Despite the exposure of its goals…"Settlements" extend to Aleppo countryside

Damascus government continues to expand the trap of so-called " Settlements" in Syria in order to trap young men in fulfillment of its interests, whether in order to conscript them for compulsory service or liquidate them as a way to take revenge on its opponents and subject the country to its control.

Today, in Maskana district, in eastern Aleppo countryside, a new "Settlement" process will be launched under the supervision of so-called "Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria" affiliated to Russian Ministry of Defense, similar to "comprehensive settlement" operations that launched by Damascus government forces under Russian auspices as well two days ago, in southwestern Damascus countryside, according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Yesterday, January29, Damascus government forces began conducting "comprehensive settlement" operations for wanted people' situation in the city of Zakiya and the entire of Al-Kiswa area and its towns and villages in southwestern Damascus countryside, under the direct supervision of "Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria".

Damascus government promotes the so-called "Settlements" or "Reconciliations" in some areas, with the aim of extending its control over them. However, daily practical experience has proven that these "Settlements" did not contribute to achieving security and stability in these areas.

Last November, Damascus government, with Russian support, began implementing so-called "Settlements" that proved to be unsuccessful in Dara'a and south of the country, also in Deir al-Zor, after the security services of Damascus government summoned thousands of those who were subjected to "Settlements" in the areas of Deir al-Zor, Al-Mayaden and Al-Bukamal, for a military course, to later push them into battles with ISIS in the Syrian desert.

Damascus government repeated the scenario of " Settlements " again in north and east Syria in general and the city of Raqqa in particular, which was met with people' rejection.

In the Syrian regions in which this process was carried out, including Dara'a, Damascus countryside and Deir al-Zor, those who were subjected to this "settlement" were arrested and the majority were imprisoned, while the others were pushed to the battlefronts.

And during this month, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the security services of Damascus government arrested more than 42 people, who had made the "recent settlements" in villages of Al-Maraya, Al-Jafra, Al-Boulel, Al-Zubary and Al-Muhasan in eastern Deir al-Zor countryside.
