FRENCH COLONIZERS HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE LOSS OF THEIR COLONY

By Elena Gromova 

History stutters: the new leader of the SYRIAN National Coalition, knighted by the West, is none other than the grand-son of one of the chief collaborators of the FRENCH occupation of SYRIA in the 20s. Formerly, the FRENCH colonial power resorted to religious leaders to teach submission to the people under its domination; today it relies on clerics to overthrow the secular regime of the SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC.

 FRANCES "COLONIAL AMBITIONS" IN SYRIA?

 

More than 70 years has passed and the grandson of this Nur-Eddin – Mouaz al-Khatib, a former preacher at the Umayyad mosque in Damascus and now a deserter and traitor – has been elected head of the “QATAR COALITION” which was created on 11 November at a meeting in DOHA.

FRANCE has shown its gratitude to the third-generation collaborator al-Khatib, whose grandfather collaborated with the colonisers, for his faithful service. Namely the former colonial power has been the first to recognise the “QATAR COALITION” as a legitimate representative of the SYRIAN people. It is no surprise that the flag of the “opposition” – green, white and black with three stars – is the same as the flag from the time when SYRIA was under FRENCH mandate.

No sooner had SYRIA gained their freedom from TURKISH rule than it immediately fell under the authority of the FRENCH in 1920, and the League of Nations gave FRANCE a mandate to control SYRIA. The FRENCH occupation army, headed by General Henri Gouraud, faced weak opposition from an armed SYRIAN army which had only just been formed and had nothing except rifles and machine guns, while the FRENCH had heavy artillery and aircraft. The conflict was one-sided.

GENERAL YUSUF AL-’AZMA 1883-1920

The SYRIAN Minister of War Yusuf al-’Azma accepted the battle, knowing it would be impossible to win, but being a true patriot of his homeland, he was unable to allow the FRENCH to take Damascus without a fight. The battle took place 23 kilometres from Damascus, in the mountainous region of Maysalun. Yusuf al-’Azma personally took part in the one-sided battle. The soldiers fought for a whole day, but the superiority of the FRENCH was just too great. Only when all the SYRIAN soldiers had been killed were the FRENCH able to advance on Damascus.

Syrians and Druses rose up against the FRENCH occupiers in 1925 and even managed to liberate Damascus, but the FRENCH used their military strength to quash the uprising in 1927. The first shot of the uprising was fired on 7 June 1925 – a hero of the uprising, Hussein Murshid Radwan, wounded a FRENCH officer when he ordered a peaceful anti-FRENCH demonstration to be broken up.

SYRIA reveres its heroes and at the beginning of November, a magnificent monument was erected in the city of Suwayda in Hussein Murshid Radwan’s honour. The sculptor, Fuad Naim, has paid particular attention to the hero’s enormous sword which he has clenched in his mighty hand while challenging the FRENCH to battle.

FRANCE LOST SYRIA. SOMETHING IT CANNOT OVERCOME IT SEEMS 

In the center of Damascus, meanwhile, there is a monument in honor of the SYRIAN Defense Minister Yusuf al-’Azma, a hero of the Battle of Maysalun Pass. Here we have genuine insurgents who fought for a free SYRIA. Now, however, the word “insurgent” has been completely defiled and is used today to refer to all sorts of rubbish recruited from all corners of the world who are high on drugs and murdering SYRIANS for money.

Until quite recently there was another monument in honour of al-’Azma which stood near the General Staff building. On 3 September this year, however, during an attack on the General Staff building, terrorists did not spare this monument. The vandals destroyed it. Can SYRIA’S history really be that dear to these mercenaries? Or to the descendants of those who collaborated with the occupiers?

70 years has passed since FRANCE lost SYRIA as one of its colonies and was forced to recognize its independence. As recent events have shown, however, FRANCE just cannot ignore the colonial itch. It is doing everything to regain its sovereignty, although this time around, even if they conquer SYRIA, it would no longer be full sovereignty since FRANCE would have to share it with the USA, Turkey and other NATO partners. This is not troubling Hollande, however, who is backing every reprobate in SYRIA so long as the reprobate’s position falls within the neocolonial plans of FRANCE’S false socialists.

Back in the summer, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault did not hesitate in saying that FRANCE was supplying SYRIAN fighters with communication equipment and other technology. He spoke as though the equipment was not for the purpose of killing. But it is all the same – is it really not going to aid the murderers?

FRANCES INTENTIONS TO CREATE A “BUFFER” ZONE AND A “NO-FLY” ZONE HAD TO BE ABOLISHED 

And now the pseudo-socialist François Hollande has held a meeting with the old collaborator’s grandson, Mouaz al-Khatib. After the meeting in Paris, the ambassador of the SYRIAN terrorists showed up – a certain Munzir Makhous who, together with his boss, was part of the delegation who visited the Élysée Palace and implored Hollande to supply the fighters with heavy artillery. Hollande promised to bring the matter up for discussion with the countries of the EU.

Earlier, Hollande had announced his intentions to create a “buffer” zone and a “no-fly” zone in SYRIA. At that time, however, his own foreign secretary threw cold water on his plans by announcing that such zones could only be created by a decision of the UN Security Council. And the position of the UN Security Council is clear – RUSSIA and CHINA will not give the go ahead for yet more ventures like the ones that have already ruined LIBYA. Knowing this, however, Hollande is trying to raise the morale of the terrorists operating within SYRIA. In order to do this, he is promising to create a “no-fly zone” – the relentless bombardment of SYRIA, in other words – and this is the one thing that the terrorists want. They are putting themselves at risk every time they place an improvised explosive device near a school, a hospital, a shopping center, a mosque. Obviously they want to get support from the air so that they no longer have to risk their lives.

While the SYRIAN government and the SYRIAN people are placing monuments in honor of their heroes, the so-called “opposition members” are collaborating with the neocolonialists, making much of the colonialists’ flags while killing soldiers and civilians. FRANCE recognizes these murderers and terrorists as “legitimate representatives of the SYRIAN people”. The only question is whether “representatives” like these are what the SYRIAN people really need.
