sham Movement said, “the movement is going to communicate with our people and fighters in al- Zabadani, and with the most important factions, scholars, revolutionary and sincere figures in order to reach to one resolution. We say to our people in al- Zabadani, we scarify for you, and even though the distant between us is far but we are with you step by step doing our best to help you, so your lives are the priority. Our enemy knew that the destiny of their gangs and militiamen in the north is connected with yours.”
