The fragile security situation in the eastern Deir Ezzor countryside and the scandalous farce
A clear and explicit question..
Have the Kurdish leaders, the decision-making authority in the region, had a serious intention to establish security and stability in Deir Ezzor for two years until now?
Actually, none of this is tangible on the ground, all that is going on is just military campaigns by the SDF but at the same time, Daesh, Assad and Iran cells are intensively active in the region.
I repeat my words and personal convictions that concentrate on the main security problem in Deir Ezzor. It is not about the Kurdish component but the Arab component, that the SDF chose in Deir Ezzor and is still clinging to it, most notably Deir Ezzor military council,
which is riddled with corruption.

Today, my uncle was the target of an assassination attempt and he is still in critical condition in the intensive care unit. I hope that he will survive it peacefully.
Masked cells are chasing him and trying to assassinate him because he does not want to follow them. They also want to target him because he is a tribal elder in the area and also works in the local council of Ash-Shahil town.
After the assassination of several tribal elders in Deir Ezzor countryside last August, the cells now are active again. We do not know why the checkpoints have been removed recently from the eastern countryside. When they existed, assassinations decreased significantly.
Some smugglers on the crossings between the west and east of the Euphrates have returned to work in secret, and the other smugglers are waiting the opportunity to resume business with Assad regime and Iran.
All the cells work day and night to destabilize the situation east of the Euphrates. Daesh, Assad and Iran are targeting the popular base supporting the international coalition.
For the thousand time we say that the community component in Deir Ezzor and the way to deal with it is completely different from other communities.
It is not possible to deal with it for a short time and then abandon it midway ... Today, the people are in an unprecedented state of collapse because there is no seriousness to deal with all the situations, including the security one, and end this continuing farce.
In short, Daesh and the cells of Iran and Assad are penetrating the ranks of the SDF from foot to head, especially Deir Ezzor military council, while we are talking about Iran, Assad and Daesh cells.. Each side is working on its agenda and mixing the cards together.
In its operation, the international coalition focuses on Daesh cells and selects important targets, but the cells are still very active in large geographical areas of the eastern countryside.
The size of the security breach in the region is greater than that the human mind can imagine, while unfortunately, the solutions that we constantly repeat, have not yet found any one to pay attention to..
Cadres from outside Deir Ezzor control the decisions of Deir Ezzor, and the military leaders of Deir Ezzor are riddled with corruption and thefts and are very experienced in making speeches to the media.
If the intentions to establish security and stability weren't translated into actions on the ground, particularly in Deir Ezzor, then we are heading towards a security and political disaster that will have serious consequences for civilians in the first place.

End.

Thread :

Let's agree on one important thing which is:
al-Hol camp which houses civilians is not the same camp that includes Daesh families. There is a section dedicated to Daesh families and a section for the civilians who fled hostility and Daesh,
Since the fighting against Daesh began in Deir Ezzor, tens of thousands of civilians were forced to flee their homes and cities due to heavy fighting in the west and east of the Euphrates. Most civilians fled to the areas controlled by the international coalition and the SDF.
Civilians fled because they categorically reject Assad, Daesh, Iran and Russia, but later their presence in al-Hol became a complex and bureaucratic issue that has strained all parties.

The position of Deir Ezzor's people regarding al-Baghdadi's death:

First, let us agree that the blood of those killed by #Daesh has not been wasted, regardless of the circumstances and who killed al-#Baghdadi, people have been satisfied, especially in #Syria.
In my hometown in the eastern #DeirEzzor countryside, Daesh killed more than 270 people during the fighting between the people of Deir Ezzor and #Daesh in 2013.
Young people in their prime, some of the best of Deir Ezzor's youths, were killed and tortured by Daesh before the international coalition was formed and before any international party intervene to stop this organization.

Many important files came all in one tweet.. please have patience and read to the end:

The most important:

Saudi file in Syria:

The recent visit of the Saudi Minister al-Sabahan to Syria was supposed to make a significant change to the Syrian reality,
especially regarding the reconstruction file, but until the Turkish invasion, nothing happened.

especially in #DeirEzzor in June 2019, everything was changed and KSA decided, because of its war against the Houthis, not to engage in new experiences,
especially in an area full of adversaries, this happened after they were greatly enthusiastic that the region should be ruled by its people's decision in partnership with the Americans,

I repeat it once again as repetition can be useful:

Opposing the Turkish invasion for several reasons:
The opposition, which is fighting alongside Turkey, left the Assad regime and Iran, and turned to carry out the agenda of some countries under the name of fighting YPG, PKK etc
This matter is between Turkey and these factions, and must not be at the expense of civilians in Syria, especially in our regions.
The issue of the repatriation and settlement of refugees through military battles and by force is not a guarantee and cannot be achieved.

The #Assad regime is gradually regaining a legitimacy, that it has been looking for for years,

Read to the end, please:

- "The Kurds will hand over our areas to the Syrian regime" a message that was circulated by Turkey, but it has been proved to Syrians that Turkey is the one who has been contributing to the handover of the territories to the Assad regime, not "the SDF"
,, whether by failing to maintain its "understandings" with #Russia or because of its acceptance of the repeated campaigns.

-The Syrian who wants #Turkey to expel the #SDF from the eastern regions should have second thoughts.
- Turkey has also prevented the Syrian opposition from coordinating with the Kurds against #Daesh, prevented it from many opportunities.

- Turkey is Russia's biggest gain in #Syria after ensuring Assad's survival and his regime and securing it militarily after 2015.

Qasem Soleimani's recent visit to Al-#Bukamal city and his inspection of the Iranian militias carries several messages, mainly:
- To reaffirm the promises he made to the elements and leaders of the Iranian militias when he visited #DeirEzzor in 2017-2018 during fighting against #Daesh, where he still repeatedly gives those promises of victory and the achieving of the goals set by the #Iranians.
- a message to the Syrian Democratic Forces (#SDF) "you cannot stand against us, no matter how powerful militarily you are."
- A message to the #USA that #Soleimani can move whenever and however he likes without being targeted "a kind of provocative act".
