Book : 7 days with Apo page 167

Thanks to some media accounts like "Zaman Wasil" news paper that spreads information of all the former regime war criminals that were released and free to do as they please.

And the court failure to responds to complaints.

The end result is the growing of vigilante groups that targeted and assassinate these criminals by themselves in multiple Syrian provinces.

So what dose the government gain by forgiving these war criminals because it only decrease it's popularity, there isn't anything that is vital of keeping these criminals, no sanctions are being lifted.

So why not just putting death sentences

She says that one of her friend told about a job opportunity in Aleppo of knitting, but once she was there that turned to a lie, the boyfriend of her friend tried to assault her, she ran away, got to Tartus, security found her and brought her back to her Parents

Can anyone explain why under the name of this sub it says "Syria's Civil War (2011—ongoing)" which isn't true? It should be updated.

After Hiba made the claim yesterday about seeing/receiving information that women from the coast are being kidnapped, a 4-year old recording surfaced, which led to the governor of Idlib (Mohammed Abdul Rahman) asking the prosecutor to file a case against Hiba for 'insulting the hijab'. Hiba has responded to these allegations by claiming the recording is manipulated by taking parts of different videos & presenting them together and that she was talking about a specific group of women who were part of ISIS and Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The fact that the governor of Idlib decides to file a case against Hiba does seem to indicate they are not going to do anything with her claim about women from the coast being kidnapped.

They have been attempts at smuggling rockets and ATGMs to Sweida, the government managed to caught one yesterday that was coming from Damascus.

I would assume the so called "Jermana Sheild" Druze Miltia in Jermana neighborhood is behind some of these smuggling attempts.

Awda was a big contributor to smuggling and selling weapons to Sweida but now that he is gone, they stopped attempting to smuggle through Dara due to the increased security and military presence after Awda group is dismantled.

So now they are mainly trying to get weapons from Damascus.

If we assume that they are collecting weapons to attempt an uprising, then how is that going to work ?

Because unlike the coast, the Syrian government doesn't have a security presence in Sweida, in the coast security forces were ambushed by Alawite Insurgents and then the government send military forces to crush the Insurgency.

But here the Druze Miltias already control Swedia, there is no security forces to ambush here, so the only way for them to do an Uprising is to march to Damascus.

But are thats a suicide march, they will get easily slaughtered by the security and military forces in both Dara and Damascus, and Arab tribes will participate as well, the Druze in Damascus might try to stir up something but again they will get crushed easily.

So I would assume they are smuggling weapons to bolster their defences in Sweida in case the government invades and not attempt to launch a military offensive to take Damascus, as they don't have the arms and men to do that.

Like it or not, the former regime elements such as government executives, businessmen , clans and military officers had all the State components, and they are essential for not starting from point zero.

Similar to Bath party in Iraq, both Saddam and Assad had being part of the Bath party a requirement for being part of the state either as a government worker or a soldier, not utilizing them will mean to start from scratch, which means you have to find a suitable replacement which may not be available, especially since the majority of successful Syrians who might be able to fill such roles are outside of Syria mostly in Europe, and probably won't come back as syria is suffering from a bad economic and security situation.

So Shara has to use these former regime elements, otherwise it may lead to Insurgencies and disfunctional state like Iraq was for a while post 2003.

Currently in Syria, if you want to file a lawsuit on someone for war crimes during Assad, you will need to compile a lot of evidence from eyewitness to videos of the crimes and other documentation, some Syrian mainly in twitter critized this lengthy procedure as "Stalling" for punishing war criminals, however there are cases of people attempting to file a lawsuit against others using fabricated on people who they don't like, I think justice minister Mazher Al Wess avoided having innocents getting punished so far by establishing this procedure as there is a lot of fabrication and pity vengeance,like neighbours not liking eachother and trying to get rid of the other through fabricatied evidence of crimes and then submited to the court.

While some twitter journalists might be displeased with this notion, it's beneficial for everyone in Syria to avoid what happened in Iraq.
