Statement on Blocking Aid to Northern Syria through Border Crossings

Praise be to Allah, and peace and prayers be upon the master of messengers and all his family and companions.

The different forms of aggression perpetrated by the Russian occupation and its criminal subordinate, Bashar al-Assad, against our nation and people in Syria are no longer a secret, especially on the liberated north of Syria. The Russian occupation and its lackeys have not only bombed and displaced defenceless civilian populations by bombing their schools and hospitals, which were already scarce and lacking resources, but they also renew their attempts to block the United Nations assistance delivered to northern Syria through Turkey and divert it to the Syrian regime, making it another tool for suppressing our people and compounding their suffering and agony.

The Syrian Islamic Council, as it follows up these threats, states the following:

First: The Russian presence on our land is a fully-fledged iniquitous occupation. Such occupation cannot be entrusted with the interests of our people and should not be given the opportunity for further oppression and humiliation on our nation and people.

Second: The Syrian regime has lost legitimacy since the first days of the revolution as it has been rejected and revolted against by all of its components. The recent electoral play does not grant it any credibility or legitimacy as this puppet show didn't even deceive the naive ones not to mention the sane.

This regime does not care about the suffering and agony of the Syrian people. It will take such aid as another way to strengthen its militias and criminals in order to increase its aggression and crimes against our people and nation. Such a regime cannot be entrusted with the daily bread of the Syrian people and it is unable to manage it. Evidence to this is the situation of our people living in the areas 14 Dhul Qadah 1442 H corresponding to Jun 24, 2021M
