Attacks on US-Allied Troops Speak of Positive Developments in Syria

Kayhan Int’l  

    A series of positive news are coming out of Syria in recent days which indicate that the sedition, war, bloodshed, death and destruction imposed on the country by the US, the Zionists, the Saudis, the British, the Turks and the Qataris, to try to topple the legal government of President Bashar al-Assad, has miserably failed, 

     It is only a matter of time for the province of Idlib to return to the national fold and then for sure Damascus will launch a major offensive on Deir ez-Zore to flush out the terrorists and their backers. 

     Perhaps Ankara may not like it and is trying to delay the inevitable through a sort of an unwarranted summit with the leaders of France, Germany, and Russia, but it has no other choice than to withdraw its troops peacefully.

     Russia, along with the Islamic Republic of Iran – the two countries officially invited by the Syrian government – are part of the solution, which means it was needless for Turkey to ask the Heads of France and Germany to come to Istanbul for talks on Syria, since Damascus has nothing to do with either Paris or Berlin, which have the negative record of siding with the terrorists during the crisis.

     Anyway the reconstruction phase is about to begin and once Turkey goes back to its original stance of "zero problems” with Syria, then there is no reason why Ankara shouldn’t contribute to the rebuilding process. 

     Another piece of positive news is the decision of the UN envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, to step down after four years of fruitless efforts, mainly the result of his tilt towards the terrorists during the so-called peace missions, rather than supporting the stance of the government in Damascus.

     There is no need for any UN envoy for Syria, an independent country which can handle its own affairs, and certainly it doesn’t want the World Body or the powers that manage it, to draw a constitution for it.

      As Syria’s permanent ambassador to the UN, Bashar Ja’fari, after opposing de Mistura’s suggestion to include the terrorist groups in constitutional talks, has emphasized "the constitutional committee should renew the current constitution because we do not want a constitutional vacuum, since Syria is not a failed state.”

      The next positive development is the decisions of the government of Syria and Iraq to open up the joint border crossing, to facilitate trade and travel, following the meeting in Damascus between the two countries’ foreign ministers – Walid Mo’allem and Dr. Seyyed Ibrahim al-Jaafari. 

     Whether or not the West and the dictatorial Arab regimes like it, Dr. Ibrahim al-Jaafari did not mince words, when he said: "no one should isolate Syria”. He went on to add that he was advocating for Syria’s return to the Arab League – which under Saudi pressure froze Damascus’ membership in 2011 despite the fact that Syria (not Saudi Arabia) is among the founding members of the Arab League.

      The last and not least important positive news from Syria is the increase in the number of bomb attacks against US-backed terrorists and the uninvited American troops in Syria.

      These attacks which are part of the liberation campaign, have increased by five-fold since June, as the country’s majority Sunni tribes, ignoring the seditious propaganda of the West and the reactionary Arab regimes, have solidly closed ranks with the government in Damascus to safeguard the independence of their country.

     According to reports: "The increased number of attacks, and the locations in which attacks were conducted, appears to indicate concerted, organized efforts by these groups to pressure the US into withdrawing from Syria.”

      Syria has been asking the uninvited Americans to leave, but they insolently failed to heed the voice of reason. Now it seems, instead of leaving peacefully and making amends for their hostility against the government of President Assad, the US will be bringing home its soldiers in body bags.

      Indeed, a humiliating retreat from Syria, which will certainly be followed by a more humiliating exit from Iraq for the US, and finally from the Persian Gulf region and Afghanistan!
