Activities denounce crimes committed by Damascus Forces, National Defense

Since Tuesday night, Damascus government forces and the "National Defense" have been attacking villages and towns in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, resulting in the martyrdom of 14 people and injuries to 26 others. This has led to widespread condemnation across NE Syria.

Ain Issa

 In this context, residents of the eastern countryside of Ain Issa issued a statement in the village of Sheikh Hassan, part of the Euphrates Canton.

The statement condemned the massacres committed by the Damascus government forces and the "National Defense" in the villages of Deir ez-Zor.

The statement affirmed “support for the Syrian Democratic Forces, which are taking a strong stance against anyone who attempts to undermine the security and stability of the region, and that they will spare no effort in defending their land against any aggression.”

Al-Hol

The Al-Hol City Council in Jazera Canton organized a large demonstration in solidarity with the people of Deir ez-Zor. The protest started from the educational complex in Al-Hol and marched towards the city's main entrance. Upon arrival, the demonstrators observed a moment of silence, after which Sheikh Abbas Aboud Al-Sultan of the Khawatina tribe read a statement to the public.

The statement affirmed that, thanks to the unity of our communities, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the Autonomous Administration, the Syrian regime is once again attempting, through its mercenaries, to disrupt stability and create discord in Deir ez-Zor. It emphasized the tribes' steadfast support for the people of Deir ez-Zor and the SDF in resisting these mercenaries and their malicious plans against our people in Deir ez-Zor and NE Syria.

The demonstration ended with chants in support of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

It affirmed, "We stand behind the Syrian Democratic Forces and the internal security forces who are defending our land with great sacrifice. These forces are our sons, and their blood is precious to us. Therefore, we demand an end to the bloodshed and urge adherence to our values while advancing our community and people towards freedom and justice.”

We are all potential martyrs, and we will not allow any traitor to desecrate our land. Our lives are a sacrifice for our land and the ideals of our leader Abdullah Ocalan.”
