Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s call for mobilization fails to bring fighters to its ranks to repel the attack on Al-Raqqah and the “Land of Caliphate”

Several reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the campaign that was launched by the “Islamic State” organization in its controlled areas in Deir Ezzor and the countryside of Al-Raqqah failed to achieve its objectives, and in the details monitored and documented by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the “Islamic State” organization launched during the past month a campaign called “Labbu al-Nidaa” which means “fulfil the Call (of duty)”, in which the organization called “young and commoner Muslims” to “general mobilization”.

The campaign was launched in the first third of May 2017 based on a request by the leader of the organization “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” for the “Muslim commoners” inviting them to the “general mobilization to defend the land of the Caliphate State”, it aimed to bring the young Syrians and displaced young people in its controlled areas in Deir Ezzor, Al-Raqqah, the countryside of Al-Hasakah and Homs, in order to fight in the ranks of the organization, and local sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the organization distributed the request to its Khatibs in the mosques within its controlled areas, and the pretext for this process of mobilization is to “repel the attack of the atheist Kurds and the agents of the cross on Al-Raqqah”
