The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights

After the entry of the regime and its media to it, people of Tafas rise again and expel regime’s delegation from the town, and 3 cities and towns in the countryside of Daraa get out of factions’ control

Daraa Province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from local sources that there is a continued popular discontent in Tafas town; after a “reconciliation and settlement” agreement that took place between the regime forces and the Russians and between the factions working in the area where the resentment comes after raising the Internationally-recognized Syrian flag and filming it by television for a short period of time and then withdrawing under pressure from the town’s people, reliable sources confirmed that the filming was carried out with the protection of the factions that entered the “reconciliation and settlement” agreement, and the same sources reported that the people of Tafas town teared down the flag and pictures of Bashar al-Assad, the head of the Syrian regime, also the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that the regime forces have added Inkhil city and the towns of Kafr Shams and al-Mzyrib in the western and northern countryside of Daraa, to their controlled areas after a “reconciliation” agreement with representatives of these areas, while several villages and towns in the countryside of Daraa are still having consultations for the entry of the regime to them, like other areas in the countryside of Daraa.

The Syrian Observatory published hours ago that areas in the western countryside of Daraa are witnessing the return of displaced families and the entry of the regime forces to them, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the entry of groups of the regime forces to Tafas town in the western countryside of Daraa, after a “reconciliation and situation settling” agreement took place between the regime forces and the Russians and between the factions operating in the area, while the entry of the regime forces coincided with the return of hundreds of displaced people of Tafas to Abtaa, Dael, their vicinity, and other areas in the countryside of Daraa, after the regime forces were able yesterday to add Tafas to its controlled areas which are more than 82% of the area size of Daraa Province, since the start of the military operation by the regime forces on the 19th of June 2018.

This entry came with fears spreading among the residents who  are afraid of lootings to be carried out in Tafas and its surroundings, similar to what happened in the villages and towns of the eastern countryside and the southeastern countryside of Daraa, which are still taking place in towns and cities of Daraa city, which have been controlled by the regime forces in the last few days and witnessing more lootings operations by the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them, where intersected source confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the lootings are taking place in front of the citizens, and most of the times the lootings are carried out in front of their owners and while the people are in their homes, which increased the resentment of people in Daraa Province who called on Russia to commit to its guarantees, and not overlook the violations and lootings carried out by the locusts of the “Homeland Army”, which has been looting the bad stuff before the good ones leaving nothing behind, which increased the resentment of people in al-Suwaidaa and its countryside, especially after the explosion of several pieces of the looted furniture after being transported to the countryside and the cities to be sold.
