Threat of Humanitarian Disaster by Factional Infighting

Factional infighting is still the method most trodden by the Kaffir West to abort revolutions, and the most influential on the course of events in countries experiencing uprisings against injustice and tyranny; this is what happened in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and others. And the grievous scene is repeated in the blessed land of Ash-Sham.

We have long warned of the effects of this fighting and that it only serves the regime and its masters, drains the energies of the Muslims, derails them from their primary goal of overthrowing the regime and establishing Allah’s law, and pushes Muslims in the land of Ash-Sham to despair … And here it is portending a great humanitarian catastrophe whose landmarks began to loom on the horizon.

Thus, after the fighting that took place in north Aleppo countryside, the road was blocked between the areas controlled by ISIS in Raqqa and east Aleppo countryside on the one hand, and the areas controlled by other factions in Idlib and Aleppo. And on the other hand, the inflow of food and fuel was interrupted between the two sides which has led to a significant rise in their prices, and to an almost standstill in their daily lives, which constitutes another factor of oppression and deprivation faced by the people of ash-Sham of killing, destruction, siege and displacement caused by the regime.

Added to that is the siege imposed by factional fighting, which puts factions in great sin because of what they perpetrate against Muslims who fled from areas exposed to brutal shelling by the criminal regime to quasi-safe zones, only to find themselves in a new siege, but this time at the hands of warring factions. This is what feeds the sense of despair among the people of ash-Sham of changing the reality, and leads to hit the popular support of the revolution. And this is what the criminal regime worked for throughout the five years of the blessed revolution, by targeting civilians using all means and methods; in order to break their will and sow despair in them so that they accept any solution imposed on them by the enemies of Islam, led by America, which conspire to Muslims in all their countries; so that Ash-Sham revolution is aborted, and the blood of the martyrs, the sacrifices of the Ummah, and the years of suffering and pain are lost.

O Muslims in the blessed land of Ash-Sham: You are well aware of the great suffering endured by the people of ash-Sham for the sake of liberation from oppression and tyranny, and you know as well what the people of ash-Sham had suffered from as a result of fighting between the factions which only came out primarily to lift the injustice against Muslims; and then they cause them more suffering and pain. Everyone is wondering what is the purpose of this fighting? What are the expected results? Everyone is a loser and the only winner is the criminal regime and its foster America. We hold all the warring factions, led by the organization of al-Baghdadi, the responsibility before Allah Almighty for the suffering inflicted on Muslims in the conflict areas. So, enough infighting and enough division, the Almighty سبحانه وتعالى says:

وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”

(Al-Anfal: 46)

And let our efforts be directed to overthrow the regime and establish the Sharia of Allah on its ruins. We are witnessing these days the Holy Month of Ramadan; so let us make it a month of mercy among Muslims; and an end to their suffering; and let us abolish those borders which we created by our own hands atop the borders which were made by the West. Perhaps Allah Almighty will restrain the military might of those who disbelieve, and perhaps He will have mercy on us and grant us victory from Him, He سبحانه وتعالى says:

عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ

“Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do.”

(Al-A’raf: 129)
