The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights

After a number of weekly demonstrations in tens of cities, towns and villages…the demonstrations greatly shrink in the factions’ controlled areas

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored a great decrease in the number of demonstrators in the 8th consecutive Friday in the areas of the North Syria (Aleppo, Hama and Idlib) which are controlled by Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, the rebel and Islamic factions and the “Olive Branch” Operation Forces, where the Syrian Observatory monitored that demonstrations went out in the cities and towns of Al-Lataminah, Shir Maghar, Kafr Nabudah, Kafr Zita and Qalaat al-Madiq in Hama countryside, Idlib city, Saraqeb, Maarrat Al-Nu’man, Sarmada, Hass, Kafr Nubl, Al-Tah, Killi, Kafr Dariyan, Al-Danah, Kafr Sajnah and Khan Shaykhun in Idlib countryside, and Mare’ and Atarib in Aleppo countryside, and the demonstrators raised banners written on them “the world have to put an end to Russia’s impudence and criminality” and on others “the toppling of Al-Assad’s regime is the constitution’s main pillar” and “there is neither peace nor security as long as our villages are occupied”, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published on the 12th of October 2018, that areas in the Syrian north are still witnessing for the seventh Friday in a row demonstrations of hundreds of citizens calling for the “Freedom and the toppling of the regime”, the demonstrators called this Friday the name of “toppling al-Assad to build the country”, and some signs stood in solidarity with the displaced people in al-Rokban camp and read: “al-Rokban Camp is a Shame on all Humans,” others denounced “the Coalition and the negotiating body”, and these demonstrations took place in the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, and Hama, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the demonstrations in the cities of al-Bab and Azaz, and Taqad town in Aleppo countryside, and the cities and towns of Salqin, Sarmada, Ariha, Maarrat al-Nu’man, Hish, Kafrsajna, Kafr Oruq, Kelli and Idlib city in Idlib Province, and Kafr Nabudah, Qal’aat al-Madiq, and Shir Mghar in Hama province.

And the Syrian Observatory published 3 weeks ago, that it received sound clips, intersected sources said that they belong to the leader of the security force of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham in Idlib city, in which he stated:

“Coordinate with those responsible for the demonstrations and tell them that we are with you, your brothers, and what you need, we are with you to protect you, the speak is free so why not saying a word of good, and they will say we do not need anything so tell them we will demonstrate with you, and we are Muslims and demand the overthrow of the regime, also there is a very important issue should not appear in the western media, that the people are making us their enemy, and that the people have dropped our banner and they run over it, so be careful, if a banner was risen; there will be someone who will pull it down and run over it, and it will appear on the western media that they have run over the banner of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, this is a big issue, this means that the battle will be against Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham in the future, and the people ready to declare the battle in demonstrations, so if the people pulled our banner in front of the media; this means that the battle has been prepared against us, let them raise the banner of the revolution, and we will show them on the fronts of clashes who fight and stay patience to support the religion of Allah, and sacrifice their blood for the blood of Muslims and keeping their honor, and the majority say that the axis in battle is Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and if Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham is gone, then the Syrian north is gone, you have there people with their own purposes, and many people say this as well but they forget if they get angry, but we must reduce the sedition and be a bulwark between the general Muslims -and most of them are ignorant- and between the seditions, and the officials in Idlib and its countryside have to alert for not raising flags of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and to reassure the demonstrators that no flags of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham will be risen, and that any member of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham or their supporters will go out to overthrow the regime, and any person who raises the flag -of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham- will be arrested and investigated about his identity and goals of raising the flag of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, and you must coordinate and cooperate with each other and with supervisors of the demonstrations, because we do not want to have things that may separate us then have these things thrown at Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, because it is intended to provoke sedition because of us.”
