Our people in Ras al-Ain / Sere Kaniye in north
Syria have been under suspicious armed attack from
outside and inside the Syrian borders for some time
which has become fiercer since 16 January 2013, with
accompanying repugnant irresponsible statements
aiming to split the national front and the social
identity that forms the demographics of this part of
Syria. These attacks have been perpetrated by some
of the brigades and divisions that claim to be the
arm of the Syrian revolution, such as the Brigades
of Ahrar Al'oma (the free people of the nation),
Ahrar Gowairan (free people of Gowairan), Mishaal
Tamo, Gorabaa Alsham, the descendants of the Ahfad
al-Rasul Brigade, Abna Saad bin Abi Waqas Brigade
and troops linked to the military council of the
Free Army.
These brigades have alone or in collaboration
carried out many attacks on unarmed civilians and on
empty buildings of the state which do not now
represent the regime and which are the property of
the people. They forced most of the families in the
city to flee, leaving their homes and properties
which were looted by the above-mentioned brigades.
The People's Protection Units (YPG) were forced to
retaliate against these attacks to protect the
families in the area and protect the area's
versatile social structure of many religions and
nationalities.
We in the National Coordination Body strongly
condemn the actions of these groups which are alien
to the revolution, and represent foreign agendas, in
particular the Turkish agenda which is supporting
these groups and supplying them with weapons,
foreign fighters, ammunition and armoured vehicles
which are illegally crossing the border. This is a
clear breach of national sovereignty and an outright
breach of international laws, a move that does not
serve the Syrian people nor their revolution for
freedom and respect. All this takes place in the
shadow of a deliberate absence of the Syrian
military institution which is supposed to protect
the borders and nation but it has become the hostage
of a Regime that is using it to maintain its
dictatorship and oppress the revolution of freedom
and dignity.
We call upon our people in Syria to reject these
terrorist groups and expose them. We call upon the
international community to put utmost pressure on
the Turkish government which is evidently
facilitating the transfer of terrorism and its
apparatuses into Syria.
We call on our people to question the reasons and
aims for attacking a main component of the Syrian
community in an area where the Regime representation
has ceased,www.ekurd.net
and the area is run by local committees made up of
all the components of the society which were living
together peacefully and were in the forefront in
abiding by the values and morals of the revolution
from its beginning up till now through weekly
demonstrations calling for the fall of the Regime.
