Afghanis in Syria fighting for Assad

How many Pakistani takfiris fighting in Syria? Atawolf start talking about the facts. There are probably THOUSANDS of Pakistanis Sunnis fighting in Syria as 'home grown rebels'. Know how I know that? 200 million muslims, mostly Sunni, poor and with Taliban activities going on. Even Turkey has thousands in Syria, and Turkey is a lot more modern and progressive. Heck, even a couple hundred Turks from NL are fighting there, including that motherless POS Yilmaz. Gebersin o ibne.

Could you provide the link to the video you are referring too??
Anyways from the pics i have seen most of these mercenaries are Afghan hazara shites...
As for them being a threat...maybe but not remotely as significant as the takfiri threat to the Pakistani state !

Those shia going there are poor bastards, get a little money from Iran, or are very religious and want to go protecct shrines or what not. They wouldn't do anything against the Pakistani government. The disgusting takfiris are killing them like dogs in Pakistan (last week the bus killing) and they don't do anything back. The only inherently violent muslims are takfiris, every one knows that. Not the shia and not the normal Sunnis. Only takfiris (their entire ideology is about 'purifying' islam, by killing 'apostates'.

You all half wits Praise Almighty and thank him that Iran is a strong buffer between Middle east shit hole and Pakistan.
Imagine if Taliban in Afghan-Pak bordering region having direct road link with their god for saken terrorist brothers in Iraq and Syria.
You people are so dumb and stupid to take any side in middle east.
For the time being its your own decision. See the reality or close your eyes to your sectarian affiliation.
Shia Terrorism is a problem in Iraq and Lebnon.
Its not a problem in Pakistan.
Pakistan is destroyed by Salafi ideology terrorists. No matter how you try to hide this fact.
Sucide bombers, Tens of thousand armed militias with state of the art weapons and training, tens of thousand of our civilians have succumed to Salafi Terrorist groups sucide bombing not Shia terror groups random firing.
But Sectarian affiliation is the worst kind of blindness syndrome i have ever seen and nobody will accept this reality.
Iran is capable of stirring Balochistan some what or a few target killings here and there, Thats all shia groups are capable of and can be controlled. On the other hand dear GCC funded Salafi groups i dont even need to explain in detail.

Assad is completely relying on Hezbollah. If we want the sectarian war to stop in Syria we have to cut the sponsors of Assad. Otherwise this war will go on forever. 250 000 already died at the hands of Assad who is constantly bombing civilians in cities and villages. Nobody supports Assad anymore. He is completely rellying on Iran now.

Embattled Assad relies on Hezbollah support

QALAMOUN MOUNTAINS, Syria/BEIRUT — When Lebanon’s Hezbollah first joined Syria’s war on the side of President Bashar Al-Assad, its role was a closely guarded secret. Today, as Hezbollah plants its flag in land won from rebels north of Damascus, its role could hardly be more public.

And for Syria’s increasingly embattled president, Hezbollah’s help is more critical than ever.

In the last week, the Iranian-backed guerrilla group has unleashed its powerful arsenal to drive insurgents from wide areas of the Qalamoun mountain range, a short drive from Assad’s seat of power in Damascus.

“We have secured 300 square kilometres between Syria and Lebanon,” the Hezbollah commander leading the operation told journalists during a trip to the area on Friday, as dozens of fighters in desert fatigues combed the barren landscape.

Hezbollah’s yellow flag fluttered from nearby hilltops seized from fighters identified as members of Al-Qaeda’s Syrian arm, the Nusra Front. “It takes a while for the boys to clear the area because there are lots mines,” the commander said.

The offensive, a joint operation with the Syrian army, is one bright spot for the Syrian leader. Over the past two months Assad has lost more of his country to a patchwork of groups.

For Assad, it has been one of the toughest spells since the first year or two of the conflict that spiralled out of an uprising against his rule during the 2011 “Arab Spring”.

He has lost big areas of Idlib province.

Insurgents have edged dangerously close to the northwestern coastal areas that form the heartland of the minority Alawite sect to which Assad belongs. The Syrian army and allied militia are sending reinforcements to fight back.

In the south, he has also lost ground to rebels including mainstream groups that are proving more potent and organised.

Noting that “the situation is trending less favorably for the regime”, a top US military officer said on May 8 he would look to the negotiating table if he were in Assad’s shoes.

Yet the setbacks do not appear to have forced a change in strategy on the part of Assad or his most important allies, Iran and Russia.

Tehran is heavily invested in a conflict.

Hezbollah, set up by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 1982, is today fighting in parts of Syria where it had not previously deployed, its leader, Sayyed Hasssan Nasrallah, said on May 5.

Salem Zahran, a Lebanese pundit close to the group, says these include the northwestern province of Idlib, where Assad lost an entire city in late March.

Zahran said Damascus had responded by “drawing on its friends more”. “The regime has become completely invested in the decision of partnering with Hezbollah,” he said.

Syrian state TV, in its coverage of the Qalamoun fighting, has for the first time credited Hezbollah for its role.

From Iran, there have been renewed statements of support for Damascus. Reports of new Iranian financial support have helped the Syrian currency strengthen from record lows it touched after the fall of Idlib.

The Syrian war has been a strain on both Iran and Hezbollah: Tehran has spent billions supporting Assad economically and militarily. Hezbollah, with a fighting force estimated to number many thousands, has been burying a steady flow of fighters killed in Syria. The group says 13 have been killed in Qalamoun.

For Assad’s opponents, the support from Iran and Hezbollah is a sign of his weakness, not strength. They claim he has lost control to his allies, or at least appears ever more dependent on them.

Opposition reports say it was divisions over the extent of Iranian influence over fighting earlier this year in southern Syria that led to the demise of Syrian official Rustom Ghazali. His death in unclear circumstances was announced in April.

Sources close to the government dismiss as nonsense the idea of any differences over strategy in a Syrian administration where they say power is still concentrated in Assad’s hands.

Issam Al-Rayyes, spokesman for the “Southern Front” alliance of mainstream rebels in southern Syria, says their battle is now against Iranian influence. “We expect more (rebel) progress. But we can’t forget that the militias that are supporting Assad have not yet given up on him,” Rayyes said.

In the north, the alliance of insurgent groups that successfully took Idlib city and the nearby town of Jisr Al-Shughour have set up a joint operations room aimed at taking the government-held part of Aleppo.

That marks a dramatic shift in momentum from February, when the Syrian army and allied militia launched a big push to encircle the insurgent-held side of the city.

The Syrian military and allied militia appear not to be making quick progress in recovering lost areas of Idlib. Diplomats say the northern rebels appear to be in possession of greater quantities of anti-tank weapons.

Zahran said Assad’s priority was to secure Damascus, “then the Damascus countryside, then Aleppo ... because the regime feels that the Turks are serious in taking control of Aleppo”.

“The regime feels that Idlib is not the goal, but a bridge to reach Aleppo”.

Despite the setbacks for Assad, Western diplomats are cautious about forecasting the end of a leader who has consistently defied forecasts of his demise in the four-year-long war.

Indeed, Assad may have capitalized on the crisis to galvanize some foreign backing: “The regime’s attempt to hold together the alliance behind Assad seems to have borne the desired fruit,” one Western diplomat said. — Reuters

I just checked that video. They weren't Pakistanis. They were speaking Darri with a blend of Pashtu. The music playing was also Darri and Pashtu.

It seems, the Iranian govt is filling Assads rank of mercenaries with Afghan Shia refugees.

sir i came across another source which told me that shias from Pak have fought for Iran in Iran-Iraq war and also they are fighting even today.....

Well, Iran hapens to be a very powerful player in the region. So 'nobody' is supporting Assad is bs. Regional conflicts can only be solved if everybody is involved. Not just by force. Force leads to more force. And why aren't we concerned about KURDS grabbing land in Syria? Arab villages being taken over by them? Do you think they'll just give it back?

Good good... Anyone who kills those Syrian extremists opposition scums deserve a pad on the back..

Iran has a Balochestan problem itself. I don't see how Iran would 'stir' them.

Kurds can be dealt with very easy in Syria. There are not much mountains and places to hide to play hide and seek. When FSA finishes off Assad, the landgrab issue can be solved very easily. Report of yesterday said US and Turkey agreed on no fly-zone. Iran being "a poweful player"doesn't say much. Iran has no business in Syria. You don't even border them.

USA has been talking about no fly zone since 2011 . Because of Russia till now,there has been none. And why do wish to mess with the Russian Bear? I won't advice that. After Islam attacked them Muscovy ,look at the number of islamic empires they smashed to smithereens. Same with nazi germany,Franch empire of napoleon etc.

 

[Sinnerman108]

How do you know which video I'm talking about? There is enough sources that Iran is also using Shia Pakistani in Syria. Eventually the skills that they get in Syria will be used against Pakistan one day.


Twitter... Very good source.

The sooner Pakistani realize that Pakistan is under the hostage of Iran the better. They constantly use this threat against you.

You will find all sorts of Pakistanis.
You will never find a clever Pakistani.

Unfortunately, we are followers not leaders.

 

[JUBA]

Just like Erdogan is doing all the dirty work of House of Saud? Remember the maxim, "what goes around comes around"........ I see Turkey becoming Pakistan of late 90's. Trust you me, I've seen all this before.

So the question becomes, the 'New' Turkish Army, devoid of ANY secular credentials, what will they do to Republic of Turkey in the decades to come?

How about addressing the OP's points about Pakistani Shiites mercenaries going to Syria to fight for Asshead regime instead of twisting the topic? Typical Shiite behavior.

Sure. I think both can co-exist. Look in Europe, many competing ports close to each other. Iran and Pakistan need that gas pipeline up and running soon as well. Good prices gas for Irans big neighbor Pakistan.

Yeah, just wait. The US won't allow the Kurds to be dealt with. Don't hold your breath. And Iran doesn't border them? So what? Is Turkey only allowed to influence it's bordering countries? The important thing is we're talking about regions, not borders. It's not like Iran is up in Morocco's arse. The US is the one who isn't nearly bordering anybody, and yet is up in everybody's business. Yes, Iran has interests in Syria. Just like Turkey.

It is between US and Turkey. Iran doesn't have a say in Syria. Iran doesn't get affected by 4 million refugees. Turkey is feeding Syrian people while Iranians pretend to care about Syrians. All Iran is funding is Assad to kill more Syrians. Iran needs to change its behavior otherwise there will never be a deal with Iran. Turkey/US agreed upon no-fly zone. What is Iran going to do? LOL
