On Monday, 114 gunmen have surrendered to the Syrian governemnt and settled their status in the city of Qamishli, according to the Syrian state-run news agency SANA.
“The Syrian government is keen to strengthen local reconciliations in all areas in parallel with the ongoing military operations of the Syrian Arab Army to eradicate the Takfiri terrorism and restore security and stability to the entire Syrian territory,” the report says.
This was the latest in a series of reconciliation agreements across the country. The Syrian government assisted by Russian Centre for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in the Syrian Arab Republic is actively working to restore peace and security in the variuos parts of the country.
Reconciliation is fine but they shouldn’t be allowed to keep their weapons.
Why not?
because deconfliction zones have had attacks restart indicating that militants are just buying time for later attacks.
Of course without weapons and under vigilance
They are now fighting for the government.
Says who? The article doesn’t state they’re fighting for the government. It states merely that they surrendered.
Usually those who keep their weapons are because they join the NDF.
Are they going to join the QSF? That’s the only ex FSA member unit I know of
Fine with some de-escaltion.
I once had a very fine pistol, a gift from my wife, but one day while firing it, it broke down, I sent it away, it was fixed and returned, I promptly sold it.
My wife finding out got extremely angry for my selling a gift from her,: My explanation went along this line.
While I really appreciated the gift and had really liked the original, a gun was like a wife, you had to have one you could depend upon without pause or hesitation. ; an untrustworthy gun can get you killed. And an untrustworthy wife will destroy ones life.
So I will get rid of any untrustworthy weapon, friends and yes a wife.
To those who take back an untrustworthy friend or wife. There will always remain in the background the doubt of sincerity by them
These who have surrendered should be treated within their new surroundings as vipers, for the nature of the snakes they were remains within them yet.You can never fully trust one of them to not strike out once more.
GIVE THEM 5000 USD $ AND A ONE WAY TICKET TO THE US AND EUROPE.
LET them return to their handlers nest.
US ticket only please. We’ve got already way too many of these fake refugees.
very nice, bow to the only true and rightful owners of syria (SAA) :)))
Local NDF related gunslingers?
??
The NDF are on the side of good.
Put them into slavery for the rest of their lives they deserve no better.
they don’t look like gunmen nor do they look like someone in military age or fit.
They look to me like tribal politicians
Is the woman on the center aisle also a “gunman”?
