Cracks and Disputes in Selecting a New President for the Manufactured Opposition Coalition
(Translated)

On the date of 12/9/2023, the General Assembly of the so-called Opposition Coalition chose Hadi Al-Bahra as its new president. The disagreements had reached their peak even before the selection of Hadi Al-Bahra, to the extent that some declared the coalition dead.

To the sincere in the land of Ash-Sham: The Opposition Coalition is nothing more than a politically engineered entity, under the eyes of various intelligence agencies and their backers. Its purpose is to create a political leadership for the revolutionary forces as a tool to carry out political conspiracies against the Revolution of Ash-Sham.

Some of its members were chosen to participate in the Revolution of Ash-Sham and contributed to its setback after it had come close to Damascus. From among them, a delegation was selected to negotiate some superficial constitutional amendments while maintaining the secular nature of the state and keeping religion separate from the state, disregarding the demands of the people of Sham and the principles of their revolution, which call for overthrowing the criminal regime and establishing Islamic rule in its place.

And the disagreements within this fabricated entity are nothing but the struggle of tools for personal interests and private gains. It is merely a competition among the masters for servants to serve them and serve the interests of the states conspiring against the Revolution of Ash-Sham. They seek to eliminate it through the American political solution and the implementation of the provisions of UN Resolution 2254. This coalition and its members have no connection to the revolution, its principles, or the true aims of its sons and daughters. They have forgotten that they are temporary tools used by the conspiring states and can be replaced according to the requirements of the stage, being discarded in various ways.

O Sincere Revolutionaries in the land of Ash-Sham: The great sacrifices you have made and the mighty heroics you have recorded during the long years of the revolution require genuine political leadership from your brothers and sons, a leadership that emerges from your belief: "La illah illa Allah, Muhammad Rasool Allah." A leadership that works to please Allah alone, moving forward with insight to regain control of our revolution's destiny. We march together with firm faith, trusting in Allah alone, continuing our revolution until we achieve its principles, foremost among them the overthrow of the criminal regime, its constitution, all its pillars, and symbols, and the establishment of Islamic rule in its place. This victory will not be achieved by those who surrender our decisions to the enemies of our revolution, entangling themselves in their schemes. Instead, our victory will be achieved by the sincere and aware among our sons and daughters who believe that victory lies in the hands of Allah alone and will descend only upon pure hands and hearts firmly connected to Allah alone, with full confidence that the promise of Allah, the Most High, and the glad tidings of His Messenger (saw) will undoubtedly come to fruition.

Allah Almighty says:

[وَعَدَ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئاً وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ]

“Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.” [Surat An-Nur:55].
