Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ sectarian activity rises in Sunni areas
2017-09-12
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Iranian repressive and sectarian regime against Sunnis in the country warns of an upcoming civil war, according to a recent reformist opposition report.

First published on amadnews site, which is allied with the opposition, the report reflects the Revolutionary Guards’ continued and escalating activity in predominantly Sunni areas.

It also noted that holy man’s activities and the Guard’s institutions are increasing in southern areas of the country, specifically in Sistan, Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and Khorasan provinces.

According to the report, among these activities are calls of a sectarian nature. The most recent event called for was Eid al-Ghadeer, a Shiite celebration. Sunnis see this form of celebration in their areas as a form of provocation.

The Iranian regime is also accused of working to eliminate Sunnis and disrupting development in their provinces.
