200 Arab tribesmen have joined the pro-government National Defense Forces (NDF) in Syria’s northeastern region, the Sputnik news agency reported on December 8.
The tribesmen went through an intensive military training course before joining the ranks of the NDF in an official ceremony held in the city of al-Qamishli. The ceremony was attended by officials of the Damascus government and local tribal leaders.
Hassan al-Sallumi, the commander of the NDF in al-Qamishli and a member of the Syrian Parliament, told Sputnik that the tribesmen are now ready to fight alongside the Syrian Arab Army.
“The sons of Arab tribes are hand in hand with the Syrian military in its war on terrorists and all sorts of occupation of our dear country, Syria,” al-Sallumi said. “Work is underway with all the members of Arab tribes to unite in the fight against the American and Turkish armies, which are controlling large parts of the rich Syrian Jazira region, illegally.”
The NDF has been active in northeastern Syria, mainly in al-Qamishli and al-Hasakah’s city center, since its formation in 2012.
Despite the rise of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and the U.S. military deployment in northeastern Syria in 2014, many local Arab tribesmen to this day prefer to join pro-government forces. Others flee the region to join Turkish-backed factions in northern and northwestern Syria.
The Damascus government took advantage of the 2019 Turkish invasion of northeastern Syria to expand its influence in the region. Today, the Syrian military has a fairly large force in the region. Kurdish forces see government presence as a mean to stop Turkey.
Arabs in Kurdish hold area better know nor Wahhabi Sunnis or Kurds can protect them. The best thing is to join and fight for their own countries and stop Zion cuck sucker thieves. (PKK/YPG/Turkey/SDF/ISIS/US)
The Turkeys and their Zionist masters are out of control and only imposing a cost on them will stop the neo-Ottoman delusions. Syria should be the graveyard for Turkish and Zionist pipe dreams. The Americunt arseholes are facilitating the conflict in Syria as so far none of theseCUNTS have suffered major losses. It is time to get serious about the Turkeys. The prime targets for the goat fucker Erdogan’s delusional ambition are Arabs and Russia and the sideshow in India to please the Pakistanis to get hold of nuclear weapons. The situation in the region getting totally out of control and Russia really needs to do realistic strategic analysis before it is too late. Erdogan thinks that the “great victory” over tiny Armenia is the best thing since Ottoman era and is further emboldened in Libya and even threatening Iran’s territorial integrity.
“…The situation in the region getting totally out of control and Russia really needs to do realistic strategic analysis before it is too late…” Well-said, I hope Russia is listening.
Erdogan’s plans ARE MUCH BIGGER.!!!

.'” There is a “middle zone” spanning the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This zone is predominantly Muslim. This zone is the cradle of civilizations, cultures, and empires.
This is the homeland of humanity. This axis is the world’s oldest economic basin, the map of millennia-old cities, the homeland of strong nations.”
As I predicted a year ago. Grassroots Syrian movements will emerge as an asymmetric resistance to US, Turkish and zionist occupation of Syria.
