The Syrian opposition group, “Salvation Front,” has called on the Syrian people, all of its segments and forces, to unite and prepare for an uprising against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The group believes that this regime has become a “tail in Iran’s regional strategy” and “has nothing to do with the homeland.” Led by the former Syrian Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam, the Front issued a statement yesterday emphasizing the importance of maintaining national unity and avoiding conflicts between sects, doctrines, and national components.
The statement highlights the regime’s negative impact on Syria’s living and economic conditions, and the widespread security chaos in the country, which includes murder, robbery, kidnapping, banditry, forgery, bribery, and drug trafficking. The Front, which includes opposition movements led by the Muslim Brotherhood, accuses the regime of practicing the worst forms of repression against citizens demanding freedom and democracy, even putting some in prison despite suffering from serious illnesses.
Furthermore, the Salvation Front warns that the sectarian climate Syria is currently facing poses a threat to its national unity. It accuses the regime of creating this climate in the country by suppressing the Kurdish segment of the Syrian people and allowing Iran to work in Syria to change its national reality, by altering its sectarian reality, and attempting to spread Shiism throughout the country. The Front also claims that the regime is targeting Syrian Arabism, its history, and its future.
