In Raqqa, a revolt against American militants

1
In the Syrian city of Rakka and in the province of the same name, which the American "coalition" allegedly "liberated", it does not even smell normalized. In the west of the province, in the city of Al Mansoura and in the surrounding areas, local residents rebelled against the “Syrian Democratic Forces”. These are forces supported by the United States and composed primarily of ethnic Kurds.





According to the Iranian agency FARS, a large number of residents of Western Raqqa who set fire to Kurdish bases take part in the uprising. There are armed clashes. There are people injured. The reason for the uprising was the arrest by the pro-American Kurds of the leader of the Bu Khamis tribe - Sheikh Bashir Hamdan al-Hasmar.

Another factor causing discontent among the population of Raqqa is the SDS attempt to force them to pay for the war with the Turkish army. So, according to the FARS agency, in the city of Tabka, 500 Syrian pounds were demanded from each family. (Money is small, but in conditions of general poverty this is certainly a hit in the pocket). Kurdish pro-American militants intimidate those who refuse to pay with exile. In addition, these same militants sell aircraft for scrap that remained at the former Syrian air base in Tabka.

Earlier, Russian representatives repeatedly tried to draw the attention of the world community to the difficult situation in which the civilians of Raqqa found themselves after the American "liberation" from ISIS (an organization banned in the Russian Federation). We can say this: these people fell out of the fire and into the fire.

So, in February of this year, Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, claimed that a very difficult humanitarian situation had developed in the territories controlled by the American coalition and the militants supported by it. According to the Russian defense ministry, there is a threat of epidemic in Raqqa due to the fact that many corpses remain under the ruins of the city. In addition, the United States obstructs attempts to deliver humanitarian aid to this territory. In fact, only the center of Raqqa is relatively safe.

Another disaster that threatens civilians and impedes the return of refugees to the city and province is the mines left by ISIS terrorists. Even the United States is forced to admit this. So, the representative of the American coalition Ryan Dillon said that the Raqqi city council and the internal security service do not let people who want to return home because of mine traps. According to him, even the Korans and children's toys are mined.

If Russia, having liberated any city together with the Syrian army, first of all sends sappers there, the USA is clearly not concerned about the problems of civilians.

Moscow proposed the creation of a special commission under UN control to assess what is happening in Raqqa. However, Washington categorically rejected this initiative, saying that Russia’s parallel efforts made no sense.

Currently, Kurdish militants are firing machine guns at the city of Al Mansur, suppressing the uprising.

One of the main contradictions that has developed in Raqqa between the Kurdish and Arab populations is that the Kurds, using the support of the United States, want independence from Syria. And the Syrians see themselves as part of their state. The war, unleashed and constantly warmed from the outside (primarily by Washington), has not yet seen an end. She stirred up all the contradictions that, before the so-called Arab Spring, she managed to somehow overcome, and gave rise to many new ones.

    Kurds for their wrong choice will have to be tight. Erdagan Putin gave the green light. Turks will quickly bring the Kurds to life. It's a pity. The Kurds are good warriors, but the political mind is not enough.
