Jordan grants political asylum to defected Syrian fighter jet pilot
Jordan has granted political asylum to a defecting Syrian pilot on Thursday hours after he landed his jet at a military air base in the kingdom, government spokesman Samih Maaytah told AFP news agency.
“The council of ministers has decided to grant the pilot, Colonel Hassan Merei al-Hamade, political asylum, on his request,” said Maaytah, who is also information minister.
Syria has branded the pilot a “traitor” and said it wanted to recover the warplane he used to flee into neighburing Jordan.
“The pilot is considered a deserter and a traitor to his country, and to his military honor, and he will be sanctioned under military rules,” state television quoted the defense ministry as saying.
The Syrian air force Russian-made MiG, which was reported missing by Syrian state TV earlier on Thursday afternoon, made an emergency landing at a military base in the neighboring country.
Syrian state television named the pilot as Colonel Hassan Hamada, saying communications were lost with his plane while he was on a training mission near the border with Jordan.
Hamada asked for political asylum in Jordan, Maaytah said earlier on Thursday.
“The Syrian air force Russian-made MiG made an emergency landing at the King Hussein air base in Mafraq,” in northern Jordan near the border with Syria.
“[The pilot] is being debriefed at the moment,” Maaytah had told Reuters.
Syrian state television said communication was lost with a plane of the same model at 10:34 a.m.
The Syrian National Council along with activists had claimed the pilot had defected prior to confirmation of the news.
Georges Sabra, spokesman for the SNC told AFP: “The plane took off at high speed and flew at low altitude from a military base situated between Daraa and Sweida in the south of the country. These planes usually fly in twos or threes, not alone.
“It is certain that the pilot has defected,” he added. “It is not normal that a jet should take off at such speed. It is to avoid detection by the radars.”
He added that the pilot is from Deir Ezzor (in eastern Syria) “and his family is known for its opposition” to Assad’s regime.
Activists said this was the first defection involving an aircraft since the start of the 15-month-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
More than 120,000 Syrians fleeing the violence in their homeland have taken refuge in Jordan, according to the Amman government. The United Nations has registered 20,000 of them.
More than 15,000 people have been killed in the Syrian uprising, according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Thursday.
The United States swiftly welcomed the defection of the Syrian fighter pilot.
“We welcome this pilot’s decision to do the right thing,” U.S. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told AFP.
“We have long called for the military and members of the Syrian regime to defect and abandon their positions rather than be complicit in the regime’s atrocities.
“This is just one of countless instances where Syrians, including members of the security forces, have rejected the horrific actions of the Assad regime, and certainly it will not be the last.”
Merei al-Hamade
Opposition sources said pilot Hamada is a 44-year-old Sunni Muslim from Idlib province and he had smuggled his family to Turkey before his dramatic defection.
His hometown Kfar Takharim has been repeatedly shelled in the past several months and suffered intense artillery and helicopter bombardments in the last few days, opposition campaigners who spoke to his family said.
Many air force personnel and well as army soldiers are from Syria’s Sunni majority, although intelligence and senior officers are largely Alawite, the minority sect to which Assad and his family belong and which forms their power base.
The International Institute for Strategic Studies says the air force has 365 combat capable aircraft, including 50 MiG-23 Flogger and MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters and 40,000 personnel - a reflection of the overwhelming military advantage Assad has over his poorly-equipped foes.
The most prominent defection so far in the conflict was that of Colonel Riad al-Asaad last July, who helped set up the rebel Free Syria Army after taking refuge in Turkey.
Last week Brigadier General Ahmad Berro, head of a tank unit in Aleppo province, fled with his family to Turkey.
Though a boost to Assad’s foes, the pilot’s defection could complicate the international scenarios of a conflict that many governments fear could spill over Syria’s border and spread though the already volatile Middle East.
Ties between Jordan and Syria were already strained - Jordan has criticized Assad over his crackdown on the uprising but has been restrained in its rhetoric.
Amman is nervous over a possible Syrian military reaction after months of border tension as thousands of Syrians flee the violence to Jordan.
A Jordanian official, who asked not to be named, said the incident with the pilot was “difficult to handle.”

This is what I wrote last year sometime and I think it is still valid I highlight relevant parts:
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
One would have thought that Americans would have learned to be prudent about the unintended consequences of their actions by now.
After the case of Roe v. Wade which legalised abortion in America in 1973. Americans were surprised that some 15 to 20 years later that there were steep reductions in crime rates. Later studies have suggested there is a link between the two. Simply unwanted children often fatherless were more inclined to commit crime in their teens. When the learned judges made this decision to legalise abortion they could not have dreamt of the effect on crime rates.
The Pakistani ISI proved itself to be a master chef in the eighties in the way they created an unpalatable meal for the Soviets which not only led to the withdrawal of the Soviets from Afghanistan but contributed to the eventual collapse of the Soviet system,. The ingredients included in this meal were American & Saudi money,Waabbi ideology, American weapons. The Saudi American & Pakistani“friends” revelled in their success. However this “success” was short lived because in particular the Americans didn't want to get involved in washing the dishes. They were happy to provide the ingredients, assist the cook but cleaning up after dinner was below them.
Not in the wildest dreams of the Americans could they foresee the unintended consequences.
With the demise of the Soviets the world entered a unipolar world with just one superpower America. But the seeds of destruction of the American empire had been sown by the Americans themselves.
1. It is now commonly accepted that the Americans were complicit in the creation of the Taleban/Al qaeda Frankenstein[ii]. The defeat of a superpower by irregulars was clearly a lesson that Osama & co took to heart. If they could destroy the Soviets why not the Americans?
2. It was the designation of Pakistan as a frontline state in the eighties by the Americans against Soviet expansion that enabled Pakistan to avoid first sanctions and second avoid a destruction of nuclear facilities by Israel/India/America a la Saddam’s Iraq style. Simply American actions allowed Pakistan get through the most sensitive stage of developing of nuclear weapons [iii].
The attack on the twin towers by Al Qaeda was not chosen as a random target. It was specifically chosen because it was recognised as symbol of western capitalism[iv]. Osama wanted to bleed america to death. He wanted America to leave arab lands because they would no longer be able to afford to finance wars in distant lands.
America’s disproportionate response to the twin towers attack; the invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan is estimated to have cost in the region of 4 trillion US dollars [v]. No one can deny the macroeconomic [vi]effects of the attack itself.
Osama it would appear has died but it would appear Americans are being bled to death. Today America has official unemployment standing at 9.2% in reality nearer 17% [vii]. One in six in america on food stamps [viii]. America today has a unsustainable deficit of $14 trillion plus.
If the US dollar was not the reserve currency America would be bankrupt as the French finance Minister Giscard d’estaing said in the sixties the reserve currency allows America the exorbitant privilege. This is what allow Americans to undertake quantitive easing aka printing money and get away with it.
There are two countries in the world that could destroy the US dollar as reserve currency overnight that is Saudi and China. If Saudis refused to accept the US dollar for their oil or if the Chinese started dumping the dollar that would be the end. However Saudis and Chinese would not be left unscathed themselves by these actions. If US dollar was not reserve currency a gallon of petrol in America would go over $100. Americans would be unable to fuel their weapons of terror like the F16’s. Even if Saudis and China were to take no action but continue decreasing their reliance on the dollar I estimate that the tipping point for the US$ will be reached within 10 years [ix].
Has Osama in death succeeded. Will historians in future years look back and say he struck the first fatal blow at Pax America
Clearly we are rapidly approaching the end of Pax America. America is on the demise and China is on the rise. Sometime in the future China will take over the role of world leader. This is inevitable as the sun rises. Its just a question of time. In the past empires have clashed and there has always been war and misery whenever the baton is exchanged. You may well think that America and British empire exchanged the baton peacefully. But this is not the case. Only Hitler and the Germans stopped direct hostilities between the British empire. In fact in 1930 America was making preparations to attack the British[x].
The big question is can Americans accept the new world order where they and white English speaking countries will not have the edge and control world resources.
We live in a world today that is often described as a global village. To me this just means that a steady osmosis has been taking place since the early nineties. Its like mixing water with a dye. It was happening because the dye and water were in contact, but the effect of the global village is to shake the bottle and mix the dye and water quickly and completely at a quicker rate. It is inevitable that this osmosis will see a redistribution of wealth and resources. The richer Americans will get poorer, the poorer Chinese will become richer etc. It is unlikely that the average Chinese will be as rich as the average American today. But the Chinese will be better off and the American worse off. The Americans or Europeans will will face greater difficult in adjusting as they are not used to hardship.
The west and or Americans use notions of democracy and human rights to try to gain the moral high ground which in reality is just an anaesthetic to soothe the collective conceience of the remnants' of the population of the Judeo Christian empire. When the writer refers to a country the reference is to the relevant countries government. The writer feels the necessity to say this because although America prides itself in that it is a democracy its foreign policy is dictated by a displined small number of American Jews (hense the demonising of Pakistan the only moslem country with nukes) with the majority of American people living in the ignorance fed on a daily diet of propaganda from the likes of Fox news. In the UK 75% of the electorate chose not to vote or vote against the present incumbent. Yet the govt can and does lead the UK into war. It is asserted that if such a thing as democracy existed wars would not exist. People do not choose to go to war. Governments decide to go to war. It is submitted the western notions of fairness and human rights are just a cloak for their nefarious designs.
Its with this background that we have to see American actions in the rest of the world including Iraq Afghanistan and Libya. t would seem that Syria Pakistan and Iran could soon be recipients of the American way of life in the near future. If Americans were to succeed in having their way in Afghanistan and Pakistan it would seriously threaten China bearing in mind that India is already friendly towards America. It would be a serious setback to Chinese in that supply routes could be closed by America at will.
China & Russia are probably the only two militaries that can afford to take America on and make Americans think twice. I say this because China & Russia are the only two countries that can threaten the American mainland with nuclear weapons.
I am not suggesting that they would necessarily win against America but they could certainly cause Americans unacceptable damage.
One can not help notice that when Russia took action against Georgia who Americans and Nato were making friendly overtures to Americans and Nato did little to help Georgia who they had earlier encouraged to be boisterous towards Russia. The American therefore can be pragmatic when pushed and their bluff is called.
American sabre rattling on Iran is not being ignored by Russia & China. Both have prevented Iran from being completely isolated. The Chinese and Russians were not happy with what happened in Libya and are unlikely to be conned again. The movement towards Syria by Russian assets and the refusal by Russians to accept missiles near their borders must not be ignored as the wishfull dreams of power by a former superpower.
With Putin about to be re-elected in Russia makes the way for a more assertive Russia when it comes to America. The only time there seemed that coordination was lacking between Medev and Putin was on the Libyan action and it was clear that Putin thought Nato’s actions were unacceptable and likened Natos actions to the Crusaders [xi].
I believe that the Chinese & Russians are keeping a close eye on what is happening and may coordinate their actions to prevent this
The danger is that Americans and Europe are in financial crisis and may need to get more adventurous in their search for stealing third world resources and influence and may use force. Will they risk the ire of China and or Russia? They will not in my opinion accept a new order that is not dominated by American, European and white English speaking countries? Could they? Will they risk WW3 with nukes?
Many will see a war hot or cold unlikely, because why should China or Russia risk their own assets for Pakistan, Iran etc? Could China not just keep rising without a war? My take is that the west can see what is going to happen ie if they dont take some sort of action they will no longer lead the world. If they keep managing to get away with their adventures in due course China & Russia will be targets.
.
Lawrence Freeman from the Executive Intelligence Review magazine [xii]has stated that
“President Obama is acting on a British geopolitical plan to force a confrontation with Russia and China, a military confrontation of which Syrian and Iran would nearly be the ignition point. But the real goal is a war to stop the progress that Russia and China are engulfed in” .
I think in the face of this alliance Russia has a key part to play and America when it realises its losing may try bribing Russia. After all the Russians are white at least.
Will Russia & China have the foresight to prevent American and Nato from stealing and controlling the world resources before its too late?

A traitor will always be a traitor, congratulations to Jordan now they have a new traitor in their country, now his name will be added to the list along with King Hussein.
Defense Ministry Statement: Colonel Hassan Mirei al-Hamada is a Deserter, a Traitor to his Country and Military Honor
The Ministry of Defense said that at 10: 34 a.m. on Thursday, communication was lost with a MiG-21 aircraft flown by the pilot Colonel Hassan Mirei al-Hamada during a usual training flight.
The ministry said in a statement that the aircraft was last detected over the Syrian southern borders before communication was lost with it, adding that the warplane left the Syrian airspace and landed in Jordan.
The Ministry said that the pilot al-Hamada is a deserter and a traitor to his country and military honor, and will be punished accordingly.
The ministry said that contacts with the Jordanian sides are underway to restore the aircraft.
Earlier, an official source announced that contact was lost with an MiG-21 aircraft that was on a training flight.
The source added in a statement that the aircraft, which was piloted by Col. Hassan Mirei al-Hamadeh, was near the Syrian southern borders before contact with it was lost at around 10: 34 am.
In Amman, a Jordanian government source told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the MiG-21 warplane was forced to land in north Jordan.

Brave pilot with a heart full of love to his country people first and not to a dictator who is massacring his people in daily basis.
The number of defectors is increasing continuously from different areas in the military This shows their bravely and strong witnessing of this dictator's massacres. Shame on people who stand behind this criminal.
The assad's day is coming soon enshallah.
You call him a traitor for refusing to drop bombs on innocent and poor kids and women! He is a Hero and more heroes are coming out to free Syria from this new Hitler.

Libya tribal hack and slash: Hundreds killed and wounded in *week
on
Published: 21 June, 2012, 14:43
Clashes between warring factions are heating up in western Libya. Tribes that once supported the country’s uprising are battling each other and pro-Gaddafi rival tribes - all against the background of freebee arms.
Press secretary of the Libyan government Nasser al-Manaa reported that clashes between three tribes from Az Zintan, Mizda and Al-Shegaiga village resulted in at least 105 deaths and more than 500 wounded just last week. The conflict reportedly flared over a strip of land repossessed by one of the tribes.
Al-Manaa revealed that the violence was stopped only after a government military presence was established in the region.
The number of dead and injured in Libya is comparable to the body count in Syria and following UN rhetoric, the ongoing violence in Libya strikingly resembles a civil (tribal) war.
Tribalism is an age-old challenge for Libya, always threatening stability and security. Former leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi had managed to curb many tribal conflicts throughout the 42 years of his rule, often by using force. When an armed tribal rebellion broke out in 2009, Gaddafi had to use Air Force to bring the rebels under control.
Supported from abroad, an uprising against Muammar Gaddafi started in February 2011. Severe fighting between rebels and Gaddafi supporters lasted till October 20, when Colonel Gaddafi was killed by a raging mob near the city of Sirte after rebels took control of the capital Tripoli.
With Gaddafi gone, the National Transitional Council that came to power is facing the same dangers as the previous regime. The NTC has to deal with restless tribes that use the unstable position of central government to seize the territories of weaker neighboring groups.
When the situation got tough, the Colonel distributed as many as one million Kalashnikov assault rifles among those who expressed at least minimum allegiance towards the regime. And that number is just a fraction of that stolen from devastated military arsenals later on.
Libya appears to be so flooded with arms right now that even the grandchildren of today’s fighters will have enough thirty-round banana clips to sort things out for years to come.
Who thinks this is what Syria needs or wants??? Why those that want action in Syria do not care about Libyans any more??

Allahu Akbar & Alhamdu lillah
it is just another nail in bashaar's coffin, that genocidal mass murderer have no future, in this life or in the after life.
A an honest pilot, his humanity and sense of honor and just prevented him from going like a dog to kill women children and innocent people.

As per this news quoting a Jordanian newspaper
3 Syrian Airforce pilots have taken refuge in Jordan
The 3 entered Jrdan illegally just hours after usain Mare'ei Al Hamada reached Jordan in his MIG-21.
The first ilot who left Syria was a squadron leader and had complete information about the topography of the the area adn evaded detection on Jordanina and Syrian Radars by flying low
Upon Entering the Jordanian air space he sent distress calls citing emergency situation in the plane and hence it was allowed to land at King Hasan Airbase

صحيفة أردنية: ثلاثة طيارين سوريين لجأوا إلى المملكة بطرق غير شرعية
الحدود الأردنية السورية
عمان- (يو بي اي
: تمكّن ثلاثة طيارين عسكريين من سلاح الجو السوري انشقوا عن النظام، من اللحاق بزميلهم الطيار السوري العقيد المنشق حسين مرعي الحماده (54 عاما الذي لجأ بطائرته المقاتلة (ميغ 21) إلى الأردن الخميس الماضي.
ونقلت صحيفة (العرب اليوم الأردنية في عددها الصادر الأحد عن معارض سوري مقيم في عمان، قوله إن "الطيارين الثلاثة تمكنوا من دخول الأراضي الأردنية عبر الش يك الحدودي بين البلدين بطريقة غير شرعية بعد ساعات على تمكّن زميلهم من الدخول".
وأوضح المعارض السوري أن "الطيارين يقيمون بإحدى محافظات المملكة بعد أن أمّنت السلطات الأمن لهم".
ونقلت الصحيفة أيضاً عن مصادر بالمعارضة السورية، قولها إن "الطيار السوري المنشق كان يطير على مقربة من الحدود الأردنية ولكونه برتبة عقيد وقائد سرب في سوريا ولديه معرفة تامة بطيبوغرافية الأرض استطاع التسلل من خلال الرادارات السورية والأردنية والتحليق على ارتفاع منخفض جدا".
وأضافت المصادر أن "الطيار أطلق عند دخوله الأجواء الأردنية نداء استغاثة بحجة وجود حالة طارئة بالطائرة وسمح له بالهبوط بقاعدة الملك حسين الجوية في شمال شرق البلاد".
وأشارت الى أنه "فور نزوله من الطائرة تم اتخاذ الإجراءات الأمنية اللازمة، حيث تم ابلاغ المعنيين بسلاح الجو والقيادة العامة للقوات المسلحة ورئاسة الورزاء وجرى التحفظ عليه من قبل الأجهزة المختصة وسلّم الطيار كافة معداته العسكرية الى السلطات المعنية في البلاد".

ونقلت الصحيفة أيضاً عن مصادر بالمعارضة السورية، قولها إن "الطيار السوري المنشق كان يطير على مقربة من الحدود الأردنية ولكونه برتبة عقيد وقائد سرب في سوريا ولديه معرفة تامة بطيبوغرافية الأرض استطاع التسلل من خلال الرادارات السورية والأردنية والتحليق على ارتفاع منخفض جدا".
وأضافت المصادر أن "الطيار أطلق عند دخوله الأجواء الأردنية نداء استغاثة بحجة وجود حالة طارئة بالطائرة وسمح له بالهبوط بقاعدة الملك حسين الجوية في شمال شرق البلاد".
وأشارت الى أنه "فور نزوله من الطائرة تم اتخاذ الإجراءات الأمنية اللازمة، حيث تم ابلاغ المعنيين بسلاح الجو والقيادة العامة للقوات المسلحة ورئاسة الورزاء وجرى التحفظ عليه من قبل الأجهزة المختصة وسلّم الطيار كافة معداته العسكرية الى السلطات المعنية في البلاد".

I think the 3 quarter of Syrian population are traitors and it would be very difficult to Syrian loyalist to fight with huge numerical advantage of these traitors.

العقيد حمادة: كانت أول طلعة لي وكنت في انتظار هذه الفرصة
تمكّن ثلاثة عسكريين من سلاح الجو السوري انشقوا عن النظام من اللحاق بزميلهم الطيار السوري العقيد المنشق حسين مرعي حماده 54 عاما الذي منحته الحكومة حق اللجوء السياسي الخميس الماضي بعد أن تمكن من دخول الأجواء الأردنية بطائرة ميج 21 تابعة للقوات السورية.
وقال معارض سوري مقيم في عمان إن الطيارين الثلاثة تمكنوا من دخول الأراضي الأردنية عبر الشيك الحدودي بطريقة غير شرعية بعد أن تمكن زميلهم من الدخول بعدة ساعات، وهم يقيمون في إحدى محافظات المملكة بعد أن أمّنت السلطات الأمن لهم.
وفي سياق متصل نفت الناطق الرسمي باسم السفارة البريطانية في عمان رنا نجم أنباء حول وجود مفاوضات مع اللاجئ السوري حمادة لمنحه حق اللجوء السياسي في بريطانيا أو حتى إجراء أية مباحثات بخصوص اللجوء.
وقالت إن بريطانيا رحبت بقرار الأردن منح العقيد حماده حق اللجوء لكنها في الوقت نفسه لم تجر أية مباحثات تتعلق بما أثير حول منحه حق اللجوء السياسي في بريطاني.
ونشر الطيار العقيد حسن مرعي الحمادة رسالة مذيلة بتوقيعه باللغتين العربية والانجليزية على صفحته على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي (الفيس بوك وجّه فيها التحية لأهالي حوران وكشف خلالها أسباب لجوئه إلى الأردن وانشقاقه عن الجيش السوري.
العرب اليوم تنشر مقتطفات من الرسالة كما وردت على الصفحة التي حملت علم سورية

أهلي في سورية الحبيبة: قبل أن أغادر الحدود السورية كنت أرى السهول والجبال كنت أرى النصر القادم كنت أرى ذلك الشعب الذي كسر جدار الصمت.
قال عني بعض المعارضين إني هربت بعدما قصفت عدة مناطق مدنية !!
وأنا أقول لكم يا أهلي في سورية هذه كانت أول طلعة لي وكنت في انتظار هذه الفرصة.
وكانت مهمتي قصف مناطق مدنية في درعا حوران مصنع الكرم والشهامة كانت أمامي الأهداف التي عينوها لنا قبل خروجنا.
حيث خرجنا كنا 6 طائرات، مع العلم لست أنا الوحيد الذي قمت بالانشقاق عن النظام. إذ كان هناك زميل آخر على موعد أن يلتحق بي لكن المضادات الأرضية أسقطت طائرته.
