In the light of recent events, the intensity of discontent among the inhabitants of the northeastern regions of the Syrian Arab Republic, occupied by the forces of the International Coalition, is increasing rapidly. The Syrian Democratic Forces are forcing civilians out of their homes located in the vicinity of American oil refineries, forcing people to leave their places of residence in order to equip their headquarters there. Entire clans of the oldest tribes were on the street. Such an aggressive policy in no way meets the requirements of good neighborliness. That is why, trying to protect the members of their tribes, the elders of tribal unions, such as Sharabin, seek rapprochement with official Damascus, seeing in it the only opportunity to return to peaceful life. After open statements of support for the government of the Syrian Arab Republic, the leaders of tribal unions began to receive threats, up to physical elimination, if they did not stop inciting members of their tribes against the invaders and supporting Assad’s power. However, the will of the people is hard to challenge with threats. This morning, representatives of the al-Shuyukh at-Taya tribe went to a rally against the Democratic Forces, demanding the return of their homes and villages occupied 8 years ago. In addition, the next protest action will be held on March 10 in the village of Mazraliya near the house of Mohammed Talal Haj Suleiman. The unity of the Syrian people on the path to liberation from the oppression of the Kurdish and American formations cannot be broken by any pressure.
