Islamic State: A Kingdom of militants barbarism

The terror decreed by the Islamic Caliphate State (EI) spans all borders. While the world was watching the fate of the Yazidis in Iraq, EI militants militants killed in the past two weeks  700 Al Shaitat tribesmen  (100 fighters and the rest civilians) in the town of Deir al Zor, northeast of Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in London, adding that there are 1,800 members of the tribe disappeared.

The same sources say that 6,000 militants have joined the EI in August, which would be more than a thousand foreigners. The EI controls the Syrian Northeast, including Raqa, the only provincial capital in their possession, after fighting the biggest rebel factions, and old allies of EI in the fight against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad, as the Waterfront Nusra or the Islamic Front.

According Nuwaf Sheikh Abdel Aziz, leader of the tribe of Al Hasana Homs, Al Shaitat clan is one of the largest in Syria (where 100,000 people total) and extends both in Iraq and in Jordan.

” The tribes are usually far from the capital, the government and everything other institutions,” says Sheikh Nuwaf. “At the beginning of the fighting they saw that they could benefit from the chaos, and selling oil illegally profiting from smuggling in a region of porous borders with Turkey and Iraq. Being also Sunnis, looked sympathetically at first discourse of EI. When these barbarians withdrew their oil business and smuggling, have faced them. As a result, the jihadis have slain all every male of 14 years, ” he concludes.

A purely economic reasons would be added, according to sources in the Syrian Republican Guard of honor. ” EI Fighters have forced dozens of women of the tribe to the Niqah jihad [ sexual jihad or temporary marriages with the jihadists in combat ]. Social values ??are the pillars customs laws governing tribes and an insult to honor the worst thing they can do. “

The Army of Damascus, which maintains several fronts against rebels in the country, and gains a new ally in the north. Syrian military sources claimed to have sent two battalions to Deir al Zor to provide support and weapons to Al Shaitat.

According to Reuters, the clan leader called on the Internet calling for the other tribes to unite in the fight against EI. However, rapid progress in Iraq was conducted in collaboration with Sunni tribes resented the Shiite government of Nuri al -Maliki, who agreed last week to make way for Haider al Abadi (also Shiite) to try to form an inclusive government in Baghdad.

But unlike Iraq, where US jihadists bombed positions to stop the EI, Syria has no Air Force Washington. This has enabled the EI move towards Aleppo and take Ajtirin locations and Maré, just 30 kilometers north of the economic capital of the country. Echoes of the massacres of Christians, Kurds, Yazidis and other ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq are causing the flight of thousands of Syrians to controlled areas Damascus regime.

Last Saturday, as France Presse, the Syrian National Coalition (CNS), the opposition in exile in Turkey, urged Western countries to act ” quickly ” against the Syrian regime and EI countries. “In the name of humanity, I call upon the UN and all countries that believe in freedom, with the United States in the lead, to act in Syria in the same way as in Iraqi Kurdistan,” said their leader, Hadi al Bahra.

The challenge of EI threatens to open a third front in the outskirts of Aleppo, where rebel groups face Syrian troops, which are fighting for four years. Damascus, which so far has just collided with EI, although he has bombed their positions in the northeast, can be seen fighting alongside the rebels against the common enemy jihadist..
