Arab clans' notables: Mamlouk aims to sow discord between NE, Syria components

On the recent meeting held by Ali Mamlouk, head of the National Security Office in the Syrian regime at Qamishlo airport with some Arab sheikhs and Arab clans' notables in Al-Jazeera canton, asking them to withdraw their children from the ranks of the Syrian Democratic Forces, notables and sheikhs of al-Raqqa city described these repeated individual invitations at a time when We don't mind the SDF being part of a unified Syrian army, which does not help in solving the Syrian crisis but rather complicates it more as the geography occupied by Turkey expands in conjunction with the re-emergence of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra in the areas cleared of their abomination during the past years.

In this context, Sheikh Hassoun al-Murandi, the sheikh of al-Mardaniya clan, responded to Ali Mamlouk's request, saying: "This is clear evidence that the Syrian regime is still adhering to the central mindset in governance and does not want to solve the Syrian crisis, nor negotiate and sit at the Syrian-Syrian dialogue table, to draw a road map ending the suffering of the Syrian war.

Sheikh Hassoun al-Murandi added, “How can we be satisfied to withdraw our children from SDF? It is the one that liberated, defended, and fought fierce battles against ISIS mercenaries, and threw them from Kobani to their last stronghold in Deir-ez-Zor in al-Baghuz, and they presented thousands of martyrs in order to get rid of terrorism, which received direct support from the Turkish state and others. "

On the Sheikhs who had participated in the meeting with Ali Mamlouk, Sheikh Hassoun al-Murandi indicated, "The Clans' sheikhs who attended the meeting on Mamlouk represent only themselves and do not have the right to decide the fate of their children who have joined SDF's ranks because of their firm belief that it is the only force that represents the peoples of the region."

The Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, said in a tweet on his account on the Twitter application earlier that he has no objection to the Syrian Democratic Forces being part of a unified Syrian army, but while preserving the privacy and formations of SDF, this came after an invitation to the head of the regime for clans and individually to withdraw its children from SDF's ranks and join the regime's army.

On the other hand, Sheikh Ramadan, the sheikh of al-Ali clan, spoke about the Turkish aggression, in which Erdogan exceeded all international norms and traditions, hitting the wall, invading a neighboring and sovereign state and a member of the United Nations and committing the most heinous massacres against their peoples.

He added, “Turkey today increases the suffering of the Syrian people and used all kinds of weapons and even internationally prohibited, and before the eyes of all humanity on the pretext of the "safe zone”, asking about the peace that Erdogan claims, and he shed the blood of thousands of the peoples of the region without distinguishing between a man, child or woman, hundreds of thousands of indigenous people were displaced and the region's demography changed.

Sheikh Ramadan al-Rahal, relied on the role of all Arab countries, especially Egypt, by "standing up for one man and one vote against Turkey," and he said: "Since childhood, we have learned in schools that Arab countries are sister nations that help each other when they are in distress and adversity." The Arab countries should review their accounts, know that the Turkish threat is now threatening all Arab countries, and they must send Arab military forces, deployed in the areas of NE, Syria, "devoting his call to the Republic of Egypt, which is exposed to the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is supported by Turkey and Qatar as well.

The notable of al-Naim clan of Ibrahim al-Nuri, in turn, also affirmed that the SDF that liberated the land and the human being from the abomination of ISIS and achieved security and stability that all other regions lack, there is no way but to stand behind them and with them in one trench, especially since today they are fighting resistance against dignity against the Turkish enemy who seeks to dismember Syria and displace its people.
