EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - with the wives, mothers, sisters of martyrs who have taken up arms to defend their homeland. A message for mothers in the West.<br /><br />The courageous volunteer women fighters of #AlSkeilbiyyeh have suffered unimaginable loss during the eight year war waged against them by the U.S Coalition of terror and their allies in the Gulf States, Israel and Turkey.<br /><br />Young wives have lost their husbands early in their married life which should be a time of joy and companionship. Sisters have lost their brothers and mothers their sons. Fadi Ibrahim Salloum was the only son of one of the mothers who speaks to me. As she left the room, his mother reached out to touch the photo of her son displayed among those of all the NDF martyrs from Al Skeilbiyyeh that have given their lives defending the town, she stroked his face in the photo gently before leaving.<br /><br />"I hope that every mother would understand that if she had children and she loves her homeland, it is her right to defend her homeland when evil threatens it" she told me.<br /><br />Please watch the faces of these unbelievably brave women as their friends are speaking, just to understand their suffering and pain - despite which they have chosen to stand in solidarity with their brothers in the National Defence Forces and the Syrian Arab Army.<br /><br />Samira, one of the fighters, described to us how coming to the NDF center every day gave them a purpose, a feeling of being part of a family.<br /><br />A dear friend of mine in Syria saw the photographs of these lady fighters and he said " what has this war done to our people that women should feel that they have to protect themselves and their children in this way?"<br /><br />Never forgive, never forget.<br /><br />God bless the #NDF, the #SAA and these incredible lionesses for the sacrifices they make not only for #Syria but for all of us. May peace return swiftly to their beautiful town and homeland so that they may finally grieve without the spectre of war and the continued threat of international terrorism.<br /><br />[ Thank you, as always to Wissam Sliman for the translation and your hard work ]<br /><br />Thank you also always to Nabel Alabdalla for making this interview possible.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhRYtig2FDc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhRYtig2FDc</a>
