2 SDF killed in clashes with armed tribes in eastern Syria: commander
[Rudaw] Two members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were killed in festivities with armed tribal men in Syria’s eastern province of Deir ez-Zor after an Arab tribal leader was assassinated by unknown button men, exacerbating ethnic tensions in the region, according to a top commander of the Kurdish-led force. The towns of Ziban, al-Shuhail, and al-Huwaij in eastern Deir ez-Zor have seen days of unrest after an Arab tribal leader, Sheikh Mutsher Hamud Jeidan al-Hifl, was killed by unknown button men. Security is a problem for the region that is under SDF control, but borders regime areas and is a hotspot of Islamic State  ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) activity. Posted by: trailing wife 2020-08-07 |
