A British journalist : Opposition Factions attack of Skelibia Based on Sectarianism
Three children were killed, last Sunday, due to a strike on Al-Sekilibia town in northern countryside of Hama.
Local media sources quoted a medical source that the shelling resulted in six children being injured plus some other people, in addition to damages to houses and properties.
Danny Makki, The Syrian-British journalist who accompanying the Syrian army in its operations, said to North Press that the repeated targeting of the residents of Skelibia town and the Christian majority areas were on the basis of the sectarian objects by the opposition in a way to air their revenge after their defeats in Homs to Houran and Aleppo. “
Furthermore, he revealed to North Press that “targeting the north of Hama by the opposition played the main role of the recent escalation to resolve the battle of Idlib.”
The Syrian-German writer Abdul-Masih Al-Shami told North Press that the Syrian opposition lost the compass, right from the beginning and it started talking about an alliance of minorities in which it gathers Syrian minorities and aims at defeating the opposition”, without realizing that the Muslims of the Syrian cities ,like Damascus and Aleppo, were the pillars of the regime ,and even the first and last supporter that led Damascus to resist the years of war. “
Hence, Shami believes that Christians have their own personality and independent circumstances, and their own decisions taken independently of any subordination, and their decision was to stand against tyranny, corruption and exclusion and not to support an armed movement aimed at smashing them.
As for the nature of Skelibia and Mharda, resided by Christians for centuries, Al-Shami said “The people of what we call (the two villages) belong to a successful and an educated Syrian classes, and they protected themselves from all kinds of repression throughout the history, not because of subjection or fear, but for the sake of confrontation and challenging, in addition to the pride of their identity of which they defended. Thus, they stand against the opposition factions that targeted them for sectarian reasons and undeveloped mentality, which led to the their defeat.”
Al-Shami pointed out, “Russia never intervened in Syria on the basis of sectarian aims, but it interfered to be in the Syrian Government side, but the naiveté of the opposition put Russia in an embarrassing situation, when the factions targeted Christians in the north of Hama, which forced Russia to escalate against these factions to guarantee safety of any Syrian groups. “
