Southern Countryside of Damascus city has been under unprecedented
fierce invasion by the Syrian regime, Hezbollah and Abo al-fadhl al-Abbas
militia, many towns there were at the brink of falling in their hands.
“fighters have quickly learnt from what happened to
them and from series of loss, therefore they started to unite their forces and
battalions and concentrated on the emotional and psychological side of the battle
to stop breaking down” Abo Abdullah al-Horani, a journalist for one of the
battalions in Damascus countryside said to Zaman Alwasl.
He added that most fighters were under hard choices, either
to run away toward al-Lajat in Dara’a, or Eastern Ghouta, as morale became very
low with the starving policy, fierce siege, discovering many breaches in the
FSA battalions, shortage of arms, or leaving fighting after hearing news about
heavy armies coming to invade the region.
“In the middle of that entire bleak situation, we kept
hearing news about Darayya and their historical resistances, which were the
light in the end of the tunnel for us, and made the fighters go ahead without
fear of death with insistence on staying in Southern Damascus and save all they
gain for months”
Abo Bakr, a group leader commented on the
transformation in the attitudes saying: “yes we felt of sequence of breaking
down and defeats, and we realized that they need to stop, therefore, every
field's leader tried its best to gather his fighter within the battalion as
much as possible, taking from Darayya an ideal and best example of resistance,
which gradually lead us to leave the idea of withdrawal from the Southern of
Damascus, and looking forward again for liberating other areas”
Abo Bakr advised of leaving rumours and not listening
to them because the psychological and emotional effects of them are extremely
bad”
“Southern Countryside of Damascus would not fall,
Darayya and Moadamiyeh is our ideal, we have passed the hard time and soon you
will hear good news” ended.
