20 Feb 2020; MEMO: Leaders and members of Arab tribes in the Syrian governorate of Hasakah have called for American troops to be expelled from the country, reiterating their support for the Syrian army and its war against terrorism.
The Arab tribal elders and leaders held a gathering on Tuesday in the village of Khirbet Amo in the Qamishli countryside during which they declared their solidarity with the residents of Khirbet Amo who presented “an honourable image of resistance” against US forces, forcing them to retreat.
Sheikh Abdul Razzaq Al-Ta’i, leader of the Ta’i tribe, described Khirbet Amo’s residents’ resistance against US forces as “heroic and honourable” and a first step towards launching resistance against “the American forces occupying our land and a clear message to reject their occupation and presence on Syrian soil”.
He went on to call for support for the Syrian army which achieves great victories in its efforts to “liberate” all Syrian lands from terrorism and defend Syria against its enemies.
