| Head of Druze minority calls on Sweida's youth to join army |
| 2015-06-11 |
| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Hikmat al-Hijri, Head of Druze sect in Syria has responded to Basher al-Assad's call to recruit youth in army, by issuing a statement demanding all youth, who have not join the army yet, to go to the military conscription centres and join the Syrian Army. The Druze might want to let that invitation pass. The statement titled "National Appeal" has been signed and stamped by al-Hijri stamp as 'Sheikh al-Aqel' od Syria's Druze in their stronghold in Sweida province. He encouraged youth to fulfil the national duty by joining the Syrian regime forces to defend their country and to stay within the city of Sweida. Syrian regime promised Druze and people of Sweida to keep their sons away from fighting areas, but that was not the truth, as many men from Sweida were killed in fighting and battles away from their cities and have no interest or benefits from. Al-Hijri's appeal coincided with the regime's deterioration in many fronts in Syria especially Horan as it planning to withdraw from Dara'a leaving it for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... 's (ISIS) to control. Moreover, the Druze Sheikh's appeal comes as a part of the Syrian regime's campaign to recruit as many youth as possible in army and its forces, to cover the losses in soldiers and officers of the regime's army besides fighters, using money as an incentive. |
